以西結書 40

1 我們充軍後第二十五年，京城被毀後第十四年，年初，月之初十日，就在這一天，上主的手臨於我。

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me thither.

2 在神視中領我來到以色列地，把我放在最高的山上，山的南方有座像城的建築物。

In the visions of God brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 他領我到了那裏，看，有一個人，面色似銅，手中拿著一條麻繩和測量竿。他站在門樓旁。

And He brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

4 那人對我說：「人子，你要用眼看，用耳聽，留意我向你指示的一切，因為我引你到這裏來，為叫你看見；凡你所見的，你要告訴以色列家族。」

And the man said unto me: 'Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee, for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought thither; declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.'
