Ezekiel 11

1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.

1 靈將我舉起，帶到耶和華殿向東的東門。誰知，在門口有二十五個人，我見其中有民間的首領押朔的兒子雅撒尼亞和比拿雅的兒子毗拉提。

2 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.

2 耶和華對我說：「人子啊，這就是圖謀罪孽的人，在這城中給人設惡謀。

3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

3 他們說：『蓋房屋的時候尚未臨近；這城是鍋，我們是肉。』

4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”

4 人子啊，因此你當說預言，說預言攻擊他們。」

5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.

5 耶和華的靈降在我身上，對我說：「你當說，耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，你們口中所說的，心裏所想的，我都知道。

6 You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

6 你們在這城中殺人增多，使被殺的人充滿街道。

7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.

7 所以主耶和華如此說：你們殺在城中的人就是肉，這城就是鍋；你們卻要從其中被帶出去。

8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.

8 你們怕刀劍，我必使刀劍臨到你們。這是主耶和華說的。

9 I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.

9 我必從這城中帶出你們去，交在外邦人的手中，且要在你們中間施行審判。

10 You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10 你們必倒在刀下；我必在以色列的境界審判你們，你們就知道我是耶和華。

11 The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.

11 這城必不作你們的鍋，你們也不作其中的肉。我必在以色列的境界審判你們，

12 Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”

12 你們就知道我是耶和華；因為你們沒有遵行我的律例，也沒有順從我的典章，卻隨從你們四圍列國的惡規。」

13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”

13 我正說預言的時候，比拿雅的兒子毗拉提死了。於是我俯伏在地，大聲呼叫說：「哎！主耶和華啊，你要將以色列剩下的人滅絕淨盡嗎？」

14 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

14 耶和華的話臨到我說：

15 “Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’

15 「人子啊，耶路撒冷的居民對你的弟兄、你的本族、你的親屬、以色列全家，就是對大眾說：『你們遠離耶和華吧！這地是賜給我們為業的。』

16 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’

16 所以你當說：『耶和華如此說：我雖將以色列全家遠遠遷移到列國中，將他們分散在列邦內，我還要在他們所到的列邦，暫作他們的聖所。』

17 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’

17 你當說：『主耶和華如此說：我必從萬民中招聚你們，從分散的列國內聚集你們，又要將以色列地賜給你們。』

18 When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.

18 他們必到那裏，也必從其中除掉一切可憎可厭的物。

19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,

19 我要使他們有合一的心，也要將新靈放在他們裏面，又從他們肉體中除掉石心，賜給他們肉心，

20 so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.

20 使他們順從我的律例，謹守遵行我的典章。他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的上帝。

21 But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

21 至於那些心中隨從可憎可厭之物的，我必照他們所行的報應在他們頭上。這是主耶和華說的。」

22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

22 於是，基路伯展開翅膀，輪子都在他們旁邊；在他們以上有以色列上帝的榮耀。

23 And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.

23 耶和華的榮耀從城中上升，停在城東的那座山上。

24 And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,

24 靈將我舉起，在異象中藉着上帝的靈將我帶進迦勒底地，到被擄的人那裏；我所見的異象就離我上升去了。

25 I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.

25 我便將耶和華所指示我的一切事都說給被擄的人聽。
