< 以西結書 6 >

1 耶和華的話臨到我說:
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊,你要面向以色列的眾山說預言,
“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them.
3 說:以色列的眾山哪,要聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華對大山、小岡、水溝、山谷如此說:我必使刀劍臨到你們,也必毀滅你們的邱壇。
Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and to the hills, to the streambeds, and to the valleys: Behold! I am bringing a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 你們的祭壇必然荒涼,你們的日像必被打碎。我要使你們被殺的人倒在你們的偶像面前;
Then your altars will become desolate and your pillars will be destroyed, and I will throw down your dead in front of their idols.
5 我也要將以色列人的屍首放在他們的偶像面前,將你們的骸骨拋散在你們祭壇的四圍。
I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and scatter your bones around your altars.
6 在你們一切的住處,城邑要變為荒場,邱壇必然淒涼,使你們的祭壇荒廢,將你們的偶像打碎。你們的日像被砍倒,你們的工作被毀滅。
Everywhere you live, cities will be laid waste and the high places ruined, so that your altars will be laid waste and made desolate. Then they will be broken and disappear, your pillars will be cut down and your works will be wiped away.
7 被殺的人必倒在你們中間,你們就知道我是耶和華。
The dead will fall down in your midst and you will know that I am Yahweh.
8 「你們分散在各國的時候,我必在列邦中使你們有剩下脫離刀劍的人。
But I will preserve a remnant among you, and there will be some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered throughout the countries.
9 那脫離刀劍的人必在所擄到的各國中記念我,為他們心中何等傷破,是因他們起淫心,遠離我,眼對偶像行邪淫。他們因行一切可憎的惡事,必厭惡自己。
Then those who escape will think of me among the nations where they will be held captive, that I was grieved by their promiscuous heart that turned away from me, and by their eyes that whored after their idols. Then they will show loathing on their face for the wickedness which they have committed with all their abominations.
10 他們必知道我是耶和華;我說要使這災禍臨到他們身上,並非空話。
So they will know that I am Yahweh. It was for a reason that I said I would bring this evil to them.
11 「主耶和華如此說:你當拍手頓足,說:哀哉!以色列家行這一切可憎的惡事,他們必倒在刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫之下。
The Lord Yahweh says this: Clap your hands and stomp your foot! Say, 'Alas!' because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they will fall by sword, famine, and plague.
12 在遠處的,必遭瘟疫而死;在近處的,必倒在刀劍之下;那存留被圍困的,必因饑荒而死;我必這樣在他們身上成就我怒中所定的。
The one far away will die by plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword. Those who remain and survive will die by famine. In this way I will accomplish my fury against them.
13 他們被殺的人倒在他們祭壇四圍的偶像中,就是各高岡、各山頂、各青翠樹下、各茂密的橡樹下,乃是他們獻馨香的祭牲給一切偶像的地方。那時,他們就知道我是耶和華。
Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when their dead lie among their idols, around their altars, on every high hill—on all the mountain peaks, and under every flourishing tree and thick oak—the places where they burned incense to all their idols.
14 我必伸手攻擊他們,使他們的地從曠野到第伯拉他一切住處極其荒涼,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
I will strike with my hand and make the land desolate and a waste, from the wilderness to Diblah, throughout all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
