人子歟、謂爾民族曰、我若使刃臨於一邦、是邦之民、簡其中一人、立為戍卒、

人子、當言與爾民、告之曰、如我使一國遭兵刃之災、其國之民、於其中選一人、置為守望者、

“ Son of man, speak to your people and say to them:‘ When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,

爾之同族、今已被虜、爾往見之、以我耶和華上帝之言相告、無論聽否。

爾民常言主耶和華所為、不秉大公、實眾所為偏頗。

人子、爾民在垣墉之側、門閾之間、彼此相語、指爾而言曰、來聽耶和華所傳之諭、

萬有之主耶和華曰、惟爾鋒刃、勃然而興、擊我牧者、伐我同儔、牧者擊矣、群羊散矣、式微之子、我將加以眷顧、

後余啟示爾、爾口能言、播傳我命、告彼悖逆之家、聽者任之、不聽者亦任之。

如我降以鋒刃、使其國人畜、悉行翦滅、

耶和華之劍、何時入鞘、鋒藏不試。耶和華既命之攻亞實基倫及海濱之人、焉能藏其鋒乎。

以法蓮他求應援、不恃我上帝、彼偽先知、備設羅網、專陷齊民、居於他上帝殿、蓄怨不已、

曠野童山、寇賊已至、遍於四境、民罹鋒刃、被吞噬、不享綏安、我使之然。

主耶和華又曰、爾懼鋒刃、我以鋒刃擊爾、

人子、當傳我命曰、磨礪鋒刃、光芒四射。鋒既利而行殺戮、光華閃爍、孰敢存喜樂之心哉、我民不畏杖箠、必擊以刃、加以磨礱、淬其光芒、俾殺人者執而用之。人子、爾當呼號哭泣、以刃擊以色列君民、百姓驚駭恐遭飲刃、故當擊髀浩嘆。主耶和華曰、既以艱難試我民、彼又不畏長上、其國必致淪亡。惟爾人子、當鼓爾掌、言未來事、使刃三至、殺戮人民、入諸密室、誅滅大人。我以鋒刃攻諸邑門、使人喪膽、使邑傾圮、蓋鋒刃閃爍、以備殺戮、其刃指揮莫定、或左或右、隨其方向、

主耶和華又曰、我使四災降於耶路撒冷、鋒刃、饑饉、暴獸、瘟疫、使人畜靡有孑遺、其害豈非尤重乎。

人子、我使爾為戍卒、稽察以色列家、必聽我命、代我示民、

大闢坐邑之月城間、戍卒登邑門之樓、遙見一人獨趨、呼告於王、王曰、如惟一人、必報信音。其人疾走漸近。戍卒又見一人趨至、告閽者曰、我又觀一人獨趨。王曰、彼亦報信者也。戍卒曰、我視首趨者之步履、與撒督子亞希馬斯無異。王曰、彼善人也、必報嘉音。

為爾背約、故以鋒刃擊爾、洩我忿怒。爾若集於邑垣、我必使疫癘流行、付爾於敵。

主謂我曰、遣戍稽察、有所見即呼告。適見驍騎、齊驅並駕、駝驢成群、於是傾耳諦聽、大聲呼曰、彼來若獅、我主與、余巡守已永朝矣、屹立已永夕矣、今見驍騎、齊驅並駕。曰、巴比倫城其傾圮乎、其傾圮乎、偶像遭毀、顛躓於地。

聲聞自地極、我耶和華欲罰列邦、降災億兆、使作惡者無不飲刃。

耶路撒冷城垣、必置邏卒以察之、凡籲耶和華者、當晝夜不息、求之不已、待其建造耶路撒冷、使輝耀於天下。

人子、當告民云、如善人陷罪、不因前善而獲救、惡人悛改、不因舊惡而殞亡、

有戍卒立於耶斯烈臺、遙見耶戶之軍將至曰、我見一軍。約藍曰、當遣騎者往迓之、問其為平康而至乎。騎者往迓之、曰、王使問爾、為平康而至否。耶戶曰、是平康與否、何涉爾事。當從我後。戍卒告曰、使者至彼、不見反命。再遣騎者、至則曰、王使問爾、為平康而至乎。耶戶曰、是平康與否、何涉爾事、當從我後。戍卒又告王曰、使者至彼、惟不反命。來者御車甚猛、有若寧示之孫耶戶。

又曰、當令野獸、來此吞噬、民之戍卒、目眯不明、守夜之犬、喑不能吠、或偃卧、或假寐。

如彼詰爾當往何處、爾必傳我命、告之曰、當死則死、當殺則殺、當饑則饑、當虜則虜。耶和華又曰、我降四災於厥身、刃以戮之、犬以嚙之、飛鳥以噬之、走獸以滅之。

曰、以色列山岡、宜聽主耶和華之言、我耶和華必使鋒刃、臨爾山岡、侵爾陵谷、圮爾崇邱、

如民問爾曰、作此何為、請以告我、
