Ezekiel 36
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to mountains of Israel, and you have said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of YHWH!
「人子，你向以色列群山講預言說：以色列群山，聽上主的話罷!
2 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also become our possession,
吾主上主這樣說：因為敵人曾論你們說：『哈! 永遠荒涼了，那地已成了我們的產業。』
3 therefore, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from all around, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And you are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report to the people.
為此你要預言說：吾主上主這樣說：因人使你們荒涼了，從各方面侵蝕你們，使你們成為殘餘民族的產業，並使你們成為人們的口頭禪和話柄：
4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to ruins that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the surrounding nations,
為此，以色列群山! 你們聽吾主上主的話罷! 吾主上主這樣對高山、丘陵、溪澗、山谷、荒涼的廢墟，以及那些曾為四周殘餘民族的掠物和笑柄而被遺棄的城邑說：
5 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom—all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart—with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
吾主上主這樣說：我必在我妒火中發言攻斥各殘餘的民族和整個厄東，她們心裏懷著幸災樂禍，和輕視的心情，將我的地方據為自己的產業，劫掠它當作戰利品。
6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And you have said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, Because you have borne the shame of nations.
為此，你向以色列地域講預言，對高山、丘陵、溪澗和山谷說：吾主上主這樣說：因為你們遭受了異民的凌辱，看，我必在妒火和憤怒中發言。
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?
為此，吾主上主這樣說：我舉手起誓：你們四周的異民必要遭受他們當受的凌辱。
8 And you, O mountains of Israel, You give out your branch, And you bear your fruits for My people Israel, For they have drawn near to come.
以色列群山，你們要給我的百姓以色列生出枝葉，結出果實，因為他們快來到了。
9 For behold, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.
看，我偕同你們，眷顧你們，使你們得以耕種，得以播種，
10 And I have multiplied men on you, All the house of Israel—all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the ruins are built.
在你們那裏增加全以色列家族的人數，使城邑再有居民，廢墟得以重建。
11 And I have multiplied man and beast on you, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
我要在你們那裏，使人和牲畜的數目增多，他們要增加繁殖；我要使你們再有居民，如同昔日一樣，優待你們勝過先前，如此，你們便承認我是上主。
12 And I have caused man to walk over you—My people Israel, And they possess you, and you have been their inheritance, And you no longer add to bereave them.
我要引領人，即我的百姓以色列到你們上面，他們要佔領你，你要成為他們的產業，再不使他們喪失子女。
13 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because they are saying to you, You [are] a devourer of men, And you have been a bereaver of your nations,
吾主上主這樣說：因為人向你說：你吞噬了人，並使你的百姓喪失子女；
14 Therefore, you no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
從此你不再吞噬人，也不再使你的百姓喪失子女──吾主上主的斷語──
15 And I do not proclaim the shame of the nations to you anymore, And you no longer bear the reproach of peoples, And your nations do not stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
我不再讓在你那裏聽到異民的凌辱，你也不再受異民咒罵，也不再使你的百姓喪失子女──吾主上主的斷語。」
16 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
17 “Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, Their way has been as the uncleanness of a separated one before Me.
人子，以色列家族住在自己的地域時，以自己的品行和作為玷污了此地，他們的品行在我面前好似經期的污穢。
18 And I pour out My fury on them For the blood that they shed on the land, And they have defiled it with their idols.
因他們在此地所流的血，又因他們的偶像玷污了此地，我遂在他們身上發洩我的憤怒，
19 And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.
將他們分散在異民中，散佈在各國，照他們的品行和作為懲罰了他們。
20 And one goes to the nations to where they have gone, And they defile My holy Name by saying to them, These [are] the people of YHWH, And they have gone forth from His land.
他們到了應去的異民那裏，還褻瀆了我的聖名，因為人們論及他們說：『這些人原是雅威的百姓，但他們卻應當離開他的地域! 』
21 And I have pity on My holy Name, That the house of Israel has defiled Among the nations to where they have gone in.
我遂憐惜我的聖名，即以色列家族在他們所到的異民中所褻瀆的聖名。
22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: I am not working for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy Name That you have defiled Among the nations to where you have gone in.
為此，你要告訴以色列家族，吾主上主這樣說：以色列家族，我作這事並不是為了你們，而是為了我的聖名，即你們在所到的異民中所褻瀆的聖名。
23 And I have sanctified My great Name, That is profaned among the nations, That you have defiled in your midst, And the nations have known that I [am] YHWH, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.
我要使我的大名顯聖，即在異民中被褻瀆，即你們在他們中所褻瀆的聖名；當我在你們身上，在他們眼前顯為聖的時候，異民就要承認我是上主──吾主上主的斷語。
24 And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you into your land,
我要把你們從異民中領出，從各地聚集你們，領你們回到你們的地域。
25 And I have sprinkled clean water over you, And you have been clean; I cleanse you from all your uncleannesses, And from all your idols.
那時，我要在你們身上灑清水，潔淨你們，淨化你們，脫離各種不潔和各種偶像。
26 And I have given a new heart to you, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to you.
我還要賜給你們一顆新心，在你們五內放上一種新的精神，從你們的肉身內取去鐵石的心，給你們換上一顆血肉的心。
27 And I give My Spirit in your midst, And I have done this, so that you walk in My statutes, And you keep My judgments, and have done them.
我要將我的神賜與你們五內，使你們遵行我的規律，恪守我的誡命，且一一實行。
28 And you have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
如此，你們要居住在我賜給你們祖先的地方；你們要作我的百姓，我作你們的天主。
29 And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called to the grain, and multiplied it, And I have put no famine on you.
我要救你們脫離各種不潔，命五穀豐登，不再讓你們遭受饑荒。
30 And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that you do not receive a reproach of famine among nations anymore.
我要使樹上的果實，天間的出產豐收，免得你們因饑荒受異民凌辱。
31 And you have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.
那時你們記起了你們的惡行和那些不好的行為，連你們自己對你們的罪過和醜惡之事，也感覺討厭。
32 I am not working for your sake, A declaration of Lord YHWH, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of your ways, O house of Israel.
你們應清楚知道：我作這事並不是為了你們──吾主上主的斷語──以色列家族! 對你們的品行害羞慚愧罷們!
33 Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the ruins have been built,
吾主上主這樣說：在我潔化你們脫離各種罪過的那天，使城邑有人居住，廢墟得以重建，
34 And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,
在過客眼中曾為荒蕪的地方，再得以耕種之時，
35 And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Has been as the Garden of Eden, And the cities—the dried up, And the desolated, and the broken down, [And the] fortified have remained.
人們要說：那曾荒廢的地方，如今成了「伊甸」樂園；荒蕪廢棄和破壞的城邑，如今成了設防安居之地。
36 And the nations who are left around you have known That I, YHWH, have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].
如此，你們四周的殘餘民族便承認，是我上主重建了破壞的城，種植了荒廢的地。我上主言出必行。
37 Thus said Lord YHWH: Yet this I am inquired of by the house of Israel to do for them: I multiply them as a flock of men,
吾主上主這樣說：我還要讓以色列家族求我實行這事：叫他們的人數繁殖，多如羊群；
38 As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed times, So the dried up cities are full of flocks of man, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
就如被奉獻的羊群，就如在慶節日耶路撒冷的羊群有多少，荒蕪的城邑也要充滿那麼多的人群：如此，他們便承認我是上主。」
