Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说：
2 'Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land — when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
“人子啊，你要告诉本国的子民说：我使刀剑临到哪一国，那一国的民从他们中间选立一人为守望的。
3 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,
他见刀剑临到那地，若吹角警戒众民，
4 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head.
凡听见角声不受警戒的，刀剑若来除灭了他，他的罪就必归到自己的头上。
5 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
他听见角声，不受警戒，他的罪必归到自己的身上；他若受警戒，便是救了自己的性命。
6 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them — a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
倘若守望的人见刀剑临到，不吹角，以致民不受警戒，刀剑来杀了他们中间的一个人，他虽然死在罪孽之中，我却要向守望的人讨他丧命的罪。
7 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
“人子啊，我照样立你作以色列家守望的人。所以你要听我口中的话，替我警戒他们。
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one — thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He — the wicked — in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
我对恶人说：‘恶人哪，你必要死！’你—以西结若不开口警戒恶人，使他离开所行的道，这恶人必死在罪孽之中，我却要向你讨他丧命的罪。
9 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
倘若你警戒恶人转离所行的道，他仍不转离，他必死在罪孽之中，你却救自己脱离了罪。”
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do we live?
“人子啊，你要对以色列家说：‘你们常说：我们的过犯罪恶在我们身上，我们必因此消灭，怎能存活呢？’
11 Say unto them, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But — in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O house of Israel?
你对他们说，主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我断不喜悦恶人死亡，惟喜悦恶人转离所行的道而活。以色列家啊，你们转回，转回吧！离开恶道，何必死亡呢？
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
人子啊，你要对本国的人民说：义人的义，在犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日也不能使他倾倒；义人在犯罪之日也不能因他的义存活。
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And — he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
我对义人说：‘你必定存活！’他若倚靠他的义而作罪孽，他所行的义都不被记念。他必因所作的罪孽死亡。
14 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And — he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
再者，我对恶人说：‘你必定死亡！’他若转离他的罪，行正直与合理的事：
15 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth, ) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth not die.
还人的当头和所抢夺的，遵行生命的律例，不作罪孽，他必定存活，不致死亡。
16 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
他所犯的一切罪必不被记念。他行了正直与合理的事，必定存活。
17 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them — their way is not pondered.
“你本国的子民还说：‘主的道不公平。’其实他们的道不公平。
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity — he dieth for it.
义人转离他的义而作罪孽，就必因此死亡。
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
恶人转离他的恶，行正直与合理的事，就必因此存活。
20 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
你们还说：‘主的道不公平。’以色列家啊，我必按你们各人所行的审判你们。”
21 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year — in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month — of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, 'The city hath been smitten.'
我们被掳之后十二年十月初五日，有人从耶路撒冷逃到我这里，说：“城已攻破。”
22 And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
逃来的人未到前一日的晚上，耶和华的灵降在我身上，开我的口。到第二日早晨，那人来到我这里，我口就开了，不再缄默。
23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说：
24 'Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham — and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many — to us hath the land been given for a possession.
“人子啊，住在以色列荒废之地的人说：‘亚伯拉罕独自一人能得这地为业，我们人数众多，这地更是给我们为业的。’
25 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
所以你要对他们说，主耶和华如此说：你们吃带血的物，仰望偶像，并且杀人流血，你们还能得这地为业吗？
26 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
你们倚仗自己的刀剑行可憎的事，人人玷污邻舍的妻，你们还能得这地为业吗？
27 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
你要对他们这样说，主耶和华如此说：我指着我的永生起誓，在荒场中的，必倒在刀下；在田野间的，必交给野兽吞吃；在保障和洞里的，必遭瘟疫而死。
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
我必使这地荒凉，令人惊骇；她因势力而有的骄傲也必止息。以色列的山都必荒凉，无人经过。
29 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
我因他们所行一切可憎的事使地荒凉，令人惊骇。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
30 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from Jehovah.
“人子啊，你本国的子民在墙垣旁边、在房屋门口谈论你。弟兄对弟兄彼此说：‘来吧！听听有什么话从耶和华而出。’
31 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee — My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
他们来到你这里如同民来聚会，坐在你面前仿佛是我的民。他们听你的话却不去行；因为他们的口多显爱情，心却追随财利。
32 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
他们看你如善于奏乐、声音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌，他们听你的话却不去行。
33 And in its coming in — lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'
看哪，所说的快要应验；应验了，他们就知道在他们中间有了先知。”
