在迦巴鲁河边看见异象

¹当三十年四月初五日，以西结（原文是我）在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人中，天就开了，得见　神的异象。In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the River Kebar, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.

²正是约雅斤王被掳去第五年四月初五日，On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—

³在迦勒底人之地、迦巴鲁河边，耶和华的话特特临到布西的儿子祭司以西结；耶和华的灵（原文是手）降在他身上。the word of the LORD came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar. And there the LORD’s hand was upon him.

火云中的四个活物

⁴我观看，见狂风从北方刮来，随着有一朵包括闪烁火的大云，周围有光辉；从其中的火内发出好像光耀的精金；I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a gleam like amber,

⁵又从其中显出四个活物的形象来。他们的形状是这样：有人的形象，and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,

⁶各有四个脸面，四个翅膀。but each had four faces and four wings.

⁷他们的腿是直的，脚掌好像牛犊之蹄，都灿烂如光明的铜。Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.

⁸在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。这四个活物的脸和翅膀乃是这样：Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,

⁹翅膀彼此相接，行走并不转身，俱各直往前行。and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.

¹⁰至于脸的形象：前面各有人的脸，右面各有狮子的脸，左面各有牛的脸，后面各有鹰的脸。The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.

¹¹各展开上边的两个翅膀相接，各以下边的两个翅膀遮体。Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.

¹²他们俱各直往前行。灵往哪里去，他们就往那里去，行走并不转身。Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.

¹³至于四活物的形象，就如烧着火炭的形状，又如火把的形状。火在四活物中间上去下来，这火有光辉，从火中发出闪电。In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

¹⁴这活物往来奔走，好像电光一闪。The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.

轮中套轮

¹⁵我正观看活物的时候，见活物的脸旁各有一轮在地上。When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.

¹⁶轮的形状和颜色（原文是作法）好像水苍玉。四轮都是一个样式，形状和作法好像轮中套轮。The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel.

¹⁷轮行走的时候，向四方都能直行，并不掉转。As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.

¹⁸至于轮辋，高而可畏；四个轮辋周围满有眼睛。Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

¹⁹活物行走，轮也在旁边行走；活物从地上升，轮也都上升。So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.

²⁰灵往哪里去，活物就往那里去；活物上升，轮也在活物旁边上升，因为活物的灵在轮中。Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

²¹那些行走，这些也行走；那些站住，这些也站住；那些从地上升，轮也在旁边上升，因为活物的灵在轮中。When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

穹苍上的宝座

²²活物的头以上有穹苍的形象，看着像可畏的水晶，铺张在活物的头以上。Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an awesome expanse, gleaming like crystal.

²³穹苍以下，活物的翅膀直张，彼此相对；每活物有两个翅膀遮体。And under the expanse, their wings stretched out toward one another. Each one also had two wings covering its body.

²⁴活物行走的时候，我听见翅膀的响声，像大水的声音，像全能者的声音，也像军队哄嚷的声音。活物站住的时候，便将翅膀垂下。When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

²⁵在他们头以上的穹苍之上有声音。他们站住的时候，便将翅膀垂下。And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.

²⁶在他们头以上的穹苍之上有宝座的形象，仿佛蓝宝石；在宝座形象以上有仿佛人的形状。Above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like that of a man.

²⁷我见从他腰以上有仿佛光耀的精金，周围都有火的形状，又见从他腰以下有仿佛火的形状，周围也有光辉。From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him.

²⁸下雨的日子，云中虹的形状怎样，周围光辉的形状也是怎样。这就是耶和华荣耀的形象。我一看见就俯伏在地，又听见一位说话的声音。The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.

差你往悖逆之家

¹他对我说：“人子啊，你站起来，我要和你说话。”“Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”

²他对我说话的时候，灵就进入我里面，使我站起来，我便听见那位对我说话的声音。And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.

³他对我说：“人子啊，我差你往悖逆的国民以色列人那里去。他们是悖逆我的，他们和他们的列祖违背我，直到今日。“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.

⁴这众子面无羞耻，心里刚硬。我差你往他们那里去，你要对他们说：主耶和华如此说。They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’

⁵他们或听，或不听，（他们是悖逆之家），必知道在他们中间有了先知。And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.

⁶人子啊，虽有荆棘和蒺藜在你那里，你又住在蝎子中间，总不要怕他们，也不要怕他们的话；他们虽是悖逆之家，还不要怕他们的话，也不要因他们的脸色惊惶。But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.

⁷他们或听，或不听，你只管将我的话告诉他们；他们是极其悖逆的。But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

吃下书卷

⁸人子啊，要听我对你所说的话，不要悖逆像那悖逆之家，你要开口吃我所赐给你的。”And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

⁹我观看，见有一只手向我伸出来，手中有一书卷。Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,

¹⁰他将书卷在我面前展开，内外都写着字，其上所写的有哀号、叹息、悲痛的话。which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.

¹他对我说：“人子啊，要吃你所得的，要吃这书卷，好去对以色列家讲说。”“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”

²于是我开口，他就使我吃这书卷，So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.

³又对我说：“人子啊，要吃我所赐给你的这书卷，充满你的肚腹。”我就吃了，口中觉得其甜如蜜。“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

使你的额硬过他们的额

⁴他对我说：“人子啊，你往以色列家那里去，将我的话对他们讲说。Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.

⁵你奉差遣不是往那说话深奥、言语难懂的民那里去，乃是往以色列家去；For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—

⁶不是往那说话深奥、言语难懂的多国去，他们的话语是你不懂得的。我若差你往他们那里去，他们必听从你。not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

⁷以色列家却不肯听从你，因为他们不肯听从我；原来以色列全家是额坚心硬的人。But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.

⁸看哪，我使你的脸硬过他们的脸，使你的额硬过他们的额。Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

⁹我使你的额像金钢钻，比火石更硬。他们虽是悖逆之家，你不要怕他们，也不要因他们的脸色惊惶。”I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”

¹⁰他又对我说：“人子啊，我对你所说的一切话，要心里领会，耳中听闻。“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.

¹¹你往你本国被掳的子民那里去，他们或听，或不听，你要对他们讲说，告诉他们这是主耶和华说的。”Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”

灵将我举起

¹²那时，灵将我举起，我就听见在我身后有震动轰轰的声音，说：“从耶和华的所在显出来的荣耀是该称颂的！”Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: “Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!”

¹³我又听见那活物翅膀相碰，与活物旁边轮子旋转震动轰轰的响声。It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.

¹⁴于是灵将我举起，带我而去。我心中甚苦，灵性忿激，并且耶和华的灵（原文是手）在我身上大有能力。So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.

¹⁵我就来到提勒·亚毕，住在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人那里，到他们所住的地方，在他们中间忧忧闷闷地坐了七日。I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.

立你作守望的人

¹⁶过了七日，耶和华的话临到我说：At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹⁷“人子啊，我立你作以色列家守望的人，所以你要听我口中的话，替我警戒他们。“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.

¹⁸我何时指着恶人说：他必要死；你若不警戒他，也不劝戒他，使他离开恶行，拯救他的性命，这恶人必死在罪孽之中；我却要向你讨他丧命的罪（原文是血）。If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.

¹⁹倘若你警戒恶人，他仍不转离罪恶，也不离开恶行，他必死在罪孽之中，你却救自己脱离了罪。But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.

²⁰再者，义人何时离义而犯罪，我将绊脚石放在他面前，他就必死；因你没有警戒他，他必死在罪中，他素来所行的义不被记念；我却要向你讨他丧命的罪（原文是血）。Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.

²¹倘若你警戒义人，使他不犯罪，他就不犯罪；他因受警戒就必存活，你也救自己脱离了罪。”But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”

关在屋里，舌头贴住上膛

²²耶和华的灵（原文是手）在那里降在我身上。他对我说：“你起来往平原去，我要在那里和你说话。”And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

²³于是我起来往平原去，不料，耶和华的荣耀正如我在迦巴鲁河边所见的一样，停在那里，我就俯伏于地。So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.

²⁴灵就进入我里面，使我站起来。耶和华对我说：“你进房屋去，将门关上。Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

²⁵人子啊，人必用绳索捆绑你，你就不能出去在他们中间来往。And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.

²⁶我必使你的舌头贴住上膛，以致你哑口，不能作责备他们的人；他们原是悖逆之家。I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.

²⁷但我对你说话的时候，必使你开口，你就要对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说。’听的可以听，不听的任他不听，因为他们是悖逆之家。”But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
