Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
人子，你應開庭裁判這座流人血的城，叫她知道自己的醜惡。
3 You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
你應說：吾主上主這樣說：那流人血，使時辰迫近，製造偶像，自染不潔的城，是有禍的!
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
因你傾流人血，自負血債；因你製造偶像，自染不潔，致使你的日子已近，你的年限已到；為此，我要使你成為萬民所侮辱，萬邦所恥笑的對象。
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。
6 “‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。
7 In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
在你中間有人輕視父母，在你中間有人壓迫外方人，在你中間也有人欺壓孤兒寡婦。
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.
在你中間有人誹謗，好傾流人血。在你中間有人到山上吃祭物，在你中間有人行淫亂。
10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
在你中間有人揭開父親的下體，在你中間有人玷污行經不潔的婦女。
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
在你中間有人同鄰人的妻子行醜惡之事，有人姦污自己的兒媳，有人玷辱自己的姊妹，即父親的女兒。
12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.
在你中間有人接受賄賂，以傾流人血。你收息金，放重利，用強力剝削你的近人，而你竟忘了我──吾主上主的斷語──
13 “‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
看，對對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
在我與你算賬的那天，難道你的心還能忍受，你的手還能堅強﹖我，上主言出必行。
15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
我要將你驅逐在異民中，將你散佈在各地，消除你的污穢。
16 You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
以後在異民眼前，我必再使你做我的產業：如此你要承認我是上主。」
17 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
人子，以色列家族對我好像是渣滓，他們成了爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鋁，他們都成了銀渣。
19 Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
因此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們都成了渣滓，為此，看，我必將你們聚集在耶路撒冷，
20 As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
就如把銀、銅、鐵、鉛和錫聚集在煉爐中，在上面吹火，使它們鎔化；照樣，我也要把你們聚集在我的怒火和憤恨中，將你們拋在裏面鎔化。
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
我要聚集你們，在你們身上吹起我的怒火，使你們鎔化在耶路撒冷；
22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
就像銀子在煉爐中鎔化，你們也照樣在城中鎔化：如此，你們就承認我是上主，是我在你們身上發洩了怒火。」
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
24 “Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
人子，你應對此城說：你是一塊在震怒之日無雨無水之地。
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
城中的王侯像司裂獵物的吼獅，他們吞噬人民，搶奪財物和珍寶，增加了城中的寡婦。
26 Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them.
城中司祭違犯我的法律，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖與俗，不辨明潔與不潔，且掩目不顧我的安息日，致使我在他們中蒙受褻瀆。
27 Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
城中的首長像撕裂獵物的豺狼，傾流人血，殺害人命，以圖謀不義之財。
28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
城中的先知還為他們掩飾罪過，所見的都是假異象，所說的都是欺詐的預言。他們說：吾主上主這樣說，其實上主並沒有說。
29 The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
本地的人民蠻橫強暴，劫奪搶掠，欺壓窮苦貧困的人，迫害外方人，無法無天。
30 “I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
我在他們中找尋一個能修理城牆的人，能在我面前為保護本地，站在缺口處，免得我去破壞那地方的人；但我沒找到一個。
31 Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord GOD.
為此，我向他們發洩我的怒氣，用我的怒火消滅他們，把他們的行為報復在他們頭上──吾主上主的斷語。
