< Ezekiel 6 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
耶和華的話臨到我說:
2 “You human, turn toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy [what will happen to] them, and say,
「人子啊,你要面向以色列的眾山說預言,
3 ‘You mountains and hills of Israel [APO], listen to what Yahweh the Lord says to you: “I am about to [enemy soldiers with] swords to come and destroy [the shrines on] your hilltops.
說:以色列的眾山哪,要聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華對大山、小岡、水溝、山谷如此說:我必使刀劍臨到你們,也必毀滅你們的邱壇。
4 They will smash all the [for worshiping idols] and the altars for burning incense. And they will [many Israeli] people in front of those idols.
你們的祭壇必然荒涼,你們的日像必被打碎。我要使你們被殺的人倒在你們的偶像面前;
5 Their corpses will lie in front of their idols, and their bones will be scattered around their altars.
我也要將以色列人的屍首放在他們的偶像面前,將你們的骸骨拋散在你們祭壇的四圍。
6 Wherever the Israelis live, their towns will be ruined, and the shrines where they worship idols will be smashed. Their altars will be completely smashed [DOU], their idols will be completely smashed [DOU], and everything that they own will become a pile of ruins.
在你們一切的住處,城邑要變為荒場,邱壇必然淒涼,使你們的祭壇荒廢,將你們的偶像打碎。你們的日像被砍倒,你們的工作被毀滅。
7 Many of their people will be killed; and then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].
被殺的人必倒在你們中間,你們就知道我是耶和華。
8 But I will allow some of the Israelis to remain alive. They will escape being killed when their enemies scatter them among many other nations.
「你們分散在各國的時候,我必在列邦中使你們有剩下脫離刀劍的人。
9 When that happens, in those nations to which they have been forced to go, those who have escaped from being killed will think about me. They will remember that I was very grieved because of their turning away from me [IDM] with their inner beings, and because they very much desired [IDM] to worship their idols. They will (hate/be very displeased with) themselves because of the evil and detestable things that they have done.
那脫離刀劍的人必在所擄到的各國中記念我,為他們心中何等傷破,是因他們起淫心,遠離我,眼對偶像行邪淫。他們因行一切可憎的惡事,必厭惡自己。
10 [they will realize that] I, Yahweh, [have punished them. They will realize that] when I threatened to punish them, I surely intended [LIT] to do that.
他們必知道我是耶和華;我說要使這災禍臨到他們身上,並非空話。
11 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to you, Ezekiel]: ‘Wring your hands and stamp your feet and cry [to show that you are distressed], and [about what will happen to] your Israeli people [MTY] because of all their wicked and detestable behavior. They will be killed [their enemies’] swords, they will die from hunger, and they will die from plagues.
「主耶和華如此說:你當拍手頓足,說:哀哉!以色列家行這一切可憎的惡事,他們必倒在刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫之下。
12 Those who are far [from Jerusalem] will die from plagues, those who are close [to Jerusalem] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are still alive will die from hunger. That is how I will punish [MTY] them.
在遠處的,必遭瘟疫而死;在近處的,必倒在刀劍之下;那存留被圍困的,必因饑荒而死;我必這樣在他們身上成就我怒中所定的。
13 [Some of] your people’s corpses will lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hilltop and on all the mountaintops, under every big tree [DOU]—at all the places where they burned incense [honor] their idols. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
他們被殺的人倒在他們祭壇四圍的偶像中,就是各高岡、各山頂、各青翠樹下、各茂密的橡樹下,乃是他們獻馨香的祭牲給一切偶像的地方。那時,他們就知道我是耶和華。
14 And I will stretch out my arm and cause your entire country to become an empty wasteland, from the [in the far south] to [town in the far north]. Then they will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
我必伸手攻擊他們,使他們的地從曠野到第伯拉他一切住處極其荒涼,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
