< Ezekiel 25 >
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 “Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;
人子,你面向阿孟子民,講預言攻擊他們,
3 and you have said to the sons of Ammon: Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it has been defiled, And to the ground of Israel, Because it has been desolate, And to the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal:
向阿孟子民說:你們聽吾主上主的話! 吾主上主這樣說:因為你譏笑我的聖殿說:『哈哈! 聖殿可受了褻瀆! 』對以色列地域說:『它可荒蕪了! 』對猶大家族說:『他們可被擄去了! 』
4 Therefore, behold, I am giving you to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in you, And have placed their dwelling places in you. They eat your fruit, and they drink your milk,
為此,看,我要將你交給東方的子民作為產業,他們要在你那裏設立自己的帳幕,在那裏定居,吃你的果實,喝你的奶。
5 And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
我要使辣巴成為牧放駱駝之地,使阿孟人的地方成為羊棧;如此你們必承認我是上主。
6 For thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your clapping the hand, And of your stamping with the foot, And you rejoice with all your despite in soul Against the ground of Israel,
因為吾主上主這樣說:因為你們對以色列地方所遭受的一切,曾手舞足蹈,滿心喜歡;
7 Therefore, behold, I have stretched out My hand against you, And have given you for a portion to nations, And I have cut you off from the peoples, And caused you to perish from the lands; I destroy you, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.
因此,看,我要伸手打擊你,將你交給異族作為掠物;我要從人民中剷除你,由各國中消滅你;我要使你滅絕;如此,你必承認我是上主。」
8 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Behold, the house of Judah [is] as all the nations;
吾主上主這樣說:「因為摩阿布【和色依爾】說:看猶大家族與所有異民並無不同!
9 Therefore, behold, I am opening the shoulder of Moab—From the cities—from his cities—from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Ba‘al-Meon, and Kiriathaim,
為此,看,我要暴露摩阿布的山區,以及她邊垂的城池,暴露她全國的精華,如貝特耶史摩特,巴耳默紅和克黎雅塔殷。
10 To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations.
我要將他們同阿孟子民一起交給東方的子民作為產業,使他們在異民中再不被人提及。
11 And I do judgments in Moab, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.
我要向摩阿布施行懲罰:如此,他們必承認我是上主。」
12 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Indeed, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them.
吾主上主這樣說:「因為厄東曾對猶大家族復仇雪恥,因對他們復仇而犯了重罪;
13 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off man and beast from it, And given it up—a ruin, from Teman even to Dedan, They fall by sword.
為此,吾主上主這樣說:我要伸手打擊厄東,將人與走獸由境內剷除,使她成為曠野,從特曼到德丹的人都要死於刀下。
14 And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
我要藉我的百姓以色列的手替我報復厄東,他們要按我的怒氣和憤恨對待厄東,如此他們便知道這是我的報復──吾主上主的斷語。」
15 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, Destruction [with] continuous enmity,
吾主上主這樣說:「因為培肋舍特人以極殘忍的報復心來施行報復,為了他們的世仇,企圖消滅以色列;
16 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea,
為此吾主上主這樣說:我要伸手打擊培肋舍特人,剷除革勒提人,毀滅殘留在海濱的人。
17 And done great vengeance on them with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving out My vengeance on them!”
我要在他們身上以盛怒的懲罰施行嚴厲的報復;當我在他們身上施行報復時,他們便承認我是上主。」
