Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
第九年十月初十日，耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 "Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
“人子啊，今日正是巴比伦王就近耶路撒冷的日子，你要将这日记下，
3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:
要向这悖逆之家设比喻说，主耶和华如此说： 将锅放在火上， 放好了，就倒水在其中；
4 gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
将肉块，就是一切肥美的肉块、腿， 和肩都聚在其中， 拿美好的骨头把锅装满；
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst."'
取羊群中最好的， 将柴堆在锅下， 使锅开滚， 好把骨头煮在其中。
6 "Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it.
“主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，就是长锈的锅。其中的锈未曾除掉，须要将肉块从其中一一取出来，不必为它拈阄。
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上，不倒在地上，用土掩盖。
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.'
这城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上，不得掩盖，乃是出于我，为要发忿怒施行报应。
9 "Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will make the pile great.
所以主耶和华如此说：祸哉！这流人血的城，我也必大堆火柴，
10 Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
添上木柴，使火着旺，将肉煮烂，把汤熬浓，使骨头烤焦；
11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
把锅倒空坐在炭火上，使锅烧热，使铜烧红，熔化其中的污秽，除净其上的锈。
12 She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by fire.
这锅劳碌疲乏，所长的大锈仍未除掉；这锈就是用火也不能除掉。
13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
在你污秽中有淫行，我洁净你，你却不洁净。你的污秽再不能洁净，直等我向你发的忿怒止息。
14 I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says Jehovah."
我—耶和华说过的必定成就，必照话而行，必不返回，必不顾惜，也不后悔。人必照你的举动行为审判你。这是主耶和华说的。”
15 Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
16 "Son of man, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
“人子啊，我要将你眼目所喜爱的忽然取去，你却不可悲哀哭泣，也不可流泪，
17 Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."
只可叹息，不可出声，不可办理丧事；头上仍勒裹头巾，脚上仍穿鞋，不可蒙着嘴唇，也不可吃吊丧的食物。”
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
于是我将这事早晨告诉百姓，晚上我的妻就死了。次日早晨我便遵命而行。
19 The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"
百姓问我说：“你这样行与我们有什么关系，你不告诉我们吗？”
20 Then I said to them, "The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
我回答他们：“耶和华的话临到我说：
21 'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says Jehovah: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.
‘你告诉以色列家，主耶和华如此说：我必使我的圣所，就是你们势力所夸耀、眼里所喜爱、心中所爱惜的被亵渎，并且你们所遗留的儿女必倒在刀下。
22 You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
那时，你们必行我仆人所行的，不蒙着嘴唇，也不吃吊丧的食物。
23 Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
你们仍要头上勒裹头巾，脚上穿鞋；不可悲哀哭泣。你们必因自己的罪孽相对叹息，渐渐消灭。
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am Jehovah."'"
以西结必这样为你们作预兆；凡他所行的，你们也必照样行。那事来到，你们就知道我是主耶和华。’
25 "You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
“人子啊，我除掉他们所倚靠、所欢喜的荣耀，并眼中所喜爱、心里所重看的儿女。
26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
那日逃脱的人岂不来到你这里，使你耳闻这事吗？
27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
你必向逃脱的人开口说话，不再哑口。你必这样为他们作预兆，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
