以西結書 37
1 耶和華的靈降在我身上。耶和華藉他的靈帶我出去，將我放在平原中；這平原遍滿骸骨。
And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human bones.
2 他使我從骸骨的四圍經過，誰知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且極其枯乾。
And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, very dry.
3 他對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨能復活嗎？」我說：「主耶和華啊，你是知道的。」
And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, thou knowest this.
4 他又對我說：「你向這些骸骨發預言說：枯乾的骸骨啊，要聽耶和華的話。
And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and thou shalt say to them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 主耶和華對這些骸骨如此說：『我必使氣息進入你們裏面，你們就要活了。
Thus saith the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life:
6 我必給你們加上筋，使你們長肉，又將皮遮蔽你們，使氣息進入你們裏面，你們就要活了；你們便知道我是耶和華。』」
and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and will spread skin upon you, and will put my Spirit into you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 於是，我遵命說預言。正說預言的時候，不料，有響聲，有地震；骨與骨互相聯絡。
So I prophesied as [the Lord] commanded me: and it came to pass while I was prophesying, that, behold, [there was] a shaking, and the bones approached each one to his joint.
8 我觀看，見骸骨上有筋，也長了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是還沒有氣息。
And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh grew upon them, and skin came upon them above: but there was not breath in them.
9 主對我說：「人子啊，你要發預言，向風發預言，說主耶和華如此說：氣息啊，要從四方而來，吹在這些被殺的人身上，使他們活了。」
And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead [men], and let them live.
10 於是我遵命說預言，氣息就進入骸骨，骸骨便活了，並且站起來，成為極大的軍隊。
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath entered into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great congregation.
11 主對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨就是以色列全家。他們說：『我們的骨頭枯乾了，我們的指望失去了，我們滅絕淨盡了。』
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.
12 所以你要發預言對他們說，主耶和華如此說：『我的民哪，我必開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，領你們進入以色列地。
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] open your tombs, and will bring you up out of your tombs, and will bring you into the land of Israel.
13 我的民哪，我開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，你們就知道我是耶和華。
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, that I may bring up my people from [their] graves.
14 我必將我的靈放在你們裏面，你們就要活了。我將你們安置在本地，你們就知道我－耶和華如此說，也如此成就了。這是耶和華說的。』」
And I will put my Spirit within you, and ye shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord; I have spoken, and will do [it], saith the Lord.
15 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 「人子啊，你要取一根木杖，在其上寫『為猶大和他的同伴以色列人』；又取一根木杖，在其上寫『為約瑟，就是為以法蓮，又為他的同伴以色列全家』。
Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
17 你要使這兩根木杖接連為一，在你手中成為一根。
And thou shalt joint them together for thyself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be in thine hand.
18 你本國的子民問你說：『這是甚麼意思？你不指示我們嗎？』
And it shall come to pass, when the children of thy people shall say to thee, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these things?
19 你就對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我要將約瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖，就是那在以法蓮手中的，與猶大的杖一同接連為一，在我手中成為一根。』
Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the Lord; behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Juda, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda.
20 你所寫的那兩根杖要在他們眼前拿在手中，
And the rods on which thou didst write shall be in thine hand in their presence.
21 要對他們說，主耶和華如此說：我要將以色列人從他們所到的各國收取，又從四圍聚集他們，引導他們歸回本地。
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I [will] take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations, among whom they have gone, and I will gather them from all that are round about them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel.
22 我要使他們在那地，在以色列山上成為一國，有一王作他們眾民的王。他們不再為二國，決不再分為二國；
And I will make them a nation in my land, even on the mountains of Israel; and they shall have one prince: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided any more at all into two kingdoms:
23 也不再因偶像和可憎的物，並一切的罪過玷污自己。我卻要救他們出離一切的住處，就是他們犯罪的地方；我要潔淨他們，如此，他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的上帝。
that they may no more defile themselves with their idols; and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be to me a people, and I the Lord will be to them a God.
24 「我的僕人大衛必作他們的王；眾民必歸一個牧人。他們必順從我的典章，謹守遵行我的律例。
And my servant David [shall be] a prince in the midst of them: there shall be one shepherd of [them] all; for they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my judgments, and do them.
25 他們必住在我賜給我僕人雅各的地上，就是你們列祖所住之地。他們和他們的子孫，並子孫的子孫，都永遠住在那裏。我的僕人大衛必作他們的王，直到永遠。
And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell upon it: and David my servant [shall be their] prince forever.
26 並且我要與他們立平安的約，作為永約。我也要將他們安置在本地，使他們的人數增多，又在他們中間設立我的聖所，直到永遠。
And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
27 我的居所必在他們中間；我要作他們的上帝，他們要作我的子民。
And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be my people.
28 我的聖所在以色列人中間直到永遠，外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成為聖的耶和華。」
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord that sanctifies them, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for ever.
