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。
Then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that looketh toward the east; and behold, at the entrance of the gate were five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, 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 to me: These are the men that devise mischief, and form evil designs 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 that we should build houses. This city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.”
4 為此你要發言反對他們；人子，發言罷! 」
Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O 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。
And the spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak: Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel! For I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
6 你們在此城中殺害了許多人，街市上滿了傷亡的人。
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain, whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst 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 have feared the sword, and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments upon 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 sword; on the borders of Israel will I judge you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
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 city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. On the borders of Israel will I judge you,
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。」
that ye may know that I am Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, and whose ordinances ye have not observed, but have done according to the manners of the nations, 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 it came to pass, 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 Jehovah, wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of Jehovah 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, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy near kindred, and the whole house of Israel, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, “Remove ye far from Jehovah; to us is the land given 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 Jehovah: Though I have cast them far off among the nations, and scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them as a sanctuary for a short time in the countries whither they are 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 Jehovah: I will gather you from the nations, and assemble you from the countries where ye 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。
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away from thence all the detestable things thereof, and all the abominations thereof.
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 give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take out of them the heart of stone, 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 observe my ordinances, and keep 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 walketh according to the pleasure of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 cherubs lift 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。
And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon 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。
Then the spirit took me up, and brought me to Chaldaea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God. And the vision which 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 spake to them of the captivity all the words of Jehovah which he had showed me.
