< Ezekiel 14 >

1 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
有几个以色列长老到我这里来,坐在我面前。
2 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话就临到我说:
3 “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts and have put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their own faces. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
“人子啊,这些人已将他们的假神接到心里,把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前,我岂能丝毫被他们求问吗?
4 Therefore announce this to them and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, or who puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and who then comes to a prophet—I, Yahweh, will answer him according to the number of his idols.
所以你要告诉他们:‘主耶和华如此说:以色列家的人中,凡将他的假神接到心里,把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前,又就了先知来的,我—耶和华在他所求的事上,必按他众多的假神回答他,
5 I will do this so that I may take back the house of Israel in their hearts that have been driven far from me through their idols.'
好在以色列家的心事上捉住他们,因为他们都借着假神与我生疏。’
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Repent and turn away from your idols! Turn back your faces from all your abominations.
“所以你要告诉以色列家说:‘主耶和华如此说:回头吧!离开你们的偶像,转脸莫从你们一切可憎的事。’
7 For every one from the house of Israel and every one of the foreigners staying in Israel who deserts me, who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his own face, and who then comes to a prophet to seek me—I, Yahweh, will answer him myself.
因为以色列家的人,或在以色列中寄居的外人,凡与我隔绝,将他的假神接到心里,把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前,又就了先知来要为自己的事求问我的,我—耶和华必亲自回答他。
8 So I will set my face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, for I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必向那人变脸,使他作了警戒,笑谈,令人惊骇,并且我要将他从我民中剪除;你们就知道我是耶和华。
9 If a prophet is deceived and speaks a message, then I, Yahweh, will deceive that prophet; I will reach out with my hand against him and destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
先知若被迷惑说一句预言,是我—耶和华任那先知受迷惑,我也必向他伸手,将他从我民以色列中除灭。
10 They will carry their own iniquity; the iniquity of the prophet will be the same as the iniquity of the one who inquires from him.
他们必担当自己的罪孽。先知的罪孽和求问之人的罪孽都是一样,
11 Because of this, the house of Israel will no longer wander away from following me nor defile themselves any longer through all their transgressions. They will be my people, and I will be their God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
好使以色列家不再走迷离开我,不再因各样的罪过玷污自己,只要作我的子民,我作他们的 神。这是主耶和华说的。”
12 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a sin so that I reach out with my hand against it and break the staff of its bread, and send out over it a famine and cut off both man and beast from the land;
“人子啊,若有一国犯罪干犯我,我也向他伸手折断他们的杖,就是断绝他们的粮,使饥荒临到那地,将人与牲畜从其中剪除;
14 then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in the land's midst, they could only rescue their own lives by their righteousness—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
其中虽有挪亚、但以理、约伯这三人,他们只能因他们的义救自己的性命。这是主耶和华说的。
15 If I send evil beasts through the land and make it barren so that it becomes a wasteland where no man may pass through because of the beasts,
我若使恶兽经过糟践那地,使地荒凉,以致因这些兽,人都不得经过;
16 then even if these same three men were in it—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued, but the land would become a wasteland.
虽有这三人在其中,主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,他们连儿带女都不能得救,只能自己得救,那地仍然荒凉。
17 Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, 'Sword, go through the land and cut off both man and beast from it',
或者我使刀剑临到那地,说:刀剑哪,要经过那地,以致我将人与牲畜从其中剪除;
18 then even if these three men were in the midst of the land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued.
虽有这三人在其中,主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,他们连儿带女都不能得救,只能自己得救。
19 Or if I send a plague against this land and pour out my fury against it through bloodshed, in order to cut off both man and beast,
或者我叫瘟疫流行那地,使我灭命的忿怒倾在其上,好将人与牲畜从其中剪除;
20 then even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued by their righteousness.
虽有挪亚、但以理、约伯在其中,主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,他们连儿带女都不能救,只能因他们的义救自己的性命。”
21 For the Lord Yahweh says this: I will certainly make things worse by sending my four punishments—famine, sword, wild animals, and plague—against Jerusalem to cut off both man and beast from her.
主耶和华如此说:“我将这四样大灾—就是刀剑、饥荒、恶兽、瘟疫降在耶路撒冷,将人与牲畜从其中剪除,岂不更重吗?
22 Yet, behold! A remnant will be left in her, survivors who will go out with sons and daughters. Behold! They will go out to you, and you will see their ways and actions and be comforted concerning the punishment that I have sent to Jerusalem, and about everything else that I have sent against the land.
然而其中必有剩下的人,他们连儿带女必带到你们这里来,你们看见他们所行所为的,要因我降给耶路撒冷的一切灾祸,便得了安慰。
23 The survivors will comfort you when you see their ways and their actions, so you will know all these things I have done against her, that I have not done them in vain!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
你们看见他们所行所为的,得了安慰,就知道我在耶路撒冷中所行的并非无故。这是主耶和华说的。”
