에스겔 22

1여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대 2인자야 네가 국문하려느냐 이 피 흘린 성읍을 국문하려느냐 그리하려거든 자기의 모든 가증한 일을 그들로 알게 하라 3너는 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 자기 가운데 피를 흘려 벌 받을 때로 이르게 하며 우상을 만들어 스스로 더럽히는 성아 4네가 흘린 피로 인하여 죄가 있고 네가 만든 우상으로 인하여 스스로 더럽혔으니 네 날이 가까웠고 네 연한이 찼도다 그러므로 내가 너로 이방의 능욕을 받으며 만국의 조롱거리가 되게 하였노라 5너 이름이 더럽고 어지러움이 많은 자여 가까운 자나 먼 자나 다 너를 조롱하리라 6이스라엘 모든 방백은 각기 권세대로 피를 흘리려고 네 가운데 있었도다 7그들이 네 가운데서 부모를 업신여겼으며 네 가운데서 나그네를 학대하였으며 네 가운데서 고아와 과부를 해하였도다 8너는 나의 성물들을 업신여겼으며 나의 안식일을 더럽혔으며 9네 가운데 피를 흘리려고 이간을 붙이는 자도 있었으며 네 가운데 산 위에서 제물을 먹는 자도 있었으며 네 가운데 음란하는 자도 있었으며 10네 가운데 자기 아비의 하체를 드러내는 자도 있었으며 네 가운데 월경하는 부정한 여인에게 구합하는 자도 있었으며 11혹은 그 이웃의 아내와 가증한 일을 행하였으며 혹은 그 며느리를 더럽혀 음행하였으며 네 가운데 혹은 그 자매 곧 아비의 딸과 구합하였으며 12네 가운데 피를 흘리려고 뇌물을 받는 자도 있었으며 네가 변전과 이식을 취하였으며 이를 탐하여 이웃에게 토색하였으며 나를 잊어버렸도다 나 주 여호와의 말이니라 13너의 불의를 행하여 이를 얻은 일과 네 가운데 피 흘린 일을 인하여 내가 손뼉을 쳤나니 14내가 네게 보응하는 날에 네 마음이 견디겠느냐 네 손이 힘이 있겠느냐 나 여호와가 말하였으니 이룰지라 15내가 너를 열국 중에 흩으며 각 나라에 헤치고 너의 더러운 것을 네 가운데서 멸하리라 16네가 자기 까닭으로 열국의 목전에서 수치를 당하리니 나를 여호와인 줄 알리라 하셨다 하라 17여호와의 말씀이 내게 임하여 가라사대 18인자야 이스라엘 족속이 내게 찌끼가 되었나니 곧 풀무 가운데 있는 놋이나 상납이나 철이나 납이며 은의 찌끼로다 19그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 너희가 다 찌끼가 되었은즉 내가 너희를 예루살렘 가운데로 모으고 20사람이 은이나 놋이나 철이나 납이나 상납이나 모아서 풀무 속에 넣고 불을 불어 녹이는 것 같이 내가 노와 분으로 너희를 모아 거기 두고 녹일지라 21내가 너희를 모으고 내 분노의 불을 너희에게 분즉 너희가 그 가운데서 녹되 22은이 풀무 가운데서 녹는 것 같이 너희가 그 가운데서 녹으리니 나 여호와가 분노를 너희 위에 쏟은 줄을 너희가 알리라 23여호와의 말씀이 네게 임하여 가라사대 24인자야 너는 그에게 이르기를 너는 정결함을 얻지 못한 땅이요 진노의 날에 비를 얻지 못한 땅이로다 하라 25그 가운데서 선지자들의 배역함이 우는 사자가 식물을 움킴 같았도다 그들이 사람의 영혼을 삼켰으며 전재와 보물을 탈취하며 과부로 그 가운데 많게 하였으며 26그 제사장들은 내 율법을 범하였으며 나의 성물을 더럽혔으며 거룩함과 속된 것을 분변치 아니하였으며 부정함과 정한 것을 사람으로 분변하게 하지 아니하였으며 그 눈을 가리워 나의 안식일을 보지 아니하였으므로 내가 그 가운데서 더럽힘을 받았느니라 27그 가운데 그 방백들은 식물을 삼키는 이리 같아서 불의의 이를 취하려고 피를 흘려 영혼을 멸하거늘 28그 선지자들이 그들을 위하여 회를 칠하고 스스로 허탄한 이상을 보며 거짓 복술을 행하며 여호와가 말하지 아니하였어도 주 여호와의 말씀이라 하였으며 29이 땅 백성은 강포하며 늑탈하여 가난하고 궁핍한 자를 압제하였으며 우거한 자를 불법하게 학대하였으므로 30이 땅을 위하여 성을 쌓으며 성 무너진 데를 막아서서 나로 멸하지 못하게 할 사람을 내가 그 가운데서 찾다가 얻지 못한고로 31내가 내 분으로 그 위에 쏟으며 내 진노의 불로 멸하여 그 행위대로 그 머리에 보응하였느니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라

1Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 3You shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her! 4You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult. 6Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. 7In you have they set light by father and mother; in your midst have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths. 9Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in your midst they have committed lewdness. 10In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity. 11One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. 12In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord Yahweh. 13Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in your midst. 14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it. 15I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you. 16You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 17Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 18Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver. 19Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you. 21Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you. 23Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 24Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation. 25There is a conspiracy of her prophets in its midst, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst. 26Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. 28Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh has not spoken. 29The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully. 30I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 31Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.

1Verder geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 2Gij nu, mensenkind, zoudt gij der bloedstad recht geven? Zoudt gij ze recht geven? Ja, maak haar bekend al haar gruwelen. 3En zeg: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: O stad, die in haar midden bloed vergiet, opdat haar tijd kome, en drekgoden tegen zichzelve maakt, om zich te verontreinigen! 4Door uw bloed, dat gij vergoten hebt, zijt gij schuldig geworden, en met uw drekgoden, die gij gemaakt hebt, hebt gij u verontreinigd, en hebt uw dagen doen naderen, en zijt tot uw jaren gekomen; daarom heb Ik u den heidenen overgegeven tot een smaad, en allen landen tot een spot. 5Die nabij en verre van u zijn, zullen u bespotten, gij onreine van naam en vol van onrust! 6Ziet, de vorsten Israels zijn in u geweest, een ieder naar zijn kracht, om bloed te vergieten. 7Vader en moeder hebben zij in u licht geacht; met den vreemdeling hebben zij in het midden van u door verdrukking gehandeld; zij hebben in u den wees en de weduwe verdrukt. 8Mijn heilige dingen hebt gij veracht, en Mijn sabbatten hebt gij ontheiligd. 9Achterklappers zijn in u geweest om bloed te vergieten, en in u hebben zij op de bergen gegeten, zij hebben schandelijkheid in het midden van u gedaan. 10Men heeft de schaamte des vaders in u ontdekt; die onrein was door afzondering, hebben zij in u verkracht. 11Daartoe heeft de een gruwel gedaan met zijns naasten huisvrouw, en een ander heeft zijns zoons vrouw met schandelijkheid verontreinigd; nog een ander heeft in u zijn zuster, zijns vaders dochter; verkracht. 12Zij hebben geschenken in u genomen, om bloed te vergieten; woeker en overwinst hebt gij genomen, en gij hebt gierigheid gepleegd aan uw naaste door verdrukking; maar gij hebt Mijner vergeten, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 13Ziet dan, Ik heb Mijn hand geslagen, om uw gierigheid, die gij bedreven hebt, en om uw bloed, die in het midden van u geweest zijn. 14Zal uw hart bestaan? zullen uw handen sterk zijn, in de dagen, als Ik met u handelen zal? Ik, de HEERE, heb het gesproken, en zal het doen. 15En Ik zal u verstrooien onder de heidenen, en u verspreiden in de landen, en uw ontreinigheid uit u verteren. 16Zo zult gij in u ontheiligd zijn voor de ogen der heidenen; en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 17Wijders geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 18Mensenkind, die van het huis Israels zijn Mij tot schuim geworden; zij zijn allen koper, of tin, of ijzer, of lood, in het midden des ovens; zilverschuim zijn zij geworden. 19Daarom, alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Omdat gijlieden allen tot schuim geworden zijt, daarom ziet, Ik zal u in het midden van Jeruzalem vergaderen. 20Gelijk zilver, of koper, of ijzer, of lood, of tin in het midden eens ovens vergaderd wordt, om het vuur daarover op te blazen, opdat men het smelte; alzo zal Ik ulieden vergaderen in Mijn toorn, en in Mijn grimmigheid daar laten, en smelten. 21Ja, Ik zal u bijeenbrengen, en zal op u blazen in het vuur Mijner verbolgenheid, dat gij in het midden van haar zult gesmolten worden. 22Gelijk het zilver in het midden des ovens gesmolten wordt, alzo zult gijlieden in het midden van haar gesmolten worden; en gij zult weten, dat Ik, de HEERE, Mijn grimmigheid over u uitgegoten heb. 23Voorts geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 24Mensenkind, zeg tot haar; Gij zijt een land, dat niet gereinigd is, dat zijn plasregen niet heeft gehad ten dage der gramschap. 25De verbintenis harer profeten is in het midden van haar als een brullende leeuw, die een roof rooft; zij eten de zielen op, den schat en het kostelijke nemen zij weg; haar weduwen vermenigvuldigen zij in het midden van haar. 26Haar priesters doen Mijn wet geweld aan, en zij ontheiligen Mijn heilige dingen; tussen het heilige en het onheilige maken zij geen onderscheid, en het verschil tussen het onreine en reine geven zij niet te kennen; daartoe verbergen zij hun ogen van Mijn sabbatten; ja, Ik word in het midden van hen ontheiligd. 27Haar vorsten zijn in het midden van haar als wolven, die een roof roven, om bloed te vergieten, en om zielen te verderven; opdat zij gierigheid zouden plegen. 28Haar profeten nu pleisteren hen met loze kalk; ziende ijdelheid en hun leugen voorzeggende, zeggende: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE! en de HEERE heeft niet gesproken. 29Het volk des lands pleegt enkel verdrukking, en bedrijft enkel roverij, ook onderdrukken zij den ellendige en nooddruftige, en den vreemdeling verdrukken zij zonder recht. 30Ik zocht nu een man uit hen, die den muur mocht toemuren, en voor Mijn aangezicht in de bresse staan voor het land, opdat Ik het niet mocht verderven; maar Ik vond niemand. 31Daarom heb Ik Mijn gramschap over hen uitgegoten; door het vuur Mijner verbolgenheid heb Ik hen verteerd; hun weg heb Ik op hun hoofd gegeven, spreekt de Heere HEERE.
