< Ezekiel 25 >
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them:
人子,你面向阿孟子民,講預言攻擊他們,
3 and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:
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 will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy 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 will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
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 saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land 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 mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
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 saith the Lord GOD: Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto 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 will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-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 unto the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon, and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the 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 will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
我要向摩阿布施行懲罰:如此,他們必承認我是上主。」
12 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon 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 saith the Lord GOD, I will stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it: and I will make it desolate from Teman; even unto Dedan shall they fall by the 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 will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
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 saith the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy it with perpetual 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 saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
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 I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon 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。」
