以西結書 22
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要審問審問這流人血的城嗎？當使她知道她一切可憎的事。
And thou, son of man, will thou judge, will thou judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 你要說，主耶和華如此說：哎！這城有流人血的事在其中，叫她受報的日期來到，又做偶像玷污自己，陷害自己。
And thou shall say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and who makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 你因流了人的血，就為有罪；你做了偶像，就玷污自己，使你受報之日臨近，報應之年來到。所以我叫你受列國的凌辱和列邦的譏誚。
Thou have become guilty in thy blood that thou have shed, and are defiled in thine idols which thou have made. And thou have caused thy days to draw near, and have come even to thy years. Therefore I have made thee a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 你這名臭、多亂的城啊，那些離你近、離你遠的都必譏誚你。
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one, full of tumult.
6 「看哪，以色列的首領各逞其能，在你中間流人之血。
Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
7 在你中間有輕慢父母的，有欺壓寄居的，有虧負孤兒寡婦的。
In thee they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of thee they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression. In thee they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 你藐視了我的聖物，干犯了我的安息日。
Thou have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
9 在你中間有讒謗人、流人血的；有在山上吃過祭偶像之物的，有行淫亂的。
Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood, and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
10 在你中間有露繼母下體羞辱父親的，有玷辱月經不潔淨之婦人的。
In thee they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness. In thee they have humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 這人與鄰舍的妻行可憎的事；那人貪淫玷污兒婦；還有玷辱同父之姊妹的。
And one has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law, and another in thee has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 在你中間有為流人血受賄賂的；有向借錢的弟兄取利，向借糧的弟兄多要的。且因貪得無饜，欺壓鄰舍奪取財物，竟忘了我。這是主耶和華說的。
In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the lord Jehovah.
13 「看哪，我因你所得不義之財和你中間所流的血，就拍掌歎息。
Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou have made, and at thy blood which has been in the midst of thee.
14 到了我懲罰你的日子，你的心還能忍受嗎？你的手還能有力嗎？我－耶和華說了這話，就必照着行。
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 我必將你分散在列國，四散在列邦。我也必從你中間除掉你的污穢。
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
16 你必在列國人的眼前因自己所行的被褻瀆，你就知道我是耶和華。」
And thou shall be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
17 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18 「人子啊，以色列家在我看為渣滓。他們都是爐中的銅、錫、鐵、鉛，都是銀渣滓。
Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 所以主耶和華如此說：因你們都成為渣滓，我必聚集你們在耶路撒冷中。
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because ye have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem
20 人怎樣將銀、銅、鐵、鉛、錫聚在爐中，吹火鎔化；照樣，我也要發怒氣和忿怒，將你們聚集放在城中，鎔化你們。
as they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it. So I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21 我必聚集你們，把我烈怒的火吹在你們身上，你們就在其中鎔化。
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
22 銀子怎樣鎔化在爐中，你們也必照樣鎔化在城中，你們就知道我－耶和華是將忿怒倒在你們身上了。」
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so ye shall be melted in the midst of it. And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
24 「人子啊，你要對這地說：你是未得潔淨之地，在惱恨的日子也沒有雨下在你以上。
Son of man, say to her, Thou are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 其中的先知同謀背叛，如咆哮的獅子抓撕掠物。他們吞滅人民，搶奪財寶，使這地多有寡婦。
There is a conspiracy by her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
26 其中的祭司強解我的律法，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖的和俗的，也不使人分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的，又遮眼不顧我的安息日；我也在他們中間被褻慢。
Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 其中的首領彷彿豺狼抓撕掠物，殺人流血，傷害人命，要得不義之財。
Her rulers in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 其中的先知為百姓用未泡透的灰抹牆，就是為他們見虛假的異象，用謊詐的占卜，說：『主耶和華如此說』，其實耶和華沒有說。
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the lord Jehovah, when Jehovah has not spoken.
29 國內眾民一味地欺壓，慣行搶奪，虧負困苦窮乏的，背理欺壓寄居的。
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery. Yea, they have vexed the poor and needy man, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.
30 我在他們中間尋找一人重修牆垣，在我面前為這國站在破口防堵，使我不滅絕這國，卻找不着一個。
And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
31 所以我將惱恨倒在他們身上，用烈怒的火滅了他們，照他們所行的報應在他們頭上。這是主耶和華說的。」
Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way upon their heads, says the lord Jehovah.
