Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.
耶和华的灵降在我身上。耶和华借他的灵带我出去，将我放在平原中；这平原遍满骸骨。
2 He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.
他使我从骸骨的四围经过，谁知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且极其枯干。
3 Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
他对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？”我说：“主耶和华啊，你是知道的。”
4 And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
他又对我说：“你向这些骸骨发预言说：枯干的骸骨啊，要听耶和华的话。
5 This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说：‘我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
我必给你们加上筋，使你们长肉，又将皮遮蔽你们，使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了；你们便知道我是耶和华。’”
7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
于是，我遵命说预言。正说预言的时候，不料，有响声，有地震；骨与骨互相联络。
8 As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
我观看，见骸骨上有筋，也长了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是还没有气息。
9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
主对我说：“人子啊，你要发预言，向风发预言，说主耶和华如此说：气息啊，要从四方而来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们活了。”
10 So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队。
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
主对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨就是以色列全家。他们说：‘我们的骨头枯干了，我们的指望失去了，我们灭绝净尽了。’
12 Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
所以你要发预言对他们说，主耶和华如此说：‘我的民哪，我必开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，领你们进入以色列地。
13 Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
我的民哪，我开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，你们就知道我是耶和华。
14 I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
我必将我的灵放在你们里面，你们就要活了。我将你们安置在本地，你们就知道我—耶和华如此说，也如此成就了。这是耶和华说的。’”
15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
16 “And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
“人子啊，你要取一根木杖，在其上写‘为犹大和他的同伴以色列人’；又取一根木杖，在其上写‘为约瑟，就是为以法莲，又为他的同伴以色列全家’。
17 Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
你要使这两根木杖接连为一，在你手中成为一根。
18 When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’
你本国的子民问你说：‘这是什么意思？你不指示我们吗？’
19 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
你就对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：我要将约瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖，就是那在以法莲手中的，与犹大的杖一同接连为一，在我手中成为一根。’
20 When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
你所写的那两根杖要在他们眼前拿在手中，
21 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
要对他们说，主耶和华如此说：我要将以色列人从他们所到的各国收取，又从四围聚集他们，引导他们归回本地。
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
我要使他们在那地，在以色列山上成为一国，有一王作他们众民的王。他们不再为二国，决不再分为二国；
23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
也不再因偶像和可憎的物，并一切的罪过玷污自己。我却要救他们出离一切的住处，就是他们犯罪的地方；我要洁净他们，如此，他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神。
24 My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
“我的仆人大卫必作他们的王；众民必归一个牧人。他们必顺从我的典章，谨守遵行我的律例。
25 They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
他们必住在我赐给我仆人雅各的地上，就是你们列祖所住之地。他们和他们的子孙，并子孙的子孙，都永远住在那里。我的仆人大卫必作他们的王，直到永远。
26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
并且我要与他们立平安的约，作为永约。我也要将他们安置在本地，使他们的人数增多，又在他们中间设立我的圣所，直到永远。
27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
我的居所必在他们中间；我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”
我的圣所在以色列人中间直到永远，外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成为圣的耶和华。”
