< Ezekiel 14 >

1 And he came to me men from [the] elders of Israel and they sat down before me.
有些以色列的長老來見我,坐在我面前。
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
那時上主的話傳給我說:「
3 O son of humankind the men these they have brought up idols their on heart their and [the] stumbling block of iniquity their they have put before faces their ¿ really will I let myself be consulted by them.
人子,這些人心中供著他們自己的邪神,在自己面前放著犯罪的絆腳石,我豈能讓他們來求問﹖
4 Therefore speak with them and you will say to them thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh a person a person from [the] house of Israel who he will bring up idols his to heart his and [the] stumbling block of iniquity his he will put before face his and he will go to the prophet I Yahweh I will let myself give an answer to him (he came *Q(K)*) by [the] multitude of idols his.
為此,你要告訴他們,對他們說:吾主上主這樣說:以色列家族中的任何人,或心中仍供著自己的神,在自己面前仍放著犯罪的絆腳石,而來求見先知,我上主必按照他偶像的數目親自答覆他,
5 So as to capture [the] house of Israel by heart their who they have become estranged from with me by idols their all of them.
為能打動以色列家族的心,因為他們為了所有的偶像疏遠了我。
6 Therefore say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh turn back and turn away from with idols your and from with all abominations your turn away faces your.
為此,你應對以色列家族說:吾主上主這樣說:回頭罷! 離開你們的偶像,放棄你們所有的醜惡!
7 For a person a person from [the] house of Israel and from the sojourner who he sojourns in Israel so he may separate himself from after me and he will bring up idols his to heart his and [the] stumbling block of iniquity his he will put before face his and he will go to the prophet to consult to him me I Yahweh [will] let myself give an answer to him by myself.
以色列家族中任何人,甚或在以色列中僑居的外國人,如果疏遠了我,把自己的邪神供在心中,把犯罪的絆腳石放在自己面前,而敢來見先知求問我,我上主必親自答覆他。
8 And I will set face my on the person that and I will make him into a sign and into bywords and I will cut off him from among people my and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
我必正面打擊這樣的人,使他成為一種警戒和笑柄,把他由人民中剷除:如此,你們必承認我是上主。
9 And the prophet if he will be deceived and he will speak a word I Yahweh I have deceived the prophet that and I will stretch out hand my on him and I will destroy him from among people my Israel.
若一個先知受騙而發言,這是我上主哄騙了那先知;我要伸手打擊他,從我人民以色列中間把他消滅。
10 And they will bear iniquity their as [the] iniquity of the enquirer as [the] iniquity of the prophet it will be.
求問者與先知的罪一樣,都應負咎。
11 So that not they will wander again [the] house of Israel from after me and not they will make themselves unclean again by all transgressions their and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
如此,以色列家族不再遠離我而走入迷途,不再受任何罪惡的玷污;他們要作我的人民,我要作他們的天主:這是吾主上主的斷語。」
12 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
上主的話傳給我說:「
13 O son of humankind a land if it will sin to me by acting unfaithfully unfaithfulness and I will stretch out hand my on it and I will break of it staff of bread and I will send on it famine and I will cut off from it humankind and animal[s].
人子,若某地背信違約,犯罪得罪我,我必伸手打擊她,斷絕她的糧源,使饑荒降到那地,把人和獸從那地剷除。
14 And they will be [the] three the men these in [the] midst of it Noah (Daniel *Q(K)*) and Job they by righteousness their they will deliver own life their [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
縱然在那裏有諾厄、達尼爾和約伯三個人,這三個人也只能為了自己的義德救自己──吾主上主的斷語──
15 If animal[s] wild I will cause to pass in the land and it will make childless it and it will be a desolation because not [one who] passes by because of the animal[s].
或者我使猛獸橫行那地,滅絕人跡,使那地變為荒野,由於猛獸而沒人敢經過。
16 [the] three The men these [will be] in [the] midst of it [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if sons and if daughters they will deliver they to alone them they will be delivered and the land it will be a desolation.
縱然在那裏有這三個人,我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──他們也不能救自己的子女,只能救自己,那地方必變為荒蕪。
17 Or a sword I will bring on the land that and I will say a sword let it pass in the land and I will cut off from it humankind and animal[s].
或者我使刀兵來到那地,且吩咐說:刀兵應橫行那地,剷除那裏的人和獸類!
18 And [the] three the men these [will be] in [the] midst of it [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh not they will deliver sons and daughters for they to alone them they will be delivered.
縱然在那裏有這三個人,我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──他們也不能救自己的子女,而只能救自己。
19 Or pestilence I will send against the land that and I will pour out rage my on it by blood to cut off from it humankind and animal[s].
或者使那地發生瘟疫,以屠殺發洩我的憤怒,好從那裏滅絕人和獸類,
20 And Noah (Daniel *Q(K)*) and Job [will be] in [the] midst of it [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if a son if a daughter they will deliver they by righteousness their they will deliver own life their.
縱然諾厄、達尼爾和約伯也在那裏,我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──他們連一子一女也救不出,只能因自己的義德救自己。
21 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh indeed? if [the] four judgments my - harmful sword and famine and animal[s] wild and pestilence I will send against Jerusalem to cut off from it humankind and animal[s].
因為吾主上主這樣說:我雖然使刀兵、饑荒、猛獸、瘟疫四大災難降在耶路撒冷,為滅絕那裏的人和獸類;
22 And there! it will be left in it an escaped remnant about to be led out sons and daughters there they [are] about to come out to you and you will see conduct their and practices their and you will be comforted on the calamity which I have brought on Jerusalem all that I have brought on it.
但是那裏還有幸免的人,領著子女逃出。看,他們要到你們這裏來,使你們看見他們的行為和動作,而對我加於耶路撒冷的災難和我對她所行的一切,獲得寬慰。
23 And they will comfort you if you will see conduct their and practices their and you will know that not without cause I have done all that I have done in it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
當你們看見他們的行為和動作時,你們必能獲得安慰:這樣你們必然知道:我在耶路撒冷行了所行的一切,並非無因──吾主上主的斷語。」
