Ezekiel 12
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; they have ears to hear, and they have not heard; for they [are] a house of rebellion.
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 And you, son of man, make your vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and you have removed from your place to another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
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 have brought forth your vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and you go forth in the evening before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
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 You dig through the wall before their eyes, and you have brought forth by it.
你還要在他們眼前在牆上穿一個洞，由那裏走過去。
6 Carry on the shoulder before their eyes, bring forth in the darkness, cover your face, and you do not see the earth, for I have given you [as] 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 do so, as I have been commanded; I have brought forth my vessels as vessels of removal by day, and I have dug through the wall with my hand in the evening; I have brought forth in the darkness, I have carried away on the shoulder, before their eyes.
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, in the morning, saying,
到了早晨，上主的話傳給我說：「
9 “Son of man, have they not said to you—the house of Israel—the house of rebellion—What are you doing?
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 said Lord YHWH: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
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] your sign; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they go.
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 As for the prince who [is] in their midst, he carries on the shoulder in the darkness, and he goes forth; they dig through the wall to bring forth by it; he covers his face that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
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 have spread My net for him, and he has been caught in My snare, and I have brought him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and he does not see it—and he dies 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 all who are around him to help him, and all his bands, I scatter to every wind, and I 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 have known that I [am] YHWH, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
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 have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations to where they have come, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
18 “Son of man, eat your bread in haste, and drink your water with trembling and with fear;
人子，你要戰戰兢兢地吃飯，懷著顫慄和惶恐喝水。
19 and you have said to the people of the land, Thus said Lord YHWH concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: They eat their bread with fear, and drink their water with astonishment, because its land is desolate, because of its fullness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
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 the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
22 “Son of man, what [is] this allegory to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every 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 said Lord YHWH: I have caused this allegory to cease, And they do not use it as an allegory in Israel again, But speak to them: The days have drawn near, And every vision has spoken.
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 is no longer any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house 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, YHWH, speak, The word that I speak—it is done, It is not prolonged anymore, For in your days, O house of rebellion, I speak a word, and I have done it, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
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 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
27 “Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he is seeing [is not] for many days, and he is prophesying of far-off times,
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 said Lord YHWH: None of My words are prolonged anymore, When I speak a word—it is done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
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。」
