¹大施屠杀

¹And He crieth in mine ears — a loud voice — saying, `Drawn near have inspectors of the city, and each his destroying weapon in his hand.`

²忽然，有六个人从朝北的上门那边走来，各人手里拿着杀人的武器；他们中间有一个人身穿细麻布衣服，腰间带着墨盒子；他们进来，站在铜祭坛旁边。

²And lo, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe`s inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the brazen altar.

³以色列　神的荣耀本来是在基路伯上面的，现在从那里移到殿的门槛；耶和华把那身穿细麻布衣服，腰间带着墨盒子的人召来，

³And the honour of the God of Israel hath gone up from off the cherub, on which it hath been, unto the threshold of the house.

⁴对他说：“你要走遍耶路撒冷全城，那些因城中所行的一切可憎的事而叹息悲哀的人，你要在他们的额上画个记号。”

⁴And He calleth unto the man who is clothed with linen, who hath the scribe`s inkhorn at his loins, and Jehovah saith unto him, `Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and thou hast made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.`

⁵我又听见他对其余的人说：“你们要跟随他走遍那城，进行杀戮；你们的眼不要顾惜，你们也不要怜恤。

⁵And to the others he said in mine ears, `Pass on into the city after him, and smite; your eye doth not pity, nor do ye spare;

⁶你们要从我的圣所开始，把老年人、少年人、少女、孩童和妇女都杀尽灭绝，只是那些额上有记号的人，你们都不可伤害。”于是他们从殿前那些长老开始杀戮。

⁶aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, ye do slay — to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the mark ye do not go nigh, and from My sanctuary ye begin.`

⁷他又对他们说：“你们要玷污这殿，使这些院子充满被杀的人；你们出去吧！”于是他们出去，在城中进行杀戮。

⁷And they begin among the aged men who [are] before the house, and He saith unto them, `Defile the house, and fill the courts with the wounded, go forth.` And they have gone forth and have smitten in the city.

⁸以西结的祷告不蒙垂听他们杀戮的时候，只留下我一个人，我就脸伏在地，呼叫说：“哎，主耶和华啊！难道你要向耶路撒冷倾倒你的烈怒，使所有以色列余剩的人都灭绝么？”

⁸And it cometh to pass, as they are smiting, and I — I am left — that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, art Thou destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Thy pouring out Thy wrath on Jerusalem?`

⁹他对我说：“以色列家和犹大家罪大恶极，地上充满血腥，城内充满不义，因为他们说：‘耶和华已经离开这地，他看不见我们了！’

⁹And He saith unto me, `The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] very very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.

¹⁰因此，我的眼必不顾惜，我也必不怜恤；我要把他们所行的报应在他们的头上。”

¹⁰And I also, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare; their way on their own head I have put.`

¹¹那身穿细麻布衣服，腰间带着墨盒子的人回报这事，说：“我已经照着你所吩咐我的行了。”

¹¹And lo, the man clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, `I have done as Thou hast commanded me.`
