Ezekiel 36
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
「人子啊，你要對以色列山發預言說：以色列山哪，要聽耶和華的話。
2 This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’
主耶和華如此說：因仇敵說：『阿哈！這永久的山岡都歸我們為業了！』
3 therefore prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in slander by the lips of their talkers,
所以要發預言說，主耶和華如此說：因為敵人使你荒涼，四圍吞吃，好叫你歸與其餘的外邦人為業，並且多嘴多舌的人提起你來，百姓也說你有臭名。
4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become a spoil and a mockery to the rest of the nations around you.
故此，以色列山要聽主耶和華的話。大山小岡、水溝山谷、荒廢之地、被棄之城，為四圍其餘的外邦人所佔據、所譏刺的，
5 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became plunder.
主耶和華對你們如此說：我真發憤恨如火，責備那其餘的外邦人和以東的眾人。他們快樂滿懷，心存恨惡，將我的地歸自己為業，又看為被棄的掠物。
6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have endured the reproach of the nations.
所以，你要指着以色列地說預言，對大山小岡、水溝山谷說，主耶和華如此說：我發憤恨和忿怒說，因你們曾受外邦人的羞辱，
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have sworn with an uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will endure reproach of their own.
所以我起誓說：你們四圍的外邦人總要擔當自己的羞辱。這是主耶和華說的。
8 But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.
「以色列山哪，你必發枝條，為我的民以色列結果子，因為他們快要來到。
9 For behold, I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.
看哪，我是幫助你的，也必向你轉意，使你得以耕種。
10 I will multiply the people upon you—the house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
我必使以色列全家的人數在你上面增多，城邑有人居住，荒場再被建造。
11 I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
我必使人和牲畜在你上面加增；他們必生養眾多。我要使你照舊有人居住，並要賜福與你比先前更多，你就知道我是耶和華。
12 Yes, I will cause My people Israel to walk upon you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of their children.
我必使人，就是我的民以色列，行在你上面。他們必得你為業；你也不再使他們喪子。
13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
主耶和華如此說：因為人對你說：『你是吞吃人的，又使國民喪子』，
14 therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
所以主耶和華說：你必不再吞吃人，也不再使國民喪子。
15 I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
我使你不再聽見各國的羞辱，不再受萬民的辱罵，也不再使國民絆跌。這是主耶和華說的。」
16 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.
「人子啊，以色列家住在本地的時候，在行動作為上玷污那地。他們的行為在我面前，好像正在經期的婦人那樣污穢。
18 So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
所以我因他們在那地上流人的血，又因他們以偶像玷污那地，就把我的忿怒傾在他們身上。
19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered throughout the lands. I judged them according to their ways and deeds.
我將他們分散在列國，四散在列邦，按他們的行動作為懲罰他們。
20 And wherever they went among the nations, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’
他們到了所去的列國，就使我的聖名被褻瀆；因為人談論他們說，這是耶和華的民，是從耶和華的地出來的。
21 But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they had gone.
我卻顧惜我的聖名，就是以色列家在所到的列國中所褻瀆的。
22 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went.
「所以，你要對以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，我行這事不是為你們，乃是為我的聖名，就是在你們到的列國中所褻瀆的。
23 I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.
我要使我的大名顯為聖；這名在列國中已被褻瀆，就是你們在他們中間所褻瀆的。我在他們眼前，在你們身上顯為聖的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。這是主耶和華說的。
24 For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.
我必從各國收取你們，從列邦聚集你們，引導你們歸回本地。
25 I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.
我必用清水灑在你們身上，你們就潔淨了。我要潔淨你們，使你們脫離一切的污穢，棄掉一切的偶像。
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
我也要賜給你們一個新心，將新靈放在你們裏面，又從你們的肉體中除掉石心，賜給你們肉心。
27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.
我必將我的靈放在你們裏面，使你們順從我的律例，謹守遵行我的典章。
28 Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God.
你們必住在我所賜給你們列祖之地。你們要作我的子民，我要作你們的上帝。
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you.
我必救你們脫離一切的污穢，也必命五穀豐登，不使你們遭遇饑荒。
30 I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine.
我必使樹木多結果子，田地多出土產，好叫你們不再因饑荒受外邦人的譏誚。
31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.
那時，你們必追想你們的惡行和你們不善的作為，就因你們的罪孽和可憎的事厭惡自己。
32 It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!
主耶和華說：你們要知道，我這樣行不是為你們。以色列家啊，當為自己的行為抱愧蒙羞。
33 This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be resettled and the ruins to be rebuilt.
「主耶和華如此說：我潔淨你們，使你們脫離一切罪孽的日子，必使城邑有人居住，荒場再被建造。
34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through.
過路的人雖看為荒廢之地，現今這荒廢之地仍得耕種。
35 Then they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The cities that were once ruined, desolate, and destroyed are now fortified and inhabited.’
他們必說：『這先前為荒廢之地，現在成如伊甸園；這荒廢淒涼、毀壞的城邑現在堅固有人居住。』
36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was destroyed, and I have replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.
那時，在你們四圍其餘的外邦人必知道我－耶和華修造那毀壞之處，培植那荒廢之地。我－耶和華說過，也必成就。
37 This is what the Lord GOD says: Once again I will hear the plea of the house of Israel and do for them this: I will multiply their people like a flock.
「主耶和華如此說：我要加增以色列家的人數，多如羊群。他們必為這事向我求問，我要給他們成就。
38 Like the numerous flocks for sacrifices at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
耶路撒冷在守節作祭物所獻的羊群怎樣多，照樣，荒涼的城邑必被人群充滿。他們就知道我是耶和華。」
