以西結書 36
1 「人子，你向以色列群山講預言說：以色列群山，聽上主的話罷!
Forsothe thou, sone of man, profesie on the hillis of Israel; and thou schalt seie, Hillis of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord.
2 吾主上主這樣說：因為敵人曾論你們說：『哈! 永遠荒涼了，那地已成了我們的產業。』
The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that the enemy seide of you, Wel! euerlastyng hiynessis ben youun to vs in to eritage;
3 為此你要預言說：吾主上主這樣說：因人使你們荒涼了，從各方面侵蝕你們，使你們成為殘餘民族的產業，並使你們成為人們的口頭禪和話柄：
therefore profesie thou, and seie, The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that ye ben maad desolat, and defoulid bi cumpas, and ben maad in to eritage to othere folkis, and ye stieden on the lippe of tunge, and on the schenschipe of puple;
4 為此，以色列群山! 你們聽吾主上主的話罷! 吾主上主這樣對高山、丘陵、溪澗、山谷、荒涼的廢墟，以及那些曾為四周殘餘民族的掠物和笑柄而被遺棄的城邑說：
therfor, hillis of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord God. The Lord God seith these thingis to the mounteyns, and litle hillis, to strondis, and to valeis, and to peecis of wallis left, and to citees forsakun, that ben maad bare of puplis, and ben scorned of othere folkis bi cumpas;
5 吾主上主這樣說：我必在我妒火中發言攻斥各殘餘的民族和整個厄東，她們心裏懷著幸災樂禍，和輕視的心情，將我的地方據為自己的產業，劫掠它當作戰利品。
therfore the Lord God seith these thingis, For in the fier of my feruour Y spak of othere folkis, and of al Idumee, that yauen my lond in to eritage to hem silf with ioie `and al herte, and of entent, and castiden out it, to distrie it; therfor profesie thou on the erthe of Israel,
6 為此，你向以色列地域講預言，對高山、丘陵、溪澗和山谷說：吾主上主這樣說：因為你們遭受了異民的凌辱，看，我必在妒火和憤怒中發言。
and thou schalt seie to mounteyns, and litle hillis, to the hiynesse of hillis, and to valeis, The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that ye ben desolat, lo! Y spak in my feruour and in my strong veniaunce. For that that ye suffriden schenschipe of hethene men;
7 為此，吾主上主這樣說：我舉手起誓：你們四周的異民必要遭受他們當受的凌辱。
therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y reiside myn hond ayens hethene men, that ben in youre cumpas, that thei bere her schenschipe.
8 以色列群山，你們要給我的百姓以色列生出枝葉，結出果實，因為他們快來到了。
Forsothe, ye hillis of Israel, brynge forth youre braunchis, and bringe ye fruit to my puple Israel; for it is niy that it come.
9 看，我偕同你們，眷顧你們，使你們得以耕種，得以播種，
For lo! Y to you, and Y schal turne to you, and ye schulen be erid, and schulen take seed.
10 在你們那裏增加全以色列家族的人數，使城邑再有居民，廢墟得以重建。
And in you I schal multiplie men, and al the hous of Israel; and citees schulen be enhabitid, and ruynouse thingis schulen be reparelid.
11 我要在你們那裏，使人和牲畜的數目增多，他們要增加繁殖；我要使你們再有居民，如同昔日一樣，優待你們勝過先前，如此，你們便承認我是上主。
And Y schal fille you with men and beestis, and thei schulen be multiplied, and schulen encreesse; and Y schal make you to dwelle as at the bigynnyng, and Y schal rewarde with more goodis than ye hadden at the bigynnyng; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
12 我要引領人，即我的百姓以色列到你們上面，他們要佔領你，你要成為他們的產業，再不使他們喪失子女。
And Y schal brynge men on you, my puple Israel, and bi eritage thei schulen welde thee, and thou schalt be to hem in to eritage; and thou schalt no more leie to, that thou be with out hem.
13 吾主上主這樣說：因為人向你說：你吞噬了人，並使你的百姓喪失子女；
The Lord God seith these thingis, For that that thei seien of you, Thou art a deuouresse of men, and stranglist thi folk;
14 從此你不再吞噬人，也不再使你的百姓喪失子女──吾主上主的斷語──
therfor thou schalt no more ete men, and thou schalt no more sle thi folk, seith the Lord God.
15 我不再讓在你那裏聽到異民的凌辱，你也不再受異民咒罵，也不再使你的百姓喪失子女──吾主上主的斷語。」
And Y schal no more make herd in thee the schenschipe of hethene men, and thou schalt no more bere the schenschipe of puplis, and thou schalt no more leese thi folk, seith the Lord God.
16 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Thou,
17 人子，以色列家族住在自己的地域時，以自己的品行和作為玷污了此地，他們的品行在我面前好似經期的污穢。
sone of man, the hous of Israel dwelliden in her lond, and thei defouliden it in her weies, and in her studies; bi the vnclennesse of a womman in rotun blood the weie of hem is maad bifor me.
18 因他們在此地所流的血，又因他們的偶像玷污了此地，我遂在他們身上發洩我的憤怒，
And Y schedde out myn indignacioun on hem, for blood which thei schedden on the lond, and in her idols thei defouliden it.
19 將他們分散在異民中，散佈在各國，照他們的品行和作為懲罰了他們。
And Y scateride hem among hethene men, and thei weren wyndewid to londis; Y demede hem bi the weies and fyndyngis of hem.
20 他們到了應去的異民那裏，還褻瀆了我的聖名，因為人們論及他們說：『這些人原是雅威的百姓，但他們卻應當離開他的地域! 』
And thei entriden to hethene men, to whiche thei entriden, and defouliden myn hooli name, whanne it was seid of hem, This is the puple of the Lord, and thei yeden out of the lond of hym.
21 我遂憐惜我的聖名，即以色列家族在他們所到的異民中所褻瀆的聖名。
And Y sparide myn hooli name, which the hous of Israel hadde defoulid among hethene men, to whiche thei entriden.
22 為此，你要告訴以色列家族，吾主上主這樣說：以色列家族，我作這事並不是為了你們，而是為了我的聖名，即你們在所到的異民中所褻瀆的聖名。
Therfor thou schalt seie to the hous of Israel, The Lord God seith these thingis, O! ye hous of Israel, not for you Y schal do, but for myn hooli name, which ye defouliden among hethene men, to whiche ye entriden.
23 我要使我的大名顯聖，即在異民中被褻瀆，即你們在他們中所褻瀆的聖名；當我在你們身上，在他們眼前顯為聖的時候，異民就要承認我是上主──吾主上主的斷語。
And Y schal halewe my greet name, which is defoulid among hethene men, whiche ye defouliden in the myddis of hem; that hethene men wite, that Y am the Lord, seith the Lord of oostis, whanne Y schal be halewid in you before hem.
24 我要把你們從異民中領出，從各地聚集你們，領你們回到你們的地域。
For Y schal take awei you fro hethene men, and Y schal gadere you fro alle londis, and Y schal brynge you in to youre lond.
25 那時，我要在你們身上灑清水，潔淨你們，淨化你們，脫離各種不潔和各種偶像。
And Y schal schede out clene watir on you, and ye schulen be clensid fro alle youre filthis; and Y schal clense you fro alle youre idols.
26 我還要賜給你們一顆新心，在你們五內放上一種新的精神，從你們的肉身內取去鐵石的心，給你們換上一顆血肉的心。
And Y schal yyue to you a newe herte, and Y schal sette a newe spirit in the myddis of you; and Y schal do awei an herte of stoon fro youre fleisch, and Y schal yyue to you an herte of fleisch,
27 我要將我的神賜與你們五內，使你們遵行我的規律，恪守我的誡命，且一一實行。
and Y schal sette my spirit in the myddis of you. And Y schal make that ye go in my comaundementis, and kepe and worche my domes.
28 如此，你們要居住在我賜給你們祖先的地方；你們要作我的百姓，我作你們的天主。
And ye schulen dwelle in the lond, whiche Y yaf to youre fadris; and ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to a God to you.
29 我要救你們脫離各種不潔，命五穀豐登，不再讓你們遭受饑荒。
And Y schal saue you fro alle youre filthis; and Y schal clepe wheete, and Y schal multiplie it, and Y schal not put hungur on you.
30 我要使樹上的果實，天間的出產豐收，免得你們因饑荒受異民凌辱。
And Y schal multiplie the fruyt of tree, and the seedis of the feeld, that ye bere no more the schenschipe of hungur among hethene men.
31 那時你們記起了你們的惡行和那些不好的行為，連你們自己對你們的罪過和醜惡之事，也感覺討厭。
And ye schulen haue mynde on youre worste weies, and on studies not goode; and youre wickidnessis, and youre grete trespassis schulen displese you.
32 你們應清楚知道：我作這事並不是為了你們──吾主上主的斷語──以色列家族! 對你們的品行害羞慚愧罷們!
Not for you Y schal do, seith the Lord God, be it knowun to you; O! the hous of Israel, be ye schent, and be ye aschamed on youre weies.
33 吾主上主這樣說：在我潔化你們脫離各種罪過的那天，使城邑有人居住，廢墟得以重建，
The Lord God seith these thingis, In the dai in which Y schal clense you fro alle youre wickidnessis, and Y schal make citees to be enhabitid, and Y schal reparele ruynouse thingis,
34 在過客眼中曾為荒蕪的地方，再得以耕種之時，
and the desert lond schal be tilid, that was sum tyme desolat, bifor the iyen of ech weiegoere,
35 人們要說：那曾荒廢的地方，如今成了「伊甸」樂園；荒蕪廢棄和破壞的城邑，如今成了設防安居之地。
thei schulen seie, Thilke lond vntilid is maad as a gardyn of likyng, and citees forsakun and destitute and vndur myned saten maad strong; and hethene men,
36 如此，你們四周的殘餘民族便承認，是我上主重建了破壞的城，種植了荒廢的地。我上主言出必行。
whiche euer ben left in youre cumpas, schulen wite, that Y the Lord haue bildid distried thingis, and Y haue plauntid vntilid thingis; Y the Lord spak, and Y dide.
37 吾主上主這樣說：我還要讓以色列家族求我實行這事：叫他們的人數繁殖，多如羊群；
The Lord God seith these thingis, Yit in this thing the hous of Israel schulen fynde me, that Y do to hem; Y schal multiplie hem as the floc of men, as an hooli floc,
38 就如被奉獻的羊群，就如在慶節日耶路撒冷的羊群有多少，荒蕪的城邑也要充滿那麼多的人群：如此，他們便承認我是上主。」
as the floc of Jerusalem in the solempnytees therof, so the citees that ben forsakun, schulen be fulle of the flockis of men; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
