< Ezekiel 9 >
1 And he criede in myn eeris with greet vois, and seide, The visityngis of the citee han neiyed, and ech man hath in his hond an instrument of sleyng.
他向我耳中大声喊叫说:“要使那监管这城的人手中各拿灭命的兵器前来。”
2 And lo! sixe men camen fro the weie of the hiyere yate, that biholdith to the north, and the instrument of deth of ech man was in his hond; also o man in the myddis of hem was clothid with lynnun clothis, and a pennere of a writere at hise reynes; and thei entriden, and stoden bisidis the brasun auter.
忽然有六个人从朝北的上门而来,各人手拿杀人的兵器;内中有一人身穿细麻衣,腰间带着墨盒子。他们进来,站在铜祭坛旁。
3 And the glorie of the Lord of Israel was takun vp fro cherub, which glorie was on it, to the threisfold of the hous; and the Lord clepide the man that was clothid with lynun clothis, and hadde a pennere of a writere in hise leendis.
以色列 神的荣耀本在基路伯上,现今从那里升到殿的门槛。 神将那身穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人召来。
4 And the Lord seide to hym, Passe thou bi the myddis of the citee, in the myddis of Jerusalem, and marke thou Thau on the forhedis of men weilynge and sorewynge on alle abhomynaciouns that ben doon in the myddis therof.
耶和华对他说:“你去走遍耶路撒冷全城,那些因城中所行可憎之事叹息哀哭的人,画记号在额上。”
5 And he seide to hem in myn heryng, Go ye thorouy the citee, and sue ye hym, and smytte ye; youre iye spare not, nether do ye merci.
我耳中听见他对其余的人说:“要跟随他走遍全城,以行击杀。你们的眼不要顾惜,也不要可怜他们。
6 Sle ye til to deth, an eld man, a yong man, and a virgyn, a litil child, and wymmen; but sle ye not ony man, on whom ye seen Thau; and bigynne ye at my seyntuarie. Therfore thei bigunnen at the eldere men, that weren bifore the face of the hous.
要将年老的、年少的,并处女、婴孩,和妇女,从圣所起全都杀尽,只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他。”于是他们从殿前的长老杀起。
7 And he seide to hem, Defoule ye the hous, and fille ye the hallis with slayn men; go ye out. And thei yeden out, and killiden hem that weren in the citee.
他对他们说:“要污秽这殿,使院中充满被杀的人。你们出去吧!”他们就出去,在城中击杀。
8 And lo! whanne the sleyng was fillid, Y was left. And Y felle doun on my face, and Y criede, and seide, Alas! alas! alas! Lord God, therfor whether thou schalt leese alle remenauntis of Israel, and schalt schede out thi stronge veniaunce on Jerusalem?
他们击杀的时候,我被留下,我就俯伏在地,说:“哎!主耶和华啊,你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷,岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝吗?”
9 And he seide to me, The wickidnesse of the hous of Israel and of Juda is ful greet, and the lond is fillid of bloodis, and the citee is fillid with turnyng awei; for thei seiden, The Lord hath forsake the lond, and the Lord seeth not.
他对我说:“以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大。遍地有流血的事,满城有冤屈,因为他们说:‘耶和华已经离弃这地,他看不见我们。’
10 Therfor and myn iye schal not spare, nether Y schal do merci; Y schal yelde the weie of hem on the heed of hem.
故此,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们,要照他们所行的报应在他们头上。”
11 And lo! the man that was clothid in lynun clothis, that hadde a pennere in his bak, answeride a word, and seide, Y haue do, as thou comaundidist to me.
那穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人将这事回复说:“我已经照你所吩咐的行了。”
