1 Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.
2 And looking, I saw a form like fire; from the middle of his body and down there was fire: and up from the middle of his body a sort of shining, like electrum.
3 And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.
4 And I saw the glory of the Lord there, as in the vision which I saw in the valley.
5 Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.
7 And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.
8 And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.
9 And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.
10 So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.
11 And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.
12 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.
13 Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.
14 Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.
16 And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.
17 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.
18 For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity.
1 第六年六月五日， 我坐在家中， 犹大的众长老也坐在我面前， 在那里主耶和华的灵降在我身上。
2 我观看， 见有一形状好像人的样子， 在那仿佛是他腰部以下， 有火的样子， 在那仿佛是他腰部的以上有光辉的样子， 好像闪耀的金属。
3 他伸出一只形状像手的东西， 抓住我的一绺头发； 灵就把我提到天地之间， 在 神的异象中， 他把我带往耶路撒冷， 到圣殿北门内院的入口处， 在那里有令 神愤恨的偶像的座位。
4 不料， 在那里有以色列 神的荣耀， 形状与我在平原所见的一样。
5 他对我说： "人子啊！ 举目向北观看。"我就举目向北观看， 见祭坛门的北面， 在入口的地方， 有令 神愤恨的偶像。
6 他又对我说： "人子啊！ 以色列家在这里所行的， 就是他们行这极其可憎的事， 使我远离我的圣所， 你看见了吗？但你还要看见更加可憎的事。"
7 他领我到院子的门口； 我观看， 见墙上有一个洞。
8 他对我说： "人子啊， 挖墙吧！ "我就挖墙， 不料， 见有一道门。
9 他对我说： "你进去， 看看他们在那里所行可憎的恶事。"
10 于是我进去观看， 见四围的墙上刻着各种形状的爬行物， 和可憎恶的走兽， 以及以色列家所有的偶像。
11 站在这些像面前的有以色列家的七十个长老， 沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在他们中间； 各人手里拿着自己的香炉， 香的烟往上升。
12 他对我说： "人子啊！ 以色列家的众长老各在自己偶像的房间里暗中所行的， 你看见了吗？他们说： ‘耶和华看不见我们， 耶和华已经离开这地了。’"
13 他又对我说： "你还要看见他们行更加可憎的事。"
14 他领我到耶和华殿朝北的门口， 在那里有些妇女坐着， 为搭模斯哭泣。
15 他对我说： "人子啊， 你看见了吗？你还要看见比这些更可憎的事。"
16 他又领我到耶和华殿的内院， 在耶和华殿的门口， 就是在走廊和祭坛中间， 约有二十五个人， 背向耶和华的殿， 面向着东方； 他们正在朝着东面叩拜太阳。
17 他对我说： "人子啊， 你看见了吗？犹大家在这里行这可憎的事， 还算小事吗？他们使这地充满了强暴， 再三惹我发怒； 看哪！ 他们把树枝拿到自己的鼻前。
18 因此我要以烈怒待他们； 我的眼必不顾惜， 我也不怜恤； 他们虽然在我耳中大声呼求， 我还是不听他们。"
