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
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of the LORD, which faces east. And behold, at the entrance of the gateway there were twenty-five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
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。
And he said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city;
他們說：『蓋房屋的時候尚未臨近；這城是鍋，我們是肉。』
who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This city is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
人子啊，因此你當說預言，說預言攻擊他們。」
Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man.”
耶和華的靈降在我身上，對我說：「你當說，耶和華如此說：
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he said to me, “Say, Thus says the LORD: So you think, O house of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind.
你們在這城中殺人增多，使被殺的人充滿街道。
You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain.
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。
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it.
你們怕刀劍，我必使刀劍臨到你們。這是主耶和華說的。
You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord GOD.
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。
And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of foreigners, and execute judgments upon you.
你們必倒在刀下；我必在
You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
這城必不作你們的鍋，你們也不作其中的肉。我必在
This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel,
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。」
and you shall know that I am the LORD. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.”
我正說預言的時候，
And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
耶和華的話臨到我說：
And the word of the LORD came to me:
「人子啊，
“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the LORD; to us this land is given for a possession.’
所以你當說：『耶和華如此說：我雖將
Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’
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
Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’
他們必到那裏，也必從其中除掉一切可憎可厭的物。
And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations.
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，
And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
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，我要作他們的神。
that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
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。」
But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
於是，基路伯展開翅膀，輪子都在他們旁邊；在他們以上有
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
耶和華的榮耀從城中上升，停在城東的那座山上。
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain that is on the east side of the city.
靈將我舉起，在異象中藉著神的靈將我帶進
And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen went up from me.
我便將耶和華所指示我的一切事都說給被擄的人聽。
And I told the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me.
