Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说：
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
“人子啊，你要告诉本国的子民说：我使刀剑临到哪一国，那一国的民从他们中间选立一人为守望的。
3 If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
他见刀剑临到那地，若吹角警戒众民，
4 Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
凡听见角声不受警戒的，刀剑若来除灭了他，他的罪就必归到自己的头上。
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.
他听见角声，不受警戒，他的罪必归到自己的身上；他若受警戒，便是救了自己的性命。
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
倘若守望的人见刀剑临到，不吹角，以致民不受警戒，刀剑来杀了他们中间的一个人，他虽然死在罪孽之中，我却要向守望的人讨他丧命的罪。
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
“人子啊，我照样立你作以色列家守望的人。所以你要听我口中的话，替我警戒他们。
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
我对恶人说：‘恶人哪，你必要死！’你—以西结若不开口警戒恶人，使他离开所行的道，这恶人必死在罪孽之中，我却要向你讨他丧命的罪。
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
倘若你警戒恶人转离所行的道，他仍不转离，他必死在罪孽之中，你却救自己脱离了罪。”
10 Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus all of you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
“人子啊，你要对以色列家说：‘你们常说：我们的过犯罪恶在我们身上，我们必因此消灭，怎能存活呢？’
11 Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn all of you, turn all of you from your evil ways; for why will all of you die, O house of Israel?
你对他们说，主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我断不喜悦恶人死亡，惟喜悦恶人转离所行的道而活。以色列家啊，你们转回，转回吧！离开恶道，何必死亡呢？
12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
人子啊，你要对本国的人民说：义人的义，在犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日也不能使他倾倒；义人在犯罪之日也不能因他的义存活。
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
我对义人说：‘你必定存活！’他若倚靠他的义而作罪孽，他所行的义都不被记念。他必因所作的罪孽死亡。
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
再者，我对恶人说：‘你必定死亡！’他若转离他的罪，行正直与合理的事：
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
还人的当头和所抢夺的，遵行生命的律例，不作罪孽，他必定存活，不致死亡。
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
他所犯的一切罪必不被记念。他行了正直与合理的事，必定存活。
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
“你本国的子民还说：‘主的道不公平。’其实他们的道不公平。
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
义人转离他的义而作罪孽，就必因此死亡。
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
恶人转离他的恶，行正直与合理的事，就必因此存活。
20 Yet all of you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O all of you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
你们还说：‘主的道不公平。’以色列家啊，我必按你们各人所行的审判你们。”
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
我们被掳之后十二年十月初五日，有人从耶路撒冷逃到我这里，说：“城已攻破。”
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
逃来的人未到前一日的晚上，耶和华的灵降在我身上，开我的口。到第二日早晨，那人来到我这里，我口就开了，不再缄默。
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说：
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
“人子啊，住在以色列荒废之地的人说：‘亚伯拉罕独自一人能得这地为业，我们人数众多，这地更是给我们为业的。’
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; All of you eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall all of you possess the land?
所以你要对他们说，主耶和华如此说：你们吃带血的物，仰望偶像，并且杀人流血，你们还能得这地为业吗？
26 All of you stand upon your sword, all of you work abomination, and all of you defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall all of you possess the land?
你们倚仗自己的刀剑行可憎的事，人人玷污邻舍的妻，你们还能得这地为业吗？
27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
你要对他们这样说，主耶和华如此说：我指着我的永生起誓，在荒场中的，必倒在刀下；在田野间的，必交给野兽吞吃；在保障和洞里的，必遭瘟疫而死。
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
我必使这地荒凉，令人惊骇；她因势力而有的骄傲也必止息。以色列的山都必荒凉，无人经过。
29 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
我因他们所行一切可憎的事使地荒凉，令人惊骇。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
30 Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
“人子啊，你本国的子民在墙垣旁边、在房屋门口谈论你。弟兄对弟兄彼此说：‘来吧！听听有什么话从耶和华而出。’
31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness.
他们来到你这里如同民来聚会，坐在你面前仿佛是我的民。他们听你的话却不去行；因为他们的口多显爱情，心却追随财利。
32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
他们看你如善于奏乐、声音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌，他们听你的话却不去行。
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
看哪，所说的快要应验；应验了，他们就知道在他们中间有了先知。”
