Ezekiel 36

1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.

1 “人子啊，你要向以色列的山岭预言说，‘以色列的山岭啊，你们要听耶和华的话！

2 This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’

2 主耶和华这样说：仇敌说，“哈哈，这古老的山峰归我们了！”’

3 therefore prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in slander by the lips of their talkers,

3 所以你要说预言，宣告主耶和华这样说：他们四面蹂躏、摧毁你们，使你们归列国所有，成了外族人的话柄和笑谈。

4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become a spoil and a mockery to the rest of the nations around you.

4 因此，以色列的山岭啊，你们要听主耶和华的话。以下是主耶和华对高山和丘陵，溪流和河谷，荒凉的废墟，以及被周围列国掳掠和讥笑的废弃城邑所说的话。

5 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became plunder.

5 主耶和华说：我要在怒火中斥责列国和以东，他们幸灾乐祸，满腹愤恨地把我的土地据为己有，侵占其中的草场。

6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have endured the reproach of the nations.

6 所以你要对以色列说预言，告诉以色列的高山、丘陵、溪流和河谷，主耶和华这样说：因为你们遭到列国的羞辱，我怀着义愤和烈怒发言。

7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have sworn with an uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will endure reproach of their own.

7 我起誓要让你们四围的列国也受羞辱。这是主耶和华说的。

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.

8 “‘以色列的山岭啊，你们要为我的以色列子民长出枝叶，结出果子，因为他们快要回来了。

9 For behold, I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.

9 看啊，我要帮助你们，垂顾你们，使你们被耕种。

10 I will multiply the people upon you—the house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

10 我要使你们那里的以色列人增加，使城邑有人居住，废墟得以重建。

11 I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

11 我要使你们那里的人畜兴旺，生养众多，我要使人们居住在你们那里，好像以前一样，让你们比以前更兴盛。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。

12 Yes, I will cause My people Israel to walk upon you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of their children.

12 我要引领我的以色列子民在你们那里出入，使你们成为他们的产业，不再夺走他们的儿女。

13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’

13 主耶和华说：虽然人们说你们吞吃以色列人、夺走他们的儿女，

14 therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.

14 但你们今后必不再吞吃以色列人，不再夺走他们的儿女。这是主耶和华说的。

15 I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”

15 我必不再使你们听见列国的辱骂，你们必不再遭受列邦的嘲笑，也不再使你们的国民丧失儿女。这是主耶和华说的。’”

16 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

16 耶和华对我说：

17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.

17 “人子啊，当以色列人住在本土时，他们的恶行玷污了那里，他们的行为在我眼中就像经期的妇女一样污秽。

18 So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

18 他们杀人流血，祭拜偶像，玷污了那地方，所以我要把我的烈怒倾倒在他们身上，

19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered throughout the lands. I judged them according to their ways and deeds.

19 把他们驱散到列国，分散到列邦，照他们的行为报应他们。

20 And wherever they went among the nations, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’

20 他们无论分散到何处，都使我的圣名受到亵渎，因为外族人都谈论他们说，‘这些人是耶和华的子民，却不得不离开耶和华的土地。’

21 But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they had gone.

21 我顾惜我的圣名，就是以色列人在所去的列国亵渎的圣名。

22 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went.

22 “因此，你要告诉以色列人，主耶和华这样说，‘以色列人啊，我要行这事并非因为你们的缘故，而是因为我圣名的缘故，就是你们在所去列国亵渎的圣名。

23 I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.

23 我要使我伟大的名，就是你们在列国中所亵渎的名，彰显它的圣洁。我要当着列国的面在你们身上彰显我的圣洁，那时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 I will bring you back into your own land.

24 我要把你们从列国领出来，从列邦招聚你们，带你们返回故土。

25 I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

25 我要在你们身上洒清水洁净你们，洗净你们所有的污秽，除掉你们一切的偶像。

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

26 我要赐你们一颗新心，把新的灵放在你们里面。我要除去你们的石心，赐给你们一颗肉心。

27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.

27 我要把我的灵放在你们里面，使你们恪守我的律例、谨遵我的典章。

28 Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God.

28 这样，你们必安居在我赐给你们祖先的土地上，你们要做我的子民，我要做你们的上帝。

29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you.

29 我要拯救你们脱离一切污秽之事。我要使你们五谷丰登，不让饥荒侵害你们。

30 I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine.

30 我要使树木硕果累累，田间出产丰盛，免得你们因饥荒再被外族人讥笑。

31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.

31 那时，你们便会想起自己邪恶的行径，并因自己的罪恶和可憎行为而厌恶自己。

32 It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!

32 主耶和华说：你们要知道，我这样做并不是为了你们。以色列人啊，你们应当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。’

33 This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be resettled and the ruins to be rebuilt.

33 “主耶和华说，‘在我洗净你们一切罪恶的日子，我要使你们的城邑有人居住，废墟得以重建。

34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through.

34 荒凉之地必有人耕种，路人再也看不见荒地。

35 Then they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The cities that were once ruined, desolate, and destroyed are now fortified and inhabited.’

35 他们会说：以前的荒凉之地如今竟变得像伊甸园，被毁坏废弃的荒凉城邑已经设防，有人居住。

36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was destroyed, and I have replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.

36 这样，你们四周其余的列国便知道我耶和华已重建毁坏之处，重新耕种荒废之地。我耶和华言出必行。’

37 This is what the Lord GOD says: Once again I will hear the plea of the house of Israel and do for them this: I will multiply their people like a flock.

37 “主耶和华说，‘我要再次答应以色列人的恳求，使他们的人口增加，多如羊群。

38 Like the numerous flocks for sacrifices at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

38 我要使毁坏的城邑住满人，多如耶路撒冷在节期所献上的羊群。这样，他们就知道我是耶和华。’”
