Ezekiel 2

1 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee.

他向我說：「人子，站起來! 我要同你講話。」

2 And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me.

他向我講話時，有一種神力進入我內，使我站起來，也聽見他同我講話。

3 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.

他向我說：「人子，我派遣你到以色列子民，到反抗我的那個叛逆的人民那裏去，他們和他們的祖先，直到今天還違背我。

4 For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God.

那些子民雖厚顏無恥，心腸頑硬，我仍派遣你到他們那裏，向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：

5 But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them.

他們或是聽，或是不聽──他們原是叛逆的家族──終究要承認在他們中有一位先知。

6 And thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house.

人子，你不必怕他們，也不要怕他們說什麼，也不要怕他們反抗你，輕慢你，好像叫你坐在毒蠍之上；不要怕他們說什麼，在他們面前，也不要膽怯，因為他們是叛逆的家族。

7 Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious.

無論他們聽，或是不聽，你應向他們宣講我的話，他們原是叛逆的家族。」「

8 But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee.

人子，你要聽我向你講的話，你不要叛逆，像叛逆的家族。你要張口，把我給你的吞下。」

9 And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein.

我觀望時，看，有一隻手向我伸來，手上有一卷書。

10 And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

他把那卷書在我面前展開，內外都寫著字，寫的是：「哀傷、悲歎和災禍。」
