Because they had not executed my judgments； but had despised my statutes； and had polluted my sabbaths； and their eyes were after their fathers' idols。
20：25我也任他们遵行不美的律例，谨守不能使人活着的恶规。
Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good； and judgments whereby they should not live；
20：26因他们将一切头生的经火，我就任凭他们在这供献的事上玷污自己，好叫他们凄凉，使他们知道我是耶和华。
And I polluted them in their own gifts； in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb； that I might make them desolate； to the end that they might know that I am the LORD。
20：27人子阿，你要告诉以色列家说，主耶和华如此说，你们的列祖在得罪我的事上亵渎我。
Therefore； son of man； speak unto the house of Israel； and say unto them； Thus saith the Lord GOD； Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me； in that they have mitted a trespass against me。
20：28因为我领他们到了我起誓应许赐给他们的地，他们看见各高山，各茂密树，就在那里献祭，奉上惹我发怒的供物，也在那里焚烧馨香的祭牲，并浇上奠祭。
For when I had brought them into the land； for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them； then they saw every high hill； and all the thick trees； and they offered there their sacrifices； and there they presented the provocation of their offering： there also they made their sweet savour； and poured out there their drink offerings。
20：29我就对他们说，你们所上的那高处叫什么呢。那高处的名字叫巴麻直到今日。
Then I said unto them； What is the high place whereunto ye go？ And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day。
20：30所以你要对以色列家说，主耶和华如此说，你们仍照你们列祖所行的玷污自己吗。仍照他们可憎的事行邪淫吗。
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel； Thus saith the Lord GOD； Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers？ and mit ye whoredom after their abominations？
20：31你们奉上供物使你们儿子经火的时候，仍将一切偶像玷污自己，直到今日吗。以色列家阿，我岂被你们求问吗。主耶和华说，我指着我的永生起誓，我必不被你们求问。
For when ye offer your gifts； when ye make your sons to pass through the fire； ye pollute yourselves with all your idols； even unto this day： and shall I be enquired of by you； O house of Israel？ As I live； saith the Lord GOD； I will not be enquired of by you。
20：32你们说，我们要像外邦人和列国的宗族一样，去事奉木头与石头。你们所起的这心意万不能成就。
And that which eth into your mind shall not be at all； that ye say； We will be as the heathen； as the families of the countries； to serve wood and stone。
20：33主耶和华说，我指着我的永生起誓，我总要作王，用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，并倾出来的忿怒，治理你们。
As I live； saith the Lord GOD； surely with a mighty hand； and with a stretched out arm； and with fury poured out； will I rule over you：
20：34我必用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，并倾出来的忿怒，将你们从万民中领出来，从分散的列国内聚集你们。
And I will bring you out from the people； and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered； with a mighty hand； and with a stretched out arm； and with fury poured out。
20：35我必带你们到外邦人的旷野，在那里当面刑罚你们。
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people； and there will I plead with you face to face。
20：36我怎样在埃及地的旷野刑罚你们的列祖，也必照样刑罚你们。这是主耶和华说的。
Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt； so will I plead with you； saith the Lord GOD。
20：37我必使你们从杖下经过，使你们被约拘束。
And I will cause you to pass under the rod； and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant：
20：38我必从你们中间除净叛逆和得罪我的人，将他们从所寄居的地方领出来，他们却不得入以色列地。你们就知道我是耶和华。
And I will purge out from among you the rebels； and them that transgress against me： I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn； and they shall not enter into the land of Israel： and ye shall know that I am the LORD。
20：39以色列家阿，至于你们，主耶和华如此说，从此以后若不听从我，就任凭你们去事奉偶像，只是不可再因你们的供物和偶像亵渎我的圣名。
As for you； O house of Israel； thus saith the Lord GOD； Go ye； serve ye every one his idols； and hereafter also； if ye will not hearken unto me： but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts； and with your idols。
20：40主耶和华说，在我的圣山，就是以色列高处的山，所有以色列的全家都要事奉我。我要在那里悦纳你们，向你们要供物和初熟的土产，并一切的圣物。
For in mine holy mountain； in the mountain of the height of Israel； saith the Lord GOD； there shall all the house of Israel； all of them in the land； serve me： there will I accept them； and there will I require your offerings； and the firstfruits of your oblations； with all your holy things。
20：41我从万民中领你们出来，从分散的列国内聚集你们，那时我必悦纳你们好像馨香之祭，要在外邦人眼前在你们身上显为圣。
I will accept you with your sweet savour； when I bring you out from the people； and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered； and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen。
20：42我领你们进入以色列地，就是我起誓应许赐给你们列祖之地，那时你们就知道我是耶和华。
And ye shall know that I am the LORD； when I shall bring you into the land of Israel； into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers。
20：43你们在那里要追念玷污自己的行动作为，又要因所作的一切恶事厌恶自己。
And there shall ye remember your ways； and all your doings； wherein ye have been defiled； and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have mitted。
20：44主耶和华说，以色列家阿，我为我名的缘故，不照着你们的恶行和你们的坏事待你们。你们就知道我是耶和华。
And ye shall know that I am the LORD； when I have wrought with you for my name's sake； not according to your wicked ways； nor according to your corrupt doings； O ye house of Israel； saith the Lord GOD。
20：45耶和华的话临到我说，
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me； saying；
20：46人子阿，你要面向南方，向南滴下预言攻击南方田野的树林。
Son of man； set thy face toward the south； and drop thy word toward the south； and prophesy against the forest of the south field；
20：47对南方的树林说，要听耶和华的话。主耶和华如此说，我必使火在你中间着起，烧灭你中间的一切青树和枯树，猛烈的火焰必不熄灭。从南到北，人的脸面都被烧焦。
And say to the forest of the south； Hear the word of the LORD； Thus saith the Lord GOD； Behold； I will kindle a fire in thee； and it shall devour every green tree in thee； and every dry tree： the flaming flame shall not be quenched； and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein。
20：48凡有血气的都必知道是我耶和华使火着起，这火必不熄灭。
And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it： it shall not be quenched。
20：49于是我说，哎。主耶和华阿，人都指着我说，他岂不是说比喻的吗。
Then said I； Ah Lord GOD！ they say of me； Doth he not speak parables？
旧约 以西结书（Ezekiel） 第 21 章 （ 本篇共有 48 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
21：1耶和华的话临到我说，
And the word of the LORD came unto me； saying；
21：2人子阿，你要面向耶路撒冷和圣所滴下预言，攻击以色列地。
Son of man； set thy face toward Jerusalem； and drop thy word toward the holy places； and prophesy against the land of Israel；
21：3对以色列地说，耶和华如此说，我与你为敌，并要拔刀出鞘，从你中间将义人和恶人一并剪除。
And say to the land of Israel； Thus saith the LORD； Behold； I am against thee； and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath； and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked。
21：4我既要从你中间剪除义人和恶人，所以我的刀要出鞘，自南至北攻击一切有血气的。
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked； therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north：
21：5一切有血气的就知道我耶和华已经拔刀出鞘，必不再入鞘。
That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath： it shall not return any more。
21：6人子阿，你要叹息，在他们眼前弯着腰，苦苦地叹息。
Sigh therefore； thou son of man； with the breaking of thy loins； and with bitterness sigh before their eyes。
21：7他们问你说，为何叹息呢。你就说，因为有风声，灾祸要来。人心都必消化，手都发软，精神衰败，膝弱如水。看哪，这灾祸临近，必然成就。这是主耶和华说的。
And it shall be； when they say unto thee； Wherefore sighest thou？ that thou shalt answer； For the tidings； because it eth： and every heart shall melt； and all hands shall be feeble； and every spirit shall faint； and all knees shall be weak as water： behold； it eth； and shall be brought to pass； saith the Lord GOD。
21：8耶和华的话临到我说，
Again the word of the LORD came unto me； saying；
21：9人子阿，你要预言。耶和华吩咐我如此说，有刀，有刀，是磨快擦亮的。
Son of man； prophesy； and say； Thus saith the LORD； Say； A sword； a sword is sharpened； and also furbished：
21：10磨快为要行杀戮，擦亮为要像闪电。我们岂可快乐吗。罚我子的杖藐视各树。
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter； it is furbished that it may glitter： should we then make mirth？ it contemneth the rod of my son； as every tree。
21：11这刀已经交给人擦亮，为要应手使用。这刀已经磨快擦亮，好交在行杀戮的人手中。
And he hath given it to be furbished； that it may be handled： this sword is sharpened； and it is furbished； to give it into the hand of the slayer。
21：12人子阿，你要呼喊哀号，因为这刀临到我的百姓和以色列一切的首领。他们和我的百姓都交在刀下，所以你要拍腿叹息。
Cry and howl； son o
