¹以色列人在埃及的罪行

¹And it cometh to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], in the tenth of the month, come in have certain of the elders of Israel to seek Jehovah, and they sit before me;

²耶和华的话临到我说：

²and there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

³“人子啊！你要告诉以色列的长老，对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：你们来求问我吗？我指着我的永生起誓，我必不让你们求问我。这是主耶和华的宣告。’

³`Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To seek Me are ye coming in? I live — I am not sought by you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

⁴人子啊，你要审问他们吗？要审问他们吗？你要使他们知道他们列祖那些可憎的事，

⁴Dost thou judge them? Dost thou judge, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause them to know,

⁵对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：在我拣选以色列的日子，我向雅各家的后裔举手起誓，又在埃及地向他们显现。我向他们举手起誓说：我是耶和华你们的　神。

⁵and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁶那日，我向他们举手起誓，要把他们从埃及地领出来，到我为他们所选定的流奶与蜜之地，就是万邦中最荣美的地。

⁶In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,

⁷我对他们说：你们各人要拋弃你们眼中那些可憎的像，不可因埃及的偶像玷污自己：我是耶和华你们的　神。

⁷And I say unto them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be not defiled, I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁸但是他们背叛了我，不肯听从我；他们各人没有拋弃他们眼中那些可憎的像，没有离弃埃及的偶像。”’那时我说，我要把我的烈怒倾倒在他们身上，在埃及地向他们完全发尽我的怒气。

⁸And — they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say — to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.

⁹然而我为了我名的缘故没有这样作，免得我的名在他们寄居的列国的人眼中被亵渎，我把他们从埃及地领出来，在列国的人眼前向他们显现。

⁹And I do [it] for My name`s sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.

¹⁰在旷野的罪行“‘这样我把他们从埃及地领了出来，带到旷野。

¹⁰And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them in unto the wilderness,

¹¹我把我的律例赐给他们，把我的典章指示他们；人如果遵行，就必因此活着。

¹¹And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth — liveth by them.

¹²我又把我的安息日赐给他们，作我与他们之间的凭据，使他们知道我是使他们分别为圣的耶和华。

¹²And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] Jehovah their sanctifier.

¹³可是以色列家在旷野背叛了我，没有遵行我的律例，弃绝了我的典章（人如果遵行这些，就必因此活着），大大亵渎了我的安息日，那时我说我要把我的烈怒倒在他们身上，在旷野把他们灭绝。

¹³And — rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

¹⁴然而我为了我名的缘故没有这样作，免得我的名在列国的人眼中被亵渎；我曾在他们眼前把以色列人领出来。

¹⁴And I do [it] for My name`s sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.

¹⁵我在旷野也曾经向他们举手起誓，必不领他们到我赐给他们的流奶与蜜之地，就是万邦中最荣美的地。

¹⁵And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,

¹⁶因为他们弃绝了我的典章，没有遵行我的律例，亵渎了我的安息日；他们的心随从自己的偶像。

¹⁶Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.

¹⁷虽然这样，我的眼还是顾惜他们，不毁灭他们；我没有在旷野把他们灭绝。

¹⁷And Mine eye hath pity on them — against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.

¹⁸“‘我在旷野对他们的儿女说：不要遵行你们祖先的律例，不要谨守他们的典章，也不要因他们的偶像玷污自己。

¹⁸And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.

¹⁹我是耶和华你们的　神；你们要遵行我的律例，谨守我的典章，把它们实行出来。

¹⁹I [am] Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,

²⁰你们要把我的安息日分别为圣，作我与你们之间的凭据，使你们知道我是耶和华你们的　神。

²⁰And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God.

²¹可是他们的儿女背叛了我，没有遵行我的律例，也没有谨守实行我的典章（人如果遵行这些律例典章，就必因此活着），亵渎了我的安息日；那时我说我要把我的烈怒倒在他们身上，在旷野向他们发尽我的怒气。

²¹And — the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed — to do them, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.

²²然而我为了我名的缘故缩手，没有这样作，免得我名在列国的人眼中被亵渎；我曾在他们眼前把以色列人领出来。

²²And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name`s sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.

²³我在旷野也曾经向他们举手起誓，要把他们分散在列国，四散在万邦；

²³I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.

²⁴因为他们没有遵守我的典章，弃绝了我的律例，亵渎了我的安息日，他们的眼目注视着他们祖先的偶像。

²⁴Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.

²⁵因此，我也把不好的律例和不能借以存活的典章赐给他们；

²⁵And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.

²⁶他们使所有头生的都经火作供物，所以我让他们玷污自己，好叫他们惊惶，知道我是耶和华。’

²⁶And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Jehovah.

²⁷在迦南的罪行“因此，人子啊！你要告诉以色列家，对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：你们的列祖在对我不忠的这事上亵渎了我。

²⁷Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass.

²⁸我领他们到了我曾经举手起誓要赐给他们的那地，他们看见各高山和茂盛的树林，就在那里献祭，在那里奉上惹我发怒的供物，也在那里献上馨香的祭，并且在那里浇上他们的奠祭。’

²⁸And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations.

²⁹我问他们：‘你们所去的那高处是什么地方？’于是那高处的名字叫巴麻，直到今日。

²⁹And I say unto them: What [is] the high place whither ye are going in? And its name is called `high place` to this day.

³⁰因此，你要对以色列家说：‘主耶和华这样说：你们还照着你们祖先所行的玷污自己吗？仍随着他们可憎的偶像行邪淫吗？

³⁰Therefore, say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the way of your fathers are ye defiled? And after their detestable things go a-whoring?

³¹你们奉上供物，使你们的儿子经火，用你们的一切偶像玷污自己，直到今日。以色列家啊，我怎能让你们向我求问呢？主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓：我决不让你们向我求问。这是主耶和华的宣告。

³¹And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, Ye are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel! I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I am not sought by you.

³²你们说：我们要像列国的人，像列邦的各族一样去事奉木头和石头。你们心里所起的这意念，必不能成就。

³²And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all — in that ye are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.

³³重归故土的应许“‘我指着我的永生起誓：我必用大能的手，伸出来的膀臂，以及倒出来的烈怒，统治你们。这是主耶和华的宣告。

³³I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Do not I, with a strong hand, And with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out — rule over you?

³⁴我必用大能的手，伸出来的膀臂，以及倒出来的烈怒，把你们从万族中领出来，从你们所分散到的列邦招聚你们。

³⁴And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, With a strong hand and with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out.

³⁵我要把你们带到万族的旷野，在那里当面审判你们。

³⁵And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.

³⁶我怎样在埃及地的旷野审判你们的祖先，也必怎样审判你们。这是主耶和华的宣告。

³⁶As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

³⁷我必使你们从牧人的杖下经过，使你们进入盟约的约束。

³⁷And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,

³⁸我必从你们中间除净那些背叛和得罪我的人，我虽把他们从寄居之地领出来，可是他们不得进入以色列地；这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。

³⁸And cleared out from you the rebels, And them transgressing against Me, From the land of their sojournings I bring them out, And unto the land of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

³⁹以色列家啊，至于你们，主耶和华这样说：你们各人去事奉自己的偶像吧！只是将来你们必要听从我，不可再以你们的供物和偶像亵渎我的圣名。

³⁹And ye, O house of Israel, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Each his idols — go — serve ye, And, afterwards, if ye are not hearkening to me, And My holy name ye do not pollute any more by your gifts, and by your idols.

⁴⁰在我的圣山，就是在以色列的高山，以色列全家所有的人都要在那地事奉我；我要在那里悦纳他们；在那里向你们要举祭和初熟的土产，以及一切圣物。这是主耶和华的宣告。

⁴⁰For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land — there I accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.

⁴¹我从万族中把你们领出来，从你们所分散到的列邦召集你们的时候，我必悦纳你们，好像悦纳馨香的祭一样。我要在列国的人眼前，在你们中间显为圣。

⁴¹With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.

⁴²我领你们进入以色列地，就是进入我曾经举手起誓要赐给你们祖先的地以后，你们就知道我是耶和华。

⁴²And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, Unto the land that I did lift up My hand To give it to your fathers,

⁴³在那里你们要想起你们玷污自己的所作所为，又要为了自己所行的一切恶事而厌恶自己。

⁴³And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have done.

⁴⁴以色列家啊！为了我名的缘故，我没有照着你们的恶行和败坏的行为待你们，这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华的宣告。’”

⁴⁴And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My dealing with you for My name`s sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.`

⁴⁵焚烧树林的比喻耶和华的话临到我说：

⁴⁵And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

⁴⁶“人子啊！你要面向南方，向南面发言，说预言攻击南地田野的树林，

⁴⁶Son of man, set thy face the way of Teman, and prophesy unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field — the south;

⁴⁷对南地的树林说：‘你要听耶和华的话，主耶和华这样说：看哪！我要在你中间点起火来，吞灭你中间所有青绿和枯干的树；猛烈的火焰必不熄灭；从南到北遍地都要烧焦。

⁴⁷and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt by it have been all faces from south to north.

⁴⁸所有的人都必看见是我耶和华使这火燃起来；这火必不熄灭。’”

⁴⁸And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it — it is not quenched.`

⁴⁹于是我说：“啊，主耶和华啊！人都指着我说：‘这人不是在说比喻吗？’”（本章第45-49节在《马索拉抄本》为21:1-5）

⁴⁹And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he not using similes?
