Ezekiel 37

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.

1 耶和华的手按在我身上，耶和华借祂的灵把我带到一个山谷，那里遍地都是骸骨。

2 He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.

2 祂领我在骸骨间走了一圈，我看到谷中的骸骨相当多，都是枯骨。

3 Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”

3 祂对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？”我说：“主耶和华啊，只有你知道。”

4 And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

4 祂又对我说：“你对这些骸骨说预言，‘枯骨啊，你们要听耶和华说的话！

5 This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.

5 主耶和华对这些骸骨说：我要使气息进入你们里面，你们就必复活过来。

6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

6 我必给你们加上筋，使你们长出肉，再包上皮，将气息放在你们里面，你们就复活了。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。’”

7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

7 于是，我便按耶和华的吩咐向枯骨说预言，我正说预言的时候，忽然有响声，是震动的声音，骨头便彼此连在了一起。

8 As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.

8 我又看见骨头上有了筋，长了肉，包上了皮，只是还没有气息。

9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”

9 耶和华对我说：“人子啊，你要向气息 说预言，告诉气息，主耶和华这样说，‘气息啊，从四方吹来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们复活。’”

10 So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.

10 于是，我便按耶和华的吩咐说预言，气息就进入他们里面，他们便复活了，并且站立起来，成为一支大军。

11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’

11 耶和华对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨就是所有的以色列人。他们说，‘我们骨头枯干，希望幻灭，彻底完了。’

12 Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

12 因此，你要说预言，告诉他们，‘主耶和华说：我的子民啊，我要打开你们的坟墓，领你们出来，我要领你们返回以色列。

13 Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.

13 我的子民啊，当我这样做的时候，你们就知道我是耶和华。

14 I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”

14 我要把我的灵放在你们里面，使你们复活，安居在自己的土地上，那时你们就知道我耶和华言出必行。这是耶和华说的。’”

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

15 耶和华对我说：

16 “And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’

16 “人子啊，你拿一根杖来，写上‘犹大和他的以色列同伴’，然后再拿另一根杖，写上‘约瑟，即以法莲，与他的以色列同伴’。

17 Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.

17 然后把这两根杖连成一根，拿在手中。

18 When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’

18 当你的同胞问你这是什么意思时，

19 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’

19 你就告诉他们，主耶和华这样说，‘我要把约瑟和他的以色列同伴的杖，就是以法莲手中的杖，与犹大的杖连接在一起，在我手中成为一根。’

20 When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,

20 你要拿着这两根写着字的杖让他们看，

21 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.

21 告诉他们，主耶和华这样说，‘我要把以色列人从他们流亡的列国领出来，从四围招聚他们，带他们回归故土。

22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.

22 我要使他们在以色列的土地和群山上成为一国，只有一位王统治他们，不再是两个国家，不再分为两个王国。

23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.

23 他们不会再因偶像、可憎之物或任何过犯而玷污自己，我要从他们犯罪的地方把他们救出来，洗净他们的罪。他们要做我的子民，我要做他们的上帝。

24 My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.

24 “‘我的仆人大卫要做王治理他们，成为他们唯一的牧人。他们必恪守我的典章，谨遵我的律例。

25 They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.

25 他们要安居在我赐给我仆人雅各的土地上，就是你们祖先居住的地方。他们世世代代都要永远居住在那里，我仆人大卫要永远做他们的王。

26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.

26 我要与他们订立平安之约，是永远的约，使他们安居，人丁兴旺，并且我的圣所要永远设立在他们当中。

27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.

27 我要住在他们中间。我要做他们的上帝，他们要做我的子民。

28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”

28 我的圣所永远设立在他们当中之时，列国便会知道我耶和华使以色列圣洁。’”
