1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations. 4 My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations will be among you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’

5 "The Lord Yahweh says: ‘A disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it comes. 6 An end has come. The end has come! It awakes against you. Behold, it comes. 7 Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come! The day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains. 8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations. 9 My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways. Your abominations will be among you. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, strike.

10 "‘Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has gone out. The rod has blossomed. Pride has budded. 11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There will be nothing of value among them. 12 The time has come! The day draws near. Don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude. 13 For the seller won’t return to that which is sold, although they are still alive; for the vision concerns the whole multitude of it. None will return. None will strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. 14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but no one goes to the battle, for my wrath is on all its multitude.

15 "‘The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within. He who is in the field will die by the sword. He who is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence. 16 But of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity. 17 All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be weak as water. 18 They will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads. 19 They will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity. 20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made it to them as an unclean thing. 21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will profane it. 22 I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane it.

23 "‘Make chains, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned. 25 Destruction comes! They will seek peace, and there will be none. 26 Mischief will come on mischief, and rumor will be on rumor. They will seek a vision of the prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with desolation. The hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments I will judge them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’"

1 耶和华的话临到我说：

2 "人子啊！ 主耶和华对以色列地这样说： ‘终局到了！ 终局临到这地的四境了！

3 现在终局已经临到你了。我要发怒攻击你， 按着你的行为审判你， 照着你一切可憎的事报应你。

4 我的眼必不顾惜你， 我也不怜恤你， 我却要按着你的行为， 照着你中间可憎的事报应你， 你们就知道我是耶和华。’

5 主耶和华这样说： ‘看哪， 独特的灾祸， 临到了！

6 终局到了， 终局临到了， 它已经起来跟你作对。看哪， 它临到了！

7 这地的居民哪， 灾害临到你了！ 时候到了， 日子近了， 是混乱喧嚷的日子， 不是山上欢呼的日子。

8 现在我快要把我的烈怒倒在你身上， 向你完全发尽我的怒气。我要按着你的行为审判你， 照着你一切可憎的事报应你。

9 我的眼必不顾惜， 我也不怜恤。我却要按着你的行为， 照着你中间可憎的事报应你， 你们就知道击打你们的是我耶和华。

10 "‘看哪， 这日子到了！ 灾害已经发出， 杖已经开花， 狂傲已经发芽。

11 强暴兴起， 成了惩罚邪恶的杖， 他们无一存留， 他们的群众都不在了。他们的财富没有了， 他们中间也没有尊荣。

12 时候到了， 日子近了， 买的不必欢喜， 卖的不用忧愁； 因为烈怒要临到众人身上。

13 卖的人虽然还活着， 却不能得回所卖的。因为这个关乎众人的异象必不更改。因为罪孽的缘故， 没有人能保全自己的性命。

14 "‘他们吹了号角， 准备了一切， 却没有人出去作战； 因为我的烈怒要临到众人身上。

15 城外有刀剑， 城内有瘟疫和饥荒； 在田野的必死在刀下， 在城里的必被饥荒和瘟疫吞灭。

16 他们中间逃脱的， 必因自己的罪孽在山上发出哀声， 像谷中的鸽子哀鸣一样。

17 他们的手都发软， 他们的膝像水一般软弱。

18 他们必用麻布束腰， 战兢把他们遮盖， 各人的脸上满是羞愧， 各人的头上都光秃。

19 他们要把自己的银子拋在街上， 把自己的金子当作污秽之物。在耶和华发怒的日子， 他们的金银不能拯救他们， 不能满足他们的心， 也不能填满他们的肚腹， 因为这些金银都成了叫他们落在罪孽里的绊脚石。

20 他们以美丽的饰物为夸耀， 又用这些来铸造可憎可厌的偶像， 因此我要使它们成为污秽之物。

21 我要把它们交在外族人的手里作掠物， 给地上的恶人作战利品， 他们必亵渎这些东西。

22 我必转脸不看他们， 让他们亵渎我的圣所。强盗要进那里去， 亵渎那地方。

23 你要制造锁链， 因为这地满了血腥（"血腥"或译： "流血的审判"）， 这城满了强暴。

24 我要使列国中最凶恶的人来占领他们的房屋； 我要止息强盛者的骄傲， 他们的圣所都被亵渎。

25 惊恐临到， 他们就求平安， 却得不着。

26 灾祸加上灾祸， 坏消息加上坏消息， 不绝而来， 他们要向先知求异象， 但是， 祭司的教训、长老的指导， 都必断绝，

27 君王要悲哀， 官长要把凄凉当作衣服穿上， 那地人民的手都要发颤。我要按着他们的行为待他们， 按着他们审判的法则审判他们， 他们就知道我是耶和华。’"
