< Ezekiel 5 >
1 “And you, son of man, take a sharp weapon for yourself, take the barber’s razor for yourself, and you have caused [it] to pass over your head, and over your beard, and you have taken weighing scales for yourself, and apportioned them.
「人子啊,你要拿一把快刀,當作剃頭刀,用這刀剃你的頭髮和你的鬍鬚,用天平將鬚髮平分。
2 You burn a third part with fire in the midst of the city, at the fullness of the days of the siege; and you have taken the third part, you strike with a weapon around it; and the third part you scatter to the wind, and I draw out a weapon after them.
圍困城的日子滿了,你要將三分之一在城中用火焚燒,將三分之一在城的四圍用刀砍碎,將三分之一任風吹散;我也要拔刀追趕。
3 And you have taken there a few in number—and have bound them in your skirts;
你要從其中取幾根包在衣襟裏,
4 and you take of them again, and have cast them into the midst of the fire, and have burned them in the fire—out of it comes forth a fire to all the house of Israel.”
再從這幾根中取些扔在火中焚燒,從裏面必有火出來燒入以色列全家。
5 Thus said Lord YHWH: “This [is] Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, And the lands [are] around her.
主耶和華如此說:這就是耶路撒冷。我曾將她安置在列邦之中;列國都在她的四圍。
6 And she changes My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] around her, For they have kicked against My judgments, And My statutes—they have not walked in them.”
她行惡,違背我的典章,過於列國;干犯我的律例,過於四圍的列邦,因為她棄掉我的典章。至於我的律例,她並沒有遵行。
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, You have not walked in My statutes, And you have not done My judgments, According to the judgments of the nations that [are] around you, you have not done.”
所以主耶和華如此說:因為你們紛爭過於四圍的列國,也不遵行我的律例,不謹守我的典章,並以遵從四圍列國的惡規尚不滿意,
8 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I [am] against you, even I, And I have done judgments in your midst, Before the eyes of the nations.
所以主耶和華如此說:看哪,我與你反對,必在列國的眼前,在你中間,施行審判;
9 And I have done in you that which I have not done, And the like of which I do not do again, Because of all your abominations.
並且因你一切可憎的事,我要在你中間行我所未曾行的,以後我也不再照着行。
10 Therefore fathers eat sons in your midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done judgments in you, And have scattered all your remnant to every wind.
在你中間父親要吃兒子,兒子要吃父親。我必向你施行審判,我必將你所剩下的分散四方。」
11 Therefore, [as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “Because you have defiled My sanctuary With all your detestable things, And with all your abominations, Therefore I also diminish you, And My eye does not pity, and I do not spare.
主耶和華說:「我指着我的永生起誓,因你用一切可憎的物、可厭的事玷污了我的聖所,故此,我定要使你人數減少,我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你。
12 Your third part dies by pestilence, And are consumed by famine in your midst, And the third part fall by sword around you, And the third part I scatter to every wind, And I draw out a sword after them.
你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死,在你中間必因饑荒消滅;三分之一必在你四圍倒在刀下;我必將三分之一分散四方,並要拔刀追趕他們。
13 And My anger has been completed, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, YHWH, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
「我要這樣成就怒中所定的;我向他們發的忿怒止息了,自己就得着安慰。我在他們身上成就怒中所定的那時,他們就知道我-耶和華所說的是出於熱心;
14 And I give you for a ruin, And for a reproach among nations that [are] around you, Before the eyes of everyone passing by.
並且我必使你在四圍的列國中,在經過的眾人眼前,成了荒涼和羞辱。
15 And it has been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] around you, In My doing judgments in you, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, YHWH, have spoken.
這樣,我必以怒氣和忿怒,並烈怒的責備,向你施行審判。那時,你就在四圍的列國中成為羞辱、譏刺、警戒、驚駭。這是我-耶和華說的。
16 In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And I am adding famine on you, And I have broken your staff of bread.
那時,我要將滅人、使人饑荒的惡箭,就是射去滅人的,射在你們身上,並要加增你們的饑荒,斷絕你們所倚靠的糧食;
17 And I have sent famine and evil beasts on you, And they have bereaved you, And pestilence and blood pass over on you, And I bring a sword in against you, I, YHWH, have spoken!”
又要使饑荒和惡獸到你那裏,叫你喪子,瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那裏;我也要使刀劍臨到你。這是我-耶和華說的。」
