< Ezekiel 9 >

1 And He crieth in mine ears — a loud voice — saying, 'Drawn near have inspectors of the city, and each his destroying weapon in his hand.'
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, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the brazen altar.
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 honour of the God of Israel hath gone up from off the cherub, on which it hath been, unto the threshold of the house.
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 He calleth unto the man who is clothed with linen, who hath the scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and thou hast made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.'
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 to the others he said in mine ears, 'Pass on into the city after him, and smite; your eye doth not pity, nor do ye spare;
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 aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, ye do slay — to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the mark ye do not go nigh, and from My sanctuary ye begin.'
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 they begin among the aged men who [are] before the house, and He saith unto them, 'Defile the house, and fill the courts with the wounded, go forth.' And they have gone forth and have smitten in the city.
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 it cometh to pass, as they are smiting, and I — I am left — that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, art Thou destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Thy pouring out Thy wrath 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 saith unto me, 'The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] very very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.
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 And I also, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare; their way on their own head I have put.'
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 clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, 'I have done as Thou hast commanded 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。”
