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
The Message
Acts of Vengeance
25 1-5 God’s Message came to me:
“Son of man, face Ammon and preach against the people: Listen to the Message of God, the Master. This is what God has to say: Because you cheered when my Sanctuary was desecrated and the land of Judah was devastated and the people of Israel were taken into exile, I’m giving you over to the people of the east. They’ll move in and make themselves at home, eating the food right off your tables and drinking your milk. I’ll turn your capital, Rabbah, into pasture for camels and all your villages into corrals for flocks. Then you’ll realize that I am God.
6-7 “God, the Master, says, Because you clapped and cheered, venting all your malicious contempt against the land of Israel, I’ll step in and hand you out as loot—first come, first served. I’ll cross you off the roster of nations. There’ll be nothing left of you. And you’ll realize that I am God.”

8-11 “God, the Master, says: Because Moab said, ‘Look, Judah’s nothing special,’ I’ll lay wide open the flank of Moab by exposing its lovely frontier villages to attack: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim. I’ll lump Moab in with Ammon and give them to the people of the east for the taking. Ammon won’t be heard from again. I’ll punish Moab severely. And they’ll realize that I am God.”

12-14 “God, the Master, says: Because Edom reacted against the people of Judah in spiteful revenge and was so criminally vengeful against them, therefore I, God, the Master, will oppose Edom and kill the lot of them, people and animals both. I’ll waste it—corpses stretched from Teman to Dedan. I’ll use my people Israel to bring my vengeance down on Edom. My wrath will fuel their action. And they’ll realize it’s my vengeance. Decree of God the Master.”
* * *
15-17 “God, the Master, says: Because the Philistines were so spitefully vengeful—all those centuries of stored-up malice!—and did their best to destroy Judah, therefore I, God, the Master, will oppose the Philistines and cut down the Cretans and anybody else left along the seacoast. Huge acts of vengeance, massive punishments! When I bring vengeance, they’ll realize that I am God.”
