以西結書 39

1 「人子，你講預言攻斥哥格說：吾主上主這樣說：默舍客和突巴耳的最高領袖哥格，看，我要攻擊你，

“Now you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Gog, chief of Meshech and Tubal.

2 我要引誘你，挾持你，使你從極北之地上來，領你到以色列的山上，

I will turn you and lead you on; I will bring you up from the far north and bring you to the mountains of Israel.

3 在那裏我要打掉你左手上的弓，打落你右手上的箭。

Then I will knock your bow out of your left hand and make the arrows fall from your right hand.

4 你和你所有的軍隊，以及同你聯合的眾民，都要喪亡在以色列的山上；我要使你成為各種猛禽和野獸的食物。

You will fall on the mountains of Israel—you and all your troops and the soldiers who are with you. I will give you to the birds of prey and the wild beasts of the fields for food.

5 你要喪亡在原野之上，這原是我親口說的──吾主上主的斷語──

You will fall on the open field, for I myself declare it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

6 我要使火降到瑪哥格和那些安居在群島的人們身上：如此，他們必承認我是上主。

Then I will send out fire on Magog and on those living in safety on the coasts, and they will know that I am Yahweh.

7 我也要在我的百姓以色列中間，顯揚我的聖名，再不讓我的名受到褻瀆：如此，異民便承認我是上主，是以色列的聖者。

For I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will no longer allow my holy name to be profaned; the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.

8 看，我所說的那一天，已經來近，必要實現──吾主上主的斷語。

Behold! The day is coming, and it will take place—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

9 那時住在以色列各城的人必要出來，點火焚燒武器：有大小盾牌、弓、箭、槍和茅；他們將用來燒火，七年之久。

The ones living in the cities of Israel will go out and they will use weapons to kindle and make fires and burn them—small shields, large shields, bows, arrows, the clubs and spears; they will make fires with them for seven years.

10 他們不必到田間拾柴，也不必到林中伐木，因為也武器可作柴燒；他們還要搶奪那些搶奪過他們的人，劫掠那些劫掠過他們的人──吾主上主的斷語──

They will not gather wood from the fields or cut down trees from the forests, since they will burn the weapons; they will take from those who wanted to take from them; they will plunder those who wanted to plunder them—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”

11 在那一天，我要在以色列把一出名的地方，即死海以東阿巴陵山谷，給哥格作墳地；這山谷使過路的人止步，哥格和他的一切軍隊要埋在那裏，因此人叫那地方為『哥格群眾谷。』

Then it will happen on that day that I will make a place there for Gog—a grave in Israel, a valley for those who journey to the east of the sea. It will block those who wish to cross over. There they will bury Gog with all his multitudes. They will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

12 以色列家族埋葬他們，為清除此地，要費時七個月。

For seven months the house of Israel will bury them in order to purify the land.

13 那地方的全體百姓都要埋葬他們。在我顯示光榮的日子，為他們也要光榮──吾主上主的斷語──

For all the people of the land will bury them; it will be a memorable day for them when I am glorified—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

14 他們還要派定一些人不斷巡邏那地，尋找在那地方遺留下的屍體，為清除那地；七個月之後它們仍繼續尋找。

Then they will designate men to continually go through the land, to find those who were traveling through, but who died and their bodies remained on the surface of the land, so that they may bury them, in order to cleanse the land. At the end of the seventh month they will begin their search.

15 過路的人經過那地的時候，若發見一個人的骨骸，就在他旁邊放一個記號，等待埋葬的人將他埋葬在『哥格群眾谷。』

As these men pass through the land, when they see any human bone, they will put a marker by it, until gravediggers come and bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

16 那裏有一座城，要叫哈摩納。他們就這樣清除了那地。

There will be a city there by the name of Hamonah. In this way they will purify the land.

17 吾主上主這樣說：人子，你要向各種飛鳥，各樣野獸說：你們應集合前來，從四方來參加我給你們在以色列山上所準備的隆重祭餐，你們要吃肉飲血。

Now to you, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says this: Say to all the winged birds and all the wild beasts in the fields, 'Gather together and come. Gather from all around to the sacrifice that I myself am making for you, a large sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, so that you may consume flesh and drink blood.

18 你們要吃將士的肉，飲各地王侯的血；還有山羊、綿羊、公山羊、牛犢，都是巴商的肥畜。

You will consume the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth; they will be rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, they were all fattened in Bashan.

19 你們要在我給你們準備的祭餐中，吃肉吃到飽，飲血飲到醉。

Then you will eat fat to your satisfaction; you will drink blood until drunkenness; this will be the sacrifice that I will slaughter for you.

20 你們在我的宴席上要飽食馬肉，戰馬、將士和所有軍人的肉──吾主上主的斷語。

You will be satisfied at my table with horse, chariot, warrior, and every man of war—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'

21 我要在異民中顯示我的光榮，萬民要看見我所施行的懲罰，看見是我舉手打擊了他們。

I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my judgment that I perform and my hand that I have set against them.

22 從那天起，以色列家族必要承認我，上主是他們的天主。

The house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day onward.

23 異民也要知道以色列家族充軍，是為了他們的罪惡，因為他們違背了我，我遂掩面不顧他們，把他們交在敵人手中，全都喪身刀下。

The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity because of their iniquity by which they betrayed me, so I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries so that all of them fell by the sword.

24 我按他們的罪過和惡行對待了他們，掩面不看他們。

I did to them according to their uncleanness and their sins, when I hid my face from them.

25 為此吾主上主這樣說：現今我要轉變雅各伯的命運，憐恤以色列家族。為我的聖名而大發妒火。

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all the house of Israel, when I act with zeal for my holy name.

26 當他們安居在自己的地域中，沒有人來驚擾時，他們將忘記自己的恥辱和違背我所犯的一切抗命之罪。

Then they will bear their shame and all the treason in which they betrayed me. They will forget all this when they rest in their land in safety, with no one to terrify them.

27 當我從各民族中把他們領回，從他們敵人的地方聚集他們，在眾異民眼前，在他們身上顯聖時，

When I restore them from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, I will show myself to be holy in the sight of many nations.

28 他們必承認我上主是他們的天主，因為我將他們放逐於異民之中以後，又把他們聚集到自己的地方，一個也沒有留在異民中。

Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God, for I sent them into captivity among the nations, but then I will gather them back to their land. I will not leave any of them among the nations.

29 我不再掩面不看他們，因為我將我的神已傾注於以色列家族──吾主上主的斷語。」

I will no longer hide my face from them when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
