1遷移的預兆耶和華的話又臨到我說：
1The word of Yahweh also came to me, saying,
2“人子啊！你是住在叛逆的民族之中；他們有眼睛可以看，卻看不見；他們有耳朵可以聽，卻聽不見，因為他們是叛逆的民族。
2Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
3因此，人子啊！你要為自己預備被擄時所需的東西，在日間當著他們眼前離去，從你所住的地方移居別處；他們雖然是叛逆的民族，或者他們可以看得明白。
3Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4你要在日間當著他們眼前，把你的東西（好像被擄時所需的物件）搬出來，到了晚上，你要當著他們眼前出去，像被擄的人出去一樣。
4You shall bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving; and you shall go forth yourself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
5你要當著他們眼前把牆挖穿，把你的東西從那裡帶出去。
5Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.
6到了天黑，你要當著他們眼前把這些東西扛在肩頭上帶出去；你要蒙住你的臉，使你看不見這地，因為我已經立你作以色列家的一個兆頭。”
6In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; you shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.
7於是我照著所吩咐的去行，在日間我把我的東西（好像被擄時所需的物件）搬出來；到了晚上，我用手把牆挖穿；天黑的時候，我就當著他們眼前把這些東西扛在肩頭上帶出去。
7I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8預兆的意義到了早晨，耶和華的話臨到我說：
8In the morning came the word of Yahweh to me, saying,
9“人子啊！以色列家，就是叛逆的民族，不是問你：‘你在作甚麼呢？’
9Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?
10你要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說：這默示（“默示”原文作“擔子”）是關乎耶路撒冷的君王，和以色列全家。’
10Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
11你要說：‘我作你們的一個兆頭，我怎樣行，他們的遭遇也必怎樣；他們必被擄去。’
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12他們中間的君王必在天黑的時候，把東西扛在肩頭上，從他們挖穿的牆帶出去；他必蒙住自己的臉，不能看見這地。
12The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
13我要把我的網撒在他身上，他必被我的網羅網住；我要把他帶到巴比倫，就是迦勒底人之地；他不會看見那地，卻要死在那裡。
13My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14我要把他周圍所有的人，就是所有幫助他的和他所有的軍隊，分散到四方去，也要拔出刀來追趕他們。
14I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15我使他們四散到列邦中，分散在各地的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。
15They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16然而我卻要留下他們少數的人，免受刀劍、饑荒和瘟疫之害，好使他們在所到的列國中，述說他們一切可憎惡的事，他們就知道我是耶和華。”
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
17戰懼驚惶的預兆耶和華的話又臨到我說：
17Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
18“人子啊！你要戰戰兢兢地吃你的飯，滿心憂慮地喝你的水。
18Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness;
19你要對這地的人民說：‘論到耶路撒冷的居民和以色列地，主耶和華這樣說：他們要滿心憂慮地吃他們的飯，十分驚惶地喝他們的水；因為所有居民的強暴，這地必全然荒涼。
19and tell the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20有人居住的城市必成為荒場，這地必然荒涼，你們就知道我是耶和華。’”
20The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
21 神的預言必要應驗耶和華的話臨到我說：
21The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
22“人子啊！你們在以色列地怎麼有這一句俗語說：‘日子一天一天過去，所有異象都落空了’呢？
22Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23因此，你要對他們說：主耶和華這樣說：‘我必使這一句俗語不再流行，在以色列中，人必不再引用這句俗語。’你卻要對他們說：‘日子臨近了，所有異象都必應驗。’
23Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but tell them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment 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。
24For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25我耶和華所說的，是我要說的話，我所說的必定成就，不再耽延。叛逆的民族啊！我所說的話必在你們還活著的日子成就。這是主耶和華的宣告。”
25For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.
26耶和華的話又臨到我說：
26Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
27“人子啊！以色列家說：‘這人所見的異象是關乎許多年日以後的事，他所說的預言是指著遙遠的將來。’
27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
28因此，你要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說：我所有的話，必沒有一句再耽延；我所說的，都必成就。這是主耶和華的宣告。’”
28Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the Lord Yahweh.
