以西結書 22
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Moreover the LORD’s word 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。
“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you 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。
You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that 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。
You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you 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 who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you 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 princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you 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 you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you 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。
You 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 you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.
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 you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they 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。
One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you 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 you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.
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 struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
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 your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, 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。
I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
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。」
You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
17 耶和華的話臨到我說：
The LORD’s word 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 bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle 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, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on 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。
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle 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 middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
23 耶和華的話臨到我說：
The LORD’s word 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, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on 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 of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
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, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So 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 princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and 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。
Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD 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. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner 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。
“I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
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 on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord GOD.
