< Ezekiel 28 >
1 [Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
2 “You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
「人子啊,你對泰爾君王說,主耶和華如此說: 因你心裏高傲,說:我是神; 我在海中坐神之位。 你雖然居心自比神, 也不過是人,並不是神!
3 [You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
看哪,你比但以理更有智慧, 甚麼祕事都不能向你隱藏。
4 By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
你靠自己的智慧聰明得了金銀財寶, 收入庫中。
5 [Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
你靠自己的大智慧和貿易增添資財, 又因資財心裏高傲。
6 Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
所以主耶和華如此說: 因你居心自比神,
7 I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
我必使外邦人, 就是列國中的強暴人臨到你這裏; 他們必拔刀砍壞你用智慧得來的美物, 褻瀆你的榮光。
8 They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
他們必使你下坑; 你必死在海中, 與被殺的人一樣。
9 Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
在殺你的人面前你還能說「我是神」嗎? 其實你在殺害你的人手中, 不過是人,並不是神。
10 You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
你必死在外邦人手中, 與未受割禮的人一樣, 因為這是主耶和華說的。」
11 Yahweh also gave me this message:
耶和華的話臨到我說:
12 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
「人子啊,你為泰爾王作起哀歌,說主耶和華如此說: 你無所不備, 智慧充足,全然美麗。
13 You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
你曾在伊甸上帝的園中, 佩戴各樣寶石, 就是紅寶石、紅璧璽、金鋼石、 水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉、 藍寶石、綠寶石、紅玉,和黃金; 又有精美的鼓笛在你那裏, 都是在你受造之日預備齊全的。
14 I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
你是那受膏遮掩約櫃的基路伯; 我將你安置在上帝的聖山上; 你在發光如火的寶石中間往來。
15 You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
你從受造之日所行的都完全, 後來在你中間又察出不義。
16 [Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
因你貿易很多, 就被強暴的事充滿,以致犯罪, 所以我因你褻瀆聖地, 就從上帝的山驅逐你。 遮掩約櫃的基路伯啊, 我已將你從發光如火的寶石中除滅。
17 You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
你因美麗心中高傲, 又因榮光敗壞智慧, 我已將你摔倒在地, 使你倒在君王面前, 好叫他們目睹眼見。
18 By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
你因罪孽眾多, 貿易不公, 就褻瀆你那裏的聖所。 故此,我使火從你中間發出,燒滅你, 使你在所有觀看的人眼前變為地上的爐灰。
19 All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
各國民中,凡認識你的, 都必為你驚奇。 你令人驚恐, 不再存留於世,直到永遠。」
20 [Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
耶和華的話臨到我說:
21 “You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
「人子啊,你要向西頓預言攻擊她,
22 Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
說主耶和華如此說: 西頓哪,我與你為敵, 我必在你中間得榮耀。 我在你中間施行審判、顯為聖的時候, 人就知道我是耶和華。
23 I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
我必使瘟疫進入西頓, 使血流在她街上。 被殺的必在其中仆倒, 四圍有刀劍臨到她, 人就知道我是耶和華。」
24 No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
「四圍恨惡以色列家的人,必不再向他們作刺人的荊棘,傷人的蒺藜,人就知道我是主耶和華。」
25 And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
主耶和華如此說:「我將分散在萬民中的以色列家招聚回來,向他們在列邦人眼前顯為聖的時候,他們就在我賜給我僕人雅各之地,仍然居住。
26 My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
他們要在這地上安然居住。我向四圍恨惡他們的眾人施行審判以後,他們要蓋造房屋,栽種葡萄園,安然居住,就知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝。」
