Ezekiel 37
1 BAWIPA e kut teh kaie lathueng ao teh. BAWIPA e Muitha lahoi alawilah na tâcokhai teh, tanghling lungui hrunaw dueng hoi kingkawi e koe kai hah na hruek.
One day Yahweh gave me another vision. In the vision I felt the power [MTY] of God on me, and by his Spirit he took me to the middle of a valley. It was full of bones [of people who had been killed].
2 Ahnimouh koe na ceikhai, hote tanghling dawk moikapap e hrunaw hah ao teh, ahnimouh teh khik a ke awh.
He led me to walk back and forth among those bones. I saw that there were very many bones there, bones that were very dry.
3 BAWIPA ni kai koevah, tami capa hete hrunaw a hring thai han na maw, telah ati, Kai ni hettelah ka dei pouh, Oe! Bawipa Jehovah nang ni na panue, telah ka ti.
He asked me, “You human, [do you think that] these bones can become living [people again]?” I replied, “Yahweh my Lord, only you know [if that can happen].”
4 BAWIPA ni hai hete hrunaw lathueng vah lawk dei haw, ahnimouh koe Oe! hrukenaw BAWIPA e lawk hah thai awh haw.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
5 Hete hrukenaw koevah Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! nangmouh dawk kâha ka pakhum vaiteh, na hring awh han.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you bones: I will put my breath into each of you, and you will become alive again.
6 Nang mamouh dawk tharui ka hruek han, takthai hoi ka pacawp awh vaiteh, vuen hoi ka ramuk awh han, nangmae thung vah kâha ka pakhum vaiteh, na hring awh han. Kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie na panue awh han telah a ti.
I will fasten tendons to your bones, and cause your bones to be covered with flesh. I will cover the flesh with skin. Then I will breathe into you, and you will become alive. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
7 Hottelah kâ ka poe e patetlah ka pâpho teh, thaihaw! ka pâpho lahun nah, dongdengca dawk hrunaw hah amamouh a onae hmuen tangkuem dawk a kâpatawp awh.
So I spoke to the bones what Yahweh commanded me to speak. As I was speaking, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bones joining to each other.
8 Ka khet navah, khenhaw! ahnimouh dawk tharui ao teh, takthai ni a pacawp teh, vuen ni a ramuk, hateiteh, hring awh hoeh rah.
While I was looking, I saw tendons fastening to them and flesh covering them, and then skin covered the flesh, but they did not breathe.
9 BAWIPA ni kai koevah, kahlî koe lawk dei haw, tami capa kahlî koe pâpho e roeroe haw, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati. Oe! kahlî talai takin pali touh koe hoi tho awh haw, kadoutkaronaw a hring thai awh nahanelah, ahnimouh lathueng pakhum haw telah a ti.
Then he said to me, “You human, prophesy to the wind. Say to the wind, ‘Wind [APO], Yahweh says to you, blow from all four directions. Breathe into these people who have been killed, in order that they can become alive again!’”
10 Hottelah kâ ka poe e patetlah ka dei teh kahlî teh ahnimouh thung a kâen teh a hring awh, amamae khok hoi lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, ransahupui lah a coung awh.
So I said what he commanded me to say, and then breath entered them. They became alive and stood up, like a huge army.
11 BAWIPA ni kai koevah, tami capa ahnimouh ni hrunaw heh Isarel imthungnaw doeh, ahnimouh ni kaimae hrunaw be a ke teh, ka ngaihawinae hai be ka kahma tangngak awh toe telah a dei katang awh.
Then he said to me, “You human, these bones represent all the Israeli people [MTY]. The people say, ‘[It is as though] our bones are dried up; there are no more good things that we can (hope for/confidently expect to happen to us); our nation is destroyed/finished.’
12 Hatdawkvah, lawk hah pâpho nateh, ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! nangmae tangkomnaw ka paawng han, Oe! ka taminaw na tangkomnaw dawk hoi na rasa awh vaiteh, Isarel ram dawk na kâenkhai awh han.
So prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: My people, [it will be as though] I will open your graves and cause your corpses to become alive again. I will bring you back to Israel.
13 Nangmae tangkomnaw ka paawng teh na tangkomnaw dawk hoi na rasa awh toteh, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie na panue awh han.
Then, what that happens, you my people will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
14 Hahoi nangmae na thung ka muitha ka pakhum han, hring awh vaiteh, namamae na ram dawk roeroe na hruek awh han, kai BAWIPA ni yo ka dei toung dawkvah, hot hah ka sak tie na panue awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei telah a ti.
I will put my Spirit in you, and [it will be as though] you will become alive again, and I will enable you to live in your own land again. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who said [that it would happen] and who has caused it to happen. That is what I, Yahweh, declare.’”
15 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
16 nang tami capa sonron buet touh lat haw, a van vah Judah hoi Isarel miphunnaw telah thun haw, sonron alouke hai lat nateh Joseph, Ephraim, Isarel imthungnaw telah thun haw.
“You human, take a piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Judah and all the tribes of Judah.’ Then take another piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel.’
17 Hote sonron kahni touh e hah buet touh lah pacawng nateh, hahoi na kut dawk buet touh lah ao han.
Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
18 Na taminaw ni hete hno heh bangmaw a dei ngainae, kai koe dei kawi hoeh namaw telah a pacei navah,
When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
19 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Joseph e sonron Ephraim hoi Isarel miphun kut dawk kaawm e hah ka la han, Hothateh, Judah e sonron hoi ka pacawng vaiteh, buet touh lah ao han toe, ati, telah na ti pouh han.
tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: One of the pieces of wood in my hand represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel. I am joining it to the piece of wood that represents Judah, to form one piece of wood in his hand.’
20 A van vah na thut e sonron hah ahnimae a mithmu vah na kut dawk ao han.
Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
21 Hahoi ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah hettelah a dei, khenhaw! miphunnaw a onae hmuen koehoi, ka hrawi vaiteh, hmuen tangkuem koehoi ka pâkhueng vaiteh, amamae ram dawk ka kâenkhai han.
Say to the people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I will take you Israeli people out of the countries to which you have been forced to go. I will gather you from all those nations and bring you back to your own land.
22 Hahoi Isarel mon dawk miphun buet touh lah ka sak han, uknaeram kahni touh lah awm mahoeh toe.
And I will cause you to again be one nation in that land, on the mountains in Israel. And there will be one king to rule over all of you. Never again will you be two nations or divided into two kingdoms.
23 Ahnimae meikaphawknaw hoi panuettho e hno hoi, kâtapoenae dawkvah, kâkhinsak awh mahoeh toe. A rawpnae ouk a yonae pueng thung hoi ka rungngang vaiteh, ka thoung sak han, hat torei teh, ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, ahnimae Cathut lah ka o han.
No longer will you (defile yourselves/make yourselves unacceptable to me) by [worshiping] idols and disgusting statues [of your gods], because I will enable you to quit your sinful behavior and to stop rejecting me. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
24 Kaie thaw katawkkung Devit hah ahnimae lathueng siangpahrang lah ao han. Ahnimouh pueng e a lathueng dawk tukhoumkung buet touh ao han, kaie kâpoe e hah tarawi awh vaiteh, kaie phunglam hah a pâkuem awh vaiteh a hringkhai awh han.
[Someone who will be like] [MET] [King] David who served [me well] will be the king [of your descendants], and [it will be as though] [MET] he will be their shepherd. They will carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
25 Kaie thaw katawkkung Jakop koevah, ka poe e ram na mintoenaw kho ouk a sak boi dawkvah, kho a sak awh han, amamouh hoi a canaw a catounnaw hai kho pou a sak awh han, hahoi ka thaw katawkkung Devit hah ahnimae a lathueng bawi lah ao han.
They will live in the land that I gave to Jacob, who also served [me well]; they will live in the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren will live there forever, and [the one who will be like] [MET] [King] David will be their king forever.
26 Hothloilah, ahnimouh koe roumnae lawkkamnae ka sak han, ahnimouh hanelah a yungyoe lawkkamnae lah ao vaiteh, ahnimouh koe ka poe han. Ahnimanaw teh a pungdaw awh vaiteh, ahnimouh koe a yungyoe totouh, kaie hmuen kathoung hah ka kangdue sak han.
I will make a peace agreement with them; it will be an agreement that will endure forever. I will again give them that land and cause their population to increase. And I will put my temple among them forever.
27 Kaie lukkareiim hai ahnimouh koe ao vaiteh, ahnimae Cathut lah ka o vaiteh, ahnimouh hai kaie taminaw lah ao awh han.
The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
28 Hottelah hmuen kathoung teh ahnimouh koe a yungyoe a cak toteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni Isarel miphun hah a thoung sak toe telah Jentel miphunnaw ni a panue awh han telah a ti.
Then, when my temple is forever there among them, the people of other nations will know that I, Yahweh, have caused the Israeli people to be set apart [to belong to me].’”
