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，
“You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, 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, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto 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。
I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of 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。
You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.
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 on the open field, for I have spoken it,” says 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 a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then 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。
“‘“I will make my holy name known amongst my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. 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。
Behold, it comes, and it will be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day about 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。
“‘“Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years;
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──
so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them,” says 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。』
“‘“It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘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。
“‘“The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may 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──
Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified,” says 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。
“‘“They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will 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。』
Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers 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。
Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus 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。
“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, “Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat 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 shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings 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。
You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
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。
You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war,” says 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 set my glory amongst the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgement that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.
22 從那天起，以色列家族必要承認我，上主是他們的天主。
So the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward.
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。
The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and 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 did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. 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 shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid
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 have brought them back from the peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy amongst 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。
They will know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity amongst the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more.
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。」
I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord GOD.”
