Ezekiel

Chapter 20

1 And it came to pass1961 in the seventh7637 year,8141 in the fifth2549 month, the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 that certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of Israel3478 came935 to inquire1875 853 of the LORD,3068 and sat3427 before6440 me.

2 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 me, saying,559

3 Son1121 of man,120 speak1696 853 unto the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 come935 to inquire1875 of me? As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired1875 of by you.

4 Wilt thou judge8199 them, son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge8199 them? cause them to know3045 853 the abominations8441 of their fathers: 1

5 And say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the day3117 when I chose977 Israel,3478 and lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto the seed2233 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and made myself known3045 unto them in the land776 of Egypt,4714 when I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, saying,559 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430

6 In the day3117 that I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, to bring them forth3318 of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 into413 a land776 that834 I had espied8446 for them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands: 776

7 Then said559 I unto413 them, Cast ye away7993 every man376 the abominations8251 of his eyes,5869 and defile not yourselves2930 408 with the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430

8 But they rebelled4784 against me, and would14 not3808 hearken8085 unto413 me: they did not3808 every man376 cast away7993 853 the abominations8251 of their eyes,5869 neither3808 did they forsake5800 the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 then I said,559 I will pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the midst8432 of the land776 of Egypt.4714

9 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 among8432 whom834 they1992 were, in whose834 sight5869 I made myself known3045 unto413 them, in bringing them forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt.4714

10 Wherefore I caused them to go3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and brought935 them into413 the wilderness.4057

11 And I gave5414 them853 my statutes,2708 and showed3045 them my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them.

12 Moreover also1571 I gave5414 them853 my sabbaths,7676 to be1961 a sign226 between996 me and them, that they might know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 that sanctify6942 them.

13 But the house1004 of Israel3478 rebelled4784 against me in the wilderness:4057 they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 and they despised3988 my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; and my sabbaths7676 they greatly3966 polluted:2490 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them in the wilderness,4057 to consume3615 them.

14 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them out.3318

15 Yet also1571 I589 lifted up5375 my hand3027 unto them in the wilderness,4057 that I would not1115 bring935 them into413 the land776 which834 I had given5414 them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands;776

16 Because3282 they despised3988 my judgments,4941 and walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 but polluted2490 my sabbaths:7676 for3588 their heart3820 went1980 after310 their idols.1544

17 Nevertheless mine eye5869 spared2347 5921 them from destroying4480 7843 them, neither3808 did I make6213 an end3617 of them in the wilderness.4057

18 But I said559 unto413 their children1121 in the wilderness,4057 Walk1980 ye not408 in the statutes2706 of your fathers,1 neither408 observe8104 their judgments,4941 nor408 defile yourselves2930 with their idols: 1544

19 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430 walk1980 in my statutes,2708 and keep8104 my judgments,4941 and do6213 them;

20 And hallow6942 my sabbaths;7676 and they shall be1961 a sign226 between996 me and you, that ye may know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430

21 Notwithstanding the children1121 rebelled4784 against me: they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 neither3808 kept8104 my judgments4941 to do6213 them, which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; they polluted2490 853 my sabbaths:7676 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the wilderness.4057

22 Nevertheless I withdrew7725 853 mine hand,3027 and wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 in the sight5869 of the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them forth.3318 853

23 I589 lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 unto them also1571 in the wilderness,4057 that I would scatter6327 them among the heathen,1471 and disperse2219 them through the countries;776

24 Because3282 they had not3808 executed6213 my judgments,4941 but had despised3988 my statutes,2708 and had polluted2490 my sabbaths,7676 and their eyes5869 were1961 after310 their fathers'1 idols.1544

25 Wherefore I589 gave5414 them also1571 statutes2706 that were not3808 good,2896 and judgments4941 whereby they should not3808 live;2421

26 And I polluted2930 them in their own gifts,4979 in that they caused to pass through5674 the fire all3605 that openeth6363 the womb,7356 that4616 I might make them desolate,8074 to the end4616 that834 they might know3045 that834 I589 am the LORD.3068

27 Therefore,3651 son1121 of man,120 speak1696 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Yet5750 in this2063 your fathers1 have blasphemed1442 me, in that they have committed4603 a trespass4604 against me.

28 For when I had brought935 them into413 the land,776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to them, then they saw7200 every3605 high7311 hill,1389 and all3605 the thick5687 trees,6086 and they offered2076 there8033 853 their sacrifices,2077 and there8033 they presented5414 the provocation3708 of their offering:7133 there8033 also they made7760 their sweet5207 savor,7381 and poured out5258 there8033 853 their drink offerings.5262

29 Then I said559 unto413 them, What4100 is the high place1116 whereunto834 8033 ye859 go?935 And the name8034 thereof is called7121 Bamah1117 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

30 Wherefore3651 say559 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 polluted2930 after the manner1870 of your fathers?1 and commit ye whoredom2181 859 after310 their abominations?8251

31 For when ye offer5375 your gifts,4979 when ye make your sons1121 to pass5674 through the fire,784 ye859 pollute yourselves2930 with all3605 your idols,1544 even unto5704 this day:3117 and shall I589 be inquired of1875 by you, O house1004 of Israel?3478 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired of1875 by you.

32 And that which cometh5927 into5921 your mind7307 shall not3808 be at all,1961 1961 that834 ye859 say,559 We will be1961 as the heathen,1471 as the families4940 of the countries,776 to serve8334 wood6086 and stone.68

33 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out,8210 will I rule4427 over5921 you:

34 And I will bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and will gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye are scattered,6327 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out.8210

35 And I will bring935 you into413 the wilderness4057 of the people,5971 and there8033 will I plead8199 with854 you face6440 to413 face.6440

36 Like as834 I pleaded8199 with854 your fathers1 in the wilderness4057 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 so3651 will I plead8199 with854 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

37 And I will cause you to pass5674 under8478 the rod,7626 and I will bring935 you into the bond4562 of the covenant: 1285

38 And I will purge out1305 from4480 among you the rebels,4775 and them that transgress6586 against me: I will bring them forth3318 853 out of the country4480 776 where they sojourn,4033 and they shall not3808 enter935 into413 the land127 of Israel:3478 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

39 As for you,859 O house1004 of Israel,3478 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Go1980 ye, serve5647 ye every one376 his idols,1544 and hereafter310 also, if518 ye will not369 hearken8085 unto413 me: but pollute2490 ye my holy6944 name8034 no3808 more5750 with your gifts,4979 and with your idols.1544

40 For3588 in mine holy6944 mountain,2022 in the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 there8033 shall all3605 the house1004 of Israel,3478 all3605 of them in the land,776 serve5647 me: there8033 will I accept7521 them, and there8033 will I require1875 853 your offerings,8641 and the firstfruits7225 of your oblations,4864 with all3605 your holy things.6944

41 I will accept7521 you with your sweet5207 savor,7381 when I bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye have been scattered;6327 and I will be sanctified6942 in you before5869 the heathen.1471

42 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall bring935 you into413 the land127 of Israel,3478 into413 the country776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to your fathers.1

43 And there8033 shall ye remember2142 853 your ways,1870 and all3605 your doings,5949 wherein834 ye have been defiled;2930 and ye shall loathe yourselves6962 in your own sight6440 for all3605 your evils7451 that834 ye have committed.6213

44 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have wrought6213 with854 you for my name's sake,4616 8034 not3808 according to your wicked7451 ways,1870 nor according to your corrupt7843 doings,5949 O ye house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

45 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

46 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 toward1870 the south,8486 and drop5197 thy word toward413 the south,1864 and prophesy5012 against413 the forest3293 of the south5045 field;7704

47 And say559 to the forest3293 of the south,5045 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will kindle3341 a fire784 in thee, and it shall devour398 every3605 green3892 tree6086 in thee, and every3605 dry3002 tree:6086 the flaming3852 flame7957 shall not3808 be quenched,3518 and all3605 faces6440 from the south4480 5045 to the north6828 shall be burned6866 therein.

48 And all3605 flesh1320 shall see7200 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have kindled1197 it: it shall not3808 be quenched.3518

49 Then said559 I, Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 they1992 say559 of me, Doth he1931 not3808 speak4911 parables?4912

第20章

1 約雅斤被擄之七年、五月十日、以色列族長老數人咸集、諮諏耶和華、坐於我前。

2 耶和華諭我曰、

3 人子、當告以色列族長老、云、主耶和華曰、爾來諮諏於我、我指己而誓、不許爾與我言。

4 人子、爾當責之、使知自昔以來、彼祖所作、我已痛疾。

5 爾當告之云、主耶和華曰、越在疇昔、我顯現於埃及、遴選以色列族雅各家、與之盟誓、曰、我耶和華爲爾之上帝、

6 旣立盟誓、導爾祖出埃及、至產乳與蜜之地、其地爲列國所羨美、我素所選者、

7 斯時我諭之曰、我乃耶和華、爾之上帝、爾當棄可惡之物、勿因埃及之偶像、自染污衊、

8 惟彼違逆、不從我命、不棄可惡之物、不毀埃及之偶像、故爾祖尚在埃及時、我已憤怒甚烈、欲降災其躬、

9 恐列國之民、以我爲無能、爲藐視我名、故我顯現、導之出埃及、入於曠野、使列國人目覩、

10 併於上節

11 俾知我禮儀法度、有人遵從、則可得生、

12 亦立我安息日、於我及彼之間爲徵、俾知我乃耶和華、使之成聖。

13 然以色列族在曠野、違逆乎我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、浸假有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼藐視之、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯衆、滅之務盡。

14 夫我所以不加殲滅者、恐列國之人、以我僅導斯民出於埃及、必將藐視我名。

15 彼尚在曠野、我誓不導之入產乳與蜜之地、斯地列國所羨美。

16 彼藐視我法度、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、心崇偶像。

17 然我猶加矜憫、不忍殲滅、不使殞沒於曠野、

18 當彼在曠野時、我告其子孫曰、勿效列祖之尤、勿從其所行、勿拜其所崇之偶像、自致污衊、

19 我乃耶和華爾之上帝、當遵我禮儀、從我法度、

20 守我安息日、可爲爾我間作徵、俾知我乃耶和華、爾之上帝。

21 子孫背我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、如有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼不守、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯衆、滅之務盡。

22 夫我所以不加殲滅者、恐列國之人、以我僅導斯民出於埃及、必將藐視我名、

23 彼尚在曠野、不守我法度、藐視我禮儀、犯我安息日、崇敬列祖所拜之偶像、我誓必散之於異邦族類中、

24 併於上節

25 彼從不善之例、失保生之法、我聽其然、〔我聽其然句或曰我使之然〕

26 彼獻初胎男子、焚之以火、我聽其污衊、使地荒蕪、俾知我乃耶和華。

27 惟爾人子、當告以色列族云、主耶和華曰、爾之列祖、更蹈罪愆、欺我太甚、

28 我導之入迦南、踐我誓言、彼見高巒茂林、遂獻祭奉禮、焚香灌奠、干我震怒、

29 我雖責之曰、爾登崇坵奚爲、迄今民登崇坵、不易其俗。

30 故爾當告以色列族云、主耶和華曰、列祖狥欲、崇拜偶像、爾何效尤、自取污衊。

31 以色列族乎、爾獻子女、焚之以火、崇事偶像、自沾污衊、今日乃來問我、我耶和華指己而誓、不許爾與我言。

32 爾欲效異邦人尤、崇拜木石、我必不姑容、

33 我耶和華指己而誓、必以巨能大力、震怒憤烈、治理爾曹、雖散於列邦、必撫集爾、

34 併於上節

35 導爾至人踪罕至之地、在彼指斥爾非、

36 與昔在埃及曠野、斥爾祖之非無異、我耶和華已言之矣。

37 我必循舊約、牧爾治爾、

38 凡違逆我者、必出乎爾中、去其所旅之邦、不得歸以色列地、使知我乃耶和華、

39 主耶和華曰、爾曹以色列族、今而後有不從我命者、我聽其崇奉偶像、然不許爾旣奉偶像、復獻禮物于我、瀆玩我聖名。

40 主耶和華曰、以色列全家、居斯土者、必於我聖岡、以色列地高巒、崇事乎我、在彼獻禮物、奉初產、作聖事、俱遵我命、我必納之。

41 爾雖散於列邦、我必撫集爾、納爾馨香、受爾崇敬、使異邦人目覩、

42 昔我誓以以色列地賜爾列祖、我使爾恢復、俾知我乃耶和華、

43 在彼追憶、爾所行污衊之事、自怨自艾。

44 主耶和華曰、以色列族乎、我待爾大度寬容、爾之惡行妄爲、我不苛以較量、爾旣明此、則知我乃耶和華。

45 耶和華諭我曰、

46 人子、爾當望南方、指南郊之林、而言未來事、曰、

47 南郊之林、宜聽耶和華之言、主耶和華曰。我必燃火林間、凡爾樹木、或青或枯、焚之務盡、其燄不滅、自南及北、四周盡燬、

48 衆人皆知、我耶和華所燃、不得撲滅。

49 以西結曰、主耶和華歟、人以我言、皆爲隱語。

第20章

1 And it came to pass1961 in the seventh7637 year,8141 in the fifth2549 month, the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 that certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of Israel3478 came935 to inquire1875 853 of the LORD,3068 and sat3427 before6440 me.

1 約雅斤被擄之七年、五月十日、以色列族長老數人咸集、諮諏耶和華、坐於我前。

2 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 me, saying,559

2 耶和華諭我曰、

3 Son1121 of man,120 speak1696 853 unto the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 come935 to inquire1875 of me? As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired1875 of by you.

3 人子、當告以色列族長老、云、主耶和華曰、爾來諮諏於我、我指己而誓、不許爾與我言。

4 Wilt thou judge8199 them, son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge8199 them? cause them to know3045 853 the abominations8441 of their fathers: 1

4 人子、爾當責之、使知自昔以來、彼祖所作、我已痛疾。

5 And say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 In the day3117 when I chose977 Israel,3478 and lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto the seed2233 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and made myself known3045 unto them in the land776 of Egypt,4714 when I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, saying,559 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430

5 爾當告之云、主耶和華曰、越在疇昔、我顯現於埃及、遴選以色列族雅各家、與之盟誓、曰、我耶和華爲爾之上帝、

6 In the day3117 that I lifted up5375 mine hand3027 unto them, to bring them forth3318 of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 into413 a land776 that834 I had espied8446 for them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands: 776

6 旣立盟誓、導爾祖出埃及、至產乳與蜜之地、其地爲列國所羨美、我素所選者、

7 Then said559 I unto413 them, Cast ye away7993 every man376 the abominations8251 of his eyes,5869 and defile not yourselves2930 408 with the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430

7 斯時我諭之曰、我乃耶和華、爾之上帝、爾當棄可惡之物、勿因埃及之偶像、自染污衊、

8 But they rebelled4784 against me, and would14 not3808 hearken8085 unto413 me: they did not3808 every man376 cast away7993 853 the abominations8251 of their eyes,5869 neither3808 did they forsake5800 the idols1544 of Egypt:4714 then I said,559 I will pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the midst8432 of the land776 of Egypt.4714

8 惟彼違逆、不從我命、不棄可惡之物、不毀埃及之偶像、故爾祖尚在埃及時、我已憤怒甚烈、欲降災其躬、

9 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 among8432 whom834 they1992 were, in whose834 sight5869 I made myself known3045 unto413 them, in bringing them forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt.4714

9 恐列國之民、以我爲無能、爲藐視我名、故我顯現、導之出埃及、入於曠野、使列國人目覩、

10 Wherefore I caused them to go3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and brought935 them into413 the wilderness.4057

10 併於上節

11 And I gave5414 them853 my statutes,2708 and showed3045 them my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them.

11 俾知我禮儀法度、有人遵從、則可得生、

12 Moreover also1571 I gave5414 them853 my sabbaths,7676 to be1961 a sign226 between996 me and them, that they might know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 that sanctify6942 them.

12 亦立我安息日、於我及彼之間爲徵、俾知我乃耶和華、使之成聖。

13 But the house1004 of Israel3478 rebelled4784 against me in the wilderness:4057 they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 and they despised3988 my judgments,4941 which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; and my sabbaths7676 they greatly3966 polluted:2490 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them in the wilderness,4057 to consume3615 them.

13 然以色列族在曠野、違逆乎我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、浸假有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼藐視之、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯衆、滅之務盡。

14 But I wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 before5869 the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them out.3318

14 夫我所以不加殲滅者、恐列國之人、以我僅導斯民出於埃及、必將藐視我名。

15 Yet also1571 I589 lifted up5375 my hand3027 unto them in the wilderness,4057 that I would not1115 bring935 them into413 the land776 which834 I had given5414 them, flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 which1931 is the glory6643 of all3605 lands;776

15 彼尚在曠野、我誓不導之入產乳與蜜之地、斯地列國所羨美。

16 Because3282 they despised3988 my judgments,4941 and walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 but polluted2490 my sabbaths:7676 for3588 their heart3820 went1980 after310 their idols.1544

16 彼藐視我法度、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、心崇偶像。

17 Nevertheless mine eye5869 spared2347 5921 them from destroying4480 7843 them, neither3808 did I make6213 an end3617 of them in the wilderness.4057

17 然我猶加矜憫、不忍殲滅、不使殞沒於曠野、

18 But I said559 unto413 their children1121 in the wilderness,4057 Walk1980 ye not408 in the statutes2706 of your fathers,1 neither408 observe8104 their judgments,4941 nor408 defile yourselves2930 with their idols: 1544

18 當彼在曠野時、我告其子孫曰、勿效列祖之尤、勿從其所行、勿拜其所崇之偶像、自致污衊、

19 I589 am the LORD3068 your God;430 walk1980 in my statutes,2708 and keep8104 my judgments,4941 and do6213 them;

19 我乃耶和華爾之上帝、當遵我禮儀、從我法度、

20 And hallow6942 my sabbaths;7676 and they shall be1961 a sign226 between996 me and you, that ye may know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 your God.430

20 守我安息日、可爲爾我間作徵、俾知我乃耶和華、爾之上帝。

21 Notwithstanding the children1121 rebelled4784 against me: they walked1980 not3808 in my statutes,2708 neither3808 kept8104 my judgments4941 to do6213 them, which834 if a man120 do,6213 853 he shall even live2421 in them; they polluted2490 853 my sabbaths:7676 then I said,559 I would pour out8210 my fury2534 upon5921 them, to accomplish3615 my anger639 against them in the wilderness.4057

21 子孫背我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、如有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼不守、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯衆、滅之務盡。

22 Nevertheless I withdrew7725 853 mine hand,3027 and wrought6213 for my name's sake,4616 8034 that it should not1115 be polluted2490 in the sight5869 of the heathen,1471 in whose834 sight5869 I brought them forth.3318 853

22 夫我所以不加殲滅者、恐列國之人、以我僅導斯民出於埃及、必將藐視我名、

23 I589 lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 unto them also1571 in the wilderness,4057 that I would scatter6327 them among the heathen,1471 and disperse2219 them through the countries;776

23 彼尚在曠野、不守我法度、藐視我禮儀、犯我安息日、崇敬列祖所拜之偶像、我誓必散之於異邦族類中、

24 Because3282 they had not3808 executed6213 my judgments,4941 but had despised3988 my statutes,2708 and had polluted2490 my sabbaths,7676 and their eyes5869 were1961 after310 their fathers'1 idols.1544

24 併於上節

25 Wherefore I589 gave5414 them also1571 statutes2706 that were not3808 good,2896 and judgments4941 whereby they should not3808 live;2421

25 彼從不善之例、失保生之法、我聽其然、〔我聽其然句或曰我使之然〕

26 And I polluted2930 them in their own gifts,4979 in that they caused to pass through5674 the fire all3605 that openeth6363 the womb,7356 that4616 I might make them desolate,8074 to the end4616 that834 they might know3045 that834 I589 am the LORD.3068

26 彼獻初胎男子、焚之以火、我聽其污衊、使地荒蕪、俾知我乃耶和華。

27 Therefore,3651 son1121 of man,120 speak1696 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Yet5750 in this2063 your fathers1 have blasphemed1442 me, in that they have committed4603 a trespass4604 against me.

27 惟爾人子、當告以色列族云、主耶和華曰、爾之列祖、更蹈罪愆、欺我太甚、

28 For when I had brought935 them into413 the land,776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to them, then they saw7200 every3605 high7311 hill,1389 and all3605 the thick5687 trees,6086 and they offered2076 there8033 853 their sacrifices,2077 and there8033 they presented5414 the provocation3708 of their offering:7133 there8033 also they made7760 their sweet5207 savor,7381 and poured out5258 there8033 853 their drink offerings.5262

28 我導之入迦南、踐我誓言、彼見高巒茂林、遂獻祭奉禮、焚香灌奠、干我震怒、

29 Then I said559 unto413 them, What4100 is the high place1116 whereunto834 8033 ye859 go?935 And the name8034 thereof is called7121 Bamah1117 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

29 我雖責之曰、爾登崇坵奚爲、迄今民登崇坵、不易其俗。

30 Wherefore3651 say559 unto413 the house1004 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Are ye859 polluted2930 after the manner1870 of your fathers?1 and commit ye whoredom2181 859 after310 their abominations?8251

30 故爾當告以色列族云、主耶和華曰、列祖狥欲、崇拜偶像、爾何效尤、自取污衊。

31 For when ye offer5375 your gifts,4979 when ye make your sons1121 to pass5674 through the fire,784 ye859 pollute yourselves2930 with all3605 your idols,1544 even unto5704 this day:3117 and shall I589 be inquired of1875 by you, O house1004 of Israel?3478 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 I will not518 be inquired of1875 by you.

31 以色列族乎、爾獻子女、焚之以火、崇事偶像、自沾污衊、今日乃來問我、我耶和華指己而誓、不許爾與我言。

32 And that which cometh5927 into5921 your mind7307 shall not3808 be at all,1961 1961 that834 ye859 say,559 We will be1961 as the heathen,1471 as the families4940 of the countries,776 to serve8334 wood6086 and stone.68

32 爾欲效異邦人尤、崇拜木石、我必不姑容、

33 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out,8210 will I rule4427 over5921 you:

33 我耶和華指己而誓、必以巨能大力、震怒憤烈、治理爾曹、雖散於列邦、必撫集爾、

34 And I will bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and will gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye are scattered,6327 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,2220 and with fury2534 poured out.8210

34 併於上節

35 And I will bring935 you into413 the wilderness4057 of the people,5971 and there8033 will I plead8199 with854 you face6440 to413 face.6440

35 導爾至人踪罕至之地、在彼指斥爾非、

36 Like as834 I pleaded8199 with854 your fathers1 in the wilderness4057 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 so3651 will I plead8199 with854 you, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

36 與昔在埃及曠野、斥爾祖之非無異、我耶和華已言之矣。

37 And I will cause you to pass5674 under8478 the rod,7626 and I will bring935 you into the bond4562 of the covenant: 1285

37 我必循舊約、牧爾治爾、

38 And I will purge out1305 from4480 among you the rebels,4775 and them that transgress6586 against me: I will bring them forth3318 853 out of the country4480 776 where they sojourn,4033 and they shall not3808 enter935 into413 the land127 of Israel:3478 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD.3068

38 凡違逆我者、必出乎爾中、去其所旅之邦、不得歸以色列地、使知我乃耶和華、

39 As for you,859 O house1004 of Israel,3478 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Go1980 ye, serve5647 ye every one376 his idols,1544 and hereafter310 also, if518 ye will not369 hearken8085 unto413 me: but pollute2490 ye my holy6944 name8034 no3808 more5750 with your gifts,4979 and with your idols.1544

39 主耶和華曰、爾曹以色列族、今而後有不從我命者、我聽其崇奉偶像、然不許爾旣奉偶像、復獻禮物于我、瀆玩我聖名。

40 For3588 in mine holy6944 mountain,2022 in the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 there8033 shall all3605 the house1004 of Israel,3478 all3605 of them in the land,776 serve5647 me: there8033 will I accept7521 them, and there8033 will I require1875 853 your offerings,8641 and the firstfruits7225 of your oblations,4864 with all3605 your holy things.6944

40 主耶和華曰、以色列全家、居斯土者、必於我聖岡、以色列地高巒、崇事乎我、在彼獻禮物、奉初產、作聖事、俱遵我命、我必納之。

41 I will accept7521 you with your sweet5207 savor,7381 when I bring you out3318 853 from4480 the people,5971 and gather6908 you out of4480 the countries776 wherein834 ye have been scattered;6327 and I will be sanctified6942 in you before5869 the heathen.1471

41 爾雖散於列邦、我必撫集爾、納爾馨香、受爾崇敬、使異邦人目覩、

42 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I shall bring935 you into413 the land127 of Israel,3478 into413 the country776 for the which834 I lifted up5375 853 mine hand3027 to give5414 it to your fathers.1

42 昔我誓以以色列地賜爾列祖、我使爾恢復、俾知我乃耶和華、

43 And there8033 shall ye remember2142 853 your ways,1870 and all3605 your doings,5949 wherein834 ye have been defiled;2930 and ye shall loathe yourselves6962 in your own sight6440 for all3605 your evils7451 that834 ye have committed.6213

43 在彼追憶、爾所行污衊之事、自怨自艾。

44 And ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD,3068 when I have wrought6213 with854 you for my name's sake,4616 8034 not3808 according to your wicked7451 ways,1870 nor according to your corrupt7843 doings,5949 O ye house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

44 主耶和華曰、以色列族乎、我待爾大度寬容、爾之惡行妄爲、我不苛以較量、爾旣明此、則知我乃耶和華。

45 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

45 耶和華諭我曰、

46 Son1121 of man,120 set7760 thy face6440 toward1870 the south,8486 and drop5197 thy word toward413 the south,1864 and prophesy5012 against413 the forest3293 of the south5045 field;7704

46 人子、爾當望南方、指南郊之林、而言未來事、曰、

47 And say559 to the forest3293 of the south,5045 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD;3068 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 I will kindle3341 a fire784 in thee, and it shall devour398 every3605 green3892 tree6086 in thee, and every3605 dry3002 tree:6086 the flaming3852 flame7957 shall not3808 be quenched,3518 and all3605 faces6440 from the south4480 5045 to the north6828 shall be burned6866 therein.

47 南郊之林、宜聽耶和華之言、主耶和華曰。我必燃火林間、凡爾樹木、或青或枯、焚之務盡、其燄不滅、自南及北、四周盡燬、

48 And all3605 flesh1320 shall see7200 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have kindled1197 it: it shall not3808 be quenched.3518

48 衆人皆知、我耶和華所燃、不得撲滅。

49 Then said559 I, Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 they1992 say559 of me, Doth he1931 not3808 speak4911 parables?4912

49 以西結曰、主耶和華歟、人以我言、皆爲隱語。
