1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations. 3 You shall say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: "A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her! 4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6 "‘"Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. 7 In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths. 9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you. 10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity. 11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. 12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me," says the Lord Yahweh.
13 "‘"Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you. 14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it. 15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you. 16 You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh."’"
17 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver. 19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem. 20 As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you. 21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it. 22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.’"
23 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 24 "Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’ 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it. 26 Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. 28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,’ when Yahweh has not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
30 "I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads," says the Lord Yahweh.
1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 "人子啊， 你要审判吗？你要审判这流人血的城吗？你要使这城知道它一切可憎的事。
3 你要说： ‘主耶和华这样说： 这城中有流人血的事， 它制造偶像， 玷污自己， 以致它受审判的时候来到。
4 因你流了人的血， 你就有罪了； 因你做了偶像， 你就玷污了自己； 这样， 你使你受罚的日子临近， 遭报的年日来到， 我使你成为列国辱骂、列邦讥笑的对象。
5 你这混乱喧嚷、名被玷污的城啊！ 那些离你近的和离你远的， 都必讥笑你。
6 看哪！ 以色列的领袖们恃着自己的能力， 在你里面流人的血。
7 在你里面轻视父母的； 在你中间有压迫寄居的和欺负孤儿寡妇的。
8 你藐视了我的圣物， 亵渎了我的安息日。
9 在你里面有好谗谤的人， 他们要流人的血； 在你的山上吃祭肉； 又在你中间行淫乱的事。
10 在你里面有暴露父亲下体的； 有污辱在经期中不洁的妇人的。
11 在你里面， 这人与邻舍的妻子行可憎的事； 那人行淫乱， 玷污自己的儿媳； 还有人污辱自己的同胞姊妹。
12 在你里面有接受贿赂而流人血的； 你借钱给人， 收取利息， 并且多要； 你用欺压手段向你的邻舍榨取不义之财； 你更忘记了我。这是主耶和华的宣告。
13 "‘看哪！ 因你所得的不义之财， 又因在你中间所流的血， 我就拍掌。
14 到了我惩治你的日子， 你的心还能受得住吗？你的手还有力吗？我耶和华说了， 就必实行。
15 我要把你分散在列国， 四散在万邦； 我要从你中间消除你的污秽。
16 你在列国眼前被玷污的时候， 你就知道我是耶和华。’"
17 耶和华的话临到我说：
18 "人子啊！ 以色列家在我看来已成了渣滓； 他们都是炉中的铜、锡、铁和铅； 就是银的渣滓。
19 因此， 主耶和华这样说： ‘你们既然都成了渣滓， 所以， 我要把你们集合在耶路撒冷城中。
20 人怎样把银、铜、铁、铅、锡， 集合在炉中， 吹火使它们熔化， 我也照样在我的怒气、我的烈怒中， 把你们集合起来， 放在城中， 使你们熔化。
21 我必集合你们， 把我烈怒的火吹在你们身上， 你们就必在城中熔化。
22 银子怎样在炉中熔化， 你们也必照样在城中熔化； 你们就知道我耶和华把我的烈怒倒在你身上。’"
23 耶和华的话临到我说：
24 "人子啊！ 你要对这地说： ‘在忿怒的日子， 你是没有雨水（"没有雨水"这译法根据古译本， 原文作"未得洁净"）， 没有甘霖之地’。
25 其中的先知叛逆， 像吼叫的狮子撕碎猎物； 他们把人吞吃， 抢夺财物和珍宝， 使其中寡妇的数目增多。
26 这地的祭司违反我的律法， 亵渎我的圣物； 他们不分别圣俗， 也不教导人分辨什么是洁净的和不洁净的， 又掩目不理我的安息日， 以致我在他们中间被亵渎。
27 其中的官长好像撕碎猎物的豺狼， 流人的血， 灭人的命， 为要得不义之财。
28 这地的先知用灰泥给他们粉刷墙壁， 为他们见虚假的异象， 行骗人的占卜， 说： ‘主耶和华这样说’， 其实当时耶和华并没有说话。
29 这地的人民常常欺压人， 惯行抢掠， 亏待困苦穷乏的人， 毫无公理地去欺压寄居的人。
30 我在他们中间寻找一人重修墙垣， 在我面前为这地站在破口之处， 使我不毁灭这地， 我却找不到一个。
31 所以我把我的忿怒倒在他们身上， 用我烈怒之火消灭他们， 把他们所行的报应在他们的头上。这是主耶和华的宣告。"
