¹吃书卷

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

²于是我把口张开，他就给我吃下那书卷。

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

³他又对我说：“人子啊！把我赐给你的那书卷吃下去，填满你的肚子。”于是我吃了，这书卷在我口里像蜜糖一样甘甜。

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受主训勉他对我说：“人子啊，你去！到以色列家那里，把我的话告诉他们。

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

⁵你受差派不是到一个说话难明、言语难懂的民族那里去，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不是到说话难明、言语难懂的众多民族那里去，他们的话是你听不懂的。但是，如果我差派你到他们那里去，他们必听从你。

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以色列家却不肯听从你，因为他们不肯听从我，整个以色列家都是额坚心硬的。

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！我要使你的脸硬过他们的脸，使你的额硬过他们的额。

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

⁹我要使你的额好像最坚硬的宝石，比火石更硬。他们虽然是叛逆的民族，你却不要怕他们，在他们面前，也不要惊惶。”

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他又对我说：“人子啊！我对你说的一切话，你都要留心听，记在心里。

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，到被掳的人民那里，向他们宣讲；他们或听或不听，你只要对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说。’”

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那时，灵使我升起，我就听见后面有轰轰的响声：“耶和华的居所显现出来的荣耀是应当称颂的！”

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我又听见那些活物的翅膀彼此相碰的声音和活物旁边的轮子的声音，以及轰轰的响声。

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灵使我升起，把我提去。那时我心灵忿激、愁苦。耶和华的手强而有力临到我身上。

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于是我来到提勒．亚毕被掳的人那里，他们住在迦巴鲁河边。我在他们居住的地方坐了七天，在他们中间震惊得不知所措。

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（结33:1-9）过了七天，耶和华的话临到我说：

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，所以你要聆听我口中的话，替我警告他们。

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如果我对恶人说：‘你必定死亡！’你却不警告他，也不警戒他离开恶行，好救他的性命，这恶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如果你警告恶人，他仍不离开他的罪恶和他的恶行，他就必因自己的罪孽死亡，你却救了自己的性命。

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如果义人偏离正义，行事邪恶，我必把绊脚石放在他面前，他必定死亡；因为你没有警告他，他必因自己的罪死亡。他素常所行的义，也必不被记念。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如果你警告义人不要犯罪，他就不犯罪。他因为接受警告，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暂时缄口不言耶和华的手在那里临到我身上，他对我说：“你起来，出到平原去，在那里我要向你说话。”

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于是，我起来，出到平原去，看见耶和华的荣耀停在那里，这荣耀就像我在迦巴鲁河边看见的一样。于是我俯伏在地。

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灵进到我里面，使我站立起来，耶和华对我说：“你进去，把自己关在家里。

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！人要用绳子把你捆绑起来，使你不能出到他们中间去。

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我要使你的舌头贴住上膛，使你变成哑巴，不能作责备他们的人，因为他们是叛逆的民族。

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但我对你说话的时候，我必开你的口，你就要对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说。’肯听的就让他听，不肯听的，就由他不听吧，因为他们是叛逆的民族。”

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.
