Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
他對我說：「人子啊，要吃你所得的，要吃這書卷，好去對以色列家講說。」
2 And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
於是我開口，他就使我吃這書卷，
3 And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
又對我說：「人子啊，要吃我所賜給你的這書卷，充滿你的肚腹。」我就吃了，口中覺得其甜如蜜。
4 And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
他對我說：「人子啊，你往以色列家那裏去，將我的話對他們講說。
5 For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
你奉差遣不是往那說話深奧、言語難懂的民那裏去，乃是往以色列家去；
6 and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
不是往那說話深奧、言語難懂的多國去，他們的話語是你不懂得的。我若差你往他們那裏去，他們必聽從你。
7 Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
以色列家卻不肯聽從你，因為他們不肯聽從我；原來以色列全家是額堅心硬的人。
8 Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
看哪，我使你的臉硬過他們的臉，使你的額硬過他們的額。
9 I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
我使你的額像金鋼鑽，比火石更硬。他們雖是悖逆之家，你不要怕他們，也不要因他們的臉色驚惶。」
10 And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
他又對我說：「人子啊，我對你所說的一切話，要心裏領會，耳中聽聞。
11 And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
你往你本國被擄的子民那裏去，他們或聽，或不聽，你要對他們講說，告訴他們這是主耶和華說的。」
12 And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
那時，靈將我舉起，我就聽見在我身後有震動轟轟的聲音，說：「從耶和華的所在顯出來的榮耀是該稱頌的！」
13 and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
我又聽見那活物翅膀相碰，與活物旁邊輪子旋轉震動轟轟的響聲。
14 Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
於是靈將我舉起，帶我而去。我心中甚苦，靈性忿激，並且耶和華的靈在我身上大有能力。
15 And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
我就來到提勒‧亞畢，住在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人那裏，到他們所住的地方，在他們中間憂憂悶悶地坐了七日。
16 Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
過了七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
「人子啊，我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。
18 If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
我何時指着惡人說：他必要死；你若不警戒他，也不勸戒他，使他離開惡行，拯救他的性命，這惡人必死在罪孽之中；我卻要向你討他喪命的罪。
19 But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
倘若你警戒惡人，他仍不轉離罪惡，也不離開惡行，他必死在罪孽之中，你卻救自己脫離了罪。
20 Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
再者，義人何時離義而犯罪，我將絆腳石放在他面前，他就必死；因你沒有警戒他，他必死在罪中，他素來所行的義不被記念；我卻要向你討他喪命的罪。
21 But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
倘若你警戒義人，使他不犯罪，他就不犯罪；他因受警戒就必存活，你也救自己脫離了罪。」
22 And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
耶和華的靈在那裏降在我身上。他對我說：「你起來往平原去，我要在那裏和你說話。」
23 And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
於是我起來往平原去，不料，耶和華的榮耀正如我在迦巴魯河邊所見的一樣，停在那裏，我就俯伏於地。
24 And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
靈就進入我裏面，使我站起來。耶和華對我說：「你進房屋去，將門關上。
25 And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
人子啊，人必用繩索捆綁你，你就不能出去在他們中間來往。
26 And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
我必使你的舌頭貼住上膛，以致你啞口，不能作責備他們的人；他們原是悖逆之家。
27 But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
但我對你說話的時候，必使你開口，你就要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說。』聽的可以聽，不聽的任他不聽，因為他們是悖逆之家。」
