以西結書 Ezekiel

14:1	[hb5]	有幾個以色列長老到我這裡來、坐在我面前。
	[kjv]	Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
	[bbe]	Then certain of the responsible men of Israel came to me and took their seats before me.
14:2	[hb5]	耶和華的話就臨到我說、
	[kjv]	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
	[bbe]	And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
14:3	[hb5]	人子阿、這些人已將他們的假神接到心裡、把陷於罪的絆腳石放在面前、我豈能絲毫被他們求問麼。
	[kjv]	Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
	[bbe]	Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?
14:4	[hb5]	所以你要告訴他們、主耶和華如此說、以色列家的人中、凡將他的假神接到心裡、把陷於罪的絆腳石放在面前、又就了先知來的、我耶和華在他所求的事上、必按他眾多的假神回答他、〔或作必按他拜許多假神的罪報應他〕
	[kjv]	Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
	[bbe]	For this cause say to them, These are the words of the Lord: Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart, and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, and comes to the prophet; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods;
14:5	[hb5]	好在以色列家的心事上捉住他們、因為他們都藉著假神與我生疏。
	[kjv]	That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
	[bbe]	So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.
14:6	[hb5]	所以你要告訴以色列家說、主耶和華如此說、回頭罷、離開你們的偶像、轉臉莫從你們一切可憎的事．
	[kjv]	Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
	[bbe]	For this cause say to the children of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things.
14:7	[hb5]	因為以色列家的人、或在以色列中寄居的外人、凡與我隔絕、將他的假神接到心裡、把陷於罪的絆腳石放在面前、又就了先知來要為自己的事求問我的、我耶和華必親自回答他．
	[kjv]	For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
	[bbe]	When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:
14:8	[hb5]	我必向那人變臉、使他作了警戒、笑談、令人驚駭、並且我要將他從我民中剪除．你們就知道我是耶和華。
	[kjv]	And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
	[bbe]	And my face will be turned against that man, and I will make him a sign and a common saying, cutting him off from among my people; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
14:9	[hb5]	先知若被迷惑說一句預言、是我耶和華任那先知受迷惑、我也必向他伸手、將他從我民以色列中除滅。
	[kjv]	And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
	[bbe]	And if the prophet, tricked by deceit, says anything, it is I the Lord by whom he has been tricked, and I will put out my hand against him, and he will be cut off from among my people Israel.
14:10	[hb5]	他們必擔當自己的罪孽、先知的罪孽、和求問之人的罪孽、都是一樣．
	[kjv]	And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
	[bbe]	And the punishment of their sin will be on them: the sin of the prophet will be the same as the sin of him who goes to him for directions;
14:11	[hb5]	好使以色列家不再走迷離開我、不再因各樣的罪過玷污自己、只要作我的子民、我作他們的　神．這是主耶和華說的。
	[kjv]	That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
	[bbe]	So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
14:12	[hb5]	耶和華的話臨到我說、
	[kjv]	The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
	[bbe]	And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
14:13	[hb5]	人子阿、若有一國犯罪干犯我、我也向他伸手折斷他們的杖、就是斷絕他們的糧、使飢荒臨到那地、將人與牲畜從其中剪除。
	[kjv]	Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
	[bbe]	Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:
14:14	[hb5]	其中雖有挪亞、但以理、約伯這三人、他們只能因他們的義救自己的性命．這是主耶和華說的。
	[kjv]	Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
	[bbe]	Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, only themselves would they keep safe by their righteousness, says the Lord.
14:15	[hb5]	我若使惡獸經過糟踐那地、使地荒涼、以致因這些獸、人都不得經過．
	[kjv]	If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
	[bbe]	Or if I send evil beasts through the land causing destruction and making it waste, so that no man may go through because of the beasts:
14:16	[hb5]	雖有這三人在其中、主耶和華說、我指著我的永生起誓、他們連兒帶女都不能得救、只能自己得救、那地仍然荒涼。
	[kjv]	Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
	[bbe]	Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.
14:17	[hb5]	或者我使刀劍臨到那地、說、刀劍哪、要經過那地、以致我將人與牲畜從其中剪除．
	[kjv]	Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
	[bbe]	Or if I send a sword against that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, cutting off from it man and beast:
14:18	[hb5]	雖有這三人在其中、主耶和華說、我指著我的永生起誓、他們連兒帶女都不能得救、只能自己得救。
	[kjv]	Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
	[bbe]	Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.
14:19	[hb5]	或者我叫瘟疫流行那地、使我滅命〔原文作帶血〕的忿怒傾在其上、好將人與牲畜從其中剪除．
	[kjv]	Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
	[bbe]	Or if I send disease into that land, letting loose my wrath on it in blood, cutting off from it man and beast:
14:20	[hb5]	雖有挪亞、但以理、約伯在其中、主耶和華說、我指著我的永生起誓、他們連兒帶女都不能救、只能因他們的義救自己的性命。
	[kjv]	Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
	[bbe]	Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep son or daughter safe; only themselves would they keep safe through their righteousness.
14:21	[hb5]	主耶和華如此說、我將這四樣大災、就是刀劍、飢荒、惡獸、瘟疫、降在耶路撒冷、將人與牲畜從其中剪除、豈不更重麼。
	[kjv]	For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
	[bbe]	For this is what the Lord has said: How much more when I send my four bitter punishments on Jerusalem, the sword and need of food and evil beasts and disease, cutting off from it man and beast?
14:22	[hb5]	然而其中必有剩下的人、他們連兒帶女必帶到你們這裡來、你們看見他們所行所為的、要因我降給耶路撒冷的一切災禍、便得了安慰。
	[kjv]	Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
	[bbe]	But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.
14:23	[hb5]	你們看見他們所行所為的、得了安慰、就知道我在耶路撒冷中所行的、並非無故．這是主耶和華說的。
	[kjv]	And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
	[bbe]	They will give you comfort when you see their ways and their doings: and you will be certain that not for nothing have I done all the things I have done in it, says the Lord.
