Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then go speak to 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 fed me that scroll.
於是我開口，他就使我吃這書卷，
3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
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 Then he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to 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 you are not being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult 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 strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
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 be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed and hard hearted.
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 your face as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.
看哪，我使你的臉硬過他們的臉，使你的額硬過他們的額。
9 I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since they are 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 Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them with your 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 Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will listen or not.”
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 sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh 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 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
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 The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing on 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 So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.
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 Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
過了七日，耶和華的話臨到我說：
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.
「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 to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from your 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 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.
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 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will require his blood from your 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 But if you warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”
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 So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with you there!”
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 I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so 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 The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within your 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 for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot 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 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since 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 you, I will open your mouth so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, 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。」
