¹以西结在异象中被提

¹And it cometh to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and elders of Judah are sitting before me, and fall on me there doth a hand of the Lord Jehovah,

²我观看，见有一形状好像人的样子，在那仿佛是他腰部以下，有火的样子，在那仿佛是他腰部的以上有光辉的样子，好像闪耀的金属。

²and I look, and lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward — fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of copper.

³他伸出一只形状像手的东西，抓住我的一绺头发；灵就把我提到天地之间，在　神的异象中，他把我带往耶路撒冷，到圣殿北门内院的入口处，在那里有令　神愤恨的偶像的座位。

³And He putteth forth a form of a hand, and taketh me by a lock of my head, and lift me up doth a spirit between the earth and the heavens, and it bringeth me in to Jerusalem in visions of God, unto the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where [is] the seat of the figure of jealousy that is making jealous,

⁴不料，在那里有以色列　神的荣耀，形状与我在平原所见的一样。

⁴and lo, there the honour of the God of Israel, as the appearance that I saw in the valley.

⁵耶路撒冷的偶像崇拜他对我说：“人子啊！举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，见祭坛门的北面，在入口的地方，有令　神愤恨的偶像。

⁵And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes the way of the north.` And I lift up mine eyes the way of the north, and lo, on the north of the gate of the altar this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.

⁶他又对我说：“人子啊！以色列家在这里所行的，就是他们行这极其可憎的事，使我远离我的圣所，你看见了吗？但你还要看见更加可憎的事。”

⁶And He saith unto me, `Son of man, art thou seeing what they are doing? the great abominations that the house of Israel are doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations.`

⁷他领我到院子的门口；我观看，见墙上有一个洞。

⁷And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall;

⁸他对我说：“人子啊，挖墙吧！”我就挖墙，不料，见有一道门。

⁸and He saith unto me, `Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;` and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening.

⁹他对我说：“你进去，看看他们在那里所行可憎的恶事。”

⁹And He saith to me, `Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.`

¹⁰于是我进去观看，见四围的墙上刻着各种形状的爬行物，和可憎恶的走兽，以及以色列家所有的偶像。

¹⁰And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast — and all the Idols of the house of Israel — graved on the wall, all round about,

¹¹站在这些像面前的有以色列家的七十个长老，沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在他们中间；各人手里拿着自己的香炉，香的烟往上升。

¹¹and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel — and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst — are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.

¹²他对我说：“人子啊！以色列家的众长老各在自己偶像的房间里暗中所行的，你看见了吗？他们说：‘耶和华看不见我们，耶和华已经离开这地了。’”

¹²And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?`

¹³他又对我说：“你还要看见他们行更加可憎的事。”

¹³And He saith unto me, `Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.`

¹⁴他领我到耶和华殿朝北的门口，在那里有些妇女坐着，为搭模斯哭泣。

¹⁴And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the women are sitting weeping for Tammuz.

¹⁵他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？你还要看见比这些更可憎的事。”

¹⁵And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man? again thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.`

¹⁶他又领我到耶和华殿的内院，在耶和华殿的门口，就是在走廊和祭坛中间，约有二十五个人，背向耶和华的殿，面向着东方；他们正在朝着东面叩拜太阳。

¹⁶And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.

¹⁷惩罚的警告他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？犹大家在这里行这可憎的事，还算小事吗？他们使这地充满了强暴，再三惹我发怒；看哪！他们把树枝拿到自己的鼻前。

¹⁷And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man? hath it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they are putting forth the branch unto their nose!

¹⁸因此我要以烈怒待他们；我的眼必不顾惜，我也不怜恤；他们虽然在我耳中大声呼求，我还是不听他们。”

¹⁸And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried in Mine ears — a loud voice — and I do not hear them.`
