以西結書
CH. 6
1
耶和華的話臨到我說、

The word of the LORD came to me:
2
人子阿、你要面向以色列的眾山說豫言、

"Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them
3
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。

and say: 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4
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。

Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.
5
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。

I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6
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。

Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out.
7
被殺的人必倒在你們中間.你們就知道我是耶和華。

Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8
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。

"'But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.
9
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。

Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me--how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.
10
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。

And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.
11
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、飢荒、瘟疫之下。

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out "Alas!" because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.
12
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、必因飢荒而死.我必這樣在他們身上成就我怒中所定的。

He that is far away will die of the plague, and he that is near will fall by the sword, and he that survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I spend my wrath upon them.
13
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。

And they will know that I am the LORD, when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak--places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.
14
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。

And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah--wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"
