耶和华的话临到我说,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
所以你当说,耶和华如此说,我虽将以色列全家远远迁移到列国中,将他们分散在列邦内,我还要在他们所到的列邦,暂作他们的圣所。
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
我要使他们有合一的心,也要将新灵放在他们里面,又从他们肉体中除掉石心,赐给他们肉心,
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
使他们顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章。他们要作我的子民,我要作他们的神。
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
至于那些心中随从可憎可厌之物的,我必照他们所行的报应在他们头上。这是主耶和华说的。
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
灵将我举起,在异象中藉着神的灵将我带进迦勒底地,到被掳的人那里。我所见的异象就离我上升去了。
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
我便将耶和华所指示我的一切事都说给被掳的人听。
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
现在我将真事指示你,波斯还有三王兴起,第四王必富足远胜诸王。他因富足成为强盛,就必激动大众攻击希腊国。
And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
南方的王必强盛,他将帅中必有一个比他更强盛,执掌权柄,他的权柄甚大。
And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
过些年后,他们必互相连合,南方王的女儿必就了北方王来立约。但这女子帮助之力存立不住,王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立。这女子和引导她来的,并生她的,以及当时扶助她的,都必交于死地。
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
