以西結書 33
1 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要告訴本國的子民說：我使刀劍臨到哪一國，那一國的民從他們中間選立一人為守望的。
“Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you have said to them: When I bring a sword on a land, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him their watchman,
3 他見刀劍臨到那地，若吹角警戒眾民，
And he has seen the sword coming against the land, And has blown with a horn, and has warned the people,
4 凡聽見角聲不受警戒的，刀劍若來除滅了他，他的罪就必歸到自己的頭上。
And the hearer has heard the voice of the horn, and he has not taken warning, And the sword comes in, and takes him away, His blood is on his [own] head.
5 他聽見角聲，不受警戒，他的罪必歸到自己的身上；他若受警戒，便是救了自己的性命。
The voice of the horn he heard, And he has not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning has delivered his soul.
6 倘若守望的人見刀劍臨到，不吹角，以致民不受警戒，刀劍來殺了他們中間的一個人，他雖然死在罪孽之中，我卻要向守望的人討他喪命的罪。
And the watchman, when he sees the sword coming in, And he has not blown with a horn, And the people have not been warned, And a sword comes in, And takes away a soul from them, He is taken away in his iniquity, And I require his blood from the hand of the watchman.
7 「人子啊，我照樣立你作以色列家守望的人。所以你要聽我口中的話，替我警戒他們。
And you, son of man, I gave you [as] a watchman for the house of Israel, And you have heard a word from My mouth, And you have warned them from Me.
8 我對惡人說：『惡人哪，你必要死！』你－以西結若不開口警戒惡人，使他離開所行的道，這惡人必死在罪孽之中，我卻要向你討他喪命的罪。
In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—you surely die, And you have not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, And I require his blood from your hand.
9 倘若你警戒惡人轉離所行的道，他仍不轉離，他必死在罪孽之中，你卻救自己脫離了罪。」
And you, when you have warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he has not turned back from his way, He dies in his iniquity, And you have delivered your soul.
10 「人子啊，你要對以色列家說：『你們常說：我們的過犯罪惡在我們身上，我們必因此消滅，怎能存活呢？』
And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken correctly, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And we are wasting away in them, How, then, do we live?
11 你對他們說，主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，我斷不喜悅惡人死亡，惟喜悅惡人轉離所行的道而活。以色列家啊，你們轉回，轉回吧！離開惡道，何必死亡呢？
Say to them, [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I do not delight in the death of the wicked, But in the turning of the wicked from his way, and he has lived. Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways! Indeed, why do you die, O house of Israel?
12 人子啊，你要對本國的人民說：義人的義，在犯罪之日不能救他；至於惡人的惡，在他轉離惡行之日也不能使他傾倒；義人在犯罪之日也不能因他的義存活。
And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The righteousness of the righteous does not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He does not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
13 我對義人說：『你必定存活！』他若倚靠他的義而作罪孽，他所行的義都不被記念。他必因所作的罪孽死亡。
In My saying of the righteous: He surely lives, And—he has trusted on his righteousness, And he has done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he has done, He dies for it.
14 再者，我對惡人說：『你必定死亡！』他若轉離他的罪，行正直與合理的事：
And in My saying to the wicked: You surely die, And—he has turned back from his sin, And has done judgment and righteousness,
15 還人的當頭和所搶奪的，遵行生命的律例，不作罪孽，他必定存活，不致死亡。
(The wicked restores a pledge, he repays [for] plunder), He has walked in the statutes of life, So as not to do perversity, He surely lives—he does not die.
16 他所犯的一切罪必不被記念。他行了正直與合理的事，必定存活。
All his sin—his sins that he has sinned—are not remembered against him, He has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives.
17 「你本國的子民還說：『主的道不公平。』其實他們的道不公平。
And the sons of your people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As for them—their way is not pondered.
18 義人轉離他的義而作罪孽，就必因此死亡。
In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity—he dies for it.
19 惡人轉離他的惡，行正直與合理的事，就必因此存活。
And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he has done judgment and righteousness—he lives by them.
20 你們還說：『主的道不公平。』以色列家啊，我必按你們各人所行的審判你們。」
And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered; I judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
21 我們被擄之後十二年十月初五日，有人從耶路撒冷逃到我這裏，說：「城已攻破。」
And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year—in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month—of our removal, one who is escaped from Jerusalem comes to me, saying, “The city has been struck.”
22 逃來的人未到前一日的晚上，耶和華的靈降在我身上，開我的口。到第二日早晨，那人來到我這裏，我口就開了，不再緘默。
And the hand of YHWH has been to me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He opens my mouth until [his] coming to me in the morning, and my mouth is opened, and I have not been silent again.
23 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
24 「人子啊，住在以色列荒廢之地的人說：『亞伯拉罕獨自一人能得這地為業，我們人數眾多，這地更是給我們為業的。』
“Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying, Abraham has been alone—and he possesses the land, and we [are] many—the land has been given to us for a possession.
25 所以你要對他們說，主耶和華如此說：你們吃帶血的物，仰望偶像，並且殺人流血，你們還能得這地為業嗎？
Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: You eat with the blood, And you lift up your eyes to your idols, And you shed blood, Should you then inherit the land?
26 你們倚仗自己的刀劍行可憎的事，人人玷污鄰舍的妻，你們還能得這地為業嗎？
You have stood on your sword, You have done abomination, You have each defiled the wife of his neighbor, Should you then possess the land?
27 你要對他們這樣說，主耶和華如此說：我指着我的永生起誓，在荒場中的，必倒在刀下；在田野間的，必交給野獸吞吃；在保障和洞裏的，必遭瘟疫而死。
Thus you say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—do they who [are] in the ruins not fall by the sword? And they who [are] on the face of the field, I have given for food to the beast, And they who are in strongholds and in caves die by pestilence.
28 我必使這地荒涼，令人驚駭；她因勢力而有的驕傲也必止息。以色列的山都必荒涼，無人經過。
And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And the excellence of its strength has ceased, And mountains of Israel have been desolated, Without anyone passing through.
29 我因他們所行一切可憎的事使地荒涼，令人驚駭。那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。」
And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
30 「人子啊，你本國的子民在牆垣旁邊、在房屋門口談論你。弟兄對弟兄彼此說：『來吧！聽聽有甚麼話從耶和華而出。』
And you, son of man, The sons of your people who are speaking about you, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken with one another, each with his brother, Saying, Please come in, And hear what the word [is] that comes out from YHWH.
31 他們來到你這裏如同民來聚會，坐在你面前彷彿是我的民。他們聽你的話卻不去行；因為他們的口多顯愛情，心卻追隨財利。
And they come in to you as the coming in of a people, And they sit before you—My people, And have heard your words, and they do not do them, For they are making unhealthy loves with their mouth, Their heart is going after their dishonest gain.
32 他們看你如善於奏樂、聲音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌，他們聽你的話卻不去行。
And behold, you [are] as a singer of unhealthy loves to them, A beautiful voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard your words, and they are not doing them.
33 看哪，所說的快要應驗；應驗了，他們就知道在他們中間有了先知。」
And in its coming in—behold, it has come, And they have known that a prophet has been in their midst!”
