以西结书 12
1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “人子啊，你住在悖逆的家中。他们有眼睛看不见，有耳朵听不见，因为他们是悖逆之家。
“Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.
3 所以人子啊，你要预备掳去使用的物件，在白日当他们眼前从你所住的地方移到别处去；他们虽是悖逆之家，或者可以揣摩思想。
As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.
4 你要在白日当他们眼前带出你的物件去，好像预备掳去使用的物件。到了晚上，你要在他们眼前亲自出去，像被掳的人出去一样。
And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
5 你要在他们眼前挖通了墙，从其中将物件带出去。
Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
6 到天黑时，你要当他们眼前搭在肩头上带出去，并要蒙住脸看不见地，因为我立你作以色列家的预兆。”
In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house of Israel.”
7 我就照着所吩咐的去行，白日带出我的物件，好像预备掳去使用的物件。到了晚上，我用手挖通了墙。天黑的时候，就当他们眼前搭在肩头上带出去。
Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
8 次日早晨，耶和华的话临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
9 “人子啊，以色列家，就是那悖逆之家，岂不是问你说：‘你做什么呢？’
“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’
10 你要对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：这是关乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周围以色列全家的预表。’
Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
11 你要说：‘我作你们的预兆：我怎样行，他们所遭遇的也必怎样，他们必被掳去。’
Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
12 他们中间的君王也必在天黑的时候将物件搭在肩头上带出去。他们要挖通了墙，从其中带出去。他必蒙住脸，眼看不见地。
And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
13 我必将我的网撒在他身上，他必在我的网罗中缠住。我必带他到迦勒底人之地的巴比伦；他虽死在那里，却看不见那地。
And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
14 周围一切帮助他的和他所有的军队，我必分散四方，也要拔刀追赶他们。
And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.
15 我将他们四散在列国、分散在列邦的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
16 我却要留下他们几个人得免刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫，使他们在所到的各国中述说他们一切可憎的事，人就知道我是耶和华。”
And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 耶和华的话又临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “人子啊，你吃饭必胆战，喝水必惶惶忧虑。
“Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
19 你要对这地的百姓说：主耶和华论耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此说，他们吃饭必忧虑，喝水必惊惶。因其中居住的众人所行强暴的事，这地必然荒废，一无所存。
And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
20 有居民的城邑必变为荒场，地也必变为荒废；你们就知道我是耶和华。”
And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
21 耶和华的话临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 “人子啊，在你们以色列地怎么有这俗语，说‘日子迟延，一切异象都落了空’呢？
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
23 你要告诉他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：我必使这俗语止息，以色列中不再用这俗语。’你却要对他们说：‘日子临近，一切的异象必都应验。’
Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
24 从此，在以色列家中必不再有虚假的异象和奉承的占卜。
For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.
25 我—耶和华说话，所说的必定成就，不再耽延。你们这悖逆之家，我所说的话必趁你们在世的日子成就。这是主耶和华说的。”
For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
26 耶和华的话又临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 “人子啊，以色列家的人说：‘他所见的异象是关乎后来许多的日子，所说的预言是指着极远的时候。’
“Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
28 所以你要对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：我的话没有一句再耽延的，我所说的必定成就。这是主耶和华说的。’”
Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
