Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”

他向我說：「人子，站起來! 我要同你講話。」

2 Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.

他向我講話時，有一種神力進入我內，使我站起來，也聽見他同我講話。

3 He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me—both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to this very day!

他向我說：「人子，我派遣你到以色列子民，到反抗我的那個叛逆的人民那裏去，他們和他們的祖先，直到今天還違背我。

4 Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.'

那些子民雖厚顏無恥，心腸頑硬，我仍派遣你到他們那裏，向他們說：吾主上主這樣說：

5 Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has been among them.

他們或是聽，或是不聽──他們原是叛逆的家族──終究要承認在他們中有一位先知。

6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.

人子，你不必怕他們，也不要怕他們說什麼，也不要怕他們反抗你，輕慢你，好像叫你坐在毒蠍之上；不要怕他們說什麼，在他們面前，也不要膽怯，因為他們是叛逆的家族。

7 But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most rebellious.

無論他們聽，或是不聽，你應向他們宣講我的話，他們原是叛逆的家族。」「

8 But you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”

人子，你要聽我向你講的話，你不要叛逆，像叛逆的家族。你要張口，把我給你的吞下。」

9 Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written scroll.

我觀望時，看，有一隻手向我伸來，手上有一卷書。

10 He spread it out before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.

他把那卷書在我面前展開，內外都寫著字，寫的是：「哀傷、悲歎和災禍。」
