1枯骨复生的异象
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。
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。”
3He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.
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。
4Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.
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 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。’”
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。
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。
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。’”
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。
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。’
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 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。
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。’”
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.
15两杖合一的比喻耶和华的话又临到我说：
15The word of Yahweh came again to 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’。
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你要把这两根木杖连接在一起，使它们在你手里成为一根。
17and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18如果你本国的人民问你：‘你不告诉我们这些木杖是什么意思吗？’
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。’
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你写上了字的那两根木杖，要在他们眼前握在手里；
20The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their 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。
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 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。
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。
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。
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。
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我的居所必在他们当中；我要作他们的 神，他们要作我的子民。
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。’”
28The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst forevermore.
