Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
神赐福给以色列
36 “人子啊，你要对以色列群山说预言：以色列群山哪，要听耶和华的话。 2 主耶和华如此说，因仇敌说：‘啊哈！这古老的丘坛都归我们为业了！’ 3 所以你要预言，说：主耶和华如此说：因为敌人使你荒凉，四围践踏你，要叫你归其余的列国为业，使你们成为各族的话柄与百姓的笑谈； 4 因此，以色列群山哪，要听主耶和华的话。对那遭四围其余列国占据、讥刺的大山小冈、水沟山谷、荒废之地、被弃之城，主耶和华如此说； 5 所以，主耶和华如此说：我因妒火中烧，就责备其余的列国和以东的众人。他们快乐满怀，心存恨恶，将我的地占为己有，视为被抛弃的掠物。 6 所以，你要指着以色列地说预言，对大山小冈、水沟山谷说，主耶和华如此说：看哪，我在妒忌和愤怒中宣布：因你们曾受列国的羞辱， 7 所以我起誓说，你们四围的列国要担当自己的羞辱。这是主耶和华说的。
8 “以色列群山哪，要长出枝条，为我子民以色列结出果子，因为他们即将来到。 9 看哪，我是帮助你们的，我要转向你们，使你们得以耕作栽种。 10 我要使以色列全家在你们那里人数增多，城镇有人居住，废墟重新建造。 11 我要使人丁和牲畜在你们那里加增，他们必生养众多。我要使你们那里像以前一样有人居住，并要赐福，比先前更多；你们就知道我是耶和华。 12 我要使我的子民以色列在你们那里行走，他们必得你为业；你就成为他们的产业，不再使他们丧失儿女。 13 主耶和华如此说，因为人对你们说‘你是吞吃人的，又使国民丧失儿女’， 14 所以你必不再吞吃人，也不再使国民丧失儿女。这是主耶和华说的。 15 我使你不再听见列国的羞辱；你必不再受万民的辱骂，也不再使国民绊跌。这是主耶和华说的。”
以色列的新生活
16 耶和华的话临到我，说： 17 “人子啊，以色列家住本地的时候，所作所为使那地玷污。他们的行为在我面前，好像妇人在经期中那样污秽。 18 所以我因他们在那地流人的血，且以偶像使那地玷污，就把我的愤怒倾倒在他们身上。 19 我将他们分散到列国，四散在列邦，按他们的所作所为惩罚他们。 20 他们到了[a]所去的列国，使我的圣名被亵渎；因为人谈论他们说，这是耶和华的子民，却从耶和华的地出来。 21 但我顾惜我的圣名，就是以色列家在所到的列国中亵渎的。
22 “所以，你要对以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，我做这事不是为你们，而是为了我的圣名，就是你们在所到的列国中亵渎的。 23 我要使我至大的名显为圣；这名在列国中已遭亵渎，是你们在他们中间亵渎的。我在他们眼前，在你们身上显为圣的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华说的。 24 我必从列国带领你们，从列邦聚集你们，领你们回到本地。 25 我必洒清水在你们身上，你们就洁净了。我要洁净你们，使你们脱离一切的污秽，弃绝一切的偶像。 26 我也要赐给你们一颗新心，将新灵放在你们里面，又从你们的肉体中除掉石心，赐给你们肉心。 27 我必将我的灵放在你们里面，使你们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。 28 你们必住在我所赐给你们祖先之地；你们要作我的子民，我要作你们的 神。 29 我要救你们脱离一切的污秽，也要令五谷丰登，使你们不再遭遇饥荒。 30 我要使树木多结果子，田地多出土产，好叫你们不再因饥荒被列国凌辱。 31 那时，你们必追念自己的恶行和不好的作为，就因你们的罪孽和可憎的事厌恶自己。 32 你们要知道，我这样做不是为你们。以色列家啊，你们当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。这是主耶和华说的。
33 “主耶和华如此说：我洁净你们，使你们脱离一切罪孽的日子，必使城镇有人居住，废墟重新建造。 34 这荒芜的土地，曾被过路的人看为荒芜，现今却得以耕种。 35 他们必说：‘这荒芜之地，现在成了像伊甸园一样；这荒凉、荒废、毁坏的城镇，现今坚固，有人居住。’ 36 那时，在你们四围其余的列国必知道，我—耶和华修造那毁坏之处，开垦那荒芜之地。我—耶和华说了这话，就必成就。
37 “主耶和华如此说：我要回应以色列家的求问，成全他们，增添他们的人数，使他们多如羊群。 38 在耶路撒冷守节时，作为祭物所献的羊群有多少，照样，荒凉的城镇必为人群所充满；他们就知道我是耶和华。”

预言赐福以色列
36 “人子啊，你要向以色列的山岭发预言说，‘以色列的山岭啊，你们要听耶和华的话！ 2 主耶和华这样说，仇敌说，哈哈，这古老的山峰归我们了！’ 3 所以你要发预言，宣告主耶和华这样说，‘你们被蹂躏、掠夺，归了列国所有，成了外族人的话柄和笑谈。 4 因此，以色列的山岭、溪流、幽谷、荒地、废墟以及那些被外族人掳掠和讥讽的城邑啊，你们要听主耶和华的话。’ 5 主耶和华说，‘我要在怒火中斥责列国和以东，他们幸灾乐祸，满腹愤恨，把我的土地据为己有，侵占其中的草场。’ 6 所以你要对以色列说预言，告诉以色列的山冈溪谷，耶和华这样说，‘因为你们曾遭受外族人的羞辱，我为你们满怀义愤。 7 所以我誓言要让你们四围的外族人也受羞辱。这是主耶和华说的。
8 “‘以色列的山岭啊，你们要为我的以色列子民长出枝叶，结出果子，因为他们快要回来了。 9 看啊，我要帮助你们，垂顾你们，使你们被耕种。 10 我要增加居住在你们那里的以色列人，使城邑有人居住，废墟得以重建。 11 我要使你们那里的人畜兴旺，多多繁衍，我要使人们居住在你们那里，好像以前一样，让你们比以前更兴盛。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。 12 我要引领我的以色列子民在你们那里出入，使你们成为他们的产业，不再夺走他们的儿女。’ 13 主耶和华说，‘虽然人们说你们吞吃以色列人、夺走他们的儿女。 14 但你们今后必不再吞吃以色列人，不再夺走他们的儿女。这是主耶和华说的。 15 我必不再使你们听见外族人的辱骂和嘲笑，也不再使你们的国民丧失子女。这是主耶和华说的。’”
16 耶和华对我说： 17 “人子啊，当以色列人住在本土时，他们的恶行玷污了那里，他们的行为在我眼中就像经期的妇女一样污秽。 18 他们杀人流血，祭拜偶像，玷污了那地方，所以我要把我的烈怒倾倒在他们身上， 19 把他们驱散到列国，分散到列邦，照他们的行为报应他们。 20 他们无论分散到何处，都使我的圣名受到亵渎，因为外族人都谈论他们说，‘这些人是耶和华的子民，却不得不离开耶和华的土地。’ 21 我顾惜我的圣名，就是以色列人在所去的列国亵渎的圣名。
22 “因此，你要告诉以色列人，主耶和华这样说，‘以色列人啊，我要行这事并非因为你们的缘故，而是因为我圣名的缘故，就是你们在所去列国亵渎的圣名。 23 我要使我伟大的名，就是你们在列国中所亵渎的名，彰显它的圣洁。我要当着列国的面在你们身上彰显我的圣洁，那时他们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华说的。 24 我要从列邦列国招聚你们，领你们返回故土。 25 我要在你们身上洒清水洁净你们，洗净你们所有的污秽，除掉你们心中一切的偶像。 26 我要赐你们一颗新心，把新的灵放在你们里面。我要除去你们的石心，赐给你们一颗肉心。 27 我要把我的灵放在你们里面，使你们恪守我的律例，谨遵我的典章。 28 你们必安居在我赐给你们祖先的土地上。你们要做我的子民，我要做你们的上帝。 29 我要拯救你们脱离各样的污秽之事。我要使你们五谷丰登，不让饥荒侵害你们。 30 我要使树木硕果累累，田间出产丰盛，免得你们因饥荒再被外族人讥笑。 31 那时，你们便会想起自己邪恶的行径，并因自己的罪恶和可憎行为而厌恶自己。 32 主耶和华说，你们应当知道，我这样做并不是为了你们。以色列人啊，你们应当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。’
33 “主耶和华说，‘在我洗净你们一切罪恶的日子，我要使你们的城邑有人居住，废墟得以重建。 34 荒凉之地必有人耕种，路人再也看不见荒地。 35 他们会说，以前的荒凉之地如今竟变得像伊甸园，被毁坏废弃的荒凉城邑已经设防，有人居住。 36 这样，你们四周其余的民族便知道我耶和华已重建毁坏之处，重新耕种荒废之地。我耶和华言出必行。’
37 “主耶和华说，‘我要再次答应以色列人的恳求，使他们的人口增加，多如羊群。 38 我要使毁坏的城邑住满人，多如耶路撒冷在节期所献上的羊群。这样，他们就知道我是耶和华。’”
Ezekiel 36
Easy-to-Read Version
The Land of Israel Will Be Rebuilt
36 “Son of man,[a] speak to the mountains of Israel for me. Tell them to listen to the word of the Lord! 2 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘The enemy said bad things against you. They said, Hurray! Now the ancient mountains[b] will be ours!’
3 “So speak to the mountains of Israel for me. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘The enemy destroyed your cities and attacked you from every direction. They did this so that you would belong to the other nations. Then people talked and whispered about you.’”
4 So, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains, hills, streams, valleys, empty ruins, and abandoned cities that have been looted and laughed at by the other nations around them. 5 The Lord God says, “I swear, I will let my strong feelings speak for me! I will let Edom and the other nations feel my anger. They took my land for themselves. They really had a good time when they showed how much they hated this land. They took the land for themselves, just so they could destroy it.”
6 “So say these things about the land of Israel. Speak to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams, and to the valleys. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will let my strong feelings and anger speak for me, because you had to suffer the insults from those nations.’”
7 So this is what the Lord God says: “I am the one making this promise! I swear that the nations around you will have to suffer for those insults.
8 “But mountains of Israel, you will grow new trees and produce fruit for my people Israel. My people will soon come back. 9 I am with you, and I will help you. People will till your soil and plant seeds in you. 10 There will be many people living on you. The whole family of Israel—all of them—will live there. The cities will have people living in them. The destroyed places will be rebuilt. 11 I will give you many people and animals, and they will grow and have many children. I will bring people to live on you as in the past. I will make it better for you than before. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 Yes, I will lead many people—my people, Israel—to your land. You will be their property, and you will not take away their children again.”
13 This is what the Lord God says: “Land of Israel, people say bad things to you. They say you destroyed your people. They say you took the children away from your people. 14 But you will not destroy people anymore or take away their children again.” This is what the Lord God said. 15 “I will not let those other nations insult you anymore. You will not be hurt by them anymore. You will not take the children away from your people again.” This is what the Lord God said.
The Lord Will Protect His Name
16 Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, 17 “Son of man, the family of Israel lived in their own country, but they made that land filthy by the bad things they did. To me, they were like a woman who becomes unclean because of her monthly time of bleeding. 18 They spilled blood on the ground when they murdered people in the land. They made the land filthy with their idols, so I showed them how angry I was. 19 I scattered them among the nations and spread them through all the lands. I gave them the punishment they deserved for the bad things they did. 20 But even in those other nations, they ruined my good name. How? Those nations said, ‘These are the Lord’s people, but they left his land.’
21 “The people of Israel ruined my holy name wherever they went, and I felt sorry for my name. 22 So tell the family of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: ‘Family of Israel, you ruined my holy name in the places where you went. I am going to do something to stop this. I will not do it for your sake, Israel. I will do it for my holy name. 23 I will show the nations how holy my great name really is. You ruined my good name in those nations! But I will show you that I am holy. I will make you respect my name, and then those nations will know that I am the Lord.’” This is what the Lord God said.
24 “I will take you out of those nations, gather you together, and bring you back to your own land. 25 Then I will sprinkle pure water on you and make you pure. I will wash away all your filth, the filth from those nasty idols, and I will make you pure. 26 I will also put a new spirit in you to change your way of thinking. I will take out the heart of stone from your body and give you a tender, human heart. 27 I will put my Spirit inside you[c] and change you so that you will obey my laws. You will carefully obey my commands. 28 Then you will live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 Also, I will save you and keep you from becoming unclean. I will command the grain to grow. I will not bring a famine against you. 30 I will give you large crops of fruit from your trees and the harvest from your fields so that you will never again feel the shame of being hungry in a foreign country. 31 You will remember the bad things you did. You will remember that those things were not good. Then you will hate yourselves because of your sins and the terrible things you did.”
32 The Lord God says, “I want you to remember this: I am not doing these things for your good! I am doing them for my good name. Family of Israel, you should be ashamed and embarrassed about the way you lived!”
33 This is what the Lord God says: “On the day that I wash away your sins, I will bring people back to your cities. The ruined cities will be rebuilt. 34 People will begin again to work the land so when other people pass by they will not see ruins anymore. 35 They will say, ‘In the past, this land was ruined, but now it is like the Garden of Eden. The cities were destroyed. They were ruined and empty, but now they are protected, and there are people living in them.’
36 “Then the nations that are still around you will know I am the Lord and that I rebuilt those places. I planted things in this land that was empty. I am the Lord. I said this, and I will make them happen!”
37 This is what the Lord God says: “I will also let the family of Israel come to me and ask me to do these things for them. I will make them grow and become many people. They will be like flocks of sheep. 38 During the special festivals, Jerusalem was filled with flocks of sheep and goats that had been made holy. In the same way the cities and ruined places will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
