Ezekiel 12
1 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2 Son of man. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, — Who have eyes to see—and have not seen. Ears have they to hear—and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.
「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 Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes, —so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider— though a perverse house, they are.
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 Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes, —and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to 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 Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, —and carry forth through it.
你要在他們眼前挖通了牆，從其中將物件帶出去。
6 Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee 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 And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth—on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.
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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, saying:
次日早晨，耶和華的話臨到我說：
9 Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, — What art thou 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 unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, — [For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel such as are in their midst.
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: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile—into captivity, shall they go.
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 Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to bear forth through it, — His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land.
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 Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die!
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 And all who are round about him to help him and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind, —and, a sword, will I make bare 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 So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, — By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands.
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 Yet will I leave remaining of them men easily counted, from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence, —that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
18 Son of man, Thy bread with trembling, shalt thou eat, — And, thy water in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.
「人子啊，你吃飯必膽戰，喝水必惶惶憂慮。
19 Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem upon the soil of Israel, Their bread with anxious care, shall they eat, And, their water in astonishment, shall they drink, — That her land, may be deserted, of her fulness, because of the violence of all them who dwell therein:
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 Yea, the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, And, the land, shall become, an astonishment, — So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
耶和華的話臨到我說：
22 Son of man What is this proverb ye have, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, — The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?
「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 Therefore say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, — But speak unto them, The days, are drawn near, And the substance 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 no more be— Any vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of 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, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, — For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
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 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
27 Son of man. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath he prophesied.
「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 say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, — Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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。』」
