结37:1 耶和华的手按在我身上；耶和华借着他的灵领我出去，把我放在平原上，这平原布满了骸骨。
结37:1 The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
结37:2 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。
结37:2 And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
结37:3 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。”
结37:3 And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
结37:4 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。
结37:4 And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
结37:5 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。
结37:5 This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
结37:6 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。’”
结37:6 And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
结37:7 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。
结37:7 So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
结37:8 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。
结37:8 And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
结37:9 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。’”
结37:9 And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
结37:10 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。
结37:10 And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
结37:11 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。’
结37:11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
结37:12 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。
结37:12 For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
结37:13 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。
结37:13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
结37:14 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。’”
结37:14 And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
结37:15 耶和华的话又临到我说：
结37:15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
结37:16 “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’。
结37:16 And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
结37:17 你要把这两根木杖连接在一起，使它们在你手里成为一根。
结37:17 Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
结37:18 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？’
结37:18 And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
结37:19 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。’
结37:19 Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
结37:20 你写上了字的那两根木杖，要在他们眼前握在手里；
结37:20 And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
结37:21 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。
结37:21 And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
结37:22 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。
结37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
结37:23 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。
结37:23 And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
结37:24 “‘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。
结37:24 And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
结37:25 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。
结37:25 And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
结37:26 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。
结37:26 And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
结37:27 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。
结37:27 And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
结37:28 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。’”
结37:28 And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
