Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' nan yon fon ki te plen zosman.
2 He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.
Li fè m' pwonmennen nan tout fon an, nan mitan zosman yo. Mwen wè te gen anpil anpil zosman atè nan fon an. Zosman yo te fin chèch nèt.
3 Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske zosman sa yo ka tounen vivan ankò? Mwen reponn: -Seyè sèl Mèt la, se ou ki konnen!
4 And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: -Bay mesaj sa a pou zosman yo. W'a di zosman ki fin chèch yo pou yo koute pawòl Seyè a.
5 This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
Wi, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral fè yon van soufle sou nou pou nou ka tounen vivan ankò.
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
M'ap mete venn sou nou, m'ap fè vyann pouse sou nou, m'ap kouvri nou ak po. M'ap mete souf nan nou, m'ap fè nou viv ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Mwen bay mesaj Bondye a jan li te ban m' lòd la. Antan m'ap pale konsa, mwen tande yon gwo bri, zosman yo pran deplase jouk yo jwenn plas yo yonn bò kote lòt.
8 As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
Mwen gade, mwen wè zosman yo te gen venn sou yo. Vyann t'ap pouse sou yo. Lèfini po kouvri yo tout. Men pa t' gen souf nan yo.
9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a, pale ak van an. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Vini non! Soti nan kat bòn direksyon yo. Soufle sou tout mò sa yo, fè yo tounen vivan ankò.
10 So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
Se konsa, mwen bay mesaj la, jan li te ban m' lòd la. Souf la antre nan kadav yo, yo vin vivan ankò, yo kanpe sou de pye yo. Te gen anpil anpil moun, kont pou fè yon gwo lame.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
Bondye di mwen: -Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tankou zosman sa yo. Y'ap di: Nou fin deperi, nou pa gen espwa ankò. Nou fini nèt.
12 Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
Se poutèt sa, ba yo mesaj sa a. Di yo konsa: Men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral louvri tonm yo. Mwen pral fè yo soti ladan yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.
13 Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
Wi, m'a louvri tonm kote pèp mwen an te antere a, m'a fè yo soti nan tonm yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
M'ap mete souf mwen nan yo, m'ap fè yo tounen vivan ankò. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa m' te di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l' vre. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
16 “And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
-Nonm o! Pran yon moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jida ak moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo. Lèfini, pran yon lòt moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jozèf osinon Efrayim ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo.
17 Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
Pran de moso bwa yo, kole yo bout pou bout, kenbe yo yon jan pou yo parèt tankou si se yon sèl bout bwa ou gen nan men ou.
18 When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’
Lè moun pèp ou yo va mande ou: Manyè di nou sa sa vle di.
19 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
W'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Mwen pral pran bout bwa ki kanpe pou Jozèf osinon Efrayim ansanm ak branch fanmi Izrayèl k'ap mache ak li yo, m'ap mete l' ansanm ak bout bwa Jida a. M'ap fè yo fè yon sèl bout bwa. Epi, m'ap kenbe yo nan men mwen.
20 When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
Kenbe de bout bwa yo nan men ou pou tout pèp la ka wè yo.
21 you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
Lèfini, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral mache chache dènye moun pèp mwen an nan mitan tout nasyon kote yo te ale a. M'ap sanble yo soti toupatou, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a.
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
M'ap fè yo tounen yon sèl pèp nan peyi a ankò, sou mòn Izrayèl yo. Yo pral gen yon sèl wa pou gouvènen yo. Yo p'ap fè de peyi ankò. Yo p'ap fè de gouvènman ankò.
23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
Yo pa pral avili tèt yo ankò nan fè sèvis pou zidòl, nan fè bagay derespektan devan Bondye, nan fè sa yo pa t' gen dwa fè. M'ap delivre yo anba tout zidòl ki te fè yo vire do ban mwen an, ki te fè yo fè peche a. M'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka sèvi m' ankò. Y'ap tounen yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'ap Bondye yo.
24 My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
Yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, va chèf yo. Yo tout pral fè yonn anba yon sèl gadò. Y'a mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo, y'a fè tou sa mwen mande yo fè, y'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
25 They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
Y'ap rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan, peyi kote zansèt yo te viv la. Yo pral viv la pou tout tan, yo menm, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo pou tout tan. Se yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, ki pral gouvènen yo pou tout tan gen tan.
26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo k'ap garanti yo lavi ak kè poze pou tout tan. M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, m'ap fè yo peple. M'ap fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo.
27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Se la m'ap viv avèk yo. Se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Yo menm, se pèp ki rele m' pa m' lan y'ap ye.
28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”
Wi, m'a fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, lòt nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka viv apa pou mwen.
