以西結書 2

1 他對我說：「人子啊，你站起來，我要和你說話。」

This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

2 他對我說話的時候，靈就進入我裏面，使我站起來，我便聽見那位對我說話的聲音。

And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,

3 他對我說：「人子啊，我差你往悖逆的國民以色列人那裏去。他們是悖逆我的，他們和他們的列祖違背我，直到今日。

And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.

4 這眾子面無羞恥，心裏剛硬。我差你往他們那裏去，你要對他們說：主耶和華如此說。

And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:

5 他們或聽，或不聽，（他們是悖逆之家），必知道在他們中間有了先知。

If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.

6 人子啊，雖有荊棘和蒺藜在你那裏，你又住在蠍子中間，總不要怕他們，也不要怕他們的話；他們雖是悖逆之家，還不要怕他們的話，也不要因他們的臉色驚惶。

And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

7 他們或聽，或不聽，你只管將我的話告訴他們；他們是極其悖逆的。

And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

8 「人子啊，要聽我對你所說的話，不要悖逆像那悖逆之家，你要開口吃我所賜給你的。」

But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

9 我觀看，見有一隻手向我伸出來，手中有一書卷。

And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:

10 他將書卷在我面前展開，內外都寫着字，其上所寫的有哀號、歎息、悲痛的話。

and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
