¹以西結受感作先知他對我說：“人子啊！站起來，我要跟你說話。”

¹He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.

²他對我說話的時候，靈就進到我裡面，使我站立起來；我又聽見對我說話的聲音。

²The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

³他對我說：“人子啊！我差派你到以色列人那裡去，就是到那背叛我的叛逆國民那裡去！他們和他們的列祖都得罪了我，直到今日。

³He said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

⁴這人民十分頑固，心裡剛硬，我差派你到他們那裡去。你要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說。’

⁴The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I am sending you to them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh.

⁵他們或聽或不聽（他們原是叛逆的民族），也必知道在他們中間有一位先知。

⁵They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

⁶以西結受　神訓勉“人子啊！至於你，雖然荊棘和蒺藜在你周圍，你又住在蠍子群中，你不要怕他們，也不要怕他們講的話。他們原是叛逆的民族，你總不要怕他們講的話，在他們面前，也不要驚惶。

⁶You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

⁷他們或聽或不聽，你只要把我的話告訴他們，他們原是叛逆的。

⁷You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

⁸看見書卷“人子啊！至於你，你要聽我對你講的話。不要叛逆我，像那叛逆的民族一樣。張開你的口，把我賜給你的吃下去！”

⁸But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.

⁹我觀看，看見一隻手向我伸過來，手中有一卷書卷。

⁹When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;

¹⁰他把書卷在我面前展開，書卷內外都寫上字，寫的是哀歌、悲歎和災禍。

¹⁰He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
