以西结书 37
1 耶和华的灵降在我身上。耶和华借他的灵带我出去，将我放在平原中；这平原遍满骸骨。
The hand of Yahweh, being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, —and the same was full of bones;
2 他使我从骸骨的四围经过，谁知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且极其枯干。
and he caused me to pass near them. round about on every side, —and lo! they were very many on the face of the plain, and lo! they were very dry.
3 他对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？”我说：“主耶和华啊，你是知道的。”
Then said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones, live? And I said My Lord Yahweh, thou, knowest!
4 他又对我说：“你向这些骸骨发预言说：枯干的骸骨啊，要听耶和华的话。
Then said he unto me, Prophesy, over these bones, —and thou shalt say unto them, Ye bones so dry! hear ye the word of Yahweh!
5 主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说：‘我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。
Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, — Lo! I am about to bring into you— spirit, and ye shall live;
6 我必给你们加上筋，使你们长肉，又将皮遮蔽你们，使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了；你们便知道我是耶和华。’”
Yea I will lay upon you—sinews, And bring up over you flesh. And cover over you—skin, And put in you—spirit And ye shall live, Then shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
7 于是，我遵命说预言。正说预言的时候，不料，有响声，有地震；骨与骨互相联络。
And when I prophesied as I was commanded, then was there a noise, as I prophesied and lo! a rattling, and the bones came near, each bone unto its own bone.
8 我观看，见骸骨上有筋，也长了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是还没有气息。
And when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within them.
9 主对我说：“人子啊，你要发预言，向风发预言，说主耶和华如此说：气息啊，要从四方而来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们活了。”
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain That they may live.
10 于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队。
And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 主对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨就是以色列全家。他们说：‘我们的骨头枯干了，我们的指望失去了，我们灭绝净尽了。’
Then said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, — Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite cut off!
12 所以你要发预言对他们说，主耶和华如此说：‘我的民哪，我必开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，领你们进入以色列地。
Therefore prophesy and thou shalt say unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo I myself am going to open your graves And will cause you to come up out of your graves. O my people, — And will bring you upon the soil of Israel.
13 我的民哪，我开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，你们就知道我是耶和华。
So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, — When I open your graves. And cause you to come up out of your graves O my people,
14 我必将我的灵放在你们里面，你们就要活了。我将你们安置在本地，你们就知道我—耶和华如此说，也如此成就了。这是耶和华说的。’”
And I will put my spirit within you and ye shall live, And I will settle you upon your own soil, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh have spoken and have performed. Declareth Yahweh.
15 耶和华的话又临到我说：
And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
16 “人子啊，你要取一根木杖，在其上写‘为犹大和他的同伴以色列人’；又取一根木杖，在其上写‘为约瑟，就是为以法莲，又为他的同伴以色列全家’。
Thou therefore Son of man Take thee one stick, and write upon it For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions.
17 你要使这两根木杖接连为一，在你手中成为一根。
Then bring them near—the one to the other —for thee into one stick, - And they shall become united in thy hand.
18 你本国的子民问你说：‘这是什么意思？你不指示我们吗？’
And when the sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, - Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to thee?
19 你就对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：我要将约瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖，就是那在以法莲手中的，与犹大的杖一同接连为一，在我手中成为一根。’
speak unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I, myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph. which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, — And I will place them upon it even upon the stick of Judah. And will make of them one stick, And they shall become one in my hand.
20 你所写的那两根杖要在他们眼前拿在手中，
And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand before their eyes.
21 要对他们说，主耶和华如此说：我要将以色列人从他们所到的各国收取，又从四围聚集他们，引导他们归回本地。
Therefore speak thou unto them Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I myself, am going to take the sons of Israel, from among the nations whither they have gone, — And I will gather them from every side, And will bring them in upon their own soil;
22 我要使他们在那地，在以色列山上成为一国，有一王作他们众民的王。他们不再为二国，决不再分为二国；
And will make of them one nation in the land. among the mountains of Israel, And one king, shall they all have for king, —And they shall remain no longer two nations, Nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more.
23 也不再因偶像和可憎的物，并一切的罪过玷污自己。我却要救他们出离一切的住处，就是他们犯罪的地方；我要洁净他们，如此，他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神。
Neither shall they defile themselves any more With their manufactured gods or With their detestable things, or With any of their transgressions, - But I will save them out of all their dwelling- places, wherein they have sinned, And I will cleanse them And they shall become my people, And I, will become their God.
24 “我的仆人大卫必作他们的王；众民必归一个牧人。他们必顺从我的典章，谨守遵行我的律例。
And my servant David shall be king over them, And one shepherd, shall they all have, And in my regulations, shall they walk, And my statutes, shall they observe and do them.
25 他们必住在我赐给我仆人雅各的地上，就是你们列祖所住之地。他们和他们的子孙，并子孙的子孙，都永远住在那里。我的仆人大卫必作他们的王，直到永远。
And they shall dwell upon the land. which I gave to my servant- to Jacob, Wherein your fathers dwelt, — Yea they shall dwell thereupon. They, and their children and their children’s children Unto times age-abiding, And David my servant shall be prince unto them Unto times age-abiding.
26 并且我要与他们立平安的约，作为永约。我也要将他们安置在本地，使他们的人数增多，又在他们中间设立我的圣所，直到永远。
And I will solemnise to them a covenant of prosperity, A covenant age-abiding, shall it be with them, — And I will place them. And multiply them, And set my sanctuary in the midst of them. Unto times age-abiding.
27 我的居所必在他们中间；我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
And my habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God, - And they, shall become my people,
28 我的圣所在以色列人中间直到永远，外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成为圣的耶和华。”
So shall the nations know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing Israel, - When my sanctuary is in the midst of them Unto times age-abiding.
