厄則克耳 Ezekiel
1上主的話傳給我說: 1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2「人子,你要斥責那些在以色列講預言的先知,向那些隨心所欲說預言的人說:你們應聽上主的話! 2Son of man, prophesy thou against the prophets of Israel that prophesy: and thou shalt say to them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3吾主上主這樣說:那些隨心所欲,而一無所見愚妄先知,是有禍的! 3Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and see nothing.
4以色列!你的先知好像廢墟中的狐狸。 4Thy prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.
5你們沒有上到缺口處,也沒有圍繞以色列家建築圍牆,好叫她在上主的日子,在戰爭中穩立。 5You have not gone up to face the enemy, nor have you set up a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of the Lord.
6他們所見的盡是空虛,所預言的盡是欺詐,反而說是『上主的斷語』;其實上主並沒有派遣他們,他們還指望自己的話能夠實現。 6They see vain things, and they foretell lies, saying: The Lord saith: whereas the Lord hath not sent them: and they have persisted to confirm what they have said.
7你們豈不是見了幻像,說了欺詐的預言,還說是『上主的斷語?』其實我並沒有說過。 7Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken.
8為此,吾主上主這樣說:因為你們說的是謊話,見的是幻像,我必攻斥你們──吾主上主的斷語── 8Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith the Lord God.
9我必伸手打擊那些見幻像,說欺詐預言的先知。他們決不得參加我人民的議會,不得登記在以色列家族的名冊上,也不得進入以色列地域:如此你們要承認我是上主。 9And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10因為他們迷惑我的人民說:『平安』;其實並沒有平安。人民築起牆來,看,他們就來墁泥。 10Because they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is no peace: and the people built up a wall, and they daubed it with dirt without straw.
11你要向墁泥的人說:我要使驟雨降下,冰雹落下,暴風颳來, 11Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be an overflowing shower, and I will cause great hailstones to fall violently from above, and a stormy wind to throw it down.
12那牆必要傾倒。那時,人豈不是要向你們說:你們所墁的泥在那裏呢? 12Behold, when the wall is fallen: shall it not be said to you: Where is the daubing wherewith you have daubed it?
13為此,吾主上主這樣說:在我憤怒時,我要使暴風颳來,在怒火中使驟雨降下,在憤怒時使冰雹降下,破壞一切。 13Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Lo, I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in my indignation, and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger: and great hailstones in my wrath to consume.
14我要摧毀你們墁過泥的牆,使它傾倒在地,基礎暴露;牆傾倒了,你們也要消失在其中:如此,你們要承認我是上主。 14And I will break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered mortar: and I will make it even with the ground, and the foundation thereof shall be laid bare: and it shall fall, and shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
15當我對那牆和在牆上墁泥的人發洩了我的憤怒,我要對你們說:牆沒有了,墁牆的人也不見了。 15And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that daub it without tempering the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and they that daub it are no more.
16這是指那些向耶路撒冷講預言的以色列的先知,他們說見過平安的異象;其實並沒有平安──吾主上主的斷語。 16Even the prophets of Israel that prophesy to Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her: and there is no peace, saith the Lord God.
17人子,你要轉面向那些隨心所欲,講預言的你百姓中的女先知,你要斥責她們。 17And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people that prophesy out of their own heart: and do thou prophesy against them,
18你宣講說:吾主上主這樣說:那些為手腕縫製各種帶子,照頭的大小製做各種頭巾,以獵取人命的女人,是有禍的!你們獵取了我百姓的性命,難道能挽救你們自己的性命? 18And say: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to them that sew cushions under every elbow: and make pillows for the heads of persons of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they gave life to their souls.
19你們竟為了一掬麥子,一塊餅,就在我百姓前褻瀆了我,使不應死的人死去,使不應活的人活着,以欺騙我那好聽信謊言的百姓。 19And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies.
20為此,吾主上主這樣說:看,我要把你們像捕鳥一樣獵取人命的帶子,從你們手腕上撕下,釋放你們所獵取的人,像釋放飛鳥; 20Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I declare against your cushions, wherewith you catch flying souls: and I will tear them off from your arms: and I will let go the souls that you catch, the souls that should fly.
21撕破你們的頭巾,由你們手中救出我的百姓;他們決不再做你們手中的獵物:如此,你們要承認我是上主。 21And I will tear your pillows, and will deliver my people out of your hand, neither shall they be any more in your hands to be a prey: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
22因為你們以謊言使義人的心沮喪;其實,我並沒有使義人悲哀;你們又鼓勵惡人,使他不肯離開罪惡的路,以求生存。 22Because with lies you have made the heart of the just to mourn, whom I have not made sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his evil way, and live.
23為此,你們不得再見幻像,不得再說預言;反之,我要從你們手中救出我的百姓:如此,你們必承認我是上主。」 23Therefore you shall not see vain things, nor divine divinations any more, and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
