以西結書 3
1 以後他向我說：「人子，將給你的吞下去。你吞下這卷書，然後去向以色列子民宣講。」
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, that which thou findest eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.'
2 我遂張開口，他便使我吞下那卷書，
And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll.
3 並向我說：「人子，要吞到肚子裏，要把我給你的這卷書充滿你的五內。」我遂吃了，這卷書在我嘴裏甘甜如蜜。
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed, and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving unto thee;' and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 然後他向我說：「人子，起來以色列家族那裏去，向他們宣講我所說的話。
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, go, enter in unto the house of Israel, and thou hast spoken with My words unto them.
5 你被派遣，並不是往言語不通，說話不懂的人民那裏去，而是到以色列家族。
For, not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue [art] thou sent — unto the house of Israel;
6 也不是到言語不通，說話不懂，而你聽不明白他們他們話的各民族那裏去；若是我派遣你到他們那裏，他們必肯聽你的話。
not unto many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou dost not understand. If I had not sent thee unto them — they, they do hearken unto thee,
7 但是以色列家族卻不肯聽你，原來他們不肯聽我，因為以色列家族都額堅心硬。
but the house of Israel are not willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
8 看，我要使你的臉堅硬，好像他們的臉，使你的額堅硬，好像他們的額。
'Lo, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
9 使你的額好像金鋼，比火石還堅硬。他們雖是叛你的家族，不必害怕他們，在他們面前不必膽怯。」
As an adamant harder than a rock I have made thy forehead; thou dost not fear them, nor art thou affrighted before them, for a rebellious house [are] they.'
10 他又向我說：「人子，我向你說的一切話，要聽到耳中，存在心裏。
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, all My words, that I speak unto thee, receive with thy heart, and with thine ears hear;
11 起來，到充軍者，你百姓的子民那裏，向他們宣講，對他們說：吾主上主這樣說。不管他們聽不聽。」
and go, enter in unto the Removed, unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast spoken unto them, and hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: whether they hear, or whether they forbear.'
12 當上主的光榮由那地方升起時，神力也把我舉起，我聽見在我後面有轟轟之聲很大，
And lift me up doth a spirit, and I hear behind me a noise, a great rushing — 'Blessed [is] the honour of Jehovah from His place!' —
13 是活物的翅膀彼此磨擦的響聲，是靠近牠們的輪子的響聲，轟轟之聲很大。
even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels over-against them, even a noise of a great rushing.
14 神力把我舉起，把我提去；我走時，心中激動而苦悶，那時上主的手重壓在我身上。
And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah on me [is] strong.
15 以後我到了特耳阿彼部的充軍者那裏，他們靠近革巴爾河居住。我在他們那裏憂鬱地居留了七天。
And I come in unto the Removed, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
16 過了七天，上主的話傳給我說：「
And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven days,
17 人子，我派你作以色列家族的守衛；當你由我口中聽到什麼話時，你應代我警告他們。
that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them from Me.
18 幾時我向惡人說：你必喪亡! 你若不警告他，也不宣講，使惡人知所警惕，而脫離邪道，為得生存；那惡人要因自己的罪惡而喪亡，但我必向你追討血債。
In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he — the wicked — in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require.
19 你若警告了惡人，而他不肯離開罪惡和邪道，那他必要因自己的罪惡而喪亡；至於你卻救了你的靈魂。
And thou, because thou hast warned the wicked, and he hath not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he in his iniquity dieth, and thou thy soul hast delivered.
20 幾時一個義人離棄正義而行不義，我要在他面前安放絆腳石，使他死亡；若你沒有警告他，他必因自己的罪惡而喪亡，他所行的正義，也不被記念；但我必向你追討血債。
'And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he hath done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dieth; because thou hast not warned him, in his sin he dieth, and not remembered is his righteousness that he hath done, and his blood from thy hand I require.
21 但若你警告了義人，使他不犯罪，而他沒有犯罪：這樣他必要生存，因為他聽從了警告，你也救了你的靈魂。」
And thou, because thou hast warned him — the righteous — that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast delivered.'
22 我在那裏時，上主的手臨於我，他向我說：「起來，到平原裏，去我要在那裏同你說話。」
And there is on me there a hand of Jehovah, and He saith to me, 'Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I do speak with thee.'
23 我就起身到了平原。看，上主的光榮停在那裏，就如我在革巴爾河所見過的光榮；我遂伏地掩面。
And I rise and go forth unto the valley, and lo, there the honour of Jehovah is standing as the honour that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
24 有一種神力進入我身，使我站起來。他向我說：「你去，把你關鎖在房中!
And come into me doth a spirit, and causeth me to stand on my feet, and He speaketh with me, and saith unto me, 'Go in, be shut up in the midst of thy house.
25 人子，你看人們要用繩索捆縛你；你被捆起後，便不能到他們中間。
'And thou, son of man, lo, they have put on thee thick bands, and have bound thee with them, and thou goest not forth in their midst;
26 我還要使你的舌頭緊貼在上顎，使你成為啞吧，不能斥責他們，因為他們是叛逆的家族。
and thy tongue I cause to cleave unto thy palate, and thou hast been dumb, and art not to them for a reprover, for a rebellious house [are] they.
27 但是我給你說話時，要開啟你的口。以後你要向他們說：『吾主上主這樣說。』誰肯聽，就讓他聽；誰不肯聽，就讓他不聽好了，因為他們是叛逆的家族。」
And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house [are] they.
