< 以西結書 39 >
1 「人子啊,你要向歌革發預言攻擊他,說主耶和華如此說:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。
And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
2 我必調轉你,領你前往,使你從北方的極處上來,帶你到以色列的山上。
And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:
And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.
4 你和你的軍隊,並同着你的列國人,都必倒在以色列的山上。我必將你給各類的鷙鳥和田野的走獸作食物。
On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.
5 你必倒在田野,因為我曾說過。這是主耶和華說的。
You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.
6 我要降火在瑪各和海島安然居住的人身上,他們就知道我是耶和華。
And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
7 「我要在我民以色列中顯出我的聖名,也不容我的聖名再被褻瀆,列國人就知道我是耶和華-以色列中的聖者。
And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
8 主耶和華說:這日事情臨近,也必成就,乃是我所說的日子。
See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.
9 「住以色列城邑的人必出去撿器械,就是大小盾牌、弓箭、梃杖、槍矛,都當柴燒火,直燒七年,
And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:
10 甚至他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從樹林伐木;因為他們要用器械燒火,並且搶奪那搶奪他們的人,擄掠那擄掠他們的人。這是主耶和華說的。」
And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.
11 「當那日,我必將以色列地的谷,就是海東人所經過的谷,賜給歌革為墳地,使經過的人到此停步。在那裏人必葬埋歌革和他的群眾,就稱那地為哈們‧歌革谷。
And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.
12 以色列家的人必用七個月葬埋他們,為要潔淨全地。
And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.
13 全地的居民都必葬埋他們。當我得榮耀的日子,這事必叫他們得名聲。這是主耶和華說的。
And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.
14 他們必分派人時常巡查遍地,與過路的人一同葬埋那剩在地面上的屍首,好潔淨全地。過了七個月,他們還要巡查。
And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.
15 巡查遍地的人要經過全地,見有人的骸骨,就在旁邊立一標記,等葬埋的人來將骸骨葬在哈們‧歌革谷。
And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.
And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.
17 「人子啊,主耶和華如此說:你要對各類的飛鳥和田野的走獸說:你們聚集來吧,要從四方聚到我為你們獻祭之地,就是在以色列山上獻大祭之地,好叫你們吃肉、喝血。
And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.
18 你們必吃勇士的肉,喝地上首領的血,就如吃公綿羊、羊羔、公山羊、公牛,都是巴珊的肥畜。
The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.
19 你們吃我為你們所獻的祭,必吃飽了脂油,喝醉了血。
You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.
20 你們必在我席上飽吃馬匹和坐車的人,並勇士和一切的戰士。這是主耶和華說的。」
At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.
21 「我必顯我的榮耀在列國中;萬民就必看見我所行的審判與我在他們身上所加的手。
And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.
22 這樣,從那日以後,以色列家必知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝。
So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.
23 列國人也必知道以色列家被擄掠是因他們的罪孽。他們得罪我,我就掩面不顧,將他們交在敵人手中,他們便都倒在刀下。
And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.
24 我是照他們的污穢和罪過待他們,並且我掩面不顧他們。」
In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.
25 主耶和華如此說:「我要使雅各被擄的人歸回,要憐憫以色列全家,又為我的聖名發熱心。
For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.
26 他們在本地安然居住,無人驚嚇,是我將他們從萬民中領回,從仇敵之地召來。我在許多國的民眼前,在他們身上顯為聖的時候,他們要擔當自己的羞辱和干犯我的一切罪。
And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;
When I have taken them back from among the peoples and got them together out of the lands of their haters, and have made myself holy in them before the eyes of a great number of nations.
28 因我使他們被擄到外邦人中,後又聚集他們歸回本地,他們就知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝;我必不再留他們一人在外邦。
And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.
29 我也不再掩面不顧他們,因我已將我的靈澆灌以色列家。這是主耶和華說的。」
And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.
