Ezekiel:Chapter 22

厄則克耳	Ezekiel
¹上主的話傳給我說：	¹The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms,
²「人子，你應開庭裁判這座流人血的城，叫她知道自己的醜惡。	²"Son of man, will you judge them? Will you judge the city of blood? Charge her with all her detestable practices.
³你應說：吾主上主這樣說：那流人血，使時辰迫近，製造偶像，自染不潔的城，是有禍的！	³Say: This is Yahweh's word: City of bloodshed, your hour has come. You who made your own idols to defile yourself, you are nearing your last days, the end of your years has come.
⁴因你傾流人血，自負血債；因你製造偶像，自染不潔，致使你的日子已近，你的年限已到；為此，我要使你成為萬民所侮辱，萬邦所恥笑的對象。	⁴That is why I am making you an object of horror for the nations and a laughing-stock for every country.
⁵那離你近，離你遠的，都要恥笑你為一惡名多亂的城。	⁵Those both near and far will mock you, for your name is defiled and you are full of tumult.
⁶看，以色列的首領，在你中間各逞其能，傾流人的血。	⁶The leaders of Israel, each according to his strength, have one intent - to shed blood.
⁷在你中間有人輕視父母，在你中間有人壓迫外方人，在你中間也有人欺壓孤兒寡婦。	⁷In you, Israel, father and mother are treated with contempt, in you the alien is oppressed, the fatherless and the widow are wronged.
⁸你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。	⁸You have despised my holy things and profaned my sabbaths.
⁹在你中間有人誹謗，好傾流人血。在你中間有人到山上吃祭物，在你中間有人行淫亂。	⁹In you, men slander to shed blood; in you, they go to eat on the hill sanctuaries and act shamefully.
¹⁰在你中間有人揭開父親的下體，在你中間有人玷污行經不潔的婦女。	¹⁰In you are those who defile their father's bed, in you are those who violate women when they are unclean.
¹¹在你中間有人同鄰人的妻子行醜惡之事，有人姦污自己的兒媳，有人玷辱自己的姊妹，即父親的女兒。	¹¹One man commits a detestable offense with his neighbor's wife, another shamefully dishonors his daughter-in-law, another violates his own sister, his father's daughter.
¹²在你中間有人接受賄賂，以傾流人血。你收息金，放重利，用強力剝削你的近人，而你竟忘了我──吾主上主的斷語──	¹²In you, men accept bribes to shed blood. You exact interest and usury and you rob and exploit your neighbor, and you have forgotten me. It is Yahweh who speaks.
¹³看，對你所放的重利，對在你中間所流的血債，我要鼓掌。	¹³See, I will clap my hands at your dishonest profit, and the blood you have shed. Will your courage hold out, will your hands be steady when I shall come against you?
¹⁴在我與你算賬的那天，難道你的心還能忍受，你的手還能堅強？我，上主言出必行。	¹⁴I, Yahweh, have spoken and I will act accordingly.
¹⁵我要將你驅逐在異民中，將你散布在各地，消除你的污穢。	¹⁵I will scatter you among the nations, I will disperse you in other countries to rid you of your uncleanness.
¹⁶以後在異民眼前，我必再使你做我的產業：如此你要承認我是上主。」	¹⁶Then you will be dishonored in the eyes of the nations and you will know that I am Yahweh."
¹⁷上主的話傳給我說：	¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms,
¹⁸「人子，以色列家族對我好像是渣滓，他們成了爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鋁，他們都成了銀渣。	¹⁸"Israel has become for me like dross; some were like silver, bronze, tin, iron and lead; but in the furnace only dross is left.
¹⁹因此吾主上主這樣說：因為你們都成了渣滓，為此，看，我必將你們聚集在耶路撒冷，	¹⁹The Lord Yahweh has spoken: This is how I am gathering you together in Jerusalem.
²⁰如把銀、銅、鐵、鉛和錫聚集在煉爐中，在上面吹火，使它們鎔化；照樣，我也要把你們聚集在我的怒火和憤恨中，將你們拋在裏面鎔化。	²⁰As they place silver, bronze, iron, lead and tin in the fires of a furnace to be smelted, so in my anger will I assemble you, put you in the furnace and smelt you.
²¹我要聚集你們，在你們身上吹起我的怒火，使你們鎔化在耶路撒冷；	²¹I will gather you in Jerusalem, stir up the fire of my wrath and smelt you in it.
²²就像銀子在煉爐中鎔化，你們也照樣在城中鎔化：如此，你們就承認我是上主，是我在你們身上發洩了怒火。」	²²As silver is smelted in the furnace so will you be smelted and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my fiery wrath against you."
²³上主的話傳給我說：	²³The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms,
²⁴「人子，你應對此城說：你是一塊在震怒之日無雨無水之地。	²⁴"Son of man, say to Jerusalem: You are a land without rain, a land without a shower on a day of wrath,
²⁵城中的王侯像撕裂獵物的吼獅，他們吞噬人民，搶奪財物和珍寶，增加了城中的寡婦。	²⁵a land where the princes have been like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour people; they take treasures and precious objects and increase the number of widows.
²⁶城中司祭違犯我的法律，褻瀆我的聖物，不分別聖與俗，不辨明潔與不潔，且掩目不顧我的安息日，致使我在他們中蒙受褻瀆。	²⁶Your priests have broken my laws and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between what is holy and what is common; they have not taught what difference there is between the clean and the unclean. They have ignored my sabbath and I have been dishonored by them.
²⁷城中的首長像撕裂獵物的豺狼，傾流人血，殺害人命，以圖謀不義之財。	²⁷The officials of the city are like wolves who tear their prey, shedding blood and killing people for unjust gain.
²⁸城中的先知還為他們掩飾罪過，所見的都是假異象，所說的都是欺詐的預言。他們說：吾主上主這樣說，其實上主並沒有說。	²⁸As for the prophets, they whitewash everything by means of false visions and lying predictions, saying: 'Yahweh has spoken' when Yahweh has not spoken.
²⁹本地的人民蠻橫強暴，劫奪搶掠，欺壓窮苦貧困的人，迫害外方人，無法無天。	²⁹The lords of the land have practiced extortion and robbery, oppressing the poor and needy, molesting the alien and denying him justice.
³⁰我在他們中找尋一個能修理城牆的人，能在我面前為保護本地，站在缺口處，免得我去破壞那地方的人；但我沒找到一個。	³⁰I looked for a man among them to build a wall and stand on the breach to protect the land lest I destroy it, but I found none.
³¹為此，我向他們發洩我的怒氣，用我的怒火消滅他們，把他們的行為報復在他們頭上──吾主上主的斷語。」	³¹So I have poured out my wrath against them; I have destroyed them in the heat of my fury bringing down on their heads all they have done - it is Yahweh who speaks."
