Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
「人子啊，你要面向西珥山發預言，攻擊它，
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，主耶和華如此說：西珥山哪，我與你為敵，必向你伸手攻擊你，使你荒涼，令人驚駭。
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].
我必使你的城邑變為荒場，成為淒涼。你就知道我是耶和華。
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].
因為你永懷仇恨，在以色列人遭災、罪孽到了盡頭的時候，將他們交與刀劍，
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;
所以主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，我必使你遭遇流血的報應，罪必追趕你；你既不恨惡殺人流血，所以這罪必追趕你。
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
我必使西珥山荒涼，令人驚駭，來往經過的人我必剪除。
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.
我必使西珥山滿有被殺的人。被刀殺的，必倒在你小山和山谷，並一切的溪水中。
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].
我必使你永遠荒涼，使你的城邑無人居住，你的民就知道我是耶和華。
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].
「因為你曾說：『這二國這二邦必歸於我，我必得為業』（其實耶和華仍在那裏），
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.
所以主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，我必照你的怒氣和你從仇恨中向他們所發的嫉妒待你。我審判你的時候，必將自己顯明在他們中間。
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].
你也必知道我－耶和華聽見了你的一切毀謗，就是你攻擊以色列山的話，說：『這些山荒涼，是歸我們吞滅的。』
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
你們也用口向我誇大，增添與我反對的話，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.
主耶和華如此說：全地歡樂的時候，我必使你荒涼。
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].’”
你怎樣因以色列家的地業荒涼而喜樂，我必照你所行的待你。西珥山哪，你和以東全地必都荒涼。你們就知道我是耶和華。」
