以西结书 28

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

28 耶和華的話臨到我說： ²“人子啊！你要對推羅的君王說：‘主耶和華這樣說：

因為你心裡高傲，

說：我是神；

我在海的中心、

坐在神的寶座上。

其實你不過是人，並不是神，

你心裡卻自以為是神。

³你比但以理更有智慧！

任何祕密的事都不能隱瞞你！

⁴你靠著自己的智慧和聰明，

為自己得了財富，

把所得的金銀放進自己的府庫裡。

⁵你靠著自己在貿易上的大智慧，

增添你的財富，

你又因自己的財富心裡高傲。

⁶因此，主耶和華這樣說：

因為你心裡自以為是神，

⁷所以我要使外族人，

就是列國中最強橫的人，來攻擊你；

他們要拔出刀來，

攻擊你用智慧得來的美物，

玷污你的光彩。

⁸他們必使你下到坑中，

你必被殺害，

死在海的中心。

⁹在殺戮你的人面前，

你還能說“我是神”嗎？

在那些殺害你的人手裡，

你不過是人，並不是神。

¹⁰你必死在外族人手裡，與未受割禮的人一樣，

因為這是我曾說過的，

這是主耶和華的宣告。’”

¹¹耶和華的話又臨到我說： ¹²“人子啊！你要為推羅王作一首哀歌，對他說：‘主耶和華這樣說：

你是完美的典範，

滿有智慧，全然美麗。

¹³你曾在伊甸、　神的園中，

有各樣的寶石作你的衣服，

就是紅寶石、黃玉、金鋼石、

水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉、

藍寶石、綠寶石和翡翠；

寶石座是用金製造的，

這些都是在你被造的日子

就預備好了的。

¹⁴你是護衛寶座的、受膏的基路伯；

我安置你在　神的聖山上，

你在閃耀如火的寶石中間行走。

¹⁵從你被造的日子起，

你的行為都無可指摘，

直到在你中間有了罪孽為止。

¹⁶因你的貿易昌盛，

你中間就充滿了強暴的事，

你也犯了罪，

所以我把你當作污穢之物，

從　神的山把你拋棄。

護衛寶座的基路伯啊！我要把你

從閃耀如火的寶石中除掉。

¹⁷你因自己的美麗心裡高傲，

又因你的光彩敗壞了你的智慧。

所以我把你拋在地上；

放在列王面前，

好讓他們觀看。

¹⁸你因罪孽眾多，

又因貿易上的罪惡，

玷污了你的聖所，

因此我使火從你中間出來，

這火要吞滅你。

我要在所有觀看你的人眼前，

把你變為地上的灰燼。

¹⁹萬族中認識你的，

都必因你驚駭；

你必遭遇可怕的災禍，

你就永遠不再存在了。’”

西頓遭報

²⁰耶和華的話臨到我說： ²¹“人子啊！你要面向西頓，說預言攻擊它， ²²你要說：‘主耶和華這樣說：

西頓啊，我要與你為敵！

我要在你中間得榮耀。

我在它身上施行審判，

彰顯我的聖潔的時候，

人就知道我是耶和華。

²³我必使瘟疫進入西頓，

使血流在它的街上；

必有刀劍四圍攻擊它，

使被殺的人倒在城中，

人就知道我是耶和華。

²⁴四圍一切恨惡以色列家的人，必不再向他們作刺人的荊棘、使人痛苦的蒺藜。人就知道我是主耶和華。

以色列的復興

²⁵“‘主耶和華這樣說：我把以色列家從他們所分散到的萬族中招聚回來的時候，我必在他們身上向列國顯為聖，以色列家必在自己的地方，就是賜給我僕人雅各的地。 ²⁶他們必安然居住，建造房屋，栽種葡萄園；我向四圍所有恨惡他們的人施行審判以後，他們必安然居住；人就知道我是耶和華他們的　神。’”

Prophecy Against the Prince of Tyre

28 The word of the Lord came to me: ²^(A)“Son of man, say to ^(B)the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

^(C)“Because your heart is proud,
    and ^(D)you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
    in the heart of the seas,’
yet ^(E)you are but a man, and no god,
    ^(F)though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
³^(G)you are indeed wiser ^(H)than ^(I)Daniel;
    no secret is hidden from you;
⁴by your wisdom and your understanding
    ^(J)you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
    into your treasuries;
⁵by your great wisdom in your trade
    you have increased your wealth,
    and ^(K)your heart has become proud in your wealth—
⁶therefore thus says the Lord God:
^(L)Because you make your heart
    like the heart of a god,
⁷therefore, behold, I will bring ^(M)foreigners upon you,
    the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against ^(N)the beauty of your wisdom
    and defile ^(O)your splendor.
⁸^(P)They shall thrust you down into the pit,
    ^(Q)and you shall die the death of the slain
    in the heart of the seas.
⁹^(R)Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
    in the presence of those who kill you,
though ^(S)you are but a man, and no god,
    in the hands of those who slay you?
¹⁰^(T)You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
    by the hand of foreigners;
    ^(U)for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”

A Lament over the King of Tyre

¹¹Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me: ¹²^(V)“Son of man, ^(W)raise a lamentation over ^(X)the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

“You were the signet of perfection,^[a]
    ^(Y)full of wisdom and ^(Z)perfect in beauty.
¹³You were in ^(AA)Eden, the garden of God;
    ^(AB)every precious stone was your covering,
^(AC)sardius, topaz, and diamond,
    beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,^[b] ^(AD)emerald, and carbuncle;
    and crafted in gold were your settings
    and your engravings.^[c]
^(AE)On the day that you were created
    they were prepared.
¹⁴You were an anointed ^(AF)guardian cherub.
    I placed you;^[d] you were on ^(AG)the holy mountain of God;
    in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
¹⁵You were blameless in your ways
    ^(AH)from the day you were created,
    till unrighteousness was found in you.
¹⁶In the abundance of ^(AI)your trade
    you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from ^(AJ)the mountain of God,
    and I destroyed you,^[e] ^(AK)O guardian cherub,
    from the midst of the stones of fire.
¹⁷^(AL)Your heart was proud because of ^(AM)your beauty;
    you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
    I exposed you before kings,
    to feast their eyes on you.
¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities,
    in the unrighteousness of your trade
    you profaned your sanctuaries;
so ^(AN)I brought fire out from your midst;
    it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
    ^(AO)in the sight of all who saw you.
¹⁹All who know you among the peoples
    are appalled at you;
^(AP)you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.”

Prophecy Against Sidon

²⁰The word of the Lord came to me: ²¹^(AQ)“Son of man, ^(AR)set your face toward ^(AS)Sidon, and ^(AT)prophesy against her ²²and say, Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, ^(AU)I am against you, O Sidon,
    and ^(AV)I will manifest my glory in your midst.
And ^(AW)they shall know that I am the Lord
    ^(AX)when I execute judgments in her
    and ^(AY)manifest my holiness in her;
²³for I will send ^(AZ)pestilence into her,
    and blood into her streets;
and the slain shall fall in her midst,
    by the sword that is against her on every side.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“And for the house of Israel ^(BA)there shall be no more a brier to prick or ^(BB)a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors ^(BC)who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

Israel Gathered in Security

²⁵“Thus says the Lord God: ^(BD)When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and ^(BE)manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, ^(BF)then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. ²⁶^(BG)And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, ^(BH)when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors ^(BI)who have treated them with contempt. ^(BJ)Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”

New International Version

A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre

28 The word of the Lord came to me: ²“Son of man^(A), say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘In the pride of your heart
    you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne^(B) of a god
    in the heart of the seas.”^(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
    though you think you are as wise as a god.^(D)
³Are you wiser than Daniel^[a]?^(E)
    Is no secret hidden from you?
⁴By your wisdom and understanding
    you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
    in your treasuries.^(F)
⁵By your great skill in trading^(G)
    you have increased your wealth,^(H)
and because of your wealth
    your heart has grown proud.^(I)

⁶“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Because you think you are wise,
    as wise as a god,
⁷I am going to bring foreigners against you,
    the most ruthless of nations;^(J)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom^(K)
    and pierce your shining splendor.^(L)
⁸They will bring you down to the pit,^(M)
    and you will die a violent death^(N)
    in the heart of the seas.^(O)
⁹Will you then say, “I am a god,”
    in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,^(P)
    in the hands of those who slay you.^(Q)
¹⁰You will die the death of the uncircumcised^(R)
    at the hands of foreigners.

I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

¹¹The word of the Lord came to me: ¹²“Son of man, take up a lament^(S) concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘You were the seal of perfection,
    full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.^(T)
¹³You were in Eden,^(U)
    the garden of God;^(V)
every precious stone^(W) adorned you:
    carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
    topaz, onyx and jasper,
    lapis lazuli, turquoise^(X) and beryl.^[b]
Your settings and mountings^[c] were made of gold;
    on the day you were created they were prepared.^(Y)
¹⁴You were anointed^(Z) as a guardian cherub,^(AA)
    for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
    you walked among the fiery stones.
¹⁵You were blameless in your ways
    from the day you were created
    till wickedness was found in you.
¹⁶Through your widespread trade
    you were filled with violence,^(AB)
    and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
    and I expelled you, guardian cherub,^(AC)
    from among the fiery stones.
¹⁷Your heart became proud^(AD)
    on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
    because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
    I made a spectacle of you before kings.^(AE)
¹⁸By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire^(AF) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes^(AG) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.^(AH)
¹⁹All the nations who knew you
    are appalled^(AI) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.^(AJ)’”

A Prophecy Against Sidon

²⁰The word of the Lord came to me: ²¹“Son of man, set your face against^(AK) Sidon;^(AL) prophesy against her ²²and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘I am against you, Sidon,
    and among you I will display my glory.^(AM)
You will know that I am the Lord,
    when I inflict punishment^(AN) on you
    and within you am proved to be holy.^(AO)
²³I will send a plague upon you
    and make blood flow in your streets.
The slain will fall within you,
    with the sword against you on every side.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.^(AP)

²⁴“‘No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns.^(AQ) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.

²⁵“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I gather^(AR) the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered,^(AS) I will be proved holy^(AT) through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.^(AU) ²⁶They will live there in safety^(AV) and will build houses and plant^(AW) vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment^(AX) on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.^(AY)’”

Proclamation Against the King of Tyre

28 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, ²“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“Because your heart is ^(A)lifted^[a] up,
And ^(B)you say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
^(C)In the midst of the seas,’
^(D)Yet you are a man, and not a god,
Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
³(Behold, ^(E)you are wiser than Daniel!
There is no secret that can be hidden from you!
⁴With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained ^(F)riches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
⁵^(G)By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”

⁶‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
⁷Behold, therefore, I will bring ^(H)strangers against you,
^(I)The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.
⁸They shall throw you down into the ^(J)Pit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas.

⁹“Will you still ^(K)say before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you.
¹⁰You shall die the death of ^(L)the uncircumcised
By the hand of aliens;
For I have spoken,” says the Lord God.’ ”

Lamentation for the King of Tyre

¹¹Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹²“Son of man, ^(M)take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

^(N)“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
¹³You were in ^(O)Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of ^(P)your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

¹⁴“You were the anointed ^(Q)cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on ^(R)the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till ^(S)iniquity was found in you.

¹⁶“By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, ^(T)O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.

¹⁷“Your ^(U)heart was ^[b]lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.

¹⁸“You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
¹⁹All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
^(V)You have become a horror,
And shall be no ^(W)more forever.” ’ ”

Proclamation Against Sidon

²⁰Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²¹“Son of man, ^(X)set your face ^(Y)toward Sidon, and prophesy against her, ²²and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

^(Z)“Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
I will be glorified in your midst;
And ^(AA)they shall know that I am the Lord,
When I execute judgments in her and am ^(AB)hallowed in her.
²³^(AC)For I will send pestilence upon her,
And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

²⁴“And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or ^(AD)a painful thorn for the house of Israel from among all who are around them, who ^(AE)despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.”

Israel’s Future Blessing

²⁵‘Thus says the Lord God: “When I have ^(AF)gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am ^(AG)hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. ²⁶And they will ^(AH)dwell ^[c]safely there, ^(AI)build houses, and ^(AJ)plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” ’ ”
