Ezekiel 3
1 Moreover he saide vnto me, Sonne of man, eate that thou findest: eate this roule, and goe, and speake vnto the house of Israel.
以後他向我說：「人子，將給你的吞下去。你吞下這卷書，然後去向以色列子民宣講。」
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gaue mee this roule to eate.
我遂張開口，他便使我吞下那卷書，
3 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eate, and fill thy bowels with this roule that I giue thee. Then did I eate it, and it was in my mouth as sweete as honie.
並向我說：「人子，要吞到肚子裏，要把我給你的這卷書充滿你的五內。」我遂吃了，這卷書在我嘴裏甘甜如蜜。
4 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, goe, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my wordes.
然後他向我說：「人子，起來以色列家族那裏去，向他們宣講我所說的話。
5 For thou art not sent to a people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel,
你被派遣，並不是往言語不通，說話不懂的人民那裏去，而是到以色列家族。
6 Not to many people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an harde language, whose wordes thou canst not vnderstand: yet if I should sende thee to them, they would obey thee.
也不是到言語不通，說話不懂，而你聽不明白他們他們話的各民族那裏去；若是我派遣你到他們那裏，他們必肯聽你的話。
7 But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiffe hearted.
但是以色列家族卻不肯聽你，原來他們不肯聽我，因為以色列家族都額堅心硬。
8 Beholde, I haue made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead harde against their foreheads.
看，我要使你的臉堅硬，好像他們的臉，使你的額堅硬，好像他們的額。
9 I haue made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder then the flint: feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their lookes: for they are a rebellious house.
使你的額好像金鋼，比火石還堅硬。他們雖是叛你的家族，不必害怕他們，在他們面前不必膽怯。」
10 He said moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, receiue in thine heart al my words that I speake vnto thee, and heare them with thine eares,
他又向我說：「人子，我向你說的一切話，要聽到耳中，存在心裏。
11 And goe and enter to them that are led away captiues vnto the children of thy people, and speake vnto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease.
起來，到充軍者，你百姓的子民那裏，向他們宣講，對他們說：吾主上主這樣說。不管他們聽不聽。」
12 Then the spirite tooke me vp, and I heard behinde me a noise of a great russhing, saying, Blessed be ye glorie of the Lord out of his place.
當上主的光榮由那地方升起時，神力也把我舉起，我聽見在我後面有轟轟之聲很大，
13 I heard also the noyse of the wings of the beasts, that touched one another, and the ratling of the wheeles that were by them, euen a noyse of a great russhing.
是活物的翅膀彼此磨擦的響聲，是靠近牠們的輪子的響聲，轟轟之聲很大。
14 So the spirit lift me vp, and tooke me away and I went in bitternesse, and indignation of my spirite, but the hand of the Lord was strong vpon me.
神力把我舉起，把我提去；我走時，心中激動而苦悶，那時上主的手重壓在我身上。
15 Then I came to them that were led away captiues to Tel-abib, that dwelt by the riuer Chebar, and I sate where they sate, and remained there astonished among them seuen dayes.
以後我到了特耳阿彼部的充軍者那裏，他們靠近革巴爾河居住。我在他們那裏憂鬱地居留了七天。
16 And at the ende of seuen dayes, the worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
過了七天，上主的話傳給我說：「
17 Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore heare the worde at my mouth, and giue them warning from me.
人子，我派你作以色列家族的守衛；當你由我口中聽到什麼話時，你應代我警告他們。
18 When I shall say vnto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou giuest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may liue, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hande.
幾時我向惡人說：你必喪亡! 你若不警告他，也不宣講，使惡人知所警惕，而脫離邪道，為得生存；那惡人要因自己的罪惡而喪亡，但我必向你追討血債。
19 Yet if thou warne the wicked, and he turne not from his wickednesse, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.
你若警告了惡人，而他不肯離開罪惡和邪道，那他必要因自己的罪惡而喪亡；至於你卻救了你的靈魂。
20 Likewise if a righteous man turne from his righteousnesse, and commit iniquitie, I will lay a stumbling blocke before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not giuen him warning: he shall die in his sinne, and his righteous deedes, which he hath done, shall not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand.
幾時一個義人離棄正義而行不義，我要在他面前安放絆腳石，使他死亡；若你沒有警告他，他必因自己的罪惡而喪亡，他所行的正義，也不被記念；但我必向你追討血債。
21 Neuerthelesse, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sinne not, and that he doeth not sinne, he shall liue because he is admonished: also thou hast deliuered thy soule.
但若你警告了義人，使他不犯罪，而他沒有犯罪：這樣他必要生存，因為他聽從了警告，你也救了你的靈魂。」
22 And the hande of the Lord was there vpon me, and he said vnto me, Arise, and goe into the fielde, and I will there talke with thee.
我在那裏時，上主的手臨於我，他向我說：「起來，到平原裏，去我要在那裏同你說話。」
23 So when I had risen vp, and gone foorth into the fielde, beholde, the glorie of the Lord stoode there, as the glorie which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and I fell downe vpon my face.
我就起身到了平原。看，上主的光榮停在那裏，就如我在革巴爾河所見過的光榮；我遂伏地掩面。
24 Then the Spirit entred into me, which set me vp vpon my feete, and spake vnto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thy selfe within thine house.
有一種神力進入我身，使我站起來。他向我說：「你去，把你關鎖在房中!
25 But thou, O sonne of man, beholde, they shall put bandes vpon thee, and shall binde thee with them, and thou shalt not goe out among them.
人子，你看人們要用繩索捆縛你；你被捆起後，便不能到他們中間。
26 And I will make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dume, and shalt not be to them as a man that rebuketh: for they are a rebellious house.
我還要使你的舌頭緊貼在上顎，使你成為啞吧，不能斥責他們，因為他們是叛逆的家族。
27 But when I shall haue spoken vnto thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that leaueth off, let him leaue: for they are a rebellious house.
但是我給你說話時，要開啟你的口。以後你要向他們說：『吾主上主這樣說。』誰肯聽，就讓他聽；誰不肯聽，就讓他不聽好了，因為他們是叛逆的家族。」
