< 以西结书 36 >
1 “人子啊,你要对以色列山发预言说:以色列山哪,要听耶和华的话。
“And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!
2 主耶和华如此说:因仇敌说:‘阿哈!这永久的山冈都归我们为业了!’
Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our possession,
3 所以要发预言说,主耶和华如此说:因为敌人使你荒凉,四围吞吃,好叫你归与其余的外邦人为业,并且多嘴多舌的人提起你来,百姓也说你有臭名。
therefore, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to the people.
4 故此,以色列山要听主耶和华的话。大山小冈、水沟山谷、荒废之地、被弃之城,为四围其余的外邦人所占据、所讥刺的,
Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,
5 主耶和华对你们如此说:我真发愤恨如火,责备那其余的外邦人和以东的众人。他们快乐满怀,心存恨恶,将我的地归自己为业,又看为被弃的掠物。
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
6 所以,你要指着以色列地说预言,对大山小冈、水沟山谷说,主耶和华如此说:我发愤恨和忿怒说,因你们曾受外邦人的羞辱,
Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of nations.
7 所以我起誓说:你们四围的外邦人总要担当自己的羞辱。这是主耶和华说的。
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?
8 “以色列山哪,你必发枝条,为我的民以色列结果子,因为他们快要来到。
And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.
9 看哪,我是帮助你的,也必向你转意,使你得以耕种。
For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.
10 我必使以色列全家的人数在你上面增多,城邑有人居住,荒场再被建造。
And I have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.
11 我必使人和牲畜在你上面加增;他们必生养众多。我要使你照旧有人居住,并要赐福与你比先前更多,你就知道我是耶和华。
And I have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
12 我必使人,就是我的民以色列,行在你上面。他们必得你为业;你也不再使他们丧子。
And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.
13 主耶和华如此说:因为人对你说:‘你是吞吃人的,又使国民丧子’,
Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,
14 所以主耶和华说:你必不再吞吃人,也不再使国民丧子。
Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
15 我使你不再听见各国的羞辱,不再受万民的辱骂,也不再使国民绊跌。这是主耶和华说的。”
And I do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
17 “人子啊,以色列家住在本地的时候,在行动作为上玷污那地。他们的行为在我面前,好像正在经期的妇人那样污秽。
“Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one before Me.
18 所以我因他们在那地上流人的血,又因他们以偶像玷污那地,就把我的忿怒倾在他们身上。
And I pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.
19 我将他们分散在列国,四散在列邦,按他们的行动作为惩罚他们。
And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.
20 他们到了所去的列国,就使我的圣名被亵渎;因为人谈论他们说,这是耶和华的民,是从耶和华的地出来的。
And one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.
21 我却顾惜我的圣名,就是以色列家在所到的列国中所亵渎的。
And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.
22 “所以,你要对以色列家说,主耶和华如此说:以色列家啊,我行这事不是为你们,乃是为我的圣名,就是在你们到的列国中所亵渎的。
Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.
23 我要使我的大名显为圣;这名在列国中已被亵渎,就是你们在他们中间所亵渎的。我在他们眼前,在你们身上显为圣的时候,他们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华说的。
And I have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
24 我必从各国收取你们,从列邦聚集你们,引导你们归回本地。
And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your land,
25 我必用清水洒在你们身上,你们就洁净了。我要洁净你们,使你们脱离一切的污秽,弃掉一切的偶像。
And I have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.
26 我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面,又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。
And I have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.
27 我必将我的灵放在你们里面,使你们顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章。
And I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done them.
28 你们必住在我所赐给你们列祖之地。你们要作我的子民,我要作你们的 神。
And you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
29 我必救你们脱离一切的污秽,也必命五谷丰登,不使你们遭遇饥荒。
And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on you.
30 我必使树木多结果子,田地多出土产,好叫你们不再因饥荒受外邦人的讥诮。
And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.
31 那时,你们必追想你们的恶行和你们不善的作为,就因你们的罪孽和可憎的事厌恶自己。
And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.
32 主耶和华说:你们要知道,我这样行不是为你们。以色列家啊,当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。
I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “主耶和华如此说:我洁净你们,使你们脱离一切罪孽的日子,必使城邑有人居住,荒场再被建造。
Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,
34 过路的人虽看为荒废之地,现今这荒废之地仍得耕种。
And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,
35 他们必说:‘这先前为荒废之地,现在成如伊甸园;这荒废凄凉、毁坏的城邑现在坚固有人居住。’
And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.
36 那时,在你们四围其余的外邦人必知道我—耶和华修造那毁坏之处,培植那荒废之地。我—耶和华说过,也必成就。
And the nations who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].
37 “主耶和华如此说:我要加增以色列家的人数,多如羊群。他们必为这事向我求问,我要给他们成就。
Thus said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,
38 耶路撒冷在守节作祭物所献的羊群怎样多,照样,荒凉的城邑必被人群充满。他们就知道我是耶和华。”
As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
