< 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.
And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human 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.
And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, 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.
And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, you know this.
4 Te phoeiah kai te he rhuhrhong taengah tonghma lamtah a rhuh koh rhoek te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun lah,’ ti nah.
And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and you shall say to them, You dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 He kah rhuhrhong taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nangmih khuila mueihla kan khuen dongah na hing ni.
Thus says the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life:
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.
and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and will spread skin upon you, and will put my Spirit into you, and you shall live; and you shall 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 [the Lord] commanded me: and it came to pass while I was prophesying, that, behold, [there was] a shaking, and the bones approached each one to his joint.
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.
And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh grew upon them, and skin came upon them above: but there was not 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.
And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead [men], and let them 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 entered into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great congregation.
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.
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.
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 say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] open your tombs, and will bring you up out of your tombs, and will bring you into the land of 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.
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, that I may bring up my people from [their] graves.
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.
And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and you shall know that I [am] the Lord; I have spoken, and will do [it], says the Lord.
15 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk bal tih,
And the word of the Lord came 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.
Son of man, take for yourself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and you shall take for yourself another rod, and you shall inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
17 Te rhoi te khat neh khat namah ham thing pakhat la cong lah. Na kut dongah pakhat la om bitni.
And you shall joint them together for yourself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be 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.
And it shall come to pass, when the children of your people shall say to you, Will you not tell us what you meanest by these things?
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.
Then shall you say to them, Thus says the Lord; behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Juda, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda.
20 A soah na kut neh na daek thing rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah om saeh.
And the rods on which you did write shall be in your hand in their presence.
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.
And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations, among whom they have gone, and I will gather them from all that are round about them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel.
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.
And I will make them a nation in my land, even on the mountains of Israel; and they shall have one prince: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided any more at all into two kingdoms:
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.
that they may no more defile themselves with their idols; and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be to me a people, and I the Lord will be to them a 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.
And my servant David [shall be] a prince in the midst of them: there shall be one shepherd of [them] all; for they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my judgments, 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.
And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their fathers lived; and they shall dwell upon it: and David my servant [shall 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.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
27 Ka dungtlungim tah amih neh om ni. Amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall 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.
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord that sanctifies them, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for ever.
