1枯骨復生的異象耶和華的手按在我身上；耶和華藉著他的靈領我出去，把我放在平原上，這平原布滿了骸骨。
1The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2他帶我在骸骨的四圍經過；我看見平原上面有很多骸骨，都非常枯乾。
2He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.
3他問我：“人子啊！這些骸骨能活過來嗎？”我回答：“主耶和華啊！唯有你才知道。”
3He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.
4他又對我說：“你要向這些骸骨說預言，對它們說：‘枯乾的骸骨啊！你們要聽耶和華的話。
4Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.
5主耶和華對這些骸骨這樣說：看哪！我必使氣息進入你們裡面，你們就活過來了。
5Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
6我必使你們生筋長肉，給你們包上皮，又把氣息放入你們裡面，你們必活過來；你們就知道我是耶和華。’”
6I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
7於是我遵命說預言；我正在說預言的時候，就聽見有響聲，骨頭與骨頭互相結合起來，格格作響。
7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8我觀看，見骸骨生了筋，長了肉，又有皮包在上面，只是它們裡面還沒有氣息。
8I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
9他對我說：“你要向氣息說預言。人子啊！你要說預言。你要向氣息說：‘主耶和華這樣說：氣息啊！你要從四方（“四方”原文作“四風”）而來，吹在這些被殺的人身上，使它們活過來。’”
9Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
10於是我遵命說預言，氣息就進入骸骨裡面，骸骨就活過來，並且站起，成了一支極大的軍隊。
10So 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.
11枯骨的寓意他對我說：“人子啊！這些骸骨就是以色列全家；他們常說：‘我們的骸骨枯乾了，我們的盼望消失了；我們都滅亡了。’
11Then 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 clean cut off.
12因此，你要說預言，對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說：我的子民哪！我要打開你們的墳墓，把你們從墳墓中領上來，帶你們回以色列地去。
12Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
13我的子民哪！我打開你們的墳墓，把你們從墳墓中領上來的時候，你們就知道我是耶和華。
13You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
14我要把我的靈放在你們裡面，你們就活過來；我要把你們安頓在你們的土地上，你們就知道我耶和華說了，就必實行。這是主耶和華的宣告。’”
14I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh.
15兩杖合一的比喻耶和華的話又臨到我說：
15The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
16“人子啊！你要拿一根木杖，在上面寫‘猶大和那些與他一起的以色列人’；又拿另一根木杖，在上面寫‘以法蓮的木杖，就是約瑟和與他一起的以色列全家’。
16You, 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:
17你要把這兩根木杖連接在一起，使它們在你手裡成為一根。
17and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18如果你本國的人民問你：‘你不告訴我們這些木杖是甚麼意思嗎？’
18When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19你就要回答他們：‘主耶和華這樣說：看哪！我要拿約瑟和與他一起的以色列眾支派的木杖，就是在以法蓮手裡的，跟猶大的木杖連接在一起，使它們在我手裡成為一根。’
19tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20你寫上了字的那兩根木杖，要在他們眼前握在手裡；
20The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21你要對他們說：‘主耶和華這樣說：看哪！我要把以色列人從他們所到的列國中領出來，又從四圍聚集他們，把他們領回故土。
21Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22我要使他們在那地上，在以色列的眾山上，成為一國；必有一王統治他們眾人；他們不再是兩個國，不再分為兩個邦。
22and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;
23他們必不再因自己的偶像和可憎的像，以及一切過犯，而玷污自己；我必拯救他們脫離一切背道的罪（“背道的罪”有古卷作“他們在其中犯罪的住處”）；我必潔淨他們，他們就必作我的子民，我必作他們的 神。
23neither shall they 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 shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24永遠的約“‘我的僕人大衛必作他們的王；他們眾人只有一個牧者。他們必遵行我的典章，謹守實行我的律例。
24My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25他們必住在我所賜給我僕人雅各的地上，就是你們列祖所住的地。他們和他們的子孫，以及子孫的子孫，都必永遠住在那裡；我的僕人大衛必永遠作他們的領袖。
25They shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
26我要與他們立平安的約，是一個永遠的約；我必堅立他們，使他們人數增多，又在他們中間設立我的聖所，直到永遠。
26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore.
27我的居所必在他們當中；我要作他們的 神，他們要作我的子民。
27My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28我的聖所必永遠在他們中間，列國就知道我是耶和華，是我使以色列成聖的。’”
28The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst forevermore.
