< 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 the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [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.
And caused me to pass by them around: and behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and lo, [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.
And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? and I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
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 upon these bones, and say to them, O ye 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 saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall 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.
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye 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 I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his 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.
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the 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 said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon 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 upon their feet, an exceeding 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, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
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, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves, and 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 ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you out of your 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 shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
15 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk bal tih,
The word of the LORD 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.
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon 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.
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy 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 when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou [meanest] 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.
Say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 A soah na kut neh na daek thing rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah om saeh.
And the sticks on which thou writest shall be in thy 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.
And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they are 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.
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they 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.
Neither shall they 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 shall they 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.
And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, 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.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.
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 shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
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 tabernacle also shall be with them: and I will be their 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 heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
