攻擊亞捫人

¹耶和華的話臨到我說：Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

²「人子啊，你要面向亞捫人說預言，攻擊他們，“Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

³說：你們當聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華如此說：我的聖所被褻瀆，以色列地變荒涼，猶大家被擄掠；那時，你便因這些事說：『阿哈！』Tell the Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you exclaimed, “Aha!” when My sanctuary was profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,

⁴所以我必將你的地交給東方人為業；他們必在你的地上安營居住，吃你的果子，喝你的奶。therefore I will indeed give you as a possession to the people of the East. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

⁵我必使拉巴為駱駝場，使亞捫人的地為羊群躺臥之處，你們就知道我是耶和華。」I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

⁶主耶和華如此說：「因你拍手頓足，以滿心的恨惡向以色列地歡喜，For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,

⁷所以我伸手攻擊你，將你交給列國作為擄物。我必從萬民中剪除你，使你從萬國中敗亡。我必除滅你，你就知道我是耶和華。」therefore I will indeed stretch out My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’

攻擊摩押

⁸主耶和華如此說：「因摩押和西珥人說：『看哪，猶大家與列國無異』，This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”

⁹所以我要破開摩押邊界上的城邑，就是摩押人看為本國之榮耀的伯‧耶西末、巴力‧免、基列亭，therefore I will indeed expose the flank of Moab beginning with its frontier cities—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—the glory of the land.

¹⁰好使東方人來攻擊亞捫人。我必將亞捫人之地交給他們為業，使亞捫人在列國中不再被記念。I will give it along with the Ammonites as a possession to the people of the East, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.

¹¹我必向摩押施行審判，他們就知道我是耶和華。」So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’

攻擊以東

¹²主耶和華如此說：「因為以東報仇雪恨，攻擊猶大家，向他們報仇，大大有罪，This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,

¹³所以主耶和華如此說：我必伸手攻擊以東，剪除人與牲畜，使以東從提幔起，人必倒在刀下，地要變為荒涼，直到底但。therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

¹⁴我必藉我民以色列的手報復以東；以色列民必照我的怒氣，按我的忿怒在以東施報，以東人就知道是我施報。這是主耶和華說的。」I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’

攻擊非利士人

¹⁵主耶和華如此說：「因非利士人向猶大人報仇，就是以恨惡的心報仇雪恨，永懷仇恨，要毀滅他們，This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance, taking vengeance with malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,

¹⁶所以主耶和華如此說：我必伸手攻擊非利士人，剪除基利提人，滅絕沿海剩下的居民。therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant along the coast.

¹⁷我向他們大施報應，發怒斥責他們。我報復他們的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。」I will execute great vengeance against them with furious reproof. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay My vengeance upon them.’”

泰爾必成為曬網之處

¹第十一年十一月初一日，耶和華的話臨到我說：In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

²「人子啊，因泰爾向耶路撒冷說：『阿哈，那作眾民之門的已經破壞，向我開放；她既變為荒場，我必豐盛。』“Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’

³所以，主耶和華如此說：泰爾啊，我必與你為敵，使許多國民上來攻擊你，如同海使波浪湧上來一樣。therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

⁴他們必破壞泰爾的牆垣，拆毀她的城樓。我也要刮淨塵土，使她成為淨光的磐石。They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.

⁵她必在海中作曬網的地方，也必成為列國的擄物。這是主耶和華說的。She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,

⁶屬泰爾城邑的居民（原文是田間的眾女；八節同）必被刀劍殺滅，他們就知道我是耶和華。and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’

尼布甲尼撒來攻

⁷主耶和華如此說：「我必使諸王之王的巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領馬匹車輛、馬兵、軍隊，和許多人民從北方來攻擊你泰爾。For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.

⁸他必用刀劍殺滅屬你城邑的居民，也必造臺築壘舉盾牌攻擊你。He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.

⁹他必安設撞城錘攻破你的牆垣，用鐵器拆毀你的城樓。He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.

¹⁰因他的馬匹眾多，塵土揚起遮蔽你。他進入你的城門，好像人進入已有破口之城。那時，你的牆垣必因騎馬的和戰車、輜重車的響聲震動。His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.

¹¹他的馬蹄必踐踏你一切的街道，他必用刀殺戮你的居民；你堅固的柱子（或譯：柱像）必倒在地上。The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.

¹²人必以你的財寶為擄物，以你的貨財為掠物，破壞你的牆垣，拆毀你華美的房屋，將你的石頭、木頭、塵土都拋在水中。They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.

¹³我必使你唱歌的聲音止息，人也不再聽見你彈琴的聲音。So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.

¹⁴我必使你成為淨光的磐石，作曬網的地方；你不得再被建造，因為這是主耶和華說的。」I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’

靠海的君王為她哀哭

¹⁵主耶和華對泰爾如此說：「在你中間行殺戮，受傷之人唉哼的時候，因你傾倒的響聲，海島豈不都震動嗎？This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?

¹⁶那時靠海的君王必都下位，除去朝服，脫下花衣，披上戰兢，坐在地上，時刻發抖，為你驚駭。All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.

¹⁷他們必為你作起哀歌說：你這有名之城，素為航海之人居住，在海上為最堅固的；平日你和居民使一切住在那裡的人無不驚恐；現在何竟毀滅了？Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men—she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!

¹⁸如今在你這傾覆的日子，海島都必戰兢；海中的群島見你歸於無有就都驚惶。」Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’

¹⁹主耶和華如此說：「泰爾啊，我使你變為荒涼，如無人居住的城邑；又使深水漫過你，大水淹沒你。For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,

²⁰那時，我要叫你下入陰府，與古時的人一同在地的深處、久已荒涼之地居住，使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之地顯榮耀（我也……榮耀：或譯在活人之地不再有榮耀）。then I will bring you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living.

²¹我必叫你令人驚恐，不再存留於世；人雖尋找你，卻永尋不見。這是主耶和華說的。」I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

泰爾像華美的大船

¹耶和華的話又臨到我說：Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

²「人子啊，要為泰爾作起哀歌，“Now you, son of man, take up a lament for Tyre.

³說：你居住海口，是眾民的商埠；你的交易通到許多的海島。主耶和華如此說：泰爾啊，你曾說：我是全然美麗的。Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

⁴你的境界在海中，造你的使你全然美麗。Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty.

⁷你的篷帆是用埃及繡花細麻布做的，可以做你的大旗；你的涼棚是用以利沙島的藍色、紫色布做的。Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning.

⁸西頓和亞發的居民作你盪槳的。泰爾啊，你中間的智慧人作掌舵的。The men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your men of skill, O Tyre, were there as your captains.

⁹迦巴勒的老者和聰明人都在你中間作補縫的；一切泛海的船隻和水手都在你中間經營交易的事。The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights, repairing your leaks. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to barter for your merchandise.

¹⁰「波斯人、路德人、弗人在你軍營中作戰士；他們在你中間懸掛盾牌和頭盔，彰顯你的尊榮。Men of Persia, Lydia, and Put served as warriors in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls; they gave you splendor.

¹¹亞發人和你的軍隊都在你四圍的牆上，你的望樓也有勇士；他們懸掛盾牌，成全你的美麗。Men of Arvad and Helech manned your walls all around, and the men of Gammad were in your towers. They hung their shields around your walls; they perfected your beauty.

各國與泰爾交易

¹²「他施人因你多有各類的財物，就作你的客商，拿銀、鐵、錫、鉛兌換你的貨物。Tarshish was your merchant because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares.

大船沉在海中

²⁶盪槳的已經把你盪到大水之處，東風在海中將你打破。Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.

²⁷你的資財、物件、貨物、水手、掌舵的、補縫的、經營交易的，並你中間的戰士和人民，在你破壞的日子必都沉在海中。Your wealth, wares, and merchandise, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.

³³你由海上運出貨物，就使許多國民充足；你以許多資財、貨物使地上的君王豐富。When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.

³⁴你在深水中被海浪打破的時候，你的貨物和你中間的一切人民，就都沉下去了。Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.

³⁵海島的居民為你驚奇；他們的君王都甚恐慌，面帶愁容。All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.

³⁶各國民中的客商都向你發嘶聲；你令人驚恐，不再存留於世，直到永遠。」Those who trade among the nations hiss at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

泰爾君王自比神

¹耶和華的話又臨到我說：And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

²「人子啊，你對泰爾君王說，主耶和華如此說：因你心裡高傲，說：我是神；我在海中坐神之位。你雖然居心自比神，也不過是人，並不是神！“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

³看哪，你比但以理更有智慧，甚麼祕事都不能向你隱藏。Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!

⁴你靠自己的智慧聰明得了金銀財寶，收入庫中。By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries.

⁵你靠自己的大智慧和貿易增添資財，又因資財心裡高傲。By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.

⁶「所以主耶和華如此說：因你居心自比神，Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,

⁷我必使外邦人，就是列國中的強暴人臨到你這裡；他們必拔刀砍壞你用智慧得來的美物，褻瀆你的榮光。behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.

⁸他們必使你下坑；你必死在海中，與被殺的人一樣。They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

⁹在殺你的人面前你還能說「我是　神」嗎？其實你在殺害你的人手中，不過是人，並不是神。Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.

¹⁰你必死在外邦人手中，與未受割禮（或譯：不潔；下同）的人一樣，因為這是主耶和華說的。」You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”

為泰爾王作的哀歌

¹¹耶和華的話臨到我說：Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹²「人子啊，你為泰爾王作起哀歌，說主耶和華如此說：你無所不備，智慧充足，全然美麗。“Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

¹³你曾在伊甸　神的園中，佩戴各樣寶石，就是紅寶石、紅璧璽、金鋼石、水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉、藍寶石、綠寶石、紅玉，和黃金；又有精美的鼓笛在你那裡，都是在你受造之日預備齊全的。You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

¹⁴你是那受膏遮掩約櫃的基路伯；我將你安置在　神的聖山上；你在發光如火的寶石中間往來。You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.

¹⁵你從受造之日所行的都完全，後來在你中間又察出不義。From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you.

¹⁶因你貿易很多，就被強暴的事充滿，以致犯罪，所以我因你褻瀆聖地，就從　神的山驅逐你。遮掩約櫃的基路伯啊，我已將你從發光如火的寶石中除滅。By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

¹⁷你因美麗心中高傲，又因榮光敗壞智慧，我已將你摔倒在地，使你倒在君王面前，好叫他們目睹眼見。Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.

¹⁸你因罪孽眾多，貿易不公，就褻瀆你那裡的聖所。故此，我使火從你中間發出，燒滅你，使你在所有觀看的人眼前變為地上的爐灰。By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

¹⁹各國民中，凡認識你的，都必為你驚奇。你令人驚恐，不再存留於世，直到永遠。」All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

約束你們的心

¹³所以要約束你們的心（原文是束上你們心中的腰），謹慎自守，專心盼望耶穌基督顯現的時候所帶來給你們的恩。Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁴你們既作順命的兒女，就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.

你們要聖潔

¹⁵那召你們的既是聖潔，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔。But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,

¹⁶因為經上記著說：「你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。」for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

憑基督的寶血得贖

¹⁷你們既稱那不偏待人、按各人行為審判人的主為父，就當存敬畏的心度你們在世寄居的日子，Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.

¹⁸知道你們得贖，脫去你們祖宗所傳流虛妄的行為，不是憑著能壞的金銀等物，For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

¹⁹乃是憑著基督的寶血，如同無瑕疵、無玷污的羔羊之血。but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.

²⁰基督在創世以前是預先被　神知道的，卻在這末世才為你們顯現。He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.

²¹你們也因著他，信那叫他從死裡復活、又給他榮耀的　神，叫你們的信心和盼望都在於　神。Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.

彼此切實相愛

²²你們既因順從真理，潔淨了自己的心，以致愛弟兄沒有虛假，就當從心裡（從心裡：有古卷是從清潔的心）彼此切實相愛。Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

²³你們蒙了重生，不是由於能壞的種子，乃是由於不能壞的種子，是藉著　神活潑常存的道。For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

主的道永存

²⁴因為凡有血氣的，盡都如草；他的美榮都像草上的花。草必枯乾，花必凋謝；For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

²⁵惟有主的道是永存的。所傳給你們的福音就是這道。but the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
