¹枯骨复生的异象

¹There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,

²他带我在骸骨的四围经过；我看见平原上面有很多骸骨，都非常枯干。

²and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.

³他问我：“人子啊！这些骸骨能活过来吗？”我回答：“主耶和华啊！唯有你才知道。”

³And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?` And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.`

⁴他又对我说：“你要向这些骸骨说预言，对它们说：‘枯干的骸骨啊！你们要听耶和华的话。

⁴And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:

⁵主耶和华对这些骸骨这样说：看哪！我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就活过来了。

⁵Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,

⁶我必使你们生筋长肉，给你们包上皮，又把气息放入你们里面，你们必活过来；你们就知道我是耶和华。’”

⁶and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

⁷于是我遵命说预言；我正在说预言的时候，就听见有响声，骨头与骨头互相结合起来，格格作响。

⁷And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.

⁸我观看，见骸骨生了筋，长了肉，又有皮包在上面，只是它们里面还没有气息。

⁸And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none in them.

⁹他对我说：“你要向气息说预言。人子啊！你要说预言。你要向气息说：‘主耶和华这样说：气息啊！你要从四方（“四方”原文作“四风”）而来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使它们活过来。’”

⁹And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.`

¹⁰于是我遵命说预言，气息就进入骸骨里面，骸骨就活过来，并且站起，成了一支极大的军队。

¹⁰And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.

¹¹枯骨的寓意他对我说：“人子啊！这些骸骨就是以色列全家；他们常说：‘我们的骸骨枯干了，我们的盼望消失了；我们都灭亡了。’

¹¹And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.

¹²因此，你要说预言，对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：我的子民哪！我要打开你们的坟墓，把你们从坟墓中领上来，带你们回以色列地去。

¹²Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.

¹³我的子民哪！我打开你们的坟墓，把你们从坟墓中领上来的时候，你们就知道我是耶和华。

¹³And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.

¹⁴我要把我的灵放在你们里面，你们就活过来；我要把你们安顿在你们的土地上，你们就知道我耶和华说了，就必实行。这是主耶和华的宣告。’”

¹⁴And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.`

¹⁵两杖合一的比喻耶和华的话又临到我说：

¹⁵And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

¹⁶“人子啊！你要拿一根木杖，在上面写‘犹大和那些与他一起的以色列人’；又拿另一根木杖，在上面写‘以法莲的木杖，就是约瑟和与他一起的以色列全家’。

¹⁶`And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,

¹⁷你要把这两根木杖连接在一起，使它们在你手里成为一根。

¹⁷and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.

¹⁸如果你本国的人民问你：‘你不告诉我们这些木杖是什么意思吗？’

¹⁸`And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?

¹⁹你就要回答他们：‘主耶和华这样说：看哪！我要拿约瑟和与他一起的以色列众支派的木杖，就是在以法莲手里的，跟犹大的木杖连接在一起，使它们在我手里成为一根。’

¹⁹Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.

²⁰你写上了字的那两根木杖，要在他们眼前握在手里；

²⁰And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,

²¹你要对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：看哪！我要把以色列人从他们所到的列国中领出来，又从四围聚集他们，把他们领回故土。

²¹and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.

²²我要使他们在那地上，在以色列的众山上，成为一国；必有一王统治他们众人；他们不再是两个国，不再分为两个邦。

²²And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.

²³他们必不再因自己的偶像和可憎的像，以及一切过犯，而玷污自己；我必拯救他们脱离一切背道的罪（“背道的罪”有古卷作“他们在其中犯罪的住处”）；我必洁净他们，他们就必作我的子民，我必作他们的　神。

²³Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for God.

²⁴永远的约“‘我的仆人大卫必作他们的王；他们众人只有一个牧者。他们必遵行我的典章，谨守实行我的律例。

²⁴And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.

²⁵他们必住在我所赐给我仆人雅各的地上，就是你们列祖所住的地。他们和他们的子孙，以及子孙的子孙，都必永远住在那里；我的仆人大卫必永远作他们的领袖。

²⁵And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son`s sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.

²⁶我要与他们立平安的约，是一个永远的约；我必坚立他们，使他们人数增多，又在他们中间设立我的圣所，直到永远。

²⁶And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.

²⁷我的居所必在他们当中；我要作他们的　神，他们要作我的子民。

²⁷And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.

²⁸我的圣所必永远在他们中间，列国就知道我是耶和华，是我使以色列成圣的。’”

²⁸And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!`
