以西结书 3
1 他对我说：“人子啊，要吃你所得的，要吃这书卷，好去对以色列家讲说。”
And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
2 于是我开口，他就使我吃这书卷，
And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
3 又对我说：“人子啊，要吃我所赐给你的这书卷，充满你的肚腹。”我就吃了，口中觉得其甜如蜜。
And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 他对我说：“人子啊，你往以色列家那里去，将我的话对他们讲说。
And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
5 你奉差遣不是往那说话深奥、言语难懂的民那里去，乃是往以色列家去；
For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
6 不是往那说话深奥、言语难懂的多国去，他们的话语是你不懂得的。我若差你往他们那里去，他们必听从你。
Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
7 以色列家却不肯听从你，因为他们不肯听从我；原来以色列全家是额坚心硬的人。
But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
8 看哪，我使你的脸硬过他们的脸，使你的额硬过他们的额。
See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
9 我使你的额像金钢钻，比火石更硬。他们虽是悖逆之家，你不要怕他们，也不要因他们的脸色惊惶。”
Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
10 他又对我说：“人子啊，我对你所说的一切话，要心里领会，耳中听闻。
Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
11 你往你本国被掳的子民那里去，他们或听，或不听，你要对他们讲说，告诉他们这是主耶和华说的。”
And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
12 那时，灵将我举起，我就听见在我身后有震动轰轰的声音，说：“从耶和华的所在显出来的荣耀是该称颂的！”
Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
13 我又听见那活物翅膀相碰，与活物旁边轮子旋转震动轰轰的响声。
And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
14 于是灵将我举起，带我而去。我心中甚苦，灵性忿激，并且耶和华的灵在我身上大有能力。
And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
15 我就来到提勒·亚毕，住在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人那里，到他们所住的地方，在他们中间忧忧闷闷地坐了七日。
Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
16 过了七日，耶和华的话临到我说：
And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 “人子啊，我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。
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
18 我何时指着恶人说：他必要死；你若不警戒他，也不劝戒他，使他离开恶行，拯救他的性命，这恶人必死在罪孽之中；我却要向你讨他丧命的罪。
When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
19 倘若你警戒恶人，他仍不转离罪恶，也不离开恶行，他必死在罪孽之中，你却救自己脱离了罪。
But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
20 再者，义人何时离义而犯罪，我将绊脚石放在他面前，他就必死；因你没有警戒他，他必死在罪中，他素来所行的义不被记念；我却要向你讨他丧命的罪。
Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
21 倘若你警戒义人，使他不犯罪，他就不犯罪；他因受警戒就必存活，你也救自己脱离了罪。”
But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
22 耶和华的灵在那里降在我身上。他对我说：“你起来往平原去，我要在那里和你说话。”
And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.
23 于是我起来往平原去，不料，耶和华的荣耀正如我在迦巴鲁河边所见的一样，停在那里，我就俯伏于地。
Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
24 灵就进入我里面，使我站起来。耶和华对我说：“你进房屋去，将门关上。
Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.
25 人子啊，人必用绳索捆绑你，你就不能出去在他们中间来往。
But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
26 我必使你的舌头贴住上膛，以致你哑口，不能作责备他们的人；他们原是悖逆之家。
And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
27 但我对你说话的时候，必使你开口，你就要对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说。’听的可以听，不听的任他不听，因为他们是悖逆之家。”
But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
