以西結書 37
1 上主的手臨於我，上主的神引我出去，把我放在平原中，那裏佈滿了骨頭；
There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
2 他領我在骨頭周圍走了一遭；見平原上骨頭的確很多，又很乾枯。
and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.
3 他問我說：「人子，這些骨頭可以復生嗎﹖」我答說：「吾主上主! 你知道。」
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, 'O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.'
4 他對我說：「你可向這些骨頭講預言，向他們說：乾枯的骨頭，聽上主的話罷!
And He saith unto me, 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:
5 吾主上主對這些骨頭這樣說：看，我要使氣息進入你們內，你們必要復活。
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
6 我給你們放上筋，加上肉，包上皮，把氣息注入你們內，你們就復活了：如此，你們便要承認我是上主。」
and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
7 於是我遵命講預言。正當我講預言時，忽然有一個響聲，一陣震動，骨頭與骨頭互鄉結合起來。
And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.
8 我望見他們身上有了筋，生了肉，包了皮，但他們還沒有氣息。
And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none in them.
9 上主對我說：「你應向氣息講預言! 人子，應向氣息講預言說：吾主上主這樣說：氣息，你應由四方來，吹在這些被殺的人身上，使他們復活。」
And He saith unto me: 'Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'
10 我遵命一講了預言，氣息就進入他們內，他們遂復活了，並且站了起來；實在是一支龐大的軍隊。
And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.
11 上主對我說：「人子，這些骨頭就是以色列家族。他們常說：我們的骨頭乾枯了，絕望了，我們都完了!
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.
12 為此，你向他們講預言說：吾主上主這樣說：看，我要親自打開你們的墳墓；我的百姓，我要從你們的墳墓中把你們領出來，引你們進入以色列地域。
Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.
13 我的百姓! 當我打開你們的墳墓，把你們從墳墓內領出來的時候，你們便承認我是上主。
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
14 我要把我的神注入你們內，使你們復活，叫你們安居在你們的地域內，那時，你們便要承認我，上主言出必行－吾主上主的斷語。」
And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.'
15 上主的話傳給我說：「
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
16 人子，你拿一塊木頭，上面寫：『猶大和他的同族以色列子民。』再拿另一塊木頭，上面寫：『若瑟──厄弗辣因的木頭──和他的同族的以色列子民。』
'And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
17 以後，你把兩塊木頭連成一塊，在你手中成為一塊。
and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.
18 若你民族的子民詢問你說：這是什麼意思，你不能告訴我們嗎﹖
'And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?
19 你要回答他們說：吾主上主這樣說：看，我要拿若瑟的──即在厄弗辣因手中的──和他的同族以色列支派的木頭，將它同猶大的木頭連結成為一塊木頭，在我手中只成為一塊。
Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
20 你應把在上面寫過字的兩塊木頭，拿在你手中，在他們面前，
And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,
21 對他們說：吾主上主這樣說：看，我要把以色列子民從他們所到的異民中領出，把他們由各方聚集起來，引他們回到自己的地域；
and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.
22 我要使他們在那地和以色列山上成為一個民族，他們只有一位國王，不再是兩個民族，不再分為兩個國家；
And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.
23 他們也不再為他們的偶像、怪物和各種邪惡所玷污；我要把他們由他們因背約所犯的各種罪過中救拔出來，淨化他們，成為我的民族，我作他們的天主。
Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for God.
24 我的僕人達味要作他們的國王，他們全體只有一個牧人；他們要遵行我的法律，謹守我的誡命，且一一實行；
And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.
25 他們要安居在我賜給我的僕人雅各伯，即他們的祖先所居住的地方；他們、他們的兒子，他們的子子孫孫直到永遠住在那裏；我的僕人達味永遠作他們的領袖。
And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.
26 我要同他們訂立和平的盟約，同他們訂立永遠的盟約；我要厚待他們，使他們昌盛，且在他們中立我的聖所，直到永遠。
And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.
27 我的住所也設在他們中間；我要作他們的天主，他們要作我的百姓。
And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
28 當我的聖所永遠在他們中間時，異民便承認我是祝聖以色列的天主。」
And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!'
