被带到耶路撒冷的异象

¹第六年六月初五日，我坐在家中；犹大的众长老坐在我面前。在那里主耶和华的灵（原文是手）降在我身上。In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.

²我观看，见有形象仿佛火的形状，从他腰以下的形状有火，从他腰以上有光辉的形状，仿佛光耀的精金。Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.

³他伸出仿佛一只手的样式，抓住我的一绺头发，灵就将我举到天地中间，在　神的异象中，带我到耶路撒冷朝北的内院门口，在那里有触动主怒偶像的坐位，就是惹动忌邪的。He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.

⁴谁知，在那里有以色列　神的荣耀，形状与我在平原所见的一样。And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.

惹忌邪的偶像

⁵神对我说：“人子啊，你举目向北观看。”我就举目向北观看，见祭坛门的北边，在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像；“Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.

⁶又对我说：“人子啊，以色列家所行的，就是在此行这大可憎的事，使我远离我的圣所，你看见了吗？你还要看见另有大可憎的事。”“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”

暗室中的七十个长老

⁷他领我到院门口。我观看，见墙上有个窟窿。Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.

⁸他对我说：“人子啊，你要挖墙。”我一挖墙，见有一门。“Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.

⁹他说：“你进去，看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。”Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”

¹⁰我进去一看，谁知，在四面墙上画着各样爬物和可憎的走兽，并以色列家一切的偶像。So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.

¹¹在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立，沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中。各人手拿香炉，烟云的香气上腾。Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.

¹²他对我说：“人子啊，以色列家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的，你看见了吗？他们常说：‘耶和华看不见我们；耶和华已经离弃这地。’”“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”

¹³他又说：“你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事。”Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”

妇女为搭模斯哭泣

¹⁴他领我到耶和华殿外院朝北的门口。谁知，在那里有妇女坐着，为搭模斯哭泣。Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.

¹⁵他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？你还要看见比这更可憎的事。”“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”

背向圣殿拜日头

¹⁶他又领我到耶和华殿的内院。谁知，在耶和华的殿门口、廊子和祭坛中间，约有二十五个人背向耶和华的殿，面向东方拜日头。So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.

¹⁷他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了吗？犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小吗？他们在这地遍行强暴，再三惹我发怒，他们手拿枝条举向鼻前。“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!

¹⁸因此，我也要以忿怒行事，我眼必不顾惜，也不可怜他们；他们虽向我耳中大声呼求，我还是不听。”Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”

在叹息的人额上画记号

¹他向我耳中大声喊叫说：“要使那监管这城的人手中各拿灭命的兵器前来。”Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.”

²忽然有六个人从朝北的上门而来，各人手拿杀人的兵器；内中有一人身穿细麻衣，腰间带着墨盒子。他们进来，站在铜祭坛旁。And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.

³以色列　神的荣耀本在基路伯上，现今从那里升到殿的门槛。　神将那身穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人召来。Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side.

⁴耶和华对他说：“你去走遍耶路撒冷全城，那些因城中所行可憎之事叹息哀哭的人，画记号在额上。”“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.”

⁵我耳中听见他对其余的人说：“要跟随他走遍全城，以行击杀。你们的眼不要顾惜，也不要可怜他们。And as I listened, He said to the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing; do not show pity or spare anyone!

⁶要将年老的、年少的，并处女、婴孩，和妇女，从圣所起全都杀尽，只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他。”于是他们从殿前的长老杀起。Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

⁷他对他们说：“要污秽这殿，使院中充满被杀的人。你们出去吧！”他们就出去，在城中击杀。Then He told them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city.

先知为剩下的人求情

⁸他们击杀的时候，我被留下，我就俯伏在地，说：“哎！主耶和华啊，你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷，岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝吗？”While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire remnant of Israel?”

⁹他对我说：“以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大。遍地有流血的事，满城有冤屈，因为他们说：‘耶和华已经离弃这地，他看不见我们。’He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’

¹⁰故此，我眼必不顾惜，也不可怜他们，要照他们所行的报应在他们头上。”But as for Me, I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. I will bring their deeds down upon their own heads.”

¹¹那穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人将这事回复说：“我已经照你所吩咐的行了。”Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”

火炭撒在城上

¹我观看，见基路伯头上的穹苍之中，显出蓝宝石的形状，仿佛宝座的形象。And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.

²主对那穿细麻衣的人说：“你进去，在旋转的轮内基路伯以下，从基路伯中间将火炭取满两手，撒在城上。”我就见他进去。And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.

³那人进去的时候，基路伯站在殿的右边，云彩充满了内院。Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.

⁴耶和华的荣耀从基路伯那里上升，停在门槛以上；殿内满了云彩，院宇也被耶和华荣耀的光辉充满。Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.

⁵基路伯翅膀的响声听到外院，好像全能　神说话的声音。The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

⁶他吩咐那穿细麻衣的人说：“要从旋转的轮内基路伯中间取火。”那人就进去站在一个轮子旁边。When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

⁷有一个基路伯从基路伯中伸手到基路伯中间的火那里，取些放在那穿细麻衣的人两手中，那人就拿出去了。Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.

⁸在基路伯翅膀之下，显出有人手的样式。(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

基路伯和轮子

⁹我又观看，见基路伯旁边有四个轮子。这基路伯旁有一个轮子，那基路伯旁有一个轮子，每基路伯都是如此；轮子的颜色（原文是形状）仿佛水苍玉。Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.

¹⁰至于四轮的形状，都是一个样式，仿佛轮中套轮。As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.

¹¹轮行走的时候，向四方都能直行，并不掉转。头向何方，他们也随向何方，行走的时候并不掉转。When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.

¹²他们全身，连背带手和翅膀，并轮周围都满了眼睛。这四个基路伯的轮子都是如此。Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.

¹³至于这些轮子，我耳中听见说是旋转的。I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”

¹⁴基路伯各有四脸：第一是基路伯的脸，第二是人的脸，第三是狮子的脸，第四是鹰的脸。Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

¹⁵基路伯升上去了；这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见的活物。Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.

¹⁶基路伯行走，轮也在旁边行走。基路伯展开翅膀，离地上升，轮也不转离他们旁边。When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.

¹⁷那些站住，这些也站住；那些上升，这些也一同上升，因为活物的灵在轮中。When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

荣耀离开圣殿

¹⁸耶和华的荣耀从殿的门槛那里出去，停在基路伯以上。Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.

¹⁹基路伯出去的时候，就展开翅膀，在我眼前离地上升。轮也在他们的旁边，都停在耶和华殿的东门口。在他们以上有以色列　神的荣耀。As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.

²⁰这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见、以色列　神荣耀以下的活物，我就知道他们是基路伯。These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

²¹各有四个脸面，四个翅膀，翅膀以下有人手的样式。Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

²²至于他们脸的模样，并身体的形象，是我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的。他们俱各直往前行。Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.

这城是锅，我们是肉

¹灵将我举起，带到耶和华殿向东的东门。谁知，在门口有二十五个人，我见其中有民间的首领押朔的儿子雅撒尼亚和比拿雅的儿子毗拉提。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.

²耶和华对我说：“人子啊，这就是图谋罪孽的人，在这城中给人设恶谋。And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.

³他们说：‘盖房屋的时候尚未临近；这城是锅，我们是肉。’They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

⁴人子啊，因此你当说预言，说预言攻击他们。”Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”

⁵耶和华的灵降在我身上，对我说：“你当说，耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们口中所说的，心里所想的，我都知道。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.

⁶你们在这城中杀人增多，使被杀的人充满街道。You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

⁷所以主耶和华如此说：你们杀在城中的人就是肉，这城就是锅；你们却要从其中被带出去。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.

⁸你们怕刀剑，我必使刀剑临到你们。这是主耶和华说的。You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.

⁹我必从这城中带出你们去，交在外邦人的手中，且要在你们中间施行审判。I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.

¹⁰你们必倒在刀下；我必在以色列的境界审判你们，你们就知道我是耶和华。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.

¹¹这城必不作你们的锅，你们也不作其中的肉。我必在以色列的境界审判你们，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.

¹²你们就知道我是耶和华；因为你们没有遵行我的律例，也没有顺从我的典章，却随从你们四围列国的恶规。”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.”

¹³我正说预言的时候，比拿雅的儿子毗拉提死了。于是我俯伏在地，大声呼叫说：“哎！主耶和华啊，你要将以色列剩下的人灭绝净尽吗？”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?”

神要作被掳者的圣所

¹⁴耶和华的话临到我说：Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹⁵“人子啊，耶路撒冷的居民对你的弟兄、你的本族、你的亲属、以色列全家，就是对大众说：‘你们远离耶和华吧！这地是赐给我们为业的。’“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.’

¹⁶所以你当说：‘耶和华如此说：我虽将以色列全家远远迁移到列国中，将他们分散在列邦内，我还要在他们所到的列邦，暂作他们的圣所。’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.’

¹⁷你当说：‘主耶和华如此说：我必从万民中招聚你们，从分散的列国内聚集你们，又要将以色列地赐给你们。’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.’

¹⁸他们必到那里，也必从其中除掉一切可憎可厌的物。When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.

除掉石心，赐给肉心

¹⁹我要使他们有合一的心，也要将新灵放在他们里面，又从他们肉体中除掉石心，赐给他们肉心，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,

²⁰使他们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的　神。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.

²¹至于那些心中随从可憎可厌之物的，我必照他们所行的报应在他们头上。这是主耶和华说的。”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.”

荣耀停在城东的山上

²²于是，基路伯展开翅膀，轮子都在他们旁边；在他们以上有以色列　神的荣耀。Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

²³耶和华的荣耀从城中上升，停在城东的那座山上。And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.

²⁴灵将我举起，在异象中借着　神的灵将我带进迦勒底地，到被掳的人那里；我所见的异象就离我上升去了。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,

²⁵我便将耶和华所指示我的一切事都说给被掳的人听。I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.

试探不是从神来的

¹³人被试探，不可说：“我是被　神试探”；因为　神不能被恶试探，他也不试探人。When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.

¹⁴但各人被试探，乃是被自己的私欲牵引诱惑的。But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.

¹⁵私欲既怀了胎，就生出罪来；罪既长成，就生出死来。Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

美善的恩赐从上头来

¹⁶我亲爱的弟兄们，不要看错了。Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

¹⁷各样美善的恩赐和各样全备的赏赐都是从上头来的，从众光之父那里降下来的；在他并没有改变，也没有转动的影儿。Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

¹⁸他按自己的旨意，用真道生了我们，叫我们在他所造的万物中好像初熟的果子。He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.

快快地听，慢慢地说

¹⁹我亲爱的弟兄们，这是你们所知道的。但你们各人要快快地听，慢慢地说，慢慢地动怒，My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

²⁰因为人的怒气并不成就　神的义。for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

²¹所以，你们要脱去一切的污秽和盈余的邪恶，存温柔的心领受那所栽种的道，就是能救你们灵魂的道。Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.

要行道，不要单单听道

²²只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己。Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

²³因为听道而不行道的，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目，For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,

²⁴看见，走后，随即忘了他的相貌如何。and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

²⁵惟有详细察看那全备、使人自由之律法的，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.

清洁没有玷污的虔诚

²⁶若有人自以为虔诚，却不勒住他的舌头，反欺哄自己的心，这人的虔诚是虚的。If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

²⁷在　神我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
