「因此，你要告訴以色列人，主耶和華這樣說，『以色列人啊，我要行這事並非因為你們的緣故，而是因為我聖名的緣故，就是你們在所去列國褻瀆的聖名。

“所以，你要对以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，我行这事不是为你们，乃是为我的圣名，就是在你们到的列国中所亵渎的。

“所以，你要对以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，我做这事不是为你们，而是为了我的圣名，就是你们在所到的列国中亵渎的。

“因此，你要告诉以色列人，主耶和华这样说，‘以色列人啊，我要行这事并非因为你们的缘故，而是因为我圣名的缘故，就是你们在所去列国亵渎的圣名。

“因此，你要对以色列家说：‘主耶和华这样说：以色列家啊！我作这事，不是为了你们，而是为了我自己的圣名，就是在你们所去的列邦那里所亵渎的，

「所以，你要對以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，我行這事不是為你們，乃是為我的聖名，就是在你們到的列國中所褻瀆的。

“因此，你要對以色列家說：‘主耶和華這樣說：以色列家啊！我作這事，不是為了你們，而是為了我自己的聖名，就是在你們所去的列邦那裡所褻瀆的，

『為此你要對以色列家說：主永恆主這麼說：以色列家啊，我將要行事、並不是為了你們，乃是為了我自己的聖名，就是在你們所去到的列國中你們所使它被褻瀆的。

故當謂以色列家云、主耶和華曰、以色列家乎、我之行是、非為爾故、乃為我聖名、爾至異邦所污者、

故當告以色列家云、主耶和華曰我施恩澤、非為爾以色列族之故、特為珍惜我聖名耳、爾在異邦、玩瀆我大名不已、我必使人崇敬之、厥後爾必尊崇我、使異邦人目睹、則知我乃耶和華、我已言之矣。

故爾當告以色列族曰、主天主如是云、我施以恩、我施以恩原文作我行此事非為爾之故、乃為我聖名之故、蓋爾在所至之異邦中、使我聖名被褻瀆、

“ Therefore say to the Israelites,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.

“ So tell the Israelites,‘ The Lord and King speaks. He says,“ People of Israel, I will not take action for your benefit. Instead, I will act for the honor of my holy name. You have treated it as if it were not holy. You did it everywhere you went among the nations.

“ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.

“ Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am bringing you back, but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, on which you brought shame while you were scattered among the nations.

“ Therefore, say to the house of Israel,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you profaned among the nations where you went.

“ Therefore say to the house of Israel,‘ This is what the Lord God says:“ It is not for your sake, house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

“ Therefore say to the house of Israel,‘ Thus says the Lord GOD:“ I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went.

“ Therefore, say to the house of Israel: This is what the Lord God says: It is not for your sake that I will act, house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations where you went.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not[ this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

“ Therefore say to the house of Israel,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake that I am about to act, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy reputation which you profaned among the nations where you went.

“ Therefore tell the house of Israel,‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

主耶和華說，你們應當知道，我這樣做並不是為了你們。以色列人啊，你們應當為自己的行為抱愧蒙羞。』

但祂為了自己的名拯救了他們，以彰顯祂的大能。

耶和華啊，不要將榮耀歸於我們，不要歸於我們。願榮耀歸於你的名，因為你慈愛、信實！為何讓列國說「他們的上帝在哪裡」？

「耶和華喜愛你們、揀選你們，不是因為你們的人口比別的民族多——其實你們在萬族中是最小的——而是因為祂愛你們，遵守祂向你們祖先所起的誓。因此，祂用大能的手把你們從受奴役的地方領出來，從埃及王法老手中救贖了你們。

你們能佔領他們的土地並非因為你們公義、行為正直。你們的上帝耶和華從你們面前趕走那些民族，是因為他們邪惡，也是為了實現祂給你們祖先亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的誓言。你們要知道，耶和華賜給你們那佳美之地不是因為你們有好品德。其實你們是頑固不化的人。「要牢記你們在曠野怎樣觸怒你們的上帝耶和華。從你們離開埃及那天到現在，你們屢屢背叛耶和華。
