以西結書 12
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你住在悖逆的家中。他們有眼睛看不見，有耳朵聽不見，因為他們是悖逆之家。
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.
3 所以人子啊，你要預備擄去使用的物件，在白日當他們眼前從你所住的地方移到別處去；他們雖是悖逆之家，或者可以揣摩思想。
Thou therefore, son of man, prepare thyself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and thou shalt be led into captivity from thy place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.
4 你要在白日當他們眼前帶出你的物件去，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，你要在他們眼前親自出去，像被擄的人出去一樣。
And thou shalt carry forth thy baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.
5 你要在他們眼前挖通了牆，從其中將物件帶出去。
Dig for thyself into the wall [of the house], and thou shalt pass through it in their sight:
6 到天黑時，你要當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去，並要蒙住臉看不見地，因為我立你作以色列家的預兆。」
thou shalt be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shalt go forth in secret: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: because I have made thee a sign to the house of Israel.
7 我就照着所吩咐的去行，白日帶出我的物件，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，我用手挖通了牆。天黑的時候，就當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去。
And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.
8 次日早晨，耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,
9 「人子啊，以色列家，就是那悖逆之家，豈不是問你說：『你做甚麼呢？』
Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee, What doest thou?
10 你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：這是關乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周圍以色列全家的預表。』
Say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:
11 你要說：『我作你們的預兆：我怎樣行，他們所遭遇的也必怎樣，他們必被擄去。』
say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.
12 他們中間的君王也必在天黑的時候將物件搭在肩頭上帶出去。他們要挖通了牆，從其中帶出去。他必蒙住臉，眼看不見地。
And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.
13 我必將我的網撒在他身上，他必在我的網羅中纏住。我必帶他到迦勒底人之地的巴比倫；他雖死在那裏，卻看不見那地。
And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 周圍一切幫助他的和他所有的軍隊，我必分散四方，也要拔刀追趕他們。
And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;
15 我將他們四散在列國、分散在列邦的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.
16 我卻要留下他們幾個人得免刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫，使他們在所到的各國中述說他們一切可憎的事，人就知道我是耶和華。」
And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 「人子啊，你吃飯必膽戰，喝水必惶惶憂慮。
Son of man, eat thy bread with sorrow, and drink [thy] water with torment and affliction.
19 你要對這地的百姓說：主耶和華論耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此說，他們吃飯必憂慮，喝水必驚惶。因其中居住的眾人所行強暴的事，這地必然荒廢，一無所存。
And thou shalt say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.
20 有居民的城邑必變為荒場，地也必變為荒廢；你們就知道我是耶和華。」
And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
22 「人子啊，在你們以色列地怎麼有這俗語，說『日子遲延，一切異象都落了空』呢？
Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that ye say, The days are long, the vision has perished?
23 你要告訴他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我必使這俗語止息，以色列中不再用這俗語。』你卻要對他們說：『日子臨近，一切的異象必都應驗。』
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for thou shalt say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.
24 從此，在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。
For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.
25 我－耶和華說話，所說的必定成就，不再耽延。你們這悖逆之家，我所說的話必趁你們在世的日子成就。這是主耶和華說的。」
For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], saith the Lord.
26 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27 「人子啊，以色列家的人說：『他所見的異象是關乎後來許多的日子，所說的預言是指着極遠的時候。』
Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.
28 所以你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我的話沒有一句再耽延的，我所說的必定成就。這是主耶和華說的。』」
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, saith the Lord.
