Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
人子，你要面向色依爾山，講預言攻斥它，
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
對它說：吾主上主這樣說：色依爾山啊! 看，我要攻擊你，伸手打擊你，使你變成沙漠和荒野。
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我要使你的城市變成廢墟，你將成為沙漠：如此，你便承認我是上主。
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
因為在以色列子民遭難時，在他們罪惡滿盈時，你懷著永不忘的仇恨將他們交於刀劍：
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
為此，我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你既仇恨了血，血也必迫害你。
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
我必使色依爾山成為沙漠和荒野，由其中滅絕來往經過的人。
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
我要使你的群山、丘陵、山谷和溪澗，堆滿傷亡的人，使刀劍傷亡的人橫臥其中。
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我要使你永久變為荒蕪，你的城邑再沒有人居住：如此，你們便承認我是上主。
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
因為你說過：這兩個民族，這兩個地域應屬於我，雖然雅威住在那裏，我還要去佔領；
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
為此，我指著我的生命起誓，──吾主上主的斷語──就如你怎樣懷著仇恨對待他們，同樣我也必以怒火和妒恨來對待你；當我懲罰你時，我叫你知道我在他們中，
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
並要你知道，我上主聽見了你向以色列的群山所講的一切詛咒的話，說：它們已荒蕪了，已交給我們享用。
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
當你們開口說大話攻斥我，說出許多凌辱我的話時，我都聽見了。
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
吾主上主這樣說：當全地歡躍時，我要使你荒蕪，
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
就如在以色列家的產業荒蕪時，你曾喜樂；同樣，我也要這樣對待你；色依爾山必變成荒野，全厄東必被消滅：如此，人必承認我是上主。」
