以西結書

第24章

1 第九年十月初十日,耶和華的話又臨到我說:

2 「人子啊,今日正是巴比倫王攻打[against]耶路撒冷的日子;你要將這日記下。

3 要向這叛逆之家設比喻說,主耶和華如此說:將鍋放在火上,放好了,就倒水在其中;

4 將肉塊,就是一切肥美的肉塊、腿,和肩都聚在其中,拿美好的骨頭把鍋裝滿;

5 取羊群中最好的,將柴[burn]在鍋下,使鍋開滾,好把骨頭煮在其中。

6 「主耶和華如此說:禍哉。這流人血的城,就是長有浮渣[scum is]的鍋。其中的浮渣[scum]未曾除掉,須要將肉塊從其中一一取出來;不必為它擲籤[lot]

7 城中所流的血倒在磐石的頂部[top of a rock]上,不倒在地上,用土掩蓋。

8 這城中所流的血倒在磐石的頂部[top of a rock]上,不得掩蓋,乃是出於我,為要發烈怒[fury]施行報應。

9 所以主耶和華如此說:禍哉。這流人血的城,我[will]堆作大火[pile for fire great]

10 添上木柴,使火著旺,將肉煮爛調香[spice it well],使骨頭烤焦;

11 把鍋倒空坐在炭火上,使鍋燒熱,使銅燒紅,熔化[molten]其中的污穢,除淨其上的浮渣[scum]

12 這鍋因虛謊[with lies]疲乏,所長的大浮渣[scum]仍未除掉;這浮渣[scum]就是用火也不能除掉。

13 在你污穢中有淫行;我[because]潔淨你,你卻不潔淨,你的污穢再不能潔淨,直等我向你發的烈怒臨到[fury to rest upon]

14 我─耶和華說過的必定成就,必照話而行,必不返回,必不顧惜,也不後悔。人必照你的舉動行為審判你。這是主耶和華說的。」

15 耶和華的話又臨到我說:

16 「人子啊,你看[behold],我要將你眼目所喜愛的忽然取去,你卻不可悲哀哭泣,也不可流淚,

17 不要哀號[Forbear to cry],不可辦理喪事;頭上仍勒裹頭巾,腳上仍穿鞋,不可蒙著嘴唇,也不可吃弔喪的食物。」

18 於是我將這事早晨告訴百姓,晚上我的妻就死了。次日早晨我便遵命而行。

19 百姓問我說:「你這樣行與我們有甚麼關係,你不告訴我們嗎?」

20 我回答他們:「耶和華的話臨到我說:

21 『你告訴以色列家,主耶和華如此說:看哪[Behold],我必使我的聖所,就是你們力量的威榮[excellency of your strength]、眼裏所喜愛、心中所愛惜的被褻瀆,並且你們所[left]的兒女必倒在刀下。

22 那時,你們必行我僕人所行的,不蒙著嘴唇,也不吃弔喪的食物。

23 你們仍要頭上勒裹頭巾,腳上穿鞋;不可悲哀哭泣。你們必因自己的罪孽相對歎息,漸漸消滅。

24 以西結必這樣為你們作預兆;凡他所行的,你們也必照樣行。那事來到,你們就知道我是主耶和華。』

25 「人子啊,我除掉他們的力氣[their strength]、所歡喜的榮耀,並眼中所喜愛的[the desire of their eyes]、心裏所重看的,和他們的兒女[their sons and their daughters]

26 那日逃脫的人豈不來到你這裏,使你耳聞這事嗎?

27 你必向逃脫的人開口說話,不再啞口。你必這樣為他們作預兆,他們就知道我是耶和華。」

Ezekiel

Chapter 24

1 Again in the ninth8671 year,8141 in the tenth6224 month,2320 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

2 Son1121 of man,120 write3789 you the name8034 of the day,3117 even of this2088 same6106 day:3117 the king4428 of Babylon894 set5564 himself against413 Jerusalem3389 this2088 same6106 day.3117

3 And utter4911 a parable4912 to the rebellious4805 house,1004 and say559 to them, Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Set8239 on a pot,5518 set8239 it on, and also1571 pour3332 water4325 into it:

4 Gather622 the pieces5409 thereof into it, even every3605 good2896 piece,5409 the thigh,3409 and the shoulder;3802 fill4390 it with the choice4005 bones.6106

5 Take3947 the choice4005 of the flock,6629 and burn1754 also1571 the bones6106 under8478 it, and make it boil7570 well,7571 and let them seethe1310 the bones6106 of it therein.8432

6 Why3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city,5892 to the pot5518 whose834 scum2457 is therein, and whose scum2457 is not gone3318 out of it! bring3318 it out piece5409 by piece;5409 let no3808 lot1486 fall5307 on it.

7 For her blood1818 is in the middle8432 of her; she set7760 it on the top6706 of a rock;5553 she poured8210 it not on the ground,776 to cover3680 it with dust;6083

8 That it might cause fury2534 to come5927 up to take vengeance;5359 I have set5414 her blood1818 on the top6706 of a rock,5553 that it should not be covered.3680

9 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city!5892 I will even make the pile4071 for fire great.1431

10 Heap7235 on wood,6086 kindle1814 the fire,784 consume8552 the flesh,1320 and spice7543 it well, and let the bones6106 be burned.2787

11 Then set5975 it empty7385 on the coals1513 thereof, that the brass5178 of it may be hot,3179 and may burn,2787 and that the filthiness2932 of it may be molten5413 in it, that the scum2457 of it may be consumed.8552

12 She has wearied3811 herself with lies,8383 and her great7227 scum2457 went3318 not forth3318 out of her: her scum2457 shall be in the fire.784

13 In your filthiness2932 is lewdness:2154 because3282 I have purged2891 you, and you were not purged,2891 you shall not be purged2891 from your filthiness2932 any more,5750 till5704 I have caused my fury2534 to rest5117 on you.

14 I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it: it shall come935 to pass, and I will do6213 it; I will not go6544 back,6544 neither3808 will I spare,2347 neither3808 will I repent;5162 according to your ways,1870 and according to your doings,5949 shall they judge8199 you, said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

15 Also the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

16 Son1121 of man,120 behold,2005 I take3947 away from you the desire4261 of your eyes5869 with a stroke:4046 yet neither3808 shall you mourn5594 nor3808 weep,1058 neither3808 shall your tears1832 run935 down.

17 Forbear1826 to cry,602 make6213 no3808 mourning60 for the dead,4191 bind2280 the tire6287 of your head on you, and put7760 on your shoes5275 on your feet,7272 and cover5844 not your lips,8222 and eat398 not the bread3899 of men.582

18 So I spoke1696 to the people5971 in the morning:1242 and at even6153 my wife802 died;4191 and I did6213 in the morning1242 as I was commanded.6680

19 And the people5971 said559 to me, Will you not tell5046 us what4100 these428 things are to us, that you do6213 so?

20 Then I answered559 them, The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

21 Speak559 to the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2005 I will profane2490 my sanctuary,4720 the excellency1347 of your strength,5797 the desire4261 of your eyes,5869 and that which your soul5315 pities;4263 and your sons1121 and your daughters1323 whom834 you have left5800 shall fall5307 by the sword.2719

22 And you shall do6213 as I have done:6213 you shall not cover5844 your lips,8222 nor3808 eat398 the bread3899 of men.582

23 And your tires6287 shall be on your heads,7218 and your shoes5275 on your feet:7272 you shall not mourn5594 nor3808 weep;1058 but you shall pine4743 away for your iniquities,5771 and mourn5098 one376 toward413 another.251

24 Thus Ezekiel3168 is to you a sign:4159 according to all3605 that he has done6213 shall you do:6213 and when this comes,935 you shall know3045 that I am the Lord136 GOD.3069

25 Also, you son1121 of man,120 shall it not be in the day3117 when I take3947 from them their strength,4581 the joy4885 of their glory,8597 the desire4261 of their eyes,5869 and that whereupon they set4853 their minds,5315 their sons1121 and their daughters,1323

26 That he that escapes6412 in that day3117 shall come935 to you, to cause you to hear2045 it with your ears?241

27 In that day3117 shall your mouth6310 be opened6605 to him which is escaped,6412 and you shall speak,1696 and be no3808 more5750 dumb:481 and you shall be a sign4159 to them; and they shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068

Chapter 24

1 第九年十月初十日,耶和華的話又臨到我說:

1 Again in the ninth8671 year,8141 in the tenth6224 month,2320 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

2 「人子啊,今日正是巴比倫王攻打[against]耶路撒冷的日子;你要將這日記下。

2 Son1121 of man,120 write3789 you the name8034 of the day,3117 even of this2088 same6106 day:3117 the king4428 of Babylon894 set5564 himself against413 Jerusalem3389 this2088 same6106 day.3117

3 要向這叛逆之家設比喻說,主耶和華如此說:將鍋放在火上,放好了,就倒水在其中;

3 And utter4911 a parable4912 to the rebellious4805 house,1004 and say559 to them, Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Set8239 on a pot,5518 set8239 it on, and also1571 pour3332 water4325 into it:

4 將肉塊,就是一切肥美的肉塊、腿,和肩都聚在其中,拿美好的骨頭把鍋裝滿;

4 Gather622 the pieces5409 thereof into it, even every3605 good2896 piece,5409 the thigh,3409 and the shoulder;3802 fill4390 it with the choice4005 bones.6106

5 取羊群中最好的,將柴[burn]在鍋下,使鍋開滾,好把骨頭煮在其中。

5 Take3947 the choice4005 of the flock,6629 and burn1754 also1571 the bones6106 under8478 it, and make it boil7570 well,7571 and let them seethe1310 the bones6106 of it therein.8432

6 「主耶和華如此說:禍哉。這流人血的城,就是長有浮渣[scum is]的鍋。其中的浮渣[scum]未曾除掉,須要將肉塊從其中一一取出來;不必為它擲籤[lot]

6 Why3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city,5892 to the pot5518 whose834 scum2457 is therein, and whose scum2457 is not gone3318 out of it! bring3318 it out piece5409 by piece;5409 let no3808 lot1486 fall5307 on it.

7 城中所流的血倒在磐石的頂部[top of a rock]上,不倒在地上,用土掩蓋。

7 For her blood1818 is in the middle8432 of her; she set7760 it on the top6706 of a rock;5553 she poured8210 it not on the ground,776 to cover3680 it with dust;6083

8 這城中所流的血倒在磐石的頂部[top of a rock]上,不得掩蓋,乃是出於我,為要發烈怒[fury]施行報應。

8 That it might cause fury2534 to come5927 up to take vengeance;5359 I have set5414 her blood1818 on the top6706 of a rock,5553 that it should not be covered.3680

9 所以主耶和華如此說:禍哉。這流人血的城,我[will]堆作大火[pile for fire great]

9 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Woe188 to the bloody1818 city!5892 I will even make the pile4071 for fire great.1431

10 添上木柴,使火著旺,將肉煮爛調香[spice it well],使骨頭烤焦;

10 Heap7235 on wood,6086 kindle1814 the fire,784 consume8552 the flesh,1320 and spice7543 it well, and let the bones6106 be burned.2787

11 把鍋倒空坐在炭火上,使鍋燒熱,使銅燒紅,熔化[molten]其中的污穢,除淨其上的浮渣[scum]

11 Then set5975 it empty7385 on the coals1513 thereof, that the brass5178 of it may be hot,3179 and may burn,2787 and that the filthiness2932 of it may be molten5413 in it, that the scum2457 of it may be consumed.8552

12 這鍋因虛謊[with lies]疲乏,所長的大浮渣[scum]仍未除掉;這浮渣[scum]就是用火也不能除掉。

12 She has wearied3811 herself with lies,8383 and her great7227 scum2457 went3318 not forth3318 out of her: her scum2457 shall be in the fire.784

13 在你污穢中有淫行;我[because]潔淨你,你卻不潔淨,你的污穢再不能潔淨,直等我向你發的烈怒臨到[fury to rest upon]

13 In your filthiness2932 is lewdness:2154 because3282 I have purged2891 you, and you were not purged,2891 you shall not be purged2891 from your filthiness2932 any more,5750 till5704 I have caused my fury2534 to rest5117 on you.

14 我─耶和華說過的必定成就,必照話而行,必不返回,必不顧惜,也不後悔。人必照你的舉動行為審判你。這是主耶和華說的。」

14 I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it: it shall come935 to pass, and I will do6213 it; I will not go6544 back,6544 neither3808 will I spare,2347 neither3808 will I repent;5162 according to your ways,1870 and according to your doings,5949 shall they judge8199 you, said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

15 耶和華的話又臨到我說:

15 Also the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

16 「人子啊,你看[behold],我要將你眼目所喜愛的忽然取去,你卻不可悲哀哭泣,也不可流淚,

16 Son1121 of man,120 behold,2005 I take3947 away from you the desire4261 of your eyes5869 with a stroke:4046 yet neither3808 shall you mourn5594 nor3808 weep,1058 neither3808 shall your tears1832 run935 down.

17 不要哀號[Forbear to cry],不可辦理喪事;頭上仍勒裹頭巾,腳上仍穿鞋,不可蒙著嘴唇,也不可吃弔喪的食物。」

17 Forbear1826 to cry,602 make6213 no3808 mourning60 for the dead,4191 bind2280 the tire6287 of your head on you, and put7760 on your shoes5275 on your feet,7272 and cover5844 not your lips,8222 and eat398 not the bread3899 of men.582

18 於是我將這事早晨告訴百姓,晚上我的妻就死了。次日早晨我便遵命而行。

18 So I spoke1696 to the people5971 in the morning:1242 and at even6153 my wife802 died;4191 and I did6213 in the morning1242 as I was commanded.6680

19 百姓問我說:「你這樣行與我們有甚麼關係,你不告訴我們嗎?」

19 And the people5971 said559 to me, Will you not tell5046 us what4100 these428 things are to us, that you do6213 so?

20 我回答他們:「耶和華的話臨到我說:

20 Then I answered559 them, The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

21 『你告訴以色列家,主耶和華如此說:看哪[Behold],我必使我的聖所,就是你們力量的威榮[excellency of your strength]、眼裏所喜愛、心中所愛惜的被褻瀆,並且你們所[left]的兒女必倒在刀下。

21 Speak559 to the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2005 I will profane2490 my sanctuary,4720 the excellency1347 of your strength,5797 the desire4261 of your eyes,5869 and that which your soul5315 pities;4263 and your sons1121 and your daughters1323 whom834 you have left5800 shall fall5307 by the sword.2719

22 那時,你們必行我僕人所行的,不蒙著嘴唇,也不吃弔喪的食物。

22 And you shall do6213 as I have done:6213 you shall not cover5844 your lips,8222 nor3808 eat398 the bread3899 of men.582

23 你們仍要頭上勒裹頭巾,腳上穿鞋;不可悲哀哭泣。你們必因自己的罪孽相對歎息,漸漸消滅。

23 And your tires6287 shall be on your heads,7218 and your shoes5275 on your feet:7272 you shall not mourn5594 nor3808 weep;1058 but you shall pine4743 away for your iniquities,5771 and mourn5098 one376 toward413 another.251

24 以西結必這樣為你們作預兆;凡他所行的,你們也必照樣行。那事來到,你們就知道我是主耶和華。』

24 Thus Ezekiel3168 is to you a sign:4159 according to all3605 that he has done6213 shall you do:6213 and when this comes,935 you shall know3045 that I am the Lord136 GOD.3069

25 「人子啊,我除掉他們的力氣[their strength]、所歡喜的榮耀,並眼中所喜愛的[the desire of their eyes]、心裏所重看的,和他們的兒女[their sons and their daughters]

25 Also, you son1121 of man,120 shall it not be in the day3117 when I take3947 from them their strength,4581 the joy4885 of their glory,8597 the desire4261 of their eyes,5869 and that whereupon they set4853 their minds,5315 their sons1121 and their daughters,1323

26 那日逃脫的人豈不來到你這裏,使你耳聞這事嗎?

26 That he that escapes6412 in that day3117 shall come935 to you, to cause you to hear2045 it with your ears?241

27 你必向逃脫的人開口說話,不再啞口。你必這樣為他們作預兆,他們就知道我是耶和華。」

27 In that day3117 shall your mouth6310 be opened6605 to him which is escaped,6412 and you shall speak,1696 and be no3808 more5750 dumb:481 and you shall be a sign4159 to them; and they shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068
