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。
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, —and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah 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 unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling 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 are saying, Not near! let us build houses, — It, 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. 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。
Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea, the things that come up on your spirit, I, know every one.
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 have filled her streets with 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 My Lord Yahweh, Your slain. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, —when ye are taken out of her midst.
8 你們怕刀劍，我必使刀劍臨於你們──吾主上主的斷語－－
A sword, have ye feared, — And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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。
So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, —and will execute upon you judgments.
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。
By the sword, shall ye fall, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, —Near the boundary 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。」
So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, — But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.
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 as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, —so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said— Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?
14 上主的話傳給我說：「
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been given, 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 saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered
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 My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed, - And will give you the soil 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。
So shall they come in thither, — and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;
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 another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, —And will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and 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。
To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, — So shall they become my people, And I will become 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 who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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 cherubim lift up their wings, the wheels also going in unison with them, — the glory of the God of Israel, being over them above.
23 上主的光榮由城中升起，停在城東的山上。
Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, —and stood on the mountain, which is on the east 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。
And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, —thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.
25 我遂向充軍的人講述上主給我顯示的一切事。
So I spake unto them of the captivity, —all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.
