1耶路撒冷的罪行耶和華的話又臨到我說：
1Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2“人子啊，你要審判嗎？你要審判這流人血的城嗎？你要使這城知道它一切可憎的事。
2You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
3你要說：‘主耶和華這樣說：這城中有流人血的事，它製造偶像，玷污自己，以致它受審判的時候來到。
3You shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
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；這樣，你使你受罰的日子臨近，遭報的年日來到，我使你成為列國辱罵、列邦譏笑的對象。
4You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5你這混亂喧嚷、名被玷污的城啊！那些離你近的和離你遠的，都必譏笑你。
5Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
6看哪！以色列的領袖們恃著自己的能力，在你裡面流人的血。
6Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
7在你裡面輕視父母的；在你中間有壓迫寄居的和欺負孤兒寡婦的。
7In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8你藐視了我的聖物，褻瀆了我的安息日。
8You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9在你裡面有好讒謗的人，他們要流人的血；在你的山上吃祭肉；又在你中間行淫亂的事。
9Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
10在你裡面有暴露父親下體的；有污辱在經期中不潔的婦人的。
10In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11在你裡面，這人與鄰舍的妻子行可憎的事；那人行淫亂，玷污自己的兒媳；還有人污辱自己的同胞姊妹。
11One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12在你裡面有接受賄賂而流人血的；你借錢給人，收取利息，並且多要；你用欺壓手段向你的鄰舍榨取不義之財；你更忘記了我。這是主耶和華的宣告。
12In 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“‘看哪！因你所得的不義之財，又因在你中間所流的血，我就拍掌。
13Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
14到了我懲治你的日子，你的心還能受得住嗎？你的手還有力嗎？我耶和華說了，就必實行。
14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it.
15我要把你分散在列國，四散在萬邦；我要從你中間消除你的污穢。
15I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
16你在列國眼前被玷污的時候，你就知道我是耶和華。’”
16You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
17渣滓必遭熔化的比喻耶和華的話臨到我說：
17The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
18“人子啊！以色列家在我看來已成了渣滓；他們都是爐中的銅、錫、鐵和鉛；就是銀的渣滓。
18Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19因此，主耶和華這樣說：‘你們既然都成了渣滓，所以，我要把你們集合在耶路撒冷城中。
19Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20人怎樣把銀、銅、鐵、鉛、錫，集合在爐中，吹火使它們熔化，我也照樣在我的怒氣、我的烈怒中，把你們集合起來，放在城中，使你們熔化。
20As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21我必集合你們，把我烈怒的火吹在你們身上，你們就必在城中熔化。
21Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
22銀子怎樣在爐中熔化，你們也必照樣在城中熔化；你們就知道我耶和華把我的烈怒倒在你身上。’”
22As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.
23全國上下的罪行耶和華的話臨到我說：
23The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
24“人子啊！你要對這地說：‘在忿怒的日子，你是沒有雨水（“沒有雨水”這譯法根據古譯本，原文作“未得潔淨”），沒有甘霖之地’。
24Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
25其中的先知叛逆，像吼叫的獅子撕碎獵物；他們把人吞吃，搶奪財物和珍寶，使其中寡婦的數目增多。
25There is a conspiracy of her prophets in its midst, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.
26這地的祭司違反我的律法，褻瀆我的聖物；他們不分別聖俗，也不教導人分辨甚麼是潔淨的和不潔淨的，又掩目不理我的安息日，以致我在他們中間被褻瀆。
26Her 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, and I am profaned among them.
27其中的官長好像撕碎獵物的豺狼，流人的血，滅人的命，為要得不義之財。
27Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28這地的先知用灰泥給他們粉刷牆壁，為他們見虛假的異象，行騙人的占卜，說：‘主耶和華這樣說’，其實當時耶和華並沒有說話。
28Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh has not spoken.
29這地的人民常常欺壓人，慣行搶掠，虧待困苦窮乏的人，毫無公理地去欺壓寄居的人。
29The 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我在他們中間尋找一人重修牆垣，在我面前為這地站在破口之處，使我不毀滅這地，我卻找不到一個。
30I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
31所以我把我的忿怒倒在他們身上，用我烈怒之火消滅他們，把他們所行的報應在他們的頭上。這是主耶和華的宣告。”
31Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
