Ezekiel 36
1 You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear the LORD’s word.
“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 GOD says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in 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 GOD says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”
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, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
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 GOD says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’
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 concerning Eretz-Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the 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 GOD says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their 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 shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
“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 will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.
看哪，我是帮助你的，也必向你转意，使你得以耕种。
10 I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
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 animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
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 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”
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 GOD says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’
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 shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord GOD.
所以主耶和华说：你必不再吞吃人，也不再使国民丧子。
15 “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord GOD.’”
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 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说：
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
“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 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with 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, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to 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 When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and have left 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 respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.
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 tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.
“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 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.
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 “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own 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 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all 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 also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and 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 put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and 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 You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. 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 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on 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 increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach 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 remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
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 don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord GOD. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for 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 GOD says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
“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 The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
过路的人虽看为荒废之地，现今这荒废之地仍得耕种。
35 They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are 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 nations that are left around you will know that I, the LORD, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken 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 GOD says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
“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 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
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。”
