Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of Yahweh and set me down in the midst of a valley; it was full of bones.
耶和华的灵降在我身上。耶和华借他的灵带我出去，将我放在平原中；这平原遍满骸骨。
2 Then he made me pass through them round and round. Behold! A great many of them were in the valley. Behold! They were very dry.
他使我从骸骨的四围经过，谁知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且极其枯干。
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live again?” So I said, “Lord Yahweh, you alone know.”
他对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？”我说：“主耶和华啊，你是知道的。”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones. Listen to the word of Yahweh.
他又对我说：“你向这些骸骨发预言说：枯干的骸骨啊，要听耶和华的话。
5 The Lord Yahweh says this to these bones: Behold! I am about to put breath into you, and you will live.
主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说：‘我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。
6 I will place sinews over you and bring flesh onto you. I will cover you with skin and put breath within you so you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
我必给你们加上筋，使你们长肉，又将皮遮蔽你们，使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了；你们便知道我是耶和华。’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; as I prophesied, behold, a sound came, that of shaking. Then the bones drew together—bone against bone.
于是，我遵命说预言。正说预言的时候，不料，有响声，有地震；骨与骨互相联络。
8 I looked and, behold, sinews were now on them, and flesh grew up and skin covered them. But there was still no breath in them.
我观看，见骸骨上有筋，也长了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是还没有气息。
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Breath, come from the four winds, and breathe on these who have been killed, so they may live.'”
主对我说：“人子啊，你要发预言，向风发预言，说主耶和华如此说：气息啊，要从四方而来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们活了。”
10 So I prophesied as I was commanded; the breath came into them and they lived. Then they stood on their feet, a very great army.
于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队。
11 Then Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the entire house of Israel. Behold! They are saying, 'Our bones have dried up, and our hope is gone. We have been cut off.'
主对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨就是以色列全家。他们说：‘我们的骨头枯干了，我们的指望失去了，我们灭绝净尽了。’
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will open your graves and lift you out from them, my people. I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
所以你要发预言对他们说，主耶和华如此说：‘我的民哪，我必开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，领你们进入以色列地。
13 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when I open your graves and bring you out from them, my people.
我的民哪，我开你们的坟墓，使你们从坟墓中出来，你们就知道我是耶和华。
14 I will place my Spirit within you so you will live, and I will cause you to rest in your land when you know that I am Yahweh. I declare and will do it—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
我必将我的灵放在你们里面，你们就要活了。我将你们安置在本地，你们就知道我—耶和华如此说，也如此成就了。这是耶和华说的。’”
15 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
16 “So now you, son of man, take one stick for yourself and write on it, 'For Judah and for the people of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim, and for all the people of Israel, their companions.'
“人子啊，你要取一根木杖，在其上写‘为犹大和他的同伴以色列人’；又取一根木杖，在其上写‘为约瑟，就是为以法莲，又为他的同伴以色列全家’。
17 Bring both of them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
你要使这两根木杖接连为一，在你手中成为一根。
18 When your people speak to you and say, 'Will you not tell us what these things of yours mean?'
你本国的子民问你说：‘这是什么意思？你不指示我们吗？’
19 then say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am taking the branch of Joseph that is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions and joining it to the branch of Judah, so that they will make one branch, and they will become one in my hand.'
你就对他们说：‘主耶和华如此说：我要将约瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖，就是那在以法莲手中的，与犹大的杖一同接连为一，在我手中成为一根。’
20 Hold in your hand the branches that you wrote on before their eyes.
你所写的那两根杖要在他们眼前拿在手中，
21 Declare to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am about to take the people of Israel from among the nations where they went. I will gather them from the surrounding lands and I will bring them to their land.
要对他们说，主耶和华如此说：我要将以色列人从他们所到的各国收取，又从四围聚集他们，引导他们归回本地。
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and there will be one king as king over all of them, and they will no longer be two nations. They will no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
我要使他们在那地，在以色列山上成为一国，有一王作他们众民的王。他们不再为二国，决不再分为二国；
23 Then they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, their disgusting things, or any of their other sins. For I will save them from all of their faithless actions with which they have sinned, and I will purify them, so they will be my people and I will be their God.
也不再因偶像和可憎的物，并一切的罪过玷污自己。我却要救他们出离一切的住处，就是他们犯罪的地方；我要洁净他们，如此，他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的 神。
24 David my servant will be king over them. So there will be one shepherd over them all, and they will walk according to my decrees and they will keep my statutes and obey them.
“我的仆人大卫必作他们的王；众民必归一个牧人。他们必顺从我的典章，谨守遵行我的律例。
25 They will live in the land that I have given to my servant Jacob, where your fathers had stayed. They will live in it forever—they, their children, and their grandchildren, for David my servant will be their chief forever.
他们必住在我赐给我仆人雅各的地上，就是你们列祖所住之地。他们和他们的子孙，并子孙的子孙，都永远住在那里。我的仆人大卫必作他们的王，直到永远。
26 I will establish a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish them and multiply them and set my holy place in their midst forever.
并且我要与他们立平安的约，作为永约。我也要将他们安置在本地，使他们的人数增多，又在他们中间设立我的圣所，直到永远。
27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
我的居所必在他们中间；我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
28 Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh who sets Israel apart, when my holy place is among them forever.'”
我的圣所在以色列人中间直到永远，外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成为圣的耶和华。”
