Ezekiel 37
1 Angraeng ih ban ka nuiah oh, Angraeng ih Muithla mah ang zaeh moe, ahuh koimong ah kaom azawn salakah ang suek.
Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2 Anih mah to ahuhnawk salakah kai ang caehsak, khenah, azawn ah kaom paroeai pop ahuhnawk to ka hnuk; ahuhnawk loe paroeai roem o.
He 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 Anih mah, Kami capa, hae ahuhnawk loe hing o thai tih maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nangmah na panoek, tiah ka naa.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
4 To pacoengah kai khaeah, Hae ahuhnawk khaeah, Aw karoem ahuhnawk, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh! tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.
5 Angraeng mah hae ih ahuhnawk khaeah, Khenah, nangcae thungah takhi kang kunsak han, to naah na hing o tih:
The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
6 Kai mah thaquinawk hoiah kang yaw o moe, angan to kang tacawtsak han, ahin hoiah kang khuk moe, na thungah takhi to ka suek han; to naah na hing tih; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
7 Thuih han ang paek ih lok baktih toengah lok to ka thuih: lok ka thuih naah, khenah, atuen to oh moe, anghuenh, ahuhnawk loe maeto pacoeng maeto nawnto amcong o.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 Ka khet naah, thaqui hoi angan to tacawt, ahuh loe ahin mah khuk khoep; toe ahuhnawk thungah takhi om ai.
I 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 Anih mah kai khaeah, Takhi khaeah lokthui ah, kami capa, takhi khaeah, Aw takhi, ahmuen palito hoiah angzo ah loe nihcae hing o thai hanah, hae hum ih kaminawk nuiah song ah, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”
10 Anih mah ang thuih ih lok baktih toengah lok to ka thuih, to naah nihcae thungah takhi to akun, nihcae loe hing o, khok hoiah angdoet o moe, pop parai misatuh kami ah angcoeng o.
So 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 To pacoengah anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, hae ahuhnawk loe Israel imthung takoh ah ni oh o: khenah, nihcae mah, kaicae ih ahuh loe roem boeh, ka oep o haih doeh anghmat boeh pongah, kang hmaat kang taa o boeh, tiah thuih o.
Then 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 completely cut off.’
12 To pongah lok to thui ah, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Aw kai ih kaminawk, nangcae ih taprong to kang paongh pae han, nangmacae ih taprong thung hoiah kang tacawt o sak moe, Israel prae thungah kang hoih o han,
Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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 Aw kai ih kaminawk, nangcae ih taprong to ka paongh moe, nangmacae ih taprong thung hoiah kang tacawt o sak naah, Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito na panoek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.
You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
14 Na hing o hanah, nangcae thungah Kai mah ih Muithla to ka suek moe, nangmacae prae thungah kang oh o sak han; to naah kai Angraeng loe thuih ih lok baktiah sak, tito na panoek o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’”
15 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let,
Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
16 kami capa, cunghet maeto to la ah loe a nuiah Judah hoi Israel ampuinawk han ih, tiah ca tarik ah, tiah ang naa. To pacoengah cunghet kalah maeto la let ah loe, a nuiah Joseph hoi Israel ampuinawk hanah, Ephraim ih cunghet, tiah tarik ah, tiah ang naa let bae.
“You, 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 To cunghet hnetto to pacong naah, na ban ah cunghet maeto ah angcoeng tih.
Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 Na caeng kaminawk mah, Hae hmuenawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw, tito nang thuih mak ai maw? tiah na naa o nahaeloe,
“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
19 nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Ephraim ban ih, Joseph ih cunghet hoi anih ih ampui Israel kaminawk to ka lak han, Judah ih cunghet hoi nawnto ka suek moe, cunghet maeto ah ka sak han, to naah nihnik loe ka ban ah maeto ah ni om hoi tih boeh, tiah thuih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.
tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 Ca na tarik ih cunghet to nihcae hmaa ah sin ah loe,
The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
21 nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai, loklam amkhraeng haih kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah Israel caanawk to ka lak han, nihcae to ahmuen kruek hoiah ka tacuu moe, angmacae prae ah ka hoih let han.
Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
22 Israel prae thung ih maenawk nuiah acaeng maeto ah ka sak han; siangpahrang maeto mah nihcae to uk boih tih; nihcae loe prae hnetto ah om o mak ai boeh, natuek naah doeh prae hnetto ah ampraek o mak ai boeh:
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 a bok o ih krangnawk, panuet thok hmuennawk, a sakpazae o ih hmuennawk hoiah amhnong o mak ai boeh; nihcae to a zae o haih ahmuen boih hoiah ka pahlong moe, ka ciimsak han; to naah nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o ueloe, kai doeh nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han boeh, tiah thuih.
They won’t 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 they will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 Ka tamna David loe nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah om tih; nihcae mah tuu toep kami maeto ni tawn o tih; ka lokcaekhaih to pazui o tih, ka paek ih kaaloknawk to pakuem o ueloe, sah o tih boeh.
“‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 Ka tamna Jakob khaeah ka paek ih, nam panawk ohhaih prae ah na om o tih; angmacae hoi a caanawk, a caanawk ih caa patoeng doeh, to ahmuen ah dungzan khoek to om o tih; ka tamna David loe nihcae dungzan ukkung ah om tih.
They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
26 Nihcae hoi angdaeh lokmaihaih to ka sak han; to lokmaihaih loe dungzan lokmaihaih ah om tih; ahmuen to nihcae han ka paek moe, kang pungsak han, ka hmuenciim to nihcae salakah zungzan khoek to ka suek han.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.
27 Kaimah ih kahni im doeh nihcae hoi nawnto om tih; ue, Kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, nihcae doeh Kai ih kami ah om o tih.
My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Nihcae salakah kai ih hmuenciim dungzan khoek to oh naah loe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Israel loe Kai, Angraeng mah ni ciimsak, tiah panoekhaih tawn o tih boeh, tiah thuih.
The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”
