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 Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials 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。
He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 他們說：房屋不是剛建築不久嗎﹖城是鍋，我們是肉。
who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'
4 為此你要發言反對他們；人子，發言罷! 」
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."
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。
The Spirit of the LORD fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says the LORD: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 你們在此城中殺害了許多人，街市上滿了傷亡的人。
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'
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 says the LORD: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.
8 你們怕刀劍，我必使刀劍臨於你們──吾主上主的斷語－－
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says the LORD.
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。
'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments 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。
You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know 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 shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge 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 you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around 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﹖」
It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, LORD. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
14 上主的話傳給我說：「
The word of the LORD came to 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。
"Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a 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 says the LORD: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have 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 says the LORD: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the 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。
They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
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，
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a 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 walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do 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 as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says the LORD."
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 the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 上主的光榮由城中升起，停在城東的山上。
The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
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。
The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 我遂向充軍的人講述上主給我顯示的一切事。
Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
