Ezekiel 12
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
人子，你是住在叛逆的家族中，他們有眼，卻視而不見；有耳，卻聽而不聞；因為他們是叛逆的家族。
3 Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
人子，你要白天在他們眼前準備充軍的行囊，並在他們眼前從一地遷移到另一地；他們或者能看清自己是叛逆的家族。
4 Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
你白天在他們眼前把行囊搬出，像搬出充軍的行囊；傍晚在他們眼前出發，像充軍者出發。
5 As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
你還要在他們眼前在牆上穿一個洞，由那裏走過去。
6 And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
你當著他們的面，把行囊背在肩上，天黑時出發，並且蒙著臉，看不到地面：因為我要使你作為以色列家族的一個預兆。」
7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
我遂遵命行了：白天我把行囊搬出，有如充軍的行囊，傍晚用手在牆上穿了一個洞；到天黑時，當著他們的面，把行囊背在肩上出發。
8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
到了早晨，上主的話傳給我說：「
9 “Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
人子，以色列家族，那叛逆的家族不是問你說：你在作什麼﹖
10 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’
你要回答他們說：吾主上主這樣說：這神諭是有關耶路撒冷的君王和城中的以色列全家族。
11 You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.
並且說：我為你們是一個預兆：像我所行過的，也要實現在他們身上：他們要被擄充軍異地。
12 And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.
君王在他們當中肩上背著重擔，在黑夜出發，在牆上要穿一洞，為叫他出去；他要蒙著臉，以致他再不能親眼看見這地方。
13 But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
我要在他面前設下羅網，他必要陷在我的羅網中而被捉住；然後我他到加色丁人的地方巴比倫，但他一無所見，就死在那裏。
14 And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
我還要把他左右的護衛，以及一切軍隊，分散到四方，並拔出劍來追趕他們。
15 And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
當我把他們驅散到異民中，把他們分散到各國時，他們必承認我是上主。
16 But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
但我在他們中仍保留少數的人，免受刀兵、饑荒和瘟疫之害，為叫他們給他們所到之地的異民，講述自己的醜惡之事，使那些人也認識我是上主。」
17 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
人子，你要戰戰兢兢地吃飯，懷著顫慄和惶恐喝水。
19 Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
你應向此地的人民宣講說：吾主上主論及耶路撒冷的居民和以色列地域這樣說：他們要惶恐地吃飯，驚懼地喝水，為了那裏的居民所行的殘暴，那地方要被洗劫，變為荒蕪之地。
20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
人煙稠密的城市要變為曠野，那地方必變為沙漠：如此，你們必承認我是上主。」
21 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
人子，在以色列地域，有人說：日期遲延了，異象落空了。這流言是什麼意思﹖
23 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
為此你應向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：我必使這流言停止，以色列必不再說這流言；你該向他們說：日期近了，所有的異象必要實現。
24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,
在以色列家族內，決不再有虛偽的異象和欺詐的預言。
25 because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
因為是我上主講話，我講的話必要實現，不再遲延。叛逆的家族! 我說的話必在你們這一代實現──吾主上主的斷語。」
26 Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
27 “Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’
人子，以色列家族說：這人所見的異象是指遙遠的來日；他說的預言，是指遙遠的時期。
28 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’”
為此你要向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：我說的一切話，不再遲延；我所說的話，必要實現──吾主上主的斷語。」
