< Ezekiel 7 >
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
2 "You, son of man, say, 'Thus says the LORD to the land of Israel: An end has come. The end has come on the four quarters of the land.
「人子啊,主耶和華對以色列地如此說:結局到了,結局到了地的四境!
3 Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
現在你的結局已經臨到,我必使我的怒氣歸與你,也必按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
4 My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,卻要按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道我是耶和華。
5 "Thus says the LORD: 'A disaster, a unique disaster; look, it comes.
「主耶和華如此說:有一災,獨有一災;看哪,臨近了!
6 An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; look, it comes.
結局來了,結局來了,向你興起。看哪,來到了!
7 Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
境內的居民哪,所定的災臨到你,時候到了,日子近了,乃是鬨嚷並非在山上歡呼的日子。
8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
我快要將我的忿怒傾在你身上,向你成就我怒中所定的,按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
9 My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, the LORD, do strike.
我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,必按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道擊打你的是我耶和華。
10 Look, the day, look, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.'
「看哪,看哪,日子快到了;所定的災已經發出!杖已經開花,驕傲已經發芽。
11 "Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.
強暴興起,成了罰惡的杖。以色列人,或是他們的群眾,或是他們的財寶,無一存留;他們中間也沒有得尊榮的。
12 The time has come, the day draws near: do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
時候到了,日子近了,買主不可歡喜,賣主不可愁煩,因為烈怒已經臨到他們眾人身上。
13 For the buyer shall not return to the seller while they live. For the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
賣主雖然存活,卻不能歸回再得所賣的,因為這異象關乎他們眾人。誰都不得歸回,也沒有人在他的罪孽中堅立自己。」
14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
「他們已經吹角,預備齊全,卻無一人出戰,因為我的烈怒臨到他們眾人身上。
15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
在外有刀劍;在內有瘟疫、饑荒。在田野的,必遭刀劍而死;在城中的,必有饑荒、瘟疫吞滅他。
16 But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
其中所逃脫的就必逃脫,各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲,好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
手都發軟,膝弱如水。
18 They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
要用麻布束腰,被戰兢所蓋;各人臉上羞愧,頭上光禿。
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
他們要將銀子拋在街上,金子看如污穢之物。當耶和華發怒的日子,他們的金銀不能救他們,不能使心裏知足,也不能使肚腹飽滿,因為這金銀作了他們罪孽的絆腳石。
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things. Therefore I will render it an unclean thing to them.
論到耶和華妝飾華美的殿,他建立得威嚴,他們卻在其中製造可憎可厭的偶像,所以這殿我使他們看如污穢之物。
21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
我必將這殿交付外邦人為掠物,交付地上的惡人為擄物;他們也必褻瀆這殿。
22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
我必轉臉不顧以色列人,他們褻瀆我隱密之所,強盜也必進去褻瀆。
23 "Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
「要製造鎖鍊;因為這地遍滿流血的罪,城邑充滿強暴的事。
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
所以,我必使列國中最惡的人來佔據他們的房屋;我必使強暴人的驕傲止息,他們的聖所都要被褻瀆。
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
毀滅臨近了;他們要求平安,卻無平安可得。
26 Disaster shall come upon disaster, and rumor shall follow rumor; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the cohen, and counsel from the elders.
災害加上災害,風聲接連風聲;他們必向先知求異象,但祭司講的律法、長老設的謀略都必斷絕。
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
君要悲哀,王要披淒涼為衣,國民的手都發顫。我必照他們的行為待他們,按他們應得的審判他們,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
