< Ezekiel 14 >

1 And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.
有几个以色列长老到我这里来,坐在我面前。
2 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
耶和华的话就临到我说:
3 'Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I 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, speak with them, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet — I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance 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 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols — all of them.
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 unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back your faces,
“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 of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for 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 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
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 'And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word — I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed 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 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
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 so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
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 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
13 'Son of man, the land — when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, and cut off from it man and beast —
“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 and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job — they by their righteousness deliver their own soul — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast —
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 these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
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 — a sword I bring in against that land, and I have said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have cut off from it man and beast —
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 and these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — they deliver not sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
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 — pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it 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 and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
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 thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments — sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence — I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and beast,
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, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
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 And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done all that which I have done in her — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
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。”
