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。
There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is 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 causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, 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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, 'O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.'
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 saith unto me, 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a 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 said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
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 have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known 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 have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto 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 beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none 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 saith unto me: 'Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do 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 have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.
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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.
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 thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto 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 have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you 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 have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.'
15 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And there is a word of Jehovah 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 to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on 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 bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have 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 sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?
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。』
Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been 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 on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine 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 speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their 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 have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.
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。
Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for 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 [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done 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 have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.
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 have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.
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 hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a 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 known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!'
