以西結書 5
1 「人子啊，你要拿一把快刀，當作剃頭刀，用這刀剃你的頭髮和你的鬍鬚，用天平將鬚髮平分。
“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.
2 圍困城的日子滿了，你要將三分之一在城中用火焚燒，將三分之一在城的四圍用刀砍碎，將三分之一任風吹散；我也要拔刀追趕。
Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.
3 你要從其中取幾根包在衣襟裏，
But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.
4 再從這幾根中取些扔在火中焚燒，從裏面必有火出來燒入以色列全家。
Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”
5 主耶和華如此說：這就是耶路撒冷。我曾將她安置在列邦之中；列國都在她的四圍。
The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.
6 她行惡，違背我的典章，過於列國；干犯我的律例，過於四圍的列邦，因為她棄掉我的典章。至於我的律例，她並沒有遵行。
But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”
7 所以主耶和華如此說：因為你們紛爭過於四圍的列國，也不遵行我的律例，不謹守我的典章，並以遵從四圍列國的惡規尚不滿意，
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”
8 所以主耶和華如此說：看哪，我與你反對，必在列國的眼前，在你中間，施行審判；
therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.
9 並且因你一切可憎的事，我要在你中間行我所未曾行的，以後我也不再照着行。
I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.
10 在你中間父親要吃兒子，兒子要吃父親。我必向你施行審判，我必將你所剩下的分散四方。」
Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.
11 主耶和華說：「我指着我的永生起誓，因你用一切可憎的物、可厭的事玷污了我的聖所，故此，我定要使你人數減少，我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你。
Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.
12 你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死，在你中間必因饑荒消滅；三分之一必在你四圍倒在刀下；我必將三分之一分散四方，並要拔刀追趕他們。
A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.
13 「我要這樣成就怒中所定的；我向他們發的忿怒止息了，自己就得着安慰。我在他們身上成就怒中所定的那時，他們就知道我－耶和華所說的是出於熱心；
Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.
14 並且我必使你在四圍的列國中，在經過的眾人眼前，成了荒涼和羞辱。
I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.
15 這樣，我必以怒氣和忿怒，並烈怒的責備，向你施行審判。那時，你就在四圍的列國中成為羞辱、譏刺、警戒、驚駭。這是我－耶和華說的。
So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!
16 那時，我要將滅人、使人饑荒的惡箭，就是射去滅人的，射在你們身上，並要加增你們的饑荒，斷絕你們所倚靠的糧食；
I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.
17 又要使饑荒和惡獸到你那裏，叫你喪子，瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那裏；我也要使刀劍臨到你。這是我－耶和華說的。」
I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
