< Ezekiel 39 >

1 Therefore, thou sonne of man, prophecie against Gog, and say, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, ye chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal.
「人子,你講預言攻斥哥格說:吾主上主這樣說:默舍客和突巴耳的最高領袖哥格,看,我要攻擊你,
2 And I will destroy thee and leaue but the sixt part of thee, and will cause thee to come vp from the North partes and will bring thee vpon the mountaines of Israel:
我要引誘你,挾持你,使你從極北之地上來,領你到以色列的山上,
3 And I will smite thy bowe out of thy left hand, and I will cause thine arrowes to fall out of thy right hand.
在那裏我要打掉你左手上的弓,打落你右手上的箭。
4 Thou shalt fal vpon the mountaines of Israel, and all thy bands and the people, that is with thee: for I will giue thee vnto the birdes and to euery feathered foule and beast of the fielde to be deuoured.
你和你所有的軍隊,以及同你聯合的眾民,都要喪亡在以色列的山上;我要使你成為各種猛禽和野獸的食物。
5 Thou shalt fall vpon the open fielde: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God.
你要喪亡在原野之上,這原是我親口說的──吾主上主的斷語──
6 And I will sende a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell safely in the yles, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
我要使火降到瑪哥格和那些安居在群島的人們身上:如此,他們必承認我是上主。
7 So will I make mine holy Name knowen in the middes of my people Israel, and I will not suffer them to pollute mine holy Name any more, and the heathen shall knowe that I am the Lord, the holy one of Israel.
我也要在我的百姓以色列中間,顯揚我的聖名,再不讓我的名受到褻瀆:如此,異民便承認我是上主,是以色列的聖者。
8 Beholde, it is come, and it is done, sayeth the Lord God: and this is the day whereof I haue spoken.
看,我所說的那一天,已經來近,必要實現──吾主上主的斷語。
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall goe forth, and shall burne and set fire vpon the weapons, and on the shieldes, and bucklers, vpon the bowes, and vpon the arrowes, and vpon the staues in their handes, and vpon the speares, and they shall burne them with fire seuen yeeres.
那時住在以色列各城的人必要出來,點火焚燒武器:有大小盾牌、弓、箭、槍和茅;他們將用來燒火,七年之久。
10 So that they shall bring no wood out of the fielde, neither cut downe any out of the forestes: for they shall burne the weapons with fire, and they shall robbe those that robbed them, and spoyle those that spoyled them, sayeth the Lord God.
他們不必到田間拾柴,也不必到林中伐木,因為也武器可作柴燒;他們還要搶奪那些搶奪過他們的人,劫掠那些劫掠過他們的人──吾主上主的斷語──
11 And at the same time will I giue vnto Gog a place there for burial in Israel, euen the valley whereby men go towarde the East part of the sea: and it shall cause them that passe by, to stoppe their noses, and there shall they bury Gog with all his multitude: and they shall call it the valley of Hamon-Gog.
在那一天,我要在以色列把一出名的地方,即死海以東阿巴陵山谷,給哥格作墳地;這山谷使過路的人止步,哥格和他的一切軍隊要埋在那裏,因此人叫那地方為『哥格群眾谷。』
12 And seuen moneths long shall the house of Israel be burying of the, that they may clense the land.
以色列家族埋葬他們,為清除此地,要費時七個月。
13 Yea, all the people of the lande shall burie them, and they shall haue a name when I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
那地方的全體百姓都要埋葬他們。在我顯示光榮的日子,為他們也要光榮──吾主上主的斷語──
14 And they shall chuse out men to goe continually through the lande with them that trauaile, to bury those that remaine vpon ye ground, and clense it: they shall search to the ende of seuen moneths.
他們還要派定一些人不斷巡邏那地,尋找在那地方遺留下的屍體,為清除那地;七個月之後它們仍繼續尋找。
15 And the trauailers that passe through the land, if any see a mans bone, then shall he set vp a signe by it, till the buriers haue buried it, in the valley of Hamon-Gog.
過路的人經過那地的時候,若發見一個人的骨骸,就在他旁邊放一個記號,等待埋葬的人將他埋葬在『哥格群眾谷。』
16 And also the name of the citie shalbe Hamonah: thus shall they clense the land.
那裏有一座城,要叫哈摩納。他們就這樣清除了那地。
17 And thou sonne of man, thus sayeth the Lord God, Speake vnto euery feathered foule, and to all the beastes of the fielde, Assemble your selues, and come gather your selues on euery side to my sacrifice: for I do sacrifice a great sacrifice for you vpon the mountaines of Israel, that ye may eate flesh, and drinke blood.
吾主上主這樣說:人子,你要向各種飛鳥,各樣野獸說:你們應集合前來,從四方來參加我給你們在以色列山上所準備的隆重祭餐,你們要吃肉飲血。
18 Ye shall eate the flesh of the valiant, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of the weathers, of the lambes, and of the goates, and of bullockes, euen of all fat beastes of Bashan.
你們要吃將士的肉,飲各地王侯的血;還有山羊、綿羊、公山羊、牛犢,都是巴商的肥畜。
19 And ye shall eate fat till you be full, and drinke blood, till ye be drunken of my sacrifice, which I haue sacrificed for you.
你們要在我給你們準備的祭餐中,吃肉吃到飽,飲血飲到醉。
20 Thus you shalbe filled at my table with horses and chariots, with valiant men, and with al men of warre, sayth the Lord God.
你們在我的宴席上要飽食馬肉,戰馬、將士和所有軍人的肉──吾主上主的斷語。
21 And I wil set my glory among the heathe, and all the heathen shall see my iudgement, that I haue executed, and mine hand, which I haue layed vpon them.
我要在異民中顯示我的光榮,萬民要看見我所施行的懲罰,看見是我舉手打擊了他們。
22 So the house of Israel shall knowe, that I am the Lord their God from that day and so forth.
從那天起,以色列家族必要承認我,上主是他們的天主。
23 And the heathen shall knowe, that ye house of Israel went into captiuitie for their iniquitie, because they trespassed against me: therefore hid I my face from them, and gaue them into ye hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
異民也要知道以色列家族充軍,是為了他們的罪惡,因為他們違背了我,我遂掩面不顧他們,把他們交在敵人手中,全都喪身刀下。
24 According to their vncleannes, and according to their transgressions haue I done vnto the, and hid my face from them.
我按他們的罪過和惡行對待了他們,掩面不看他們。
25 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Nowe will I bring againe the captiuitie of Iaakob, and haue compassion vpon the whole house of Israel, and wil be ielous for mine holy Name,
為此吾主上主這樣說:現今我要轉變雅各伯的命運,憐恤以色列家族。為我的聖名而大發妒火。
26 After that they haue borne their shame, and all their transgression, whereby they haue transgressed against me, whe they dwelt safely in their land, and without feare of any.
當他們安居在自己的地域中,沒有人來驚擾時,他們將忘記自己的恥辱和違背我所犯的一切抗命之罪。
27 When I haue brought them againe from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies landes, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations,
當我從各民族中把他們領回,從他們敵人的地方聚集他們,在眾異民眼前,在他們身上顯聖時,
28 Then shall they know, that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captiuitie among the heathen: but I haue gathered them vnto their owne land, and haue left none of them any more there,
他們必承認我上主是他們的天主,因為我將他們放逐於異民之中以後,又把他們聚集到自己的地方,一個也沒有留在異民中。
29 Neither wil I hide my face any more from them: for I haue powred out my Spirit vpon the house of Israel, sayth the Lord God.
我不再掩面不看他們,因為我將我的神已傾注於以色列家族──吾主上主的斷語。」
