以西結書

第24章

1 約雅斤被擄之九年十月十日、耶和華諭我曰、

2 人子、爾當記錄是日、今日巴比倫王、攻耶路撒冷、

3 當罕譬而喻、以示違逆之家、曰、主耶和華曰、置鼎於火、盛之以水、

4 取羣畜之佳者、投其肉於中、或蹄或肘、遴選肢骸、集之於鼎、鼎下焚以車薪、使鼎沸骨糜。

5 併於上節

6 主耶和華曰、斯邑之民、殺人無度、禍必不遠、可比沸鼎、其銹常在、不爲洗滌、鼎中數方之肉、取之以出、毋庸遴選。

7 邑民殺人、血蹟現於石上、不瘗於土、

8 故我赫斯怒、以罰其罪、使彼之血、亦流石上、不瘗於土。

9 耶和華曰、邑民殺人其有禍乎、我必用車薪、使鼎沸然、增益其柴、火炎水沸、骨肉俱盡。

10 併於上節

11 留空鼎於火上、而炙其銅、以去污穢、以燬銹迹。

12 欲淨斯鼎、力瘁心勞、鼎銹斑駁、去之不易、故炙以火、

13 邑民行淫、至於污衊、我欲潔之、不肯成潔、故依然染污、待予降災、以雪我忿、

14 我耶和華旣言之必行之不食言、不囘志、不加矜憫、視爾所爲、而降重罰、我耶和華已言之矣。

15 耶和華諭我曰、

16 人子、我必使爾所愛之妻、忽焉而亡、爾勿哀哭、勿下淚、

17 爲死者毋揚爾聲、毋露爾首、毋去爾履、毋掩爾口、毋食苦餅。

18 以西結曰、我朝與民言、而夕妻死、詰朝、我循命而行。

19 民問我曰、爾有斯舉、與我何與、請以告我。

20 耶和華諭我曰、

21 爾當告以色列家云、主耶和華曰、我之聖所、爾素以爲榮、素所欣慕者、余必使之被玷、爾所遺之子女、必亡以刃。

22 以西結所爲者、爾必爲之、不掩爾口、不食苦餅。

23 不露爾首、不去爾履、不哀不哭、爾之衍尤、日漸消亡、彼此想嚮、而唁其喪。

24 以西結於爾爲徵、視其所爲、爾必爲之、斯事旣成、爾必知我乃主耶和華。

25 人子、越至後日民所倚賴、所欣慕之聖所、爰及子女、我必棄之如遺。

26 浸假有人得免於難、至於爾前、以此相告。

27 爾可啟口、勿復緘默、以示免難之人、使知爾爲徵、我乃耶和華。

Ezekiel

Chapter 24

1 IN the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, write down the name of this day, for on this very day the king of Babylon has set himself against Jerusalem.

3 And devise a parable concerning the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the LORD God: Set a pot on the fire and pour water into it;

4 And put into it pieces of meat which are good and fat, a shoulder whose bone is broken from the choicest of the flock.

5 And burn also the bones under the pot, and make it boil well, and let the bones seethe in it.

6 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city, in which the pot is set on the fire, and whose iniquity has not gone out of it! Cut her piece by piece, so destroyed that no one would divide her by lot.

7 For the blood is still in the midst of her; she splashed it upon the rock; she poured it not upon the ground to cover it with dust,

8 That it might cause my fury to come up, to take vengeance; I have set her blood on the top of a smooth rock, that it should not be covered.

9 Therefore, thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city! I will even enlarge the fireplace and increase the fuel,

10 And I will kindle the fire, and the flesh shall be cooked and seethe, and the bones shall be burned.

11 Then set the pot empty upon the coals, that it may become hot and that its brass may melt and the filthiness of it may be melted in it and that the scum of it may be consumed.

12 She has become like rotten figs, and her great iniquities have not gone out of her; her vengeance shall be in the fire.

13 Because you have polluted yourself with lewdness, and because I have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your filthiness, you shall not be cleansed any more till I have caused my fury to rest upon you.

14 I the LORD have spoken it; it shall come to pass and I will do it; I will not have pity, neither will I spare nor will I have mercy; but I will judge you according to your ways; and according to your doings, shall I judge you, says the LORD God.

15 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke; and you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, put on your robe and put shoes on your feet; and do not cover your lips nor eat the bread provided for you.

18 So I spoke of it to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and in the morning of the next day I did as I had been commanded.

19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us the meaning of these strange things which you do?

20 Then I said to them, This is the word of the LORD which came to me, saying,

21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I will allow my sanctuary to be profaned, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, the cleanser of your souls; and your sons and your daughters whom you leave behind shall fall by the sword.

22 And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips nor shall you eat the bread provided for mourners.

23 And your hair shall not be cut, and your shoes shall be on your feet; you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities and shall try to comfort one another.

24 Thus Ezekiel shall be to you for a sign; according to all that he has done shall you do; and you shall know that I am the LORD God.

25 But you, O Son of man, on the day when I take away from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the cleanser of their souls, their sons and their daughters,

26 On that day a survivor shall come to you and cause you to hear it with your ears;

27 And on that day the survivor shall open your mouth, and you shall speak and be no more dumb; and you shall be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

1 約雅斤被擄之九年十月十日、耶和華諭我曰、

3 當罕譬而喻、以示違逆之家、曰、主耶和華曰、置鼎於火、盛之以水、

3 And devise a parable concerning the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the LORD God: Set a pot on the fire and pour water into it;

4 取羣畜之佳者、投其肉於中、或蹄或肘、遴選肢骸、集之於鼎、鼎下焚以車薪、使鼎沸骨糜。

4 And put into it pieces of meat which are good and fat, a shoulder whose bone is broken from the choicest of the flock.

5 併於上節

5 And burn also the bones under the pot, and make it boil well, and let the bones seethe in it.

6 主耶和華曰、斯邑之民、殺人無度、禍必不遠、可比沸鼎、其銹常在、不爲洗滌、鼎中數方之肉、取之以出、毋庸遴選。

6 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city, in which the pot is set on the fire, and whose iniquity has not gone out of it! Cut her piece by piece, so destroyed that no one would divide her by lot.

7 邑民殺人、血蹟現於石上、不瘗於土、

7 For the blood is still in the midst of her; she splashed it upon the rock; she poured it not upon the ground to cover it with dust,

8 故我赫斯怒、以罰其罪、使彼之血、亦流石上、不瘗於土。

8 That it might cause my fury to come up, to take vengeance; I have set her blood on the top of a smooth rock, that it should not be covered.

9 耶和華曰、邑民殺人其有禍乎、我必用車薪、使鼎沸然、增益其柴、火炎水沸、骨肉俱盡。

9 Therefore, thus says the LORD God: Woe to the bloody city! I will even enlarge the fireplace and increase the fuel,

10 併於上節

10 And I will kindle the fire, and the flesh shall be cooked and seethe, and the bones shall be burned.

11 留空鼎於火上、而炙其銅、以去污穢、以燬銹迹。

11 Then set the pot empty upon the coals, that it may become hot and that its brass may melt and the filthiness of it may be melted in it and that the scum of it may be consumed.

12 欲淨斯鼎、力瘁心勞、鼎銹斑駁、去之不易、故炙以火、

12 She has become like rotten figs, and her great iniquities have not gone out of her; her vengeance shall be in the fire.

13 邑民行淫、至於污衊、我欲潔之、不肯成潔、故依然染污、待予降災、以雪我忿、

13 Because you have polluted yourself with lewdness, and because I have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your filthiness, you shall not be cleansed any more till I have caused my fury to rest upon you.

14 我耶和華旣言之必行之不食言、不囘志、不加矜憫、視爾所爲、而降重罰、我耶和華已言之矣。

14 I the LORD have spoken it; it shall come to pass and I will do it; I will not have pity, neither will I spare nor will I have mercy; but I will judge you according to your ways; and according to your doings, shall I judge you, says the LORD God.

15 耶和華諭我曰、

15 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

16 人子、我必使爾所愛之妻、忽焉而亡、爾勿哀哭、勿下淚、

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke; and you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

17 爲死者毋揚爾聲、毋露爾首、毋去爾履、毋掩爾口、毋食苦餅。

17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, put on your robe and put shoes on your feet; and do not cover your lips nor eat the bread provided for you.

18 以西結曰、我朝與民言、而夕妻死、詰朝、我循命而行。

18 So I spoke of it to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and in the morning of the next day I did as I had been commanded.

19 民問我曰、爾有斯舉、與我何與、請以告我。

19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us the meaning of these strange things which you do?

20 耶和華諭我曰、

20 Then I said to them, This is the word of the LORD which came to me, saying,

21 爾當告以色列家云、主耶和華曰、我之聖所、爾素以爲榮、素所欣慕者、余必使之被玷、爾所遺之子女、必亡以刃。

21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I will allow my sanctuary to be profaned, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, the cleanser of your souls; and your sons and your daughters whom you leave behind shall fall by the sword.

22 以西結所爲者、爾必爲之、不掩爾口、不食苦餅。

22 And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips nor shall you eat the bread provided for mourners.

23 不露爾首、不去爾履、不哀不哭、爾之衍尤、日漸消亡、彼此想嚮、而唁其喪。

23 And your hair shall not be cut, and your shoes shall be on your feet; you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities and shall try to comfort one another.

24 以西結於爾爲徵、視其所爲、爾必爲之、斯事旣成、爾必知我乃主耶和華。

24 Thus Ezekiel shall be to you for a sign; according to all that he has done shall you do; and you shall know that I am the LORD God.

25 人子、越至後日民所倚賴、所欣慕之聖所、爰及子女、我必棄之如遺。

25 But you, O Son of man, on the day when I take away from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the cleanser of their souls, their sons and their daughters,

26 浸假有人得免於難、至於爾前、以此相告。

26 On that day a survivor shall come to you and cause you to hear it with your ears;

27 爾可啟口、勿復緘默、以示免難之人、使知爾爲徵、我乃耶和華。

27 And on that day the survivor shall open your mouth, and you shall speak and be no more dumb; and you shall be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
