< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it cometh to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and elders of Judah are sitting before me, and fall on me there doth a hand of the Lord Jehovah,
第六年六月初五日,我坐在家中;犹大的众长老坐在我面前。在那里主耶和华的灵降在我身上。
2 and I look, and lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward — fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of copper.
我观看,见有形象仿佛火的形状,从他腰以下的形状有火,从他腰以上有光辉的形状,仿佛光耀的精金。
3 And He putteth forth a form of a hand, and taketh me by a lock of my head, and lift me up doth a spirit between the earth and the heavens, and it bringeth me in to Jerusalem in visions of God, unto the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where [is] the seat of the figure of jealousy that is making jealous,
他伸出仿佛一只手的样式,抓住我的一绺头发,灵就将我举到天地中间,在 神的异象中,带我到耶路撒冷朝北的内院门口,在那里有触动主怒偶像的坐位,就是惹动忌邪的。
4 and lo, there the honour of the God of Israel, as the appearance that I saw in the valley.
谁知,在那里有以色列 神的荣耀,形状与我在平原所见的一样。
5 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes the way of the north.' And I lift up mine eyes the way of the north, and lo, on the north of the gate of the altar this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.
神对我说:“人子啊,你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看,见祭坛门的北边,在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像;
6 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, art thou seeing what they are doing? the great abominations that the house of Israel are doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations.'
又对我说:“人子啊,以色列家所行的,就是在此行这大可憎的事,使我远离我的圣所,你看见了吗?你还要看见另有大可憎的事。”
7 And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall;
他领我到院门口。我观看,见墙上有个窟窿。
8 and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening.
他对我说:“人子啊,你要挖墙。”我一挖墙,见有一门。
9 And He saith to me, 'Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.'
他说:“你进去,看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。”
10 And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast — and all the Idols of the house of Israel — graved on the wall, all round about,
我进去一看,谁知,在四面墙上画着各样爬物和可憎的走兽,并以色列家一切的偶像。
11 and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel — and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst — are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.
在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立,沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中。各人手拿香炉,烟云的香气上腾。
12 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'
他对我说:“人子啊,以色列家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的,你看见了吗?他们常说:‘耶和华看不见我们;耶和华已经离弃这地。’”
13 And He saith unto me, 'Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.'
他又说:“你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事。”
14 And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the women are sitting weeping for Tammuz.
他领我到耶和华殿外院朝北的门口。谁知,在那里有妇女坐着,为搭模斯哭泣。
15 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? again thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.'
他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了吗?你还要看见比这更可憎的事。”
16 And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.
他又领我到耶和华殿的内院。谁知,在耶和华的殿门口、廊子和祭坛中间,约有二十五个人背向耶和华的殿,面向东方拜日头。
17 And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? hath it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they are putting forth the branch unto their nose!
他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了吗?犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小吗?他们在这地遍行强暴,再三惹我发怒,他们手拿枝条举向鼻前。
18 And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried in Mine ears — a loud voice — and I do not hear them.'
因此,我也要以忿怒行事,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们;他们虽向我耳中大声呼求,我还是不听。”
