Ezekiel 14

1 Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down before me.

1 那时，几位以色列的长老到我这里来，坐在我面前。

2 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 耶和华对我说：

3 “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?

3 “人子啊，这些人在心里立起偶像，把导致犯罪的绊脚石放在自己面前，我岂能让他们来求问？

4 Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,

4 你告诉他们，主耶和华这样说，‘任何以色列人若在心里立起偶像，把导致犯罪的绊脚石放在自己面前，又来求问先知，我耶和华必按他心中偶像的数目亲自用惩罚回答他，

5 so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’

5 好夺回以色列人的心，他们都因为拜偶像而远离我。’

6 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations.

6 “因此，你要告诉以色列人，主耶和华这样说，‘你们要悔改，离弃你们的偶像，离弃一切可憎之事。

7 For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.

7 因为任何以色列人或是在以色列定居的外族人若背弃我，在心中树立偶像，把导致犯罪的绊脚石放在自己面前，又来向先知求问我的旨意，我耶和华必亲自用惩罚回答他。

8 I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

8 我必严惩他，使他成为众人的鉴戒和笑柄。我必将他从我的子民中铲除。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。

9 But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.

9 如果先知受迷惑说预言，那是我耶和华任他受迷惑，我必伸手惩治他，把他从我的以色列百姓中除灭。

10 They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—

10 他们必担当自己的罪过，假先知与求问的人要担当同样的罪过。

11 in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”

11 这样，以色列人便不再偏离我，不再犯罪玷污自己。他们要做我的子民，我要做他们的上帝。这是主耶和华说的。’”

12 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

12 耶和华对我说：

13 “Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,

13 “人子啊，若有国家犯罪背叛我，我必伸手断绝他们的粮源，使饥荒遍地，毁灭人和牲畜。

14 then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.

14 即使挪亚、但以理和约伯三人在那里，他们也只能因义行而自己得救。这是主耶和华说的。

15 Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,

15 倘若我使猛兽在那里横行、肆虐，以致那里荒凉、人踪绝迹，

16 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.

16 纵然这三个义人在那里，我凭我的永恒起誓，他们也不能救自己的儿女，只能自己得救，那里却要荒凉。这是主耶和华说的。

17 Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,

17 倘若我使刀剑临到那里，让刀剑横扫那里，毁灭人和牲畜，

18 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.

18 纵然这三个义人在那里，我凭我的永恒起誓，他们也不能救自己的儿女，只能自己得救。这是主耶和华说的。

19 Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,

19 倘若我叫瘟疫在那里肆虐，在杀戮中倾倒我的烈怒，毁灭那里的人和牲畜，

20 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.

20 纵然挪亚、但以理和约伯在那里，我凭我的永恒起誓，他们也不能救自己的儿女，只能因义行而自己得救。这是主耶和华说的。

21 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?

21 “主耶和华说，‘我要把刀剑、饥荒、猛兽和瘟疫这四大刑罚降在耶路撒冷，毁灭人和牲畜。

22 Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.

22 然而，其中仍有幸免的人带着儿女逃出来。他们会逃到你们这里，你们看见他们的所作所为，便会对我在耶路撒冷所降的一切灾难感到欣慰。

23 They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

23 你们看见他们的所作所为，就知道我不是无缘无故地惩罚耶路撒冷。’这是主耶和华说的。”
