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。
The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and Jehovah carried me out in the Spirit, and set me down in the midst of a valley; and it was full of 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 caused me to pass by them round about; and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were 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 unto me, Son of man, Shall these bones live? And I said, Lord Jehovah, thou knowest.
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 unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.
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 Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.
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 put sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
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。
And I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a rustling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
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 came up upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no 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 unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may 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。
And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
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 he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off!
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 unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and 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] Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and have caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
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 in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken, and have done [it], saith Jehovah.
15 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of Jehovah came unto 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』。
And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel, his companions. And take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.
17 你要使這兩根木杖接連為一，在你手中成為一根。
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy 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 when the children of my people speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not declare unto us what thou meanest by these?
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。』
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with this, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 你所寫的那兩根杖要在他們眼前拿在手中，
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
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 say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them from every side, and bring them into their own land:
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 one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
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。
And they shall not defile themselves any more with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; and I will save them out of all their dwelling-places wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their 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 David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: and they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my statutes, 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 the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
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 a covenant of peace with them: it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set 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 over them; and I will be their 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 Jehovah do hallow Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
