¹拜偶像者的惩罚

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

²“人子啊！你要面向以色列的群山说预言，

²`Son of man, set thy face unto mountains of Israel, and prophesy concerning them:

³说：‘以色列的群山，当听主耶和华的话！主耶和华对大山、小山、溪涧和山谷这样说：看哪！我必使刀剑临到你，毁灭你们的邱坛。

³And thou hast said: Mountains of Israel, Hear ye a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys, Lo, I, I am bringing in against you a sword, And I have destroyed your high places.

⁴你们的祭坛必然荒废，你们的香坛要被打碎；我要使你们被杀的人倒在你们的偶像面前。

⁴And desolated have been your altars, And broken your images, And I have caused your wounded to fall before your idols,

⁵我要把以色列人的尸体放在他们的偶像面前，又把你们的骸骨拋散在你们祭坛的周围。

⁵And put the carcases of the sons of Israel before their idols, And scattered your bones round about your altars.

⁶在你们居住的一切地方，城镇都必荒凉，邱坛都必荒废，以致你们的祭坛荒废被弃，你们的偶像被打碎、被消灭，你们的香坛要被砍下，你们所制造的要被除灭；

⁶In all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the high places are desolate, So that waste and desolate are your altars, And broken and ceased have your idols, And cut down have been your images, And blotted out have been your works.

⁷被杀的人必倒在你们中间，你们就知道我是耶和华。

⁷And fallen hath the wounded in your midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

⁸遗民蒙恩免灾“‘但我要保留一些余剩的人，你们分散在各地的时候，你们必有人在列国中从刀剑下逃出来。

⁸And I have caused [some] to remain, In their being to you the escaped of the sword among nations, In your being scattered through lands.

⁹那时，逃脱的人必在被掳去的列国中想起我怎样为了他们而伤痛，因为他们动了淫乱的心离弃我，他们邪淫的眼恋慕偶像；那时他们必为了自己所行的恶事和他们一切可憎的事厌恶自己。

⁹And remembered Me have your escaped among nations, Whither they have been taken captive, Because I have been broken with their heart that is going a-whoring, That hath turned aside from off Me, And with their eyes they are going a-whoring after their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces, For the evils that they have done — all their abominations.

¹⁰他们必知道我是耶和华，我说要降这灾祸在他们身上的话并不是空话。’”

¹⁰And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, Not for nought have I spoken to do to them this evil.

¹¹行恶者必遭灾祸主耶和华这样说：“你要拍手顿足，说：‘哀哉！因以色列家一切可憎的恶事，他们必倒在刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫之下。’

¹¹Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Smite with thy palm, and stamp with thy foot, And say: Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, Who by sword, by famine, and by pestilence do fall.

¹²在远处的必因瘟疫死亡，在近处的必倒在刀剑之下，那余下被围困的也必因饥荒死亡。我必这样在他们身上完全发尽我的烈怒。

¹²The far-off by pestilence dieth, And the near by sword falleth, And the left and the besieged by famine dieth, And I have completed my fury upon them.

¹³他们被杀的人倒在他们偶像的中间，在他们祭坛的周围，就是在各高冈各山顶上，在每一棵翠绿的树下和茂盛的橡树下，就是他们献馨香的祭给一切偶像的地方。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。

¹³And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In their wounded being in the midst of their idols, Round about their altars, On every high hill, on all tops of mountains, And under every green tree, and under every thick oak, The place where they gave sweet fragrance to all their idols.

¹⁴我必伸手攻击他们，使他们一切居住的地方，从旷野到第伯拉他，都变成非常荒凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。”

¹⁴And I have stretched out my hand against them, And have made the land a desolation, Even a desolation from the wilderness to Diblath, In all their dwellings, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
