Ezekiel 3
1 And He says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to 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 And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this scroll.
我遂張開口，他便使我吞下那卷書，
3 And He says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.
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 says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.
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 you [are] not sent to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue—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 peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they listen to you,
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 are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-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 Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.
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 As an adamant, harder than a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
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 And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear with your ears;
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 go forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”
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 And a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from 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 Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
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 And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on 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 And I come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
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 it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,
過了七天，上主的話傳給我說：「
17 that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned them 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 In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.
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 And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.
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 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from your 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 And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”
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 there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I speak with you.”
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 And I rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on 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 And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut up in the midst of your 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 And you, son of man, behold, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in their midst;
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 cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
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 And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
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。」
