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 hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of Yahweh and set me down in the midst of a valley; 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.
Then he made me pass through them round and round. Behold! A great many of them were in the valley. 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 again?” So I said, “Lord Yahweh, you alone know.”
4 Te phoeiah kai te he rhuhrhong taengah tonghma lamtah a rhuh koh rhoek te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun lah,’ ti nah.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones. Listen to the word of Yahweh.
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 Yahweh says this to these bones: Behold! I am about to put breath 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 place sinews over you and bring flesh onto you. I will cover you with skin and put breath within you so you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
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, behold, a sound came, that of shaking. Then the bones drew together—bone against 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 looked and, behold, sinews were now on them, and flesh grew up and skin covered them. But there was still 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 Yahweh said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Breath, come from the four winds, and breathe on these who have been killed, so 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 I was commanded; the breath came into them and they lived. Then they stood on their feet, a very 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 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the entire house of Israel. Behold! They are saying, 'Our bones have dried up, and our hope is gone. We have been 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 say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will open your graves and lift you out from them, my people. I will bring you back to 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.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when I open your graves and bring you out from them, 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 place my Spirit within you so you will live, and I will cause you to rest in your land when you know that I am Yahweh. I declare and will do it—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
15 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk bal tih,
Then the word of Yahweh 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.
“So now you, son of man, take one stick for yourself and write on it, 'For Judah and for the people of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim, and for all the people of Israel, their companions.'
17 Te rhoi te khat neh khat namah ham thing pakhat la cong lah. Na kut dongah pakhat la om bitni.
Bring both of them together into one stick, so that they 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 your people speak to you and say, 'Will you not tell us what these things of yours mean?'
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 say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am taking the branch of Joseph that is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions and joining it to the branch of Judah, so that they will make one branch, and they will become one in my hand.'
20 A soah na kut neh na daek thing rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah om saeh.
Hold in your hand the branches that you wrote on 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.
Declare to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am about to take the people of Israel from among the nations where they went. I will gather them from the surrounding lands and I will bring them to their 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, and there will be one king as king over all of them, and they will no longer be two nations. They will no longer be divided 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.
Then they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, their disgusting things, or any of their other sins. For I will save them from all of their faithless actions with which they have sinned, and I will purify 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.
David my servant will be king over them. So there will be one shepherd over them all, and they will walk according to my decrees and they will keep my statutes and obey 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 live in the land that I have given to my servant Jacob, where your fathers had stayed. They will live in it forever—they, their children, and their grandchildren, for David my servant will be their chief 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.
I will establish a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish them and multiply them and set my holy place in their midst forever.
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 dwelling place 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.
Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh who sets Israel apart, when my holy place is among them forever.'”
