Ezekiel 37
1 BOEIPA kut te kai soah om. Te vaengah BOEIPA Mueihla loh kai n'khuen tih kolbawn khui la kai n'khueh hatah a rhuhrhong bae muep.
The LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in the LORD’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2 Kai te te lakli lamloh a kaep a kaep ah n'thak. Te vaengah kolbawn hman kah te bahoeng yet tih koh aih coeng he.
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 Te vaengah kai te, 'Hlang capa he kah a rhuh he hing aya?' a ti. Tedae, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah, namah loh na ming,” ka ti nah.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”
4 Te phoeiah kai te he rhuhrhong taengah tonghma lamtah a rhuh koh rhoek te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun lah,’ ti nah.
Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.
5 He kah rhuhrhong taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh nangmih khuila mueihla kan khuen dongah na hing ni.
The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
6 Nangmih soah tharhui kang khueh vetih nangmih soah pumsa ka soe sak ni. Nangmih soah na vin ka saibawn sak vetih na khuiah mueihla kam paek ni. Te daengah ni na hing uh vetih kai he BOEIPA la nan ming uh eh,” a ti.
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 the LORD.”’”
7 Te dongah n'uen bangla ka tonghma tih ka tonghma vanbangla ol om. Te vaengah hinghuennah tarha om. Te vaengah rhuh rhoek khaw, a rhuh te a rhuh taengla cet uh.
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 Te vaengah ka sawt hatah a soah tharhui neh a saa tarha soe. Te so ah te a vin loh a saibawn thil dae a khuiah mueihla om pawh.
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 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Mueihla te tonghma thil, hlang capa aw tonghma lamtah, yilh te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Hmuen pali lamkah yilh aw ha pawk laeh. Mueihla te he a khuila a ueng daengah ni a. ngawn rhoek he a hing eh?,” a ti.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”
10 Kai n'uen bangla ka tonghma tangloeng vaengah amih khuila mueihla kun. Te vaengah hing uh tih amamih kho dongah bahoeng, bahoeng tatthai tanglue la pai uh.
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 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, hekah rhuh he Israel imkhui pum coeng ni. Amih loh, 'Kaimih rhuh he rhae tih kaimih kah ngaiuepnah paltham coeng, mamih he n'tuiphih coeng,’ a ti uh lah ko te.
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 Te dongah tonghma lamtah amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh na phuel te ka ong tih ka pilnam namah kah phuel lamloh nangmih kan doek ni. Te vaengah nangmih te Israel khohmuen la kam pawk puei ni.
Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD 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 Eretz-Israel.
13 Te vaengah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming uh bitni. Na phuel te ka ong tih ka pilnam nangmih te na phuel lamloh nangmih kan doek ni.
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
14 Nangmih ah ka Mueihla kam paek vetih na hing uh ni. Nangmih te na khohmuen ah kang khueh vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui tih BOEIPA kah olphong ka vai te na ming uh bitni,” a ti.
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, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
15 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk bal tih,
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
16 “Nang hlang capa aw namah ham thing pakhat lo lamtah a soah Judah ham neh Israel ca rhoek kah a hui, a hui ham daek pah. Thing pakhat te lo bal lamtah a soah Ephraim thing Joseph ham neh Israel imkhui boeih kah a hui a hui ham daek pah.
“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 Te rhoi te khat neh khat namah ham thing pakhat la cong lah. Na kut dongah pakhat la om bitni.
Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 Te van bangla nang taengah na pilnam paca loh m'voek tih, 'Kaimih taengah na thui mahpawt nim? Na taengkah rhoek te balae? a ti uh ni.
“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
19 Amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh Ephraim kut kah Joseph thing neh Israel koca a hui a hui te ka loh coeng ne. Te rhoi te Judah thing neh ka khueh vetih thing pakhat la ka saii ni. Ka kut dongah pakhat la om ni.
tell them, ‘The Lord GOD 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 A soah na kut neh na daek thing rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah om saeh.
The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
21 Te dongah amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Israel ca rhoek te a pongpa nah namtom lakli lamloh ka loh coeng ne. Amih te a kaepvai lamloh ka coi vetih amih te amamih khohmuen la ka pawk puei ni.
Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from amongst the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
22 Amih te Israel tlang kah khohmuen ah namtu pakhat la ka khueh ni. Manghai pakhat te amih boeih soah manghai la om ni. Namtu te panit la koep om rhoe om mahpawh. Ram te panit la koep koep boel uh mahpawh.
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 mueirhol neh, a sarhingkoi neh, a boekoek boeih neh koep poeih uh mahpawh. Amih te a tolrhum cungkuem lamloh ka khang ni. Te nen te tholh uh cakhaw amih te ka caihcil ni. Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih taegnah Pathen la ka om ni.
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 sal David tah amih soah manghai tih amih boeih aka dawn te pakhat ni a. om eh. Te vaengah ka laitloeknah dongah pongpa uh vetih ka khosing te ngaithuen neh a saii uh ni.
“‘“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 sal Jakob taengah ka paek khohmuen ah kho a sak uh ni. Te ah te ni na pa rhoek loh kho a sak uh. A khuiah amih neh a ca rhoek khaw, a ca rhoek kah ca rhoek khaw kumhal duela kho a sak ni. Ka sal David amih kah kumhal khoboei la om ni.
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 Amih neh rhoepnah paipi ka saii vetih amih taengah kumhal kah paipi la om ni. Amih te ka khueh tih ka ping sak phoeiah ka rhokso te kumhal due amih lakli ah ka khueh ni.
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 amongst them forever more.
27 Ka dungtlungim tah amih neh om ni. Amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Te vaengah namtom loh kai he BOEIPA la a ming uh ni. Israel te ka ciim phoeiah tah ka rhokso he amih lakli ah ni kumhal due a om eh?,” a ti.
The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is amongst them forever more.”’”
