Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”

他向我說：「人子，站起來! 我要同你講話。」

2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak 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, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.

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 The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’

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 [when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who 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 And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.

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 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] 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 human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I 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, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.

我觀望時，看，有一隻手向我伸來，手上有一卷書。

10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.

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。」
