以色列的结局近了
耶和华的话又临到我，说：
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2“你，人子啊，主耶和华对以色列地如此说：结局，结局临到了地的四境！Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3现在你的结局已经来临；我要使我的怒气临到你，也要按你的行为审判你，照你所做一切可憎的事惩罚你。Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4我的眼必不顾惜你，也不可怜你，却要按你所做的报应你，照你们中间可憎的事惩罚你；你就知道我是耶和华。And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
5“主耶和华如此说：灾难，惟一的灾难☛“灾难…灾难”：有古卷是“灾难接着灾难”。，看哪，临近了！Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6结局到了，结局到了，它要醒起来攻击你。看哪，它已来到！An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7境内的居民哪，厄运临到你；时候到了，日子近了，有闹哄，但不是山上欢呼的声音。The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8我快要将我的愤怒倾倒在你身上，向你发尽我的怒气，按你的行为审判你，照你所做一切可憎的事惩罚你。Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
9我的眼必不顾惜你，也不可怜你，必按你所做的报应你，照你中间可憎的事惩罚你；你就知道击打你的是我─耶和华。And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
10“看哪，那日子！看哪，已来到！厄运已经发生！杖已开花，骄傲已发芽。Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11残暴兴起，成了罚恶的杖。他们将一无所有，他们的富足☛“富足”或译“群众”。、他们的财宝☛“财宝”或译“喧嚣”。都不复存在；他们中间也不再有尊荣。Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12时候到了，日子近了，买主不可欢喜，卖主也不用愁烦，因为烈怒已经临到他们众人身上。The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13卖主即使存活，也不能讨回所卖的，因为这异象关乎他们众人；谁都不能讨回，也没有人能在罪孽中使自己的生命刚强。”For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
惩罚以色列的罪恶
14“他们吹了角，预备齐全，却无一人出战，因为我的烈怒临到他们众人身上。They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15外有刀剑，内有瘟疫、饥荒。在田野的，必因刀剑而死；在城中的，必遭饥荒、瘟疫吞灭。The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16其中幸存的要逃脱，各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声，如谷中的鸽子哀鸣；But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17双手发软，膝盖软弱如水，All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18腰束麻布，战栗笼罩他们；各人脸上羞愧，头上光秃。They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19他们要把银子抛弃在街上，看金子如污秽之物。正当耶和华发怒的日子，金银不能拯救他们，不能满足食欲，也不能使肚腹饱满，反倒成了自己罪孽的绊脚石。They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20他们用所夸耀华美的妆饰制造可憎可厌的偶像，所以我使他们看它如污秽之物。As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21我必将它交给外邦人为掠物，交给地上的恶人为掳物；他们要亵渎它。And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22他们亵渎我宝贵之所☛“宝贵之所”或译“隐密之所”。，强盗也进去亵渎它。我必转脸不顾以色列人☛“以色列人”：原文是“他们”。。My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23“要制造锁链；因为遍地都有流血的罪，满城都是残暴的事。Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24所以，我要使列国中最凶恶的人前来占据他们的房屋；我要止息残暴人的骄傲，他们的圣所也要被亵渎。Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25毁灭来到；他们求平安，却没有平安。Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26灾害加上灾害，风声接连风声；他们要向先知寻求异象，但祭司的教诲、长老的谋略都必断绝。Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27君王要悲哀，官长要披绝望为衣，这地百姓的手都发颤。我必照他们所做的待他们，按他们所应得的审判他们，他们就知道我是耶和华。”The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
