以西結書 11
1 以後，神力把我提起，把我帶到上主聖殿東面的東門那裏。看，在大門口有二十五個人，我看見在他們中有阿組爾的兒子亞匝尼雅和貝納雅的兒子培拉提雅，他們是民眾的首領。
Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
2 上主向我說：「人子，在這城中圖謀不軌，出壞主意的就是這些人。
Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.
3 他們說：房屋不是剛建築不久嗎﹖城是鍋，我們是肉。
For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.
4 為此你要發言反對他們；人子，發言罷! 」
Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.
5 上主的神臨於我，向我說：「你要說：上主這樣說：以色列家，你們所說過的話，心中想的什麼，我都知道。
And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.
6 你們在此城中殺害了許多人，街市上滿了傷亡的人。
Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.
7 為此吾主上主這樣說：你們在城內所殺害的人是肉，城是鍋，但你們都要由城中趕出去。
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.
8 你們怕刀劍，我必使刀劍臨於你們──吾主上主的斷語－－
Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.
9 我要把你們由城中趕出，把你們交於外人手中，在你們身上實行懲罰。
And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.
10 你們要喪身刀下；我必要在以色列邊境上懲罰你們；如此，你們要承認我是上主。
Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
11 這城為你們決不是鍋，你們也決不是其中的肉；我必要在以色列邊境上懲罰你們。
This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.
12 如此你們必承認我是上主，因為你們沒有遵行我的法令，沒有實行我的法律，卻照你們四鄰異民的法律去行。」
And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about you.
13 我正在講預言的時候，貝納雅的兒子培拉提雅死了；我遂伏地掩面，高聲哀呼說：「哎! 吾主上主，你要滅盡以色列的遺民嗎﹖」
And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?
14 上主的話傳給我說：「
Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
15 人子，耶路撒冷的居民論及你的同胞兄弟，同你一起被擄的人，即以色列全家族的人，這樣說：他們遠離了上主，這地應歸於我們佔有了。
Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in possession.
16 為此你應宣講說：吾主上主這樣說：我雖遷移他們，遠至異民之中，將他們分散到各國，但在他們所到的地方，我暫時仍是他們的聖所。
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.
17 因此你應宣講：吾主上主這樣說：我要從各民族聚集你們，由你們分散所到的各國中召集你們，把以色列地域再賜給你們。
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.
18 他們一回到那裏，必滅絕那裏的偶像，剷除那裏的一切醜惡的事。
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 我必賜給他們另一顆心，在他們臟腑放上另一種精神；拿走他們鐵石的心，給他們換上一顆血肉的心，
And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,
20 為使他們遵行我的法令，謹守我的法律，而一一實行：如此他們要作我的百姓，我要作他們的天主。
That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 至於那些心中仍隨從偶像和醜惡之事的人，我要把他們的行為歸在他們的頭上──吾主上主的斷語。」
But vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.
22 那時革魯賓展開了翅膀，輪子也隨著轉動，以色列天主的光榮停在他們之上。
Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.
23 上主的光榮由城中升起，停在城東的山上。
And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.
24 神力把我提起，在異象中，即在天主的神力中，把我帶到加色丁充軍的人那裏。我所見的異象就在我面前消失了。
Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.
25 我遂向充軍的人講述上主給我顯示的一切事。
Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
