以西结书 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
拜偶像者遭诛灭
9 我听见祂高声呼喊说：“惩罚这城的人啊，拿起你们的兵器上前来吧！” 2 只见六个人从北门走来，手中都拿着可怕的兵器。其中有一人身穿细麻衣，腰间带着墨盒。他们进入殿里，站在铜祭坛旁边。
3 以色列上帝的荣耀原本在基路伯天使上，现在升到了殿门口。上帝把那身穿细麻衣、腰带墨盒的人召来， 4 对他说：“你去走遍耶路撒冷，在那些因城中可憎之事而叹息哀伤的人额上画个记号。” 5 我听见祂对其余的人说：“你们要跟随他走遍全城，毫不留情地杀戮， 6 将男女老幼全部杀尽，但你们不能伤害额上有记号的。你们要从圣所开始。”于是他们首先杀了殿前的众长老。 7 祂又对他们说：“要玷污这殿，把你们所杀的堆满整个院子。去吧！”他们便出去，在城中杀戮。 8 那时，只留下我一个人，我便俯伏在地上呼求：“唉，主耶和华啊！你向耶路撒冷倾倒你的烈怒，要灭绝以色列所有的余民吗？”
9 祂回答说：“以色列和犹大人罪大恶极，遍地是血腥，满城是冤屈，他们说，‘耶和华丢弃了这片土地，祂看不见我们。’ 10 因此，我必不顾惜他们，也不怜悯他们，我必照他们的所作所为报应他们。”
11 那个身穿细麻衣，腰带墨盒的人回来禀告说：“我已照你的吩咐做了。”

The Vision of the Executioners
9 Then the Spirit[a] shouted right in my ears with a loud voice! “Come forward,” he said, “you executioners of the city, and bring your weapon of destruction in your[b] hand!”
2 All of a sudden, I noticed six men approaching from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north. Each of them held a destructive weapon in his hand. Among them there was one man, clothed in linen, who was equipped with a writing set[c] at his side. They went in and presented themselves beside the bronze altar. 3 Then the glory that is Israel’s God arose from the cherubim on which he had been seated and settled on the threshold of the Temple. He called out to the man dressed in linen who wore the writing case at his side.
4 The Lord told him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of everyone who sighs and moans over all of the loathsome things that are happening in it.”
5 As I continued to listen, he also told the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing. Don’t spare anyone you see, and don’t show pity of any kind. 6 You are to execute old men, young men, young women, little children, and women. But don’t touch anyone who has been marked. Begin at my Holy Place!” And so they started with the elders who were in standing in front of the Temple.
7 “Desecrate my Temple,” he told them, “and fill its courtyard with the dead!” So they went out and began striking down people throughout the city.
Ezekiel Intercedes for Israel
8 While they were out carrying out the executions, I was left alone. So I fell on my face and cried out, “O Lord God, are you going to destroy all of the survivors of Israel when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem?”
9 “The house of Israel and Judah is guilty—and theirs is a stubborn guilt, at that!” he replied to me. “The land is filled with blood, and the city overflows with injustice, because they keep saying, ‘The Lord has abandoned the land,’ and ‘The Lord isn’t watching.’ 10 So as for me, I’m not going to show pity, and I won’t look in their direction with mercy. I’m repaying them for what they have done.”
11 Then I noticed the man dressed in linen who wore the writing case by his side as he brought back this message: “I’ve done as you have commanded me.”

Idolaters Killed
9 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Bring near the executioners of the city, (A)each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of (B)the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was (C)a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside (D)the bronze altar.
3 Now (E)the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to (F)the threshold of the house. And he called to (G)the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and (H)put a mark on the foreheads of the men who (I)sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” 5 And to (J)the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. (K)Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 (L)Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but (M)touch no one on whom is the mark. And (N)begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. 7 Then he said to them, (O)“Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.” So they went out and struck in the city. 8 And while they were striking, and I was left alone, (P)I fell upon my face, and cried, (Q)“Ah, Lord God! (R)Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel (S)in the outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Then he said to me, (T)“The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. (U)The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For (V)they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.’ 10 As for me, (W)my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; (X)I will bring their deeds upon their heads.”
11 And behold, (Y)the man clothed in linen, with the writing case at his waist, brought back word, saying, “I have done as you commanded me.”
