< Jezekiel 2 >
1 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
他對我說:「人子啊,你站起來,我要和你說話。」
2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
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。
3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
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。
4 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.
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。
5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
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。
6 And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
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。
7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
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。
8 And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
「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。」
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
我觀看,見有一隻手向我伸出來,手中有一書卷。
10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
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。
