Ezekiel 3
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
他對我說：「人子啊，要吃你所得的，要吃這書卷，好去對以色列家講說。」
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.
於是我開口，他就使我吃這書卷，
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
又對我說：「人子啊，要吃我所賜給你的這書卷，充滿你的肚腹。」我就吃了，口中覺得其甜如蜜。
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
他對我說：「人子啊，你往以色列家那裏去，將我的話對他們講說。
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
你奉差遣不是往那說話深奧、言語難懂的民那裏去，乃是往以色列家去；
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.
不是往那說話深奧、言語難懂的多國去，他們的話語是你不懂得的。我若差你往他們那裏去，他們必聽從你。
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of an hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
以色列家卻不肯聽從你，因為他們不肯聽從我；原來以色列全家是額堅心硬的人。
8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
看哪，我使你的臉硬過他們的臉，使你的額硬過他們的額。
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
我使你的額像金鋼鑽，比火石更硬。他們雖是悖逆之家，你不要怕他們，也不要因他們的臉色驚惶。」
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shalt speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
他又對我說：「人子啊，我對你所說的一切話，要心裏領會，耳中聽聞。
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
你往你本國被擄的子民那裏去，他們或聽，或不聽，你要對他們講說，告訴他們這是主耶和華說的。」
12 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
那時，靈將我舉起，我就聽見在我身後有震動轟轟的聲音，說：「從耶和華的所在顯出來的榮耀是該稱頌的！」
13 And [I heard] the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
我又聽見那活物翅膀相碰，與活物旁邊輪子旋轉震動轟轟的響聲。
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away: and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
於是靈將我舉起，帶我而去。我心中甚苦，靈性忿激，並且耶和華的靈在我身上大有能力。
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there astonied among them seven days.
我就來到提勒‧亞畢，住在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人那裏，到他們所住的地方，在他們中間憂憂悶悶地坐了七日。
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
過了七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
「人子啊，我立你作以色列家守望的人，所以你要聽我口中的話，替我警戒他們。
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood wilt I require at thine hand.
我何時指着惡人說：他必要死；你若不警戒他，也不勸戒他，使他離開惡行，拯救他的性命，這惡人必死在罪孽之中；我卻要向你討他喪命的罪。
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
倘若你警戒惡人，他仍不轉離罪惡，也不離開惡行，他必死在罪孽之中，你卻救自己脫離了罪。
20 Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
再者，義人何時離義而犯罪，我將絆腳石放在他面前，他就必死；因你沒有警戒他，他必死在罪中，他素來所行的義不被記念；我卻要向你討他喪命的罪。
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.
倘若你警戒義人，使他不犯罪，他就不犯罪；他因受警戒就必存活，你也救自己脫離了罪。」
22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
耶和華的靈在那裏降在我身上。他對我說：「你起來往平原去，我要在那裏和你說話。」
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell on my face.
於是我起來往平原去，不料，耶和華的榮耀正如我在迦巴魯河邊所見的一樣，停在那裏，我就俯伏於地。
24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
靈就進入我裏面，使我站起來。耶和華對我說：「你進房屋去，將門關上。
25 But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
人子啊，人必用繩索捆綁你，你就不能出去在他們中間來往。
26 and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
我必使你的舌頭貼住上膛，以致你啞口，不能作責備他們的人；他們原是悖逆之家。
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
但我對你說話的時候，必使你開口，你就要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說。』聽的可以聽，不聽的任他不聽，因為他們是悖逆之家。」
