Jezekiel 12
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking 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 You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking 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 And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
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 Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:
你還要在他們眼前在牆上穿一個洞，由那裏走過去。
6 you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because 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 And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
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 the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
到了早晨，上主的話傳給我說：「
9 Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?
人子，以色列家族，那叛逆的家族不是問你說：你在作什麼﹖
10 Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
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 say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.
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 the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
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 And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
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 his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword 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 shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them amongst the nations; and I will disperse them in 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 And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities amongst the nations whither they have gone; and they shall 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 And 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 sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.
人子，你要戰戰兢兢地吃飯，懷著顫慄和惶恐喝水。
19 And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
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 And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
22 Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
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 say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.
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 shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children 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 For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.
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 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
27 Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.
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 say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.
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。」
