Ezekiel 37
1 The LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in the LORD’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
耶和華的靈降在我身上。耶和華藉他的靈帶我出去，將我放在平原中；這平原遍滿骸骨。
2 He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, they were very dry.
他使我從骸骨的四圍經過，誰知在平原的骸骨甚多，而且極其枯乾。
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”
他對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨能復活嗎？」我說：「主耶和華啊，你是知道的。」
4 Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.
他又對我說：「你向這些骸骨發預言說：枯乾的骸骨啊，要聽耶和華的話。
5 The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
主耶和華對這些骸骨如此說：『我必使氣息進入你們裏面，你們就要活了。
6 I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
我必給你們加上筋，使你們長肉，又將皮遮蔽你們，使氣息進入你們裏面，你們就要活了；你們便知道我是耶和華。』」
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.
於是，我遵命說預言。正說預言的時候，不料，有響聲，有地震；骨與骨互相聯絡。
8 I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
我觀看，見骸骨上有筋，也長了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上，只是還沒有氣息。
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”
主對我說：「人子啊，你要發預言，向風發預言，說主耶和華如此說：氣息啊，要從四方而來，吹在這些被殺的人身上，使他們活了。」
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
於是我遵命說預言，氣息就進入骸骨，骸骨便活了，並且站起來，成為極大的軍隊。
11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’
主對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨就是以色列全家。他們說：『我們的骨頭枯乾了，我們的指望失去了，我們滅絕淨盡了。』
12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into Eretz-Israel.
所以你要發預言對他們說，主耶和華如此說：『我的民哪，我必開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，領你們進入以色列地。
13 You will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
我的民哪，我開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，你們就知道我是耶和華。
14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
我必將我的靈放在你們裏面，你們就要活了。我將你們安置在本地，你們就知道我－耶和華如此說，也如此成就了。這是耶和華說的。』」
15 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
16 “You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’
「人子啊，你要取一根木杖，在其上寫『為猶大和他的同伴以色列人』；又取一根木杖，在其上寫『為約瑟，就是為以法蓮，又為他的同伴以色列全家』。
17 Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
你要使這兩根木杖接連為一，在你手中成為一根。
18 “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
你本國的子民問你說：『這是甚麼意思？你不指示我們嗎？』
19 tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
你就對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我要將約瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖，就是那在以法蓮手中的，與猶大的杖一同接連為一，在我手中成為一根。』
20 The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
你所寫的那兩根杖要在他們眼前拿在手中，
21 Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from amongst the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
要對他們說，主耶和華如此說：我要將以色列人從他們所到的各國收取，又從四圍聚集他們，引導他們歸回本地。
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
我要使他們在那地，在以色列山上成為一國，有一王作他們眾民的王。他們不再為二國，決不再分為二國；
23 They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.
也不再因偶像和可憎的物，並一切的罪過玷污自己。我卻要救他們出離一切的住處，就是他們犯罪的地方；我要潔淨他們，如此，他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的上帝。
24 “‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them.
「我的僕人大衛必作他們的王；眾民必歸一個牧人。他們必順從我的典章，謹守遵行我的律例。
25 They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
他們必住在我賜給我僕人雅各的地上，就是你們列祖所住之地。他們和他們的子孫，並子孫的子孫，都永遠住在那裏。我的僕人大衛必作他們的王，直到永遠。
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary amongst them forever more.
並且我要與他們立平安的約，作為永約。我也要將他們安置在本地，使他們的人數增多，又在他們中間設立我的聖所，直到永遠。
27 My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
我的居所必在他們中間；我要作他們的上帝，他們要作我的子民。
28 The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is amongst them forever more.”’”
我的聖所在以色列人中間直到永遠，外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成為聖的耶和華。」
