< Ezekiel 5 >
1 And you O son of humankind take yourself - a sword sharp razor of barbers you will take it yourself and you will make [it] pass over head your and over beard your and you will take yourself scales of weight and you will divide them.
「人子,你拿一把快刀,當理髮的剃刀用,剃去你的頭髮和鬍鬚,然後拿一個天平,分開那些鬚髮。
2 A third [part] in the fire you will burn in [the] midst of the city when are completed [the] days of the siege and you will take third [part] you will strike [it] with the sword around it and third [part] you will disperse to the wind and a sword I will draw after them.
等被困的日子一滿,把三分之一在城內用火燒掉;再拿三分之一在城四周用劍擊砍;其他三分之一,要揚在風中,我要拔出劍來追趕他們。
3 And you will take from there a few in number and you will confine them in skirts your.
但你要從鬍鬚中取出幾根來,繫在你的衣服邊上,
4 And some of them again you will take and you will throw them into [the] middle of the fire and you will burn them in the fire from it it will go out a fire to all [the] house of Israel.
再從其中取出幾根投入火中,讓火燒掉;然後你向以色列全家說:
5 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh this [is] Jerusalem in [the] middle of the nations I have set it and [are] around it lands.
吾主上主這樣說:這就是耶路撒冷! 我將她安置在萬民之中,使萬國環繞著她;
6 And it has rebelled against judgments my to wickedness more than the nations and statutes my more than the lands which [are] around it for judgments my they have rejected and statutes my not they have walked in them.
但是她違背了我的法令,作惡甚於異民,違背我的法律甚於環繞她的列國,因為她們輕視了我的法令,沒有照我的法律行事。
7 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh because tumult your [is] more than the nations which [are] around you in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have observed and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you not you have done.
為此,吾主上主這樣說:因為你們比環繞你們的異民更為叛逆,沒有照我的法律行事;沒有遵行我的法令,也沒有按照環繞你們異民的法律行事;
8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you also I and I will bring about in [the] midst of you judgments to [the] eyes of the nations.
因此吾主上主這樣說:看,我要親自對付你;在你中間,在異民眼前實行懲罰。
9 And I will bring about in you [that] which not I have brought about and [that] which not I will do like it again because of all abominations your.
為了你的一切醜惡,我要對你實習未曾實行過的,將來也不會實行的事;
10 Therefore parents they will eat children in [the] midst of you and children they will eat parents their and I will bring about on you judgments and I will disperse all [the] rest of you to every wind.
在你境內,為父的要吃自己的兒子,為子的要吃自己的父親。我必如此在你境內實行懲罰,且把遺民分散到四方。
11 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not because sanctuary my you have made unclean by all detestable things your and by all abominations your and also I I will shave [you] and not it will look with compassion eye my and also I not I will show pity.
為此我指著我的生命起誓說:──吾主上主的斷語──因為你用你的一切可憎和可惡之物玷污了我的聖所,我必將你剷除,我的眼決不憐視,一點也不憐惜。
12 third [part] of You by pestilence they will die and by famine they will come to an end in [the] midst of you and third [part] by the sword they will fall around you and third [part] to every wind I will disperse and a sword I will draw after them.
你三分之一的人民要在你境內死於瘟疫,亡於饑荒;另三分之一,在你四周各地喪身刀下;其他三分之一,我要分散到各地。我且拔出劍來追趕他們。
13 And it will be spent anger my and I will give rest to rage my on them and I will gain relief and they will know that I Yahweh I have spoken in jealousy my when complete I rage my on them.
這樣,我的忿怒纔可以發洩,我的怒火在他們身上纔會平息,得到了報復;當我的憤怒在他們身上發洩時,他們要承認我,上主,在妒火中講了話。
14 And I will make you into a ruin and into a reproach among the nations which [are] around you to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.
我要使你成為荒野,使你在環繞你的異民前,和所有的過客前,成為辱罵的對象。
15 And it will be a reproach and a taunt a warning and a horror to the nations which [are] around you when bring about I on you judgments in anger and in rage and with rebukes of rage I Yahweh I have spoken.
當我大發憤怒,以嚴厲的懲罰在你身上施行裁判時,你就成為環繞你的異民凌辱、恥笑、警戒和警駭的對象:這是我上主說的。
16 When shoot I [the] arrows of famine harmful on them which they will be for destruction which I will shoot them to destroy you and famine I will increase on you and I will break of you staff of bread.
當我向你們射出饑荒的毒箭──射出毀滅的箭,毀滅你們時──我必使饑荒在你們境內更加嚴重,斷絕你們的糧源。
17 And I will send on you famine and animal[s] wild and they will make childless you and pestilence and blood it will pass in you and sword I will bring on you I Yahweh I have spoken.
我必使饑荒和猛獸危害你們,掠去你們的子女,並使瘟疫和血案在你境內盛行,還有刀兵來打擊你:這是我上主說的。」
