< Ezekiel 39 >

1 [Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
「人子啊,你要向歌革發預言攻擊他,說主耶和華如此說:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。
2 I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
我必調轉你,領你前往,使你從北方的極處上來,帶你到以色列的山上。
3 When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
我必從你左手打落你的弓,從你右手打掉你的箭。
4 You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
你和你的軍隊,並同着你的列國人,都必倒在以色列的山上。我必將你給各類的鷙鳥和田野的走獸作食物。
5 You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
你必倒在田野,因為我曾說過。這是主耶和華說的。
6 I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我要降火在瑪各和海島安然居住的人身上,他們就知道我是耶和華。
7 I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
「我要在我民以色列中顯出我的聖名,也不容我的聖名再被褻瀆,列國人就知道我是耶和華-以色列中的聖者。
8 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
主耶和華說:這日事情臨近,也必成就,乃是我所說的日子。
9 At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
「住以色列城邑的人必出去撿器械,就是大小盾牌、弓箭、梃杖、槍矛,都當柴燒火,直燒七年,
10 They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
甚至他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從樹林伐木;因為他們要用器械燒火,並且搶奪那搶奪他們的人,擄掠那擄掠他們的人。這是主耶和華說的。」
11 At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
「當那日,我必將以色列地的谷,就是海東人所經過的谷,賜給歌革為墳地,使經過的人到此停步。在那裏人必葬埋歌革和他的群眾,就稱那地為哈們‧歌革谷。
12 For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
以色列家的人必用七個月葬埋他們,為要潔淨全地。
13 All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
全地的居民都必葬埋他們。當我得榮耀的日子,這事必叫他們得名聲。這是主耶和華說的。
14 After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
他們必分派人時常巡查遍地,與過路的人一同葬埋那剩在地面上的屍首,好潔淨全地。過了七個月,他們還要巡查。
15 When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
巡查遍地的人要經過全地,見有人的骸骨,就在旁邊立一標記,等葬埋的人來將骸骨葬在哈們‧歌革谷。
16 There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
他們必這樣潔淨那地,並有一城名叫哈摩那。
17 [Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
「人子啊,主耶和華如此說:你要對各類的飛鳥和田野的走獸說:你們聚集來吧,要從四方聚到我為你們獻祭之地,就是在以色列山上獻大祭之地,好叫你們吃肉、喝血。
18 You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
你們必吃勇士的肉,喝地上首領的血,就如吃公綿羊、羊羔、公山羊、公牛,都是巴珊的肥畜。
19 At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
你們吃我為你們所獻的祭,必吃飽了脂油,喝醉了血。
20 [It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
你們必在我席上飽吃馬匹和坐車的人,並勇士和一切的戰士。這是主耶和華說的。」
21 I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
「我必顯我的榮耀在列國中;萬民就必看見我所行的審判與我在他們身上所加的手。
22 After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
這樣,從那日以後,以色列家必知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝。
23 And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
列國人也必知道以色列家被擄掠是因他們的罪孽。他們得罪我,我就掩面不顧,將他們交在敵人手中,他們便都倒在刀下。
24 I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
我是照他們的污穢和罪過待他們,並且我掩面不顧他們。」
25 Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
主耶和華如此說:「我要使雅各被擄的人歸回,要憐憫以色列全家,又為我的聖名發熱心。
26 When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
他們在本地安然居住,無人驚嚇,是我將他們從萬民中領回,從仇敵之地召來。我在許多國的民眼前,在他們身上顯為聖的時候,他們要擔當自己的羞辱和干犯我的一切罪。
27 When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
28 And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
因我使他們被擄到外邦人中,後又聚集他們歸回本地,他們就知道我是耶和華-他們的上帝;我必不再留他們一人在外邦。
29 I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
我也不再掩面不顧他們,因我已將我的靈澆灌以色列家。這是主耶和華說的。」
