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

¹以西结受感作先知

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

²他对我说话的时候，灵就进到我里面，使我站立起来；我又听见对我说话的声音。

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.

³他对我说：“人子啊！我差派你到以色列人那里去，就是到那背叛我的叛逆国民那里去！他们和他们的列祖都得罪了我，直到今日。

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.

⁴这人民十分顽固，心里刚硬，我差派你到他们那里去。你要对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说。’

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.

⁵他们或听或不听（他们原是叛逆的民族），也必知道在他们中间有一位先知。

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.

⁶以西结受　神训勉“人子啊！至于你，虽然荆棘和蒺藜在你周围，你又住在蝎子群中，你不要怕他们，也不要怕他们讲的话。他们原是叛逆的民族，你总不要怕他们讲的话，在他们面前，也不要惊惶。

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

⁷他们或听或不听，你只要把我的话告诉他们，他们原是叛逆的。

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.

⁸看见书卷“人子啊！至于你，你要听我对你讲的话。不要叛逆我，像那叛逆的民族一样。张开你的口，把我赐给你的吃下去！”

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

⁹我观看，看见一只手向我伸过来，手中有一卷书卷。

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

¹⁰他把书卷在我面前展开，书卷内外都写上字，写的是哀歌、悲叹和灾祸。
