Ezekiel 7
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “And you, son of man, Thus said Lord YHWH to the ground of Israel:
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 An end, the end has come on the four corners of the land.
人子，你要說：吾主上主這樣對以色列地域說：結局到了，大地四極的結局到了。
3 Now [is] the end for you, And I have sent My anger on you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.
現今你的結局已到：我要向你發洩我的憤怒，按你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
4 And My eye has no pity on you, nor do I spare, For I set your ways against you, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
我的眼決不憐視你，一點也不顧惜你；反之，我必按照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間；這樣，你們必承認我是上主。
5 Thus said Lord YHWH: Calamity, a single calamity, behold, it has come.
吾主上主這樣說：「看，災禍，那唯一的災禍來了。
6 An end has come, the end has come, It has awoken for you, behold, it has come.
結局到了，那對付你的結局到了，看，已來到目前。
7 The circlet has come to you, O inhabitant of the land! The time has come, a day of trouble [is] near, And not the shouting of mountains.
當地的居民啊! 惡運已臨於你，時辰已到，恐怖的日子已近，山上再聽不到歡呼的聲音。
8 Now shortly I pour out My fury on you, And have completed My anger against you, And judged you according to your ways, And set all your abominations against you.
現今我就快要向你發洩我的憤怒，在你身上盡洩我的怒火，要按照你的行為裁判你，按照你所有的醜行報復你。
9 And My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, I give to you according to your ways, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that [it is] I, YHWH, striking.
我的眼決不憐視，一點也不顧惜；反之，我要照你的行為報復你，使你的醜惡彰顯在你中間：這樣你們必承認我是施罰的天主。」 「
10 Behold, the day, behold, it has come, The circlet has gone forth, The rod has blossomed, the pride has flourished.
看，那日子確已來到，惡運已定，暴行開花，傲慢發芽。
11 The violence has risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them.
殘暴興起，成為作惡的權杖；他們中將一無所存，他們的財富沒有了，豪華不見了，光榮一無所留。
12 The time has come, the day has arrived, The buyer does not rejoice, And the seller does not become a mourner, For wrath [is] to all its multitude.
時辰到了，日子近了；買主不要歡樂，賣主也不要憂愁，因為怒火要降在一切財富上。
13 For the seller does not turn to the sold thing, And yet their life [is] among the living, For the vision [is] to all its multitude, It does not turn back, And none strengthens his life by his iniquity.
賣主雖還活著，但不得再贖回他所賣的，因為懲罰一降在一切民眾身上，誰也不能再挽回。無人在罪惡中能保全生命。
14 They have blown with a horn to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] to all its multitude.
你們吹喇叭，將一切準備便當；但無人出征上陣，因為我的怒火要降在所有人民身上。
15 The sword [is] outside, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field dies by sword, And he who is in a city—Famine and pestilence devour him.
外有刀兵，內有瘟疫饑荒；凡在鄉間的，要喪身刀下；在城中的，要死於瘟疫饑荒。
16 And their fugitives have escaped away, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them making a noise—each for his iniquity.
那些僥倖逃亡的，到了山中，必像谷中哀鳴的鴿子，各人悲泣自己的罪惡。
17 All the hands are feeble, and all knees go [as] waters.
人人雙手疲憊無力，雙膝軟弱如水，
18 And they have girded on sackcloth, And trembling has covered them, And shame [is] on all faces, And baldness on all their heads.
身穿苦衣，都為恐怖所籠罩；每人面帶羞慚，頭頂完全剃光。
19 They cast their silver into out-places, And their gold becomes impurity. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of YHWH, They do not satisfy their soul, And they do not fill their bowels, For it has been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
他們將自己的銀子丟在街頭，金子為他們成了污穢之物；他們的金銀，在上主發怒之日，不能拯救他們；金銀不能使他們充饑，不能填滿他們的肚腹，因為金銀是他們犯罪的絆腳石。
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, He set it for excellence, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things—they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,
他們既然把自己華麗的裝飾品作為誇耀的東西，做成醜惡的偶像和怪物；
21 And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have defiled it.
所以我要使偶像成為他們的不潔之物，我要把它交於外邦人手中作勝利品，給本地匪徒作為掠物，而予以褻瀆。
22 And I have turned My face from them, And they have defiled My hidden place, Indeed, destroyers have come into it, and defiled it.
我要轉面不看他們，讓外人褻瀆我的寶藏，讓野人侵入而加以褻瀆，
23 Make the chain; for the land Has been full of bloody judgments, And the city has been full of violence.
並用來製造鎖鏈；因為此地充滿了血債，城中充滿了殘暴。
24 And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused the excellence of the strong to cease, And those sanctifying them have been defiled.
為此，我必叫最兇惡的異民來佔據他們的房舍，消滅他們傲慢的勢力，並使他們的聖所受到褻瀆。
25 Destruction has come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.
當恐怖來臨時，他們尋求救援，卻沒有救援。
26 Disaster comes on disaster, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law perishes from [the] priest, And counsel from [the] elderly,
禍上加禍，噩耗接踵而來；那時人向先知要求異像，卻毫無所得；司祭失去了教言，長老沒有了主意，
27 The king becomes a mourner, And a prince puts on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, I deal with them from their own way, And I judge them with their own judgments, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
君王失聲痛哭，王侯驚惶失措，當地居民的手顫動無力。我必按他們的行為向他們報復，照他們的功過裁判他們：這樣，他們必要承認我是天主。」
