< 以西結書 39 >

1 「人子,你講預言攻斥哥格說:吾主上主這樣說:默舍客和突巴耳的最高領袖哥格,看,我要攻擊你,
“As for you, O son of man, prophesy against Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2 我要引誘你,挾持你,使你從極北之地上來,領你到以色列的山上,
I will turn you around, drive you along, bring you up from the far north, and send you against the mountains of Israel.
3 在那裏我要打掉你左手上的弓,打落你右手上的箭。
Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and dash down the arrows from your right hand.
4 你和你所有的軍隊,以及同你聯合的眾民,都要喪亡在以色列的山上;我要使你成為各種猛禽和野獸的食物。
On the mountains of Israel you will fall—you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to every kind of ravenous bird and wild beast.
5 你要喪亡在原野之上,這原是我親口說的──吾主上主的斷語──
You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
6 我要使火降到瑪哥格和那些安居在群島的人們身上:如此,他們必承認我是上主。
I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.
7 我也要在我的百姓以色列中間,顯揚我的聖名,再不讓我的名受到褻瀆:如此,異民便承認我是上主,是以色列的聖者。
So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 看,我所說的那一天,已經來近,必要實現──吾主上主的斷語。
Yes, it is coming, and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day of which I have spoken.
9 那時住在以色列各城的人必要出來,點火焚燒武器:有大小盾牌、弓、箭、槍和茅;他們將用來燒火,七年之久。
Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.
10 他們不必到田間拾柴,也不必到林中伐木,因為也武器可作柴燒;他們還要搶奪那些搶奪過他們的人,劫掠那些劫掠過他們的人──吾主上主的斷語──
They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use the weapons for fuel. They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.
11 在那一天,我要在以色列把一出名的地方,即死海以東阿巴陵山谷,給哥格作墳地;這山谷使過路的人止步,哥格和他的一切軍隊要埋在那裏,因此人叫那地方為『哥格群眾谷。』
And on that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Sea. It will block those who travel through, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.
12 以色列家族埋葬他們,為清除此地,要費時七個月。
For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.
13 那地方的全體百姓都要埋葬他們。在我顯示光榮的日子,為他們也要光榮──吾主上主的斷語──
All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day I display My glory, declares the Lord GOD.
14 他們還要派定一些人不斷巡邏那地,尋找在那地方遺留下的屍體,為清除那地;七個月之後它們仍繼續尋找。
And men will be employed to continually pass through the land to cleanse it by burying the invaders who remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search.
15 過路的人經過那地的時候,若發見一個人的骨骸,就在他旁邊放一個記號,等待埋葬的人將他埋葬在『哥格群眾谷。』
As they pass through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will set up a pillar next to it, until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.
16 那裏有一座城,要叫哈摩納。他們就這樣清除了那地。
(Even the city will be named Hamonah.) And so they will cleanse the land.
17 吾主上主這樣說:人子,你要向各種飛鳥,各樣野獸說:你們應集合前來,從四方來參加我給你們在以色列山上所準備的隆重祭餐,你們要吃肉飲血。
And as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: Call out to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
18 你們要吃將士的肉,飲各地王侯的血;還有山羊、綿羊、公山羊、牛犢,都是巴商的肥畜。
You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan.
19 你們要在我給你們準備的祭餐中,吃肉吃到飽,飲血飲到醉。
At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk.
20 你們在我的宴席上要飽食馬肉,戰馬、將士和所有軍人的肉──吾主上主的斷語。
And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
21 我要在異民中顯示我的光榮,萬民要看見我所施行的懲罰,看見是我舉手打擊了他們。
I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
22 從那天起,以色列家族必要承認我,上主是他們的天主。
From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23 異民也要知道以色列家族充軍,是為了他們的罪惡,因為他們違背了我,我遂掩面不顧他們,把他們交在敵人手中,全都喪身刀下。
And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
24 我按他們的罪過和惡行對待了他們,掩面不看他們。
I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.
25 為此吾主上主這樣說:現今我要轉變雅各伯的命運,憐恤以色列家族。為我的聖名而大發妒火。
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.
26 當他們安居在自己的地域中,沒有人來驚擾時,他們將忘記自己的恥辱和違背我所犯的一切抗命之罪。
They will forget their disgrace and all the treachery they committed against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with no one to frighten them.
27 當我從各民族中把他們領回,從他們敵人的地方聚集他們,在眾異民眼前,在他們身上顯聖時,
When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them out of the lands of their enemies, I will show My holiness in them in the sight of many nations.
28 他們必承認我上主是他們的天主,因為我將他們放逐於異民之中以後,又把他們聚集到自己的地方,一個也沒有留在異民中。
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations.
29 我不再掩面不看他們,因為我將我的神已傾注於以色列家族──吾主上主的斷語。」
And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.”
