< 以西結書 11 >

1 靈將我舉起,帶到耶和華殿向東的東門。誰知,在門口有二十五個人,我見其中有民間的首領押朔的兒子雅撒尼亞和比拿雅的兒子毗拉提。
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looketh eastward; and behold, at the door of the gate were five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 耶和華對我說:「人子啊,這就是圖謀罪孽的人,在這城中給人設惡謀。
And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 他們說:『蓋房屋的時候尚未臨近;這城是鍋,我們是肉。』
who say, It is not the time to build houses: this is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.
4 人子啊,因此你當說預言,說預言攻擊他們。」
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
5 耶和華的靈降在我身上,對我說:「你當說,耶和華如此說:以色列家啊,你們口中所說的,心裏所想的,我都知道。
And the Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and the things that come into your mind, I know them.
6 你們在這城中殺人增多,使被殺的人充滿街道。
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 所以主耶和華如此說:你們殺在城中的人就是肉,這城就是鍋;你們卻要從其中被帶出去。
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and it is the cauldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst of it.
8 你們怕刀劍,我必使刀劍臨到你們。這是主耶和華說的。
Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 我必從這城中帶出你們去,交在外邦人的手中,且要在你們中間施行審判。
And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 你們必倒在刀下;我必在以色列的境界審判你們,你們就知道我是耶和華。
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the borders of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
11 這城必不作你們的鍋,你們也不作其中的肉。我必在以色列的境界審判你們,
This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it: I will judge you in the borders of Israel;
12 你們就知道我是耶和華;因為你們沒有遵行我的律例,也沒有順從我的典章,卻隨從你們四圍列國的惡規。」
and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, neither have done mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 我正說預言的時候,比拿雅的兒子毗拉提死了。於是我俯伏在地,大聲呼叫說:「哎!主耶和華啊,你要將以色列剩下的人滅絕淨盡嗎?」
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And 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 耶和華的話臨到我說:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
15 「人子啊,耶路撒冷的居民對你的弟兄、你的本族、你的親屬、以色列全家,就是對大眾說:『你們遠離耶和華吧!這地是賜給我們為業的。』
Son of man, [it is] thy brethren, thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, the whole of it, unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, Get you far from Jehovah: unto us is this land given for a possession.
16 所以你當說:『耶和華如此說:我雖將以色列全家遠遠遷移到列國中,將他們分散在列邦內,我還要在他們所到的列邦,暫作他們的聖所。』
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 你當說:『主耶和華如此說:我必從萬民中招聚你們,從分散的列國內聚集你們,又要將以色列地賜給你們。』
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 他們必到那裏,也必從其中除掉一切可憎可厭的物。
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away from thence all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 我要使他們有合一的心,也要將新靈放在他們裏面,又從他們肉體中除掉石心,賜給他們肉心,
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
20 使他們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。他們要作我的子民,我要作他們的上帝。
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 至於那些心中隨從可憎可厭之物的,我必照他們所行的報應在他們頭上。這是主耶和華說的。」
But as for them whose heart walketh well-pleased with their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
22 於是,基路伯展開翅膀,輪子都在他們旁邊;在他們以上有以色列上帝的榮耀。
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 耶和華的榮耀從城中上升,停在城東的那座山上。
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 靈將我舉起,在異象中藉着上帝的靈將我帶進迦勒底地,到被擄的人那裏;我所見的異象就離我上升去了。
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity; and the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 我便將耶和華所指示我的一切事都說給被擄的人聽。
And I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shewn me.
