Ezekiel |
| 1上主的話傳給我說： |
1Thus the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2「人子，你面向阿孟子民，講預言攻擊他們， |
2Son of man, turn toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them. |
| 3向阿孟子民說：你們聽吾主上主的話！吾主上主這樣說：因為你譏笑我的聖殿說：『哈哈！聖殿可受了褻瀆！』對以色列地域說：『它可荒蕪了！』對猶大家族說：『他們可被擄去了！』 |
3Say to the Ammonites: Hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD: Because you cried out your joy over the desecration of my sanctuary, the devastation of the land of Israel, and the exile of the house of Judah, |
| 4為此，看，我要將你交給東方的子民作為產業，他們要在你那裏設立自己的帳幕，在那裏定居，吃你的果實，喝你的奶。 |
4 therefore I will deliver you into the possession of the Easterners. They shall set up their encampments among you and pitch their tents; they shall eat your fruits and drink your milk. |
| 5我要使辣巴成為牧放駱駝之地，使阿孟人的地方成為羊棧；如此，你們必承認我是上主。 |
5I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the villages of the Ammonites a resting place for flocks. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 6因為吾主上主這樣說：因為你們對以色列地方所遭受的一切，曾手舞足蹈，滿心喜歡； |
6For thus says the Lord GOD: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing most maliciously in your heart over the land of Israel, |
| 7因此，看，我要伸手打擊你，將你交給異族作為掠物；我要從人民中剷除你，由各國中消滅你；我要使你滅絕；如此，你必承認我是上主。」 |
7therefore I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you plunder for the nations, I will cut you off from the peoples, and remove you from the lands. I will destroy you, and thus you shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 8吾主上主這樣說：「因為摩阿布【和色依爾】說：看，猶大家族與所有異民並無不同！ |
8Thus says the Lord GOD: Because Moab said, "See! the house of Judah is like all other nations," |
| 9為此，看，我要暴露摩阿布的山區，以及她邊垂的城池，暴露她全國的精華，如貝特耶史摩特，巴耳默紅和克黎雅塔殷。 |
9 therefore I will clear the shoulder of Moab totally of its cities, the jewels of the land: Beth-jesimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim. |
| 10我要將他們同阿孟子民一起交給東方的子民作為產業，使他們在異民中再不被人提及。 |
10I will hand her over, along with the Ammonites, into the possession of the Easterners, that she may not be remembered among the peoples. |
| 11我要向摩阿布施行懲罰：如此，他們必承認我是上主。」 |
11Thus I will execute judgment upon Moab, that they may know that I am the LORD. |
| 12吾主上主這樣說：「因為厄東曾對猶大家族復仇雪恥，因對他們復仇而犯了重罪； |
12Thus says the Lord GOD: Because Edom has taken vengeance on the house of Judah and has made itself grievously guilty by taking vengeance on them, |
| 13為此，吾主上主這樣說：我要伸手打擊厄東，將人與走獸由境內剷除，使她成為曠野，從特曼到德丹的人都要死於刀下。 |
13therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. I will make it a waste from Teman to Dedan; they shall fall by the sword. |
| 14我要藉我的百姓以色列的手替我報復厄東，他們要按我的怒氣和憤恨對待厄東，如此他們便知道這是我的報復──吾主上主的斷語。」 |
14My vengeance upon Edom I will entrust to my people Israel, who will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my fury; thus they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord GOD. |
| 15吾主上主這樣說：「因為培肋舍特人以極殘忍的報復心來施行報復，為了他們的世仇，企圖消滅以色列； |
15Thus says the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines have acted revengefully, and have taken vengeance with destructive malice in their hearts, with an undying enmity, |
| 16為此吾主上主這樣說：我要伸手打擊培肋舍特人，剷除革勒提人，毀滅殘留在海濱的人。 |
16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD: See! I am stretching out my hand against the Philistines; I will cut off the Cherethites and wipe out the remnant on the seacoast. |
| 17我要在他們身上以盛怒的懲罰施行嚴厲的報復；當我在他們身上施行報復時，他們便承認我是上主。」 |
17I will execute great acts of vengeance on them, punishing them furiously. Thus they shall know that I am the LORD, when I wreak my vengeance on them. |
