¹吃書卷他對我說：“人子啊，把你得到的吃下去吧！吃下這書卷，然後去向以色列家說話。”

¹He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

²於是我把口張開，他就給我吃下那書卷。

²So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

³他又對我說：“人子啊！把我賜給你的那書卷吃下去，填滿你的肚子。”於是我吃了，這書卷在我口裡像蜜糖一樣甘甜。

³He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

⁴受主訓勉他對我說：“人子啊，你去！到以色列家那裡，把我的話告訴他們。

⁴He said to me, Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.

⁵你受差派不是到一個說話難明、言語難懂的民族那裡去，而是到以色列家去；

⁵For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

⁶不是到說話難明、言語難懂的眾多民族那裡去，他們的話是你聽不懂的。但是，如果我差派你到他們那裡去，他們必聽從你。

⁶not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.

⁷以色列家卻不肯聽從你，因為他們不肯聽從我，整個以色列家都是額堅心硬的。

⁷But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate Literally, have a hard forehead and hard-hearted.

⁸看哪！我要使你的臉硬過他們的臉，使你的額硬過他們的額。

⁸Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

⁹我要使你的額好像最堅硬的寶石，比火石更硬。他們雖然是叛逆的民族，你卻不要怕他們，在他們面前，也不要驚惶。”

⁹As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

¹⁰他又對我說：“人子啊！我對你說的一切話，你都要留心聽，記在心裡。

¹⁰Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

¹¹你去，到被擄的人民那裡，向他們宣講；他們或聽或不聽，你只要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說。’”

¹¹Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

¹²那時，靈使我升起，我就聽見後面有轟轟的響聲：“耶和華的居所顯現出來的榮耀是應當稱頌的！”

¹²Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place.

¹³我又聽見那些活物的翅膀彼此相碰的聲音和活物旁邊的輪子的聲音，以及轟轟的響聲。

¹³I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

¹⁴靈使我升起，把我提去。那時我心靈忿激、愁苦。耶和華的手強而有力臨到我身上。

¹⁴So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Yahweh was strong on me.

¹⁵於是我來到提勒．亞畢被擄的人那裡，他們住在迦巴魯河邊。我在他們居住的地方坐了七天，在他們中間震驚得不知所措。

¹⁵Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

¹⁶以色列家的守望者（結33:1~9）過了七天，耶和華的話臨到我說：

¹⁶It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁷“人子啊，我立了你作以色列家守望的人，所以你要聆聽我口中的話，替我警告他們。

¹⁷Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.

¹⁸如果我對惡人說：‘你必定死亡！’你卻不警告他，也不警戒他離開惡行，好救他的性命，這惡人就必因自己的罪孽死亡。但我要因他的死追究你。

¹⁸When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

¹⁹如果你警告惡人，他仍不離開他的罪惡和他的惡行，他就必因自己的罪孽死亡，你卻救了自己的性命。

¹⁹Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

²⁰如果義人偏離正義，行事邪惡，我必把絆腳石放在他面前，他必定死亡；因為你沒有警告他，他必因自己的罪死亡。他素常所行的義，也必不被記念。但我要因他的死追究你。

²⁰Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

²¹如果你警告義人不要犯罪，他就不犯罪。他因為接受警告，就必存活，你也救了自己的性命。”

²¹Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.

²²暫時緘口不言耶和華的手在那裡臨到我身上，他對我說：“你起來，出到平原去，在那裡我要向你說話。”

²²The hand of Yahweh was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.

²³於是，我起來，出到平原去，看見耶和華的榮耀停在那裡，這榮耀就像我在迦巴魯河邊看見的一樣。於是我俯伏在地。

²³Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and behold, the glory of Yahweh stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

²⁴靈進到我裡面，使我站立起來，耶和華對我說：“你進去，把自己關在家裡。

²⁴Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself inside your house.

²⁵人子啊！人要用繩子把你捆綁起來，使你不能出到他們中間去。

²⁵But you, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

²⁶我要使你的舌頭貼住上膛，使你變成啞巴，不能作責備他們的人，因為他們是叛逆的民族。

²⁶and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷但我對你說話的時候，我必開你的口，你就要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說。’肯聽的就讓他聽，不肯聽的，就由他不聽吧，因為他們是叛逆的民族。”

²⁷But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
