< Ezekiel 12 >
1 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
2 "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
「人子啊,你住在悖逆的家中。他們有眼睛看不見,有耳朵聽不見,因為他們是悖逆之家。
3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
所以人子啊,你要預備擄去使用的物件,在白日當他們眼前從你所住的地方移到別處去;他們雖是悖逆之家,或者可以揣摩思想。
4 You shall bring forth your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go forth yourself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
你要在白日當他們眼前帶出你的物件去,好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上,你要在他們眼前親自出去,像被擄的人出去一樣。
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.
你要在他們眼前挖通了牆,從其中將物件帶出去。
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; you shall cover your face, so that you do not see the land: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel."
到天黑時,你要當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去,並要蒙住臉看不見地,因為我立你作以色列家的預兆。」
7 I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
我就照着所吩咐的去行,白日帶出我的物件,好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上,我用手挖通了牆。天黑的時候,就當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去。
8 In the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
次日早晨,耶和華的話臨到我說:
9 "Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing?'
「人子啊,以色列家,就是那悖逆之家,豈不是問你說:『你做甚麼呢?』
10 Say to them, 'Thus says the LORD: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.'
你要對他們說:『主耶和華如此說:這是關乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周圍以色列全家的預表。』
11 Say, 'I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.'
你要說:『我作你們的預兆:我怎樣行,他們所遭遇的也必怎樣,他們必被擄去。』
12 "The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. He shall dig through the wall and carry it through: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
他們中間的君王也必在天黑的時候將物件搭在肩頭上帶出去。他們要挖通了牆,從其中帶出去。他必蒙住臉,眼看不見地。
13 My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
我必將我的網撒在他身上,他必在我的網羅中纏住。我必帶他到迦勒底人之地的巴比倫;他雖死在那裏,卻看不見那地。
14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
周圍一切幫助他的和他所有的軍隊,我必分散四方,也要拔刀追趕他們。
15 They shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
我將他們四散在列國、分散在列邦的時候,他們就知道我是耶和華。
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
我卻要留下他們幾個人得免刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫,使他們在所到的各國中述說他們一切可憎的事,人就知道我是耶和華。」
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
18 "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness;
「人子啊,你吃飯必膽戰,喝水必惶惶憂慮。
19 and tell the people of the land, 'Thus says the LORD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
你要對這地的百姓說:主耶和華論耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此說,他們吃飯必憂慮,喝水必驚惶。因其中居住的眾人所行強暴的事,這地必然荒廢,一無所存。
20 The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
有居民的城邑必變為荒場,地也必變為荒廢;你們就知道我是耶和華。」
21 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說:
22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, 'The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?'
「人子啊,在你們以色列地怎麼有這俗語,說『日子遲延,一切異象都落了空』呢?
23 Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the LORD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel'; but tell them, 'The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
你要告訴他們說:『主耶和華如此說:我必使這俗語止息,以色列中不再用這俗語。』你卻要對他們說:『日子臨近,一切的異象必都應驗。』
24 For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
從此,在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。
25 For I am the LORD; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it,' says the LORD."
我-耶和華說話,所說的必定成就,不再耽延。你們這悖逆之家,我所說的話必趁你們在世的日子成就。這是主耶和華說的。」
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說:
27 "Son of man, look, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.'
「人子啊,以色列家的人說:『他所見的異象是關乎後來許多的日子,所說的預言是指着極遠的時候。』
28 Therefore tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the LORD.'"
所以你要對他們說:『主耶和華如此說:我的話沒有一句再耽延的,我所說的必定成就。這是主耶和華說的。』」
