Ezekiel 7
1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2 “You, son of man—the Lord Yahweh says this to the land of Israel.” 'An end! An end has come to the four borders of the land.
「人子啊，主耶和華對以色列地如此說：結局到了，結局到了地的四境！
3 Now the end is upon you, for I am sending out my wrath on you, and I will judge you according to your ways; then I will bring all your abominations upon you.
現在你的結局已經臨到，我必使我的怒氣歸與你，也必按你的行為審判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
4 For my eyes will not pity you, and I will not spare you. Instead, I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst, so you will know that I am Yahweh.
我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你，卻要按你所行的報應你，照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道我是耶和華。
5 The Lord Yahweh says this: Disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it is coming.
「主耶和華如此說：有一災，獨有一災；看哪，臨近了！
6 An end is surely coming. The end has woken up against you. Behold, it is coming!
結局來了，結局來了，向你興起。看哪，來到了！
7 Your doom is coming to you who inhabit the land. The time has come; the day of destruction is near, and the mountains will no longer be joyful.
境內的居民哪，所定的災臨到你，時候到了，日子近了，乃是鬨嚷並非在山上歡呼的日子。
8 Now before long I will pour out my fury against you and fill up my wrath upon you when I judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.
我快要將我的忿怒傾在你身上，向你成就我怒中所定的，按你的行為審判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。
9 For my eye will not look compassionately, and I will not spare you. As you have done, I will do to you; and your abominations will be in your midst so you will know that I am Yahweh, the one punishing you.
我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你，必按你所行的報應你，照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道擊打你的是我耶和華。
10 Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Doom has gone out! The rod has blossomed, arrogance has budded!
「看哪，看哪，日子快到了；所定的災已經發出！杖已經開花，驕傲已經發芽。
11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness— none of them, and none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and none of their importance will last!
強暴興起，成了罰惡的杖。以色列人，或是他們的群眾，或是他們的財寶，無一存留；他們中間也沒有得尊榮的。
12 The time is coming; the day has come close. Do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, since my anger is on the entire multitude!
時候到了，日子近了，買主不可歡喜，賣主不可愁煩，因為烈怒已經臨到他們眾人身上。
13 For the seller will not return to the land he sold as long as they both live, because the vision concerning the entire multitude will not be reversed; and because of their sins, none of them will be strengthened!
賣主雖然存活，卻不能歸回再得所賣的，因為這異象關乎他們眾人。誰都不得歸回，也沒有人在他的罪孽中堅立自己。」
14 They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but there is no one marching to battle; since my anger is on the entire multitude.
「他們已經吹角，預備齊全，卻無一人出戰，因為我的烈怒臨到他們眾人身上。
15 The sword is on the outside, and plague and famine are inside the building. Those who are in the field will die by the sword, while famine and plague will consume those in the city.
在外有刀劍；在內有瘟疫、饑荒。在田野的，必遭刀劍而死；在城中的，必有饑荒、瘟疫吞滅他。
16 But some survivors will escape from among them, and they will go to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, all of them will moan—each man for his iniquity.
其中所逃脫的就必逃脫，各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲，好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。
17 Every hand will falter and every knee will be weak as water,
手都發軟，膝弱如水。
18 and they will wear sackcloth, and terror will cover them; and shame will be on every face, and baldness on all of their heads.
要用麻布束腰，被戰兢所蓋；各人臉上羞愧，頭上光禿。
19 They will throw their silver into the streets and their gold will be like refuse. Their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them in the day of Yahweh's rage. Their lives will not be saved, and their hunger will not be satisfied, because their iniquity has become a stumbling block.
他們要將銀子拋在街上，金子看如污穢之物。當耶和華發怒的日子，他們的金銀不能救他們，不能使心裏知足，也不能使肚腹飽滿，因為這金銀作了他們罪孽的絆腳石。
20 In their pride they took the beauty of his jeweled ornaments, and with them they made their idolatrous figures, and their detestable things. Therefore, I am turning these into an unclean thing to them.
論到耶和華妝飾華美的殿，他建立得威嚴，他們卻在其中製造可憎可厭的偶像，所以這殿我使他們看如污穢之物。
21 Then I will give those things into the hand of strangers as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as plunder, and they will defile them.
我必將這殿交付外邦人為掠物，交付地上的惡人為擄物；他們也必褻瀆這殿。
22 Then I will turn my face away from them when they defile my cherished place; bandits will enter it and defile it.
我必轉臉不顧以色列人，他們褻瀆我隱密之所，強盜也必進去褻瀆。
23 Make a chain, because the land is filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of violence.
「要製造鎖鍊；因為這地遍滿流血的罪，城邑充滿強暴的事。
24 So I will bring the most wicked of the nations, and they will possess their houses, and I will bring an end to the pride of the mighty, for their holy places will be defiled!
所以，我必使列國中最惡的人來佔據他們的房屋；我必使強暴人的驕傲止息，他們的聖所都要被褻瀆。
25 Fear will come! They will seek peace, but there will be none.
毀滅臨近了；他們要求平安，卻無平安可得。
26 Disaster upon disaster will come, and there will be rumor after rumor. Then they will seek a vision from the prophet, but the law will perish from the priest and advice from the elders.
災害加上災害，風聲接連風聲；他們必向先知求異象，但祭司講的律法、長老設的謀略都必斷絕。
27 The king will mourn and the prince will dress in despair, while the hands of the people of the land will tremble in fear. According to their own ways I will do this to them! I will judge them with their own standards until they know that I am Yahweh.'”
君要悲哀，王要披淒涼為衣，國民的手都發顫。我必照他們的行為待他們，按他們應得的審判他們，他們就知道我是耶和華。」
