以西结书 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
预言审判外族人
25 耶和华对我说: 2 “人子啊,你要面向亚扪人,说预言斥责他们, 3 告诉他们要听主耶和华的话。主耶和华说,‘当我的圣所被亵渎,以色列变得荒凉,犹大人被掳的时候,你们竟然哈哈而乐。 4 所以我要使东方人侵占你们的地方。他们必在你们的土地上安营扎寨,吃你们出产的果子,喝你们牛羊的奶。 5 我要使拉巴成为骆驼的草场,使亚扪人的土地变成羊群歇息之处,这样你们便知道我是耶和华。
6 “主耶和华说,‘你们看到以色列的灾祸,便幸灾乐祸,手舞足蹈。 7 因此,我要伸手攻击你们,使你们成为各国的俘虏。我必从万民中铲除你们,从万国中消灭你们,使你们灭绝。这样,你们就知道我是耶和华。’
斥责摩押
8 “耶和华说,‘摩押和西珥嘲笑犹大与其他各国没有两样。 9 所以我要攻陷摩押边界的城邑,就是那地方引以为荣的伯·耶西末、巴力·免和基列亭。 10 我要将它和亚扪人一起交给东方人统治,使亚扪人从此被列国遗忘。 11 我必审判摩押人,这样他们就知道我是耶和华。’
斥责以东
12 “耶和华说,‘因为以东报复犹大,犯了大罪。 13 所以,我要伸手攻击以东,铲除那里的人和牲畜,使地荒废,从提幔直到底但的以东人要倒在刀下。 14 我要借我以色列子民的手向以东报仇。以色列人会照我的烈怒惩罚他们。那时,他们就会尝到我报应他们的滋味,这是主耶和华说的。’
斥责非利士
15 “主耶和华说,‘非利士人心存仇恨,为了报世仇要毁灭犹大, 16 所以我必伸手攻击他们,铲除基利提人,毁灭沿海残余的人。 17 我要报应他们,发烈怒惩罚他们。我报应他们的时候,他们就知道我是耶和华。’”
Ezekiel 25
Common English Bible
Against the neighboring nations
25 The Lord’s word came to me: 2 Human one, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them. 3 Say to the Ammonites: Hear the Lord God’s word! The Lord God proclaims: You laughed when my sanctuary was degraded, when Israel’s fertile land was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile; 4 therefore, I’m handing you over to people in the east for them to take possession. They will set up their encampments against you, establish residence, devour your fruit, and drink your milk. 5 I’ll make Rabbah into pastureland for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
6 The Lord God proclaims: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet when you rejoiced with utter contempt for Israel’s fertile land, 7 I’m about to overpower you. Nations will plunder you. I will cut you off from the peoples, remove you from the lands, and utterly destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
8 The Lord God proclaims: Because Moab and Seir say, “Aha! The house of Judah has become like all the nations,” 9 I’ll open up the flank of Moab from the cities at its border, the land’s splendid cities, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim. 10 I’ll hand it over, along with the Ammonites, to people in the east for them to take possession. And so Ammon will no longer be remembered among the nations. 11 I’ll execute judgments in Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.
12 The Lord God proclaims: Edom acted with excessive force against the house of Judah. The Judeans were guilty, but Edom’s vengeance was excessive. 13 So the Lord God now proclaims: I’ll overpower Edom, eliminate all living creatures, and make it a wasteland from Teman to Dedan. They will fall by the sword. 14 I will execute my vengeance in Edom through my people Israel’s power. They will act in Edom according to my anger and fury, and they will know my vengeance. This is what the Lord God says.
15 The Lord God proclaims: When the Philistines set out to right the wrongs done to them, they enacted revenge with utter contempt and old hatreds. 16 So now the Lord God proclaims: I will overpower the Philistines, eliminate the Cherethites, and obliterate all who are left along the coastline. 17 I will act against them with great vengeance and with wrathful punishments. When I execute my vengeance against them, they will know that I am the Lord.
