¹大施屠杀

¹Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, every man with 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。

²Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in their midst clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze 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，

³The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.

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。”

⁴Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over 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。

⁵To the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, and strike: don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity;

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。

⁶kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

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。

⁷He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! They went forth, and struck 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？”

⁸It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your 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！’

⁹Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.

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。”

¹⁰As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.

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。”

¹¹Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
