Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
Aka nke Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m, o sitekwara nʼike Mmụọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bulie m, debe m nʼetiti ndagwurugwu nke jupụtara nʼọkpụkpụ.
2 And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
O mere ka m jegharịa nʼetiti ha. Ahụrụ m ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, nke dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, ka ha ghasa na ndagwurugwu ahụ.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a ha pụrụ ịdị ndị ọzọ?” Asịrị m, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ naanị gị onwe gị maara.”
4 And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, gwa ha, ‘Unu ọkpụkpụ niile kpọrọ nkụ, geenụ ntị nʼokwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
5 This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa ọkpụkpụ ndị a. Lee, aga m eme ka ume baa nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ.
6 And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Aga m etinyekwasị unu akwara, na anụ ahụ, werekwa akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchie unu. Aga m etinye ume nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
7 So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka e sị nye m nʼiwu. Mgbe m nọ na-ebu amụma ahụ, anụrụ m ụzụ, ụzụ mkpọtụ. Ma lee, ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ niile bịara ibe ha nso; ọkpụkpụ malitekwara ijikọta onwe ha ọnụ.
8 And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
Mgbe m nọkwa na-ele anya, lee, ahụrụ m ka akwara na anụ ahụ malitere ịbịakwasị nʼelu ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchikwara elu ha. Ma nʼoge a ume ọbụla adịghị nʼime ha.
9 And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ifufe; buo amụma, nwa nke mmadụ, sị ifufe, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: site nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa bịa, gị ume na-enye ndụ, kukwasị ndị a e gburu egbu ka ha dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.’”
10 And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka o si nye m nʼiwu. Ume ndụ banyekwara nʼime ha. Ha niile dịịrị ndụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ ha, ghọọ usuu ndị agha dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a nọchiri anya ụlọ Izrel niile. Ha na-asị, ‘Anyị aghọọla ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, olileanya niile agwụkwala, anyị abụrụla ndị e bipụrụ.’
12 For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
Nʼihi ya, buo amụma gwa ha, ‘otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ndị m, aga m emeghe ili unu, si nʼebe ahụ wepụta unu. Aga m eme ka unu lọghachitakwa nʼala Izrel.
13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe m meghere ili unu mee ka unu si nʼime ya pụta, unu bụ ndị m ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
14 And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
Aga m etinye Mmụọ m nʼime unu, unu ga-adị ndụ, lọghachikwa nʼala unu ọzọ. Unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ekwuola ya, meekwa ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
16 And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
“Nwa nke mmadụ, were osisi dee ihe ndị a nʼelu ya, ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Juda na ndị Izrel e kekọtara ya na ha ọnụ.’ Werekwa osisi ọzọ deekwa okwu ndị a nʼelu ya. ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Ifrem, na Josef, na ndị Izrel niile e jikọtara ha na ndị a ọnụ.’
17 Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
Jidekọtaa osisi abụọ ndị a ọnụ, mee ka ha bụrụ otu osisi nʼaka gị.
18 And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
“Mgbe ndị gị jụrụ gị, ‘Ị gaghị egosi anyị ihe nke a pụtara?’
19 Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
gwa ha, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Lee, agaje m iwere osisi Josef, nke dị Ifrem nʼaka, nke bụkwa ihe nọchiri anya ebo ụfọdụ ndị Izrel, jidekọtaa ya na osisi nọchiri anya Juda, mee ha ka ha ghọọ otu osisi, bụrụkwa otu nʼaka m.’
20 And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
Were mkpirisi osisi ndị ahụ i dere ihe nke dị nʼaka gị, gosi ha,
21 And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
ma gwakwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m esite na mba niile ndị Izrel jere biri kpọpụta ha. Aga m achịkọtakwa ha site nʼakụkụ niile, kpọbata ha nʼala nke aka ha.
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
Aga m eme ha ka ha bụrụ otu mba nʼala ahụ, nʼugwu niile nke Izrel. Ha ga-enwe naanị otu eze nke ga-achị ha niile. Ha agaghị abụkwa mba abụọ maọbụ alaeze abụọ ọzọ.
23 And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
Ha agaghị ejikwa arụsị ha niile, maọbụ ihe a pịrị apị rụrụ arụ, maọbụ jiri ihe ọjọọ ndị ọzọ dị iche iche merụọ onwe ha ọzọ. Nʼihi na aga m azọpụta ha site na ịlaghachi azụ nʼụzọ mmehie ha niile, meekwa ka ha dị ọcha. Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
24 And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
“‘Ohu m, Devid, ga-abụ eze ga-achị ha, ha ga-enwekwa otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ. Ha ga-edebezu iwu m niile, na ụkpụrụ m niile.
25 And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
Ha ga-ebi nʼala ahụ m nyere ohu m Jekọb, ala ebe nna nna ha biri. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-ebi nʼime ya. Ụmụ ụmụ ha ruo ọgbọ niile ga-ebikwa nʼime ya. Ohu m Devid ga-abụ eze ha ruo ebighị ebi.
26 And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
Mụ na ha ga-agba ndụ udo, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Aga m agọzi ha, mee ka ha baa ụba. Nʼetiti ha kwa ka ụlọnsọ m ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
27 And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
Ebe obibi m ga-abụkwa nʼetiti ha. E, aga m abụ Chineke ha, ha ga-abụkwa ndị m.
28 And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
Mgbe ụlọnsọ m ga-adị nʼetiti ha ruo ebighị ebi, mba niile ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-edo Izrel nsọ.’”
