< Ezekiel 6 >
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 mountains of Israel, and prophesy concerning them:
人子,你要面對以色列的群山,講預言攻斥他們,
3 And you have said, Mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys: Behold, I am bringing in a sword against you, And I have destroyed your high places.
說以色列的群山,請聽吾主上主的話:吾主上主這樣對高山、丘陵、山溪、山谷說:看,我要使刀兵臨於你們,蕩平你們的丘壇;
4 And your altars have been desolated, And your images have been broken, And I have caused your wounded to fall before your idols,
破壞你們的祭壇,打碎你們的太陽柱,並使你們被殺的人倒在你們的偶像之前。
5 And I have put the carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols, And I have scattered your bones around your altars.
我還要把以色列屍體放在他們的偶像前,把你們的骨頭散在你們的祭壇周圍。
6 In all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the high places are desolate, So that your altars are dry and desolate, Your idols have broken and ceased, And your images have been cut down, And your works have been blotted out.
在你們居住的地方,城池變為荒野,丘壇遭受破壞,為叫你們的祭壇也成為荒涼,變為廢墟,偶像被粉碎,被消滅,太陽柱被打碎,你們所製造的東西都剷除淨盡。
7 And the wounded has fallen in your midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
被殺的人橫臥在你們中間:如此你們要承認我是上主。」「
8 And I have caused [some] to remain, In their being for you the escaped of the sword among nations, In your being scattered through lands.
當我把你們分散到各國時,我還要把一些倖免於刀兵的人,殘留在異民中。
9 And your escaped have remembered Me among nations, To where they have been taken captive, Because I have been broken with their heart that is going whoring, That has turned aside from off Me, And with their eyes they are going whoring after their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces, For the evils that they have done—all their abominations.
你們被擄到異民中的遺民,必要想念我,因為我擊碎了他們好淫而背棄我的心,也擊碎了他們好淫而隨從偶像的眼睛,那時他們必要為了一切邪神所行的事而自怨自艾。
10 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, I have not spoken to do this evil to them for nothing.
如此,他們會承認,我上主說要對他們施行懲罰,並非空話。」
11 Thus said Lord YHWH: Strike with your palm, and stamp with your foot, And say: Aah! For all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, Which falls by sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
吾主上主這樣說:「我要拍手頓足地說:禍哉! 以色列家,因了一切醜惡的罪行,她必要亡於刀兵、饑荒和瘟疫:
12 The far-off dies by pestilence, And the near falls by sword, And the left and the besieged dies by famine, And I have completed My fury on them.
遠處的要死於瘟疫,近處的要喪身刀下,剩餘而被圍困的,要死於饑餓,我必要這樣對他們發洩我的怒火。
13 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In their wounded being in the midst of their idols, Around their altars, On every high hill, on all tops of mountains, And under every green tree, and under every thick oak, The place where they gave refreshing fragrance to all their idols.
幾時被殺的人橫臥在他們的祭壇四周,在他們的偶像中間,在各高山,各山頂,在各綠樹下,在密茂的樟樹下,即在他們給各偶像獻香的地方,那時,你們必承認我是上主。
14 And I have stretched out My hand against them, And have made the land a desolation, Even a desolation from the wilderness to Diblath, In all their dwellings, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
我要伸手打擊他們,凡他們所居之地,我要使田地變為沙漠和荒野,自曠野直到黎貝拉:這樣,他們必承認我是上主。」
