以西结书 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
遷移的預兆
12 耶和華的話又臨到我說: 2 “人子啊!你是住在叛逆的民族之中;他們有眼睛可以看,卻看不見;他們有耳朵可以聽,卻聽不見,因為他們是叛逆的民族。 3 因此,人子啊!你要為自己預備被擄時所需的東西,在日間當著他們眼前離去,從你所住的地方移居別處;他們雖然是叛逆的民族,或者他們可以看得明白。 4 你要在日間當著他們眼前,把你的東西(好像被擄時所需的物件)搬出來,到了晚上,你要當著他們眼前出去,像被擄的人出去一樣。 5 你要當著他們眼前把牆挖穿,把你的東西從那裡帶出去。 6 到了天黑,你要當著他們眼前把這些東西扛在肩頭上帶出去;你要蒙住你的臉,使你看不見這地,因為我已經立你作以色列家的一個兆頭。”
7 於是我照著所吩咐的去行,在日間我把我的東西(好像被擄時所需的物件)搬出來;到了晚上,我用手把牆挖穿;天黑的時候,我就當著他們眼前把這些東西扛在肩頭上帶出去。
預兆的意義
8 到了早晨,耶和華的話臨到我說: 9 “人子啊!以色列家,就是叛逆的民族,不是問你:‘你在作甚麼呢?’ 10 你要對他們說:‘主耶和華這樣說:這默示(“默示”原文作“擔子”)是關乎耶路撒冷的君王,和在它中間的以色列全家。’ 11 你要說:‘我作你們的一個兆頭,我怎樣行,他們的遭遇也必怎樣;他們必被擄去。’ 12 他們中間的君王必在天黑的時候,把東西扛在肩頭上,從他們挖穿的牆帶出去;他必蒙住自己的臉,不能看見這地。 13 我要把我的網撒在他身上,他必被我的網羅網住;我要把他帶到巴比倫,就是迦勒底人之地;他不會看見那地,卻要死在那裡。 14 我要把他周圍所有的人,就是所有幫助他的和他所有的軍隊,分散到四方去,也要拔出刀來追趕他們。 15 我使他們四散到列邦中,分散在各地的時候,他們就知道我是耶和華。 16 然而我卻要留下他們少數的人,免受刀劍、饑荒和瘟疫之害,好使他們在所到的列國中,述說他們一切可憎惡的事,他們就知道我是耶和華。”
戰懼驚惶的預兆
17 耶和華的話又臨到我說: 18 “人子啊!你要戰戰兢兢地吃你的飯,滿心憂慮地喝你的水。 19 你要對這地的人民說:‘論到耶路撒冷的居民和以色列地,主耶和華這樣說:他們要滿心憂慮地吃他們的飯,十分驚惶地喝他們的水;因為所有居民的強暴,這地必全然荒涼。 20 有人居住的城市必成為荒場,這地必然荒涼,你們就知道我是耶和華。’”
神的預言必要應驗
21 耶和華的話臨到我說: 22 “人子啊!你們在以色列地怎麼有這一句俗語說:‘日子一天一天過去,所有異象都落空了’呢? 23 因此,你要對他們說:主耶和華這樣說:‘我必使這一句俗語不再流行,在以色列中,人必不再引用這句俗語。’你卻要對他們說:‘日子臨近了,所有異象都必應驗。’ 24 從此,在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。 25 我耶和華所說的,是我要說的話,我所說的必定成就,不再耽延。叛逆的民族啊!我所說的話必在你們還活著的日子成就。這是主耶和華的宣告。”
26 耶和華的話又臨到我說: 27 “人子啊!以色列家說:‘這人所見的異象是關乎許多年日以後的事,他所說的預言是指著遙遠的將來。’ 28 因此,你要對他們說:‘主耶和華這樣說:我所有的話,必沒有一句再耽延;我所說的,都必成就。這是主耶和華的宣告。’”
Ezekiel 12
New International Version
The Exile Symbolized
12 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people.(A) They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.(B)
3 “Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings for exile and in the daytime, as they watch, set out and go from where you are to another place. Perhaps(C) they will understand,(D) though they are a rebellious people.(E) 4 During the daytime, while they watch, bring out your belongings packed for exile. Then in the evening, while they are watching, go out like those who go into exile.(F) 5 While they watch, dig through the wall(G) and take your belongings out through it. 6 Put them on your shoulder as they are watching and carry them out at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign(H) to the Israelites.”
7 So I did as I was commanded.(I) During the day I brought out my things packed for exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulders while they watched.
8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “Son of man, did not the Israelites, that rebellious people, ask you, ‘What are you doing?’(J)
10 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This prophecy concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the Israelites who are there.’ 11 Say to them, ‘I am a sign(K) to you.’
“As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.(L)
12 “The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk(M) and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.(N) 13 I will spread my net(O) for him, and he will be caught in my snare;(P) I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans,(Q) but he will not see(R) it, and there he will die.(S) 14 I will scatter to the winds all those around him—his staff and all his troops—and I will pursue them with drawn sword.(T)
15 “They will know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations(U) and scatter them through the countries. 16 But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(V)”
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 18 “Son of man, tremble as you eat your food,(W) and shudder in fear as you drink your water. 19 Say to the people of the land: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything(X) in it because of the violence of all who live there.(Y) 20 The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(Z)’”
There Will Be No Delay
21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb(AA) you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’?(AB) 23 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near(AC) when every vision will be fulfilled.(AD) 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations(AE) among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay.(AF) For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill(AG) whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AH)’”
26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’(AI)
28 “Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
Ezekiel 12
King James Version
12 The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying.
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 12
New King James Version
Judah’s Captivity Portrayed
12 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of (A)a rebellious house, which (B)has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; (C)for they are a rebellious house.
3 “Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for captivity, and go into captivity by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into captivity to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. 4 By day you shall bring out your belongings in their sight, as though going into captivity; and at evening you shall go in their sight, like those who go into captivity. 5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your belongings out through it. 6 In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, (D)for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, (E)the rebellious house, said to you, (F)‘What are you doing?’ 10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “This (G)burden[a] concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.” ’ 11 Say, (H)‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so shall it be done to them; (I)they shall be carried away into captivity.’ 12 And (J)the prince who is among them shall bear his belongings on his shoulder at twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it. He shall cover his face, so that he cannot see the ground with his eyes. 13 I will also spread My (K)net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. (L)I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there. 14 (M)I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and (N)I will draw out the sword after them.
15 (O)“Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. 16 (P)But I will spare a few of their men from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the Gentiles wherever they go. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Judgment Not Postponed
17 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (Q)eat your bread with [b]quaking, and drink your water with trembling and anxiety. 19 And say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the land of Israel: “They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dread, so that her land may (R)be emptied of all who are in it, (S)because of the violence of all those who dwell in it. 20 Then the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
21 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, (T)‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? 23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘ (U)“The days are at hand, and the [c]fulfillment of every vision. 24 For (V)no more shall there be any (W)false[d] vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord. I speak, and (X)the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and (Y)perform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 (Z)“Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is (AA)for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 (AB)Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak (AC)will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”
