Ezekiel 36
1 “Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of Yahweh.
“人子啊，你要对以色列山发预言说：以色列山哪，要听耶和华的话。
2 The Lord Yahweh says this: The enemy has said about you, “Aha!” and “The ancient high places have become our possession.”'
主耶和华如此说：因仇敌说：‘阿哈！这永久的山冈都归我们为业了！’
3 Therefore prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your desolation and because of the attacks that came on you from all sides, you have become a possession of the other nations; you have been the subject of slanderous lips and tongues, and of people's stories.
所以要发预言说，主耶和华如此说：因为敌人使你荒凉，四围吞吃，好叫你归与其余的外邦人为业，并且多嘴多舌的人提起你来，百姓也说你有臭名。
4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and the high hills, to the streambeds and valleys, to the uninhabited desolations and the forsaken cities that have become plunder and a subject of mocking for the other nations that surround them—
故此，以色列山要听主耶和华的话。大山小冈、水沟山谷、荒废之地、被弃之城，为四围其余的外邦人所占据、所讥刺的，
5 therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I have certainly spoken in the fire of my fury against the other nations, against Edom and all who took my land for themselves as a possession, against all those who had both joy in their heart and disdain in their spirit, as they seized my land that they might claim its pasturelands for themselves.'
主耶和华对你们如此说：我真发愤恨如火，责备那其余的外邦人和以东的众人。他们快乐满怀，心存恨恶，将我的地归自己为业，又看为被弃的掠物。
6 Therefore, prophesy to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the high hills, to the streambeds and to the valleys, 'the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! In my fury and in my anger I am declaring this because you have borne the insults of nations.
所以，你要指着以色列地说预言，对大山小冈、水沟山谷说，主耶和华如此说：我发愤恨和忿怒说，因你们曾受外邦人的羞辱，
7 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I myself will lift up my hand to swear that the nations that surround you will certainly carry their own shame.
所以我起誓说：你们四围的外邦人总要担当自己的羞辱。这是主耶和华说的。
8 But you, mountains of Israel, you will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, since they will soon come back to you.
“以色列山哪，你必发枝条，为我的民以色列结果子，因为他们快要来到。
9 For behold, I am for you, and I treat you with favor; you will be plowed and sown with seed.
看哪，我是帮助你的，也必向你转意，使你得以耕种。
10 So I will multiply upon you the number of your people, even the whole house of Israel. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
我必使以色列全家的人数在你上面增多，城邑有人居住，荒场再被建造。
11 I will multiply man and beast on you mountains so that they will multiply and be fruitful. Then I will cause you to be inhabited as you previously were, and I will make you prosper more than you did in the past, for you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使人和牲畜在你上面加增；他们必生养众多。我要使你照旧有人居住，并要赐福与你比先前更多，你就知道我是耶和华。
12 I will bring men, my people Israel, to walk on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer cause their children to die.
我必使人，就是我的民以色列，行在你上面。他们必得你为业；你也不再使他们丧子。
13 The Lord Yahweh says this: Because they are saying to you, “You devour men, bereaving your nation of children,”
主耶和华如此说：因为人对你说：‘你是吞吃人的，又使国民丧子’，
14 therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
所以主耶和华说：你必不再吞吃人，也不再使国民丧子。
15 Nor will I allow you to hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer have to bear the shame of the peoples or cause your nation to fall—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
我使你不再听见各国的羞辱，不再受万民的辱骂，也不再使国民绊跌。这是主耶和华说的。”
16 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel inhabited their land, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds. Their ways were like the unclean menstruation of a woman before me.
“人子啊，以色列家住在本地的时候，在行动作为上玷污那地。他们的行为在我面前，好像正在经期的妇人那样污秽。
18 So I poured out my fury against them for the blood that they poured out on the land and for their pollution of it by their idols.
所以我因他们在那地上流人的血，又因他们以偶像玷污那地，就把我的忿怒倾在他们身上。
19 I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
我将他们分散在列国，四散在列邦，按他们的行动作为惩罚他们。
20 Then they went to the nations, and wherever they went, they profaned my holy name when people said of them, 'Are these really the people of Yahweh? For they have been thrown out of his land.'
他们到了所去的列国，就使我的圣名被亵渎；因为人谈论他们说，这是耶和华的民，是从耶和华的地出来的。
21 But I had compassion for my holy name that the house of Israel had defiled among the nations, when they went there.
我却顾惜我的圣名，就是以色列家在所到的列国中所亵渎的。
22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I am not doing this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations everywhere you have gone.
“所以，你要对以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，我行这事不是为你们，乃是为我的圣名，就是在你们到的列国中所亵渎的。
23 For I will make my great name holy, which you have profaned among the nations—in the midst of the nations, you profaned it. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—when you see that I am holy.
我要使我的大名显为圣；这名在列国中已被亵渎，就是你们在他们中间所亵渎的。我在他们眼前，在你们身上显为圣的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华说的。
24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from every land, and I will bring you to your land.
我必从各国收取你们，从列邦聚集你们，引导你们归回本地。
25 Then I will sprinkle pure water on you so you will be purified from all of your impurities, and I will purify you from all of your idols.
我必用清水洒在你们身上，你们就洁净了。我要洁净你们，使你们脱离一切的污秽，弃掉一切的偶像。
26 I will give you a new heart and a new spirit in your innermost parts, and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh. For I will give you a heart of flesh.
我也要赐给你们一个新心，将新灵放在你们里面，又从你们的肉体中除掉石心，赐给你们肉心。
27 I will set my Spirit in you and enable you to walk in my statutes and keep my decrees, so you will do them.
我必将我的灵放在你们里面，使你们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。
28 Then you will inhabit the land that I gave to your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
你们必住在我所赐给你们列祖之地。你们要作我的子民，我要作你们的 神。
29 For I will save you from all of your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and multiply it. I will no longer put famine upon you.
我必救你们脱离一切的污秽，也必命五谷丰登，不使你们遭遇饥荒。
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will no longer bear the shame of famine among the nations.
我必使树木多结果子，田地多出土产，好叫你们不再因饥荒受外邦人的讥诮。
31 Then you will think of your wicked ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will show loathing on your faces because of your own sins and your disgusting deeds.
那时，你们必追想你们的恶行和你们不善的作为，就因你们的罪孽和可憎的事厌恶自己。
32 I am not doing this for your sake—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—let this be known to you. So be ashamed and disgraced because of your ways, house of Israel.
主耶和华说：你们要知道，我这样行不是为你们。以色列家啊，当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。
33 The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I purify you from all your iniquity, I will cause you to inhabit the cities and to rebuild the ruined places.
“主耶和华如此说：我洁净你们，使你们脱离一切罪孽的日子，必使城邑有人居住，荒场再被建造。
34 For you will plow the ruined land until it is no longer a ruin before the eyes of all who pass by.
过路的人虽看为荒废之地，现今这荒废之地仍得耕种。
35 Then they will say, “This land was desolate, but it has become like the garden of Eden; the desolate cities and the uninhabited ruins that were torn down are now fortified and inhabited.”
他们必说：‘这先前为荒废之地，现在成如伊甸园；这荒废凄凉、毁坏的城邑现在坚固有人居住。’
36 Then the other nations around you will know that I am Yahweh, that I built up the ruins and replanted the abandoned places. I am Yahweh. I have declared it and I will do it.
那时，在你们四围其余的外邦人必知道我—耶和华修造那毁坏之处，培植那荒废之地。我—耶和华说过，也必成就。
37 The Lord Yahweh says this: Again I will be asked by the house of Israel to do this for them, to increase them like a flock of people.
“主耶和华如此说：我要加增以色列家的人数，多如羊群。他们必为这事向我求问，我要给他们成就。
38 Like the flock is set apart for sacrifices, like the flock in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
耶路撒冷在守节作祭物所献的羊群怎样多，照样，荒凉的城邑必被人群充满。他们就知道我是耶和华。”
