< Ezekiel 35 >

1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
人子,你要面向色依爾山,講預言攻斥它,
3 and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
對它說:吾主上主這樣說:色依爾山啊! 看,我要攻擊你,伸手打擊你,使你變成沙漠和荒野。
4 I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
我要使你的城市變成廢墟,你將成為沙漠:如此,你便承認我是上主。
5 “‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
因為在以色列子民遭難時,在他們罪惡滿盈時,你懷著永不忘的仇恨將他們交於刀劍:
6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
為此,我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你既仇恨了血,血也必迫害你。
7 Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
我必使色依爾山成為沙漠和荒野,由其中滅絕來往經過的人。
8 I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
我要使你的群山、丘陵、山谷和溪澗,堆滿傷亡的人,使刀劍傷亡的人橫臥其中。
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
我要使你永久變為荒蕪,你的城邑再沒有人居住:如此,你們便承認我是上主。
10 “‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
因為你說過:這兩個民族,這兩個地域應屬於我,雖然雅威住在那裏,我還要去佔領;
11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
為此,我指著我的生命起誓,──吾主上主的斷語──就如你怎樣懷著仇恨對待他們,同樣我也必以怒火和妒恨來對待你;當我懲罰你時,我叫你知道我在他們中,
12 You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
並要你知道,我上主聽見了你向以色列的群山所講的一切詛咒的話,說:它們已荒蕪了,已交給我們享用。
13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
當你們開口說大話攻斥我,說出許多凌辱我的話時,我都聽見了。
14 The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
吾主上主這樣說:當全地歡躍時,我要使你荒蕪,
15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
就如在以色列家的產業荒蕪時,你曾喜樂;同樣,我也要這樣對待你;色依爾山必變成荒野,全厄東必被消滅:如此,人必承認我是上主。」
