以西結書 12
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
The word of Jehovah also came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你住在悖逆的家中。他們有眼睛看不見，有耳朵聽不見，因為他們是悖逆之家。
Son of man, thou dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.
3 所以人子啊，你要預備擄去使用的物件，在白日當他們眼前從你所住的地方移到別處去；他們雖是悖逆之家，或者可以揣摩思想。
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight. And thou shall move from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4 你要在白日當他們眼前帶出你的物件去，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，你要在他們眼前親自出去，像被擄的人出去一樣。
And thou shall bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving. And thou shall go forth thyself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
5 你要在他們眼前挖通了牆，從其中將物件帶出去。
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out by that.
6 到天黑時，你要當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去，並要蒙住臉看不見地，因為我立你作以色列家的預兆。」
Thou shall bear it upon thy shoulder in their sight, and carry it forth in the dark. Thou shall cover thy face, that thou not see the land. For I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.
7 我就照着所吩咐的去行，白日帶出我的物件，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，我用手挖通了牆。天黑的時候，就當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去。
And I did so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 次日早晨，耶和華的話臨到我說：
And in the morning the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
9 「人子啊，以色列家，就是那悖逆之家，豈不是問你說：『你做甚麼呢？』
Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What are thou doing?
10 你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：這是關乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周圍以色列全家的預表。』
Say thou to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the ruler in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11 你要說：『我作你們的預兆：我怎樣行，他們所遭遇的也必怎樣，他們必被擄去。』
Say, I am your sign. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.
12 他們中間的君王也必在天黑的時候將物件搭在肩頭上帶出去。他們要挖通了牆，從其中帶出去。他必蒙住臉，眼看不見地。
And the ruler who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
13 我必將我的網撒在他身上，他必在我的網羅中纏住。我必帶他到迦勒底人之地的巴比倫；他雖死在那裏，卻看不見那地。
I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 周圍一切幫助他的和他所有的軍隊，我必分散四方，也要拔刀追趕他們。
And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them.
15 我將他們四散在列國、分散在列邦的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。
And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16 我卻要留下他們幾個人得免刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫，使他們在所到的各國中述說他們一切可憎的事，人就知道我是耶和華。」
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
17 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18 「人子啊，你吃飯必膽戰，喝水必惶惶憂慮。
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19 你要對這地的百姓說：主耶和華論耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此說，他們吃飯必憂慮，喝水必驚惶。因其中居住的眾人所行強暴的事，這地必然荒廢，一無所存。
And say to the people of the land, Thus says the lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20 有居民的城邑必變為荒場，地也必變為荒廢；你們就知道我是耶和華。」
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
21 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
22 「人子啊，在你們以色列地怎麼有這俗語，說『日子遲延，一切異象都落了空』呢？
Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23 你要告訴他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我必使這俗語止息，以色列中不再用這俗語。』你卻要對他們說：『日子臨近，一切的異象必都應驗。』
Tell them therefore, Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24 從此，在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。
For there shall no more be any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 我－耶和華說話，所說的必定成就，不再耽延。你們這悖逆之家，我所說的話必趁你們在世的日子成就。這是主耶和華說的。」
For I am Jehovah. I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. It shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says the lord Jehovah.
26 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
27 「人子啊，以色列家的人說：『他所見的異象是關乎後來許多的日子，所說的預言是指着極遠的時候。』
Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
28 所以你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我的話沒有一句再耽延的，我所說的必定成就。這是主耶和華說的。』」
Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the lord Jehovah.
