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 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! The high places of old have also 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 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.
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 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,
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, 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?
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 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.
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, thus said Lord YHWH: I have lifted up My hand, Do the nations who [are] surrounding you not bear their own shame?
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 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] for you, and have turned to you, And you have been tilled and sown.
看哪，我是幫助你的，也必向你轉意，使你得以耕種。
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.
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 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 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 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,
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 no longer devour man, And you do not cause your nations to stumble anymore, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
所以主耶和華說：你必不再吞吃人，也不再使國民喪子。
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 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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, 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.
「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 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 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,
我必從各國收取你們，從列邦聚集你們，引導你們歸回本地。
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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,
「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 And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of everyone passing by,
過路的人雖看為荒廢之地，現今這荒廢之地仍得耕種。
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.
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 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].
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 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,
「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 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!”
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。」
