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;
Omukono gwa Mukama gwali ku nze, Mwoyo wa Mukama n’anfulumya, n’andeeta wakati mu kiwonvu ekyali kijjudde amagumba.
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.
N’agannaambuza, ne ndaba amagumba mangi, amakalu ennyo wansi mu kiwonvu.
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.
N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, amagumba gano gayinza okuba amalamu?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wekka gw’omanyi.”
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.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wa obunnabbi ku magumba gano, oyogere nti, ‘Mmwe amagumba amakalu, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama!
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;
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri amagumba gano nti, Laba ndibateekamu omukka ne mufuuka abalamu.
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.
Ndibateekako ebinywa n’ennyama ne mbabikkako n’olususu; ndibateekamu omukka, ne mufuuka abalamu. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
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.
Awo ne njogera nga bwe nalagirwa. Awo bwe nnali nga njogera, ne waba eddoboozi, ng’ebintu ebikubagana, amagumba ne geegatta, buli limu ku linnaalyo.
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.
Ne ntunula, ebinywa n’ennyama ne birabika ku go, n’olususu ne luddako, naye temwali mukka.
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.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wa obunnabbi eri omukka; yogera omwana w’omuntu, ogambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ggwe omukka vva eri empewo ennya, oyingire mu battibwa, babe balamu.’”
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.
Ne mpa obunnabbi nga bwe yandagira, omukka ne gubayingiramu ne balamuka, ne bayimirira, era ne baba eggye ddene nnyo.
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.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, amagumba gano ye nnyumba yonna eya Isirayiri. Boogera nti, ‘Amagumba gaffe gaakala era n’essuubi lyaffe lyaggwaawo, twasalibwako.’
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.
Kyonoova owa obunnabbi gye bali n’oyogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mmwe abantu bange, ndyasamya amalaalo gammwe ne mbazuukiza, era ndibakomyawo mu nsi ya Isirayiri.
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.
Kale mulimanya nga nze Mukama, era nga nammwe muli bantu bange, bwe ndyasamya amalaalo gammwe ne mbazuukiza.
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.
Ndibateekamu Omwoyo wange era muliba balamu; ndibateeka mu nsi yammwe mmwe ne mutuula omwo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama nkyogedde, era nkikoze, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
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:
“Omwana w’omuntu ddira omuggo owandiikeko nti, ‘Guno gwa Yuda n’Abayisirayiri abakolagana nabo.’ Oddire n’omuggo omulala owandiikeko nti, ‘Guno muggo gwa Efulayimu owa Yusufu n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna, bwe bakolagana.’
17 Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
Bagatte bafuuke omuggo gumu, bafuuke omuntu omu mu mukono gwo.
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?
“Awo abantu bo bwe bakubuuzanga nti, ‘Amakulu ga bino kye ki?’
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.
Obategeezanga nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Ndiddira omuggo gwa Yusufu oguli mu mukono gwa Efulayimu, n’ebika bya Isirayiri n’abo bwe bakolagana, ne mbigatta ku muggo gwa Yuda, bafuuke omuntu omu mu mukono gwange.’
20 And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
Balage emiggo gy’owandiiseeko,
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:
obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndiggya Abayisirayiri mu mawanga gye baagenda. Ndibakuŋŋaanya okuva wonna, ne mbakomyawo mu nsi yaabwe.
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:
Ndibafuula eggwanga limu mu nsi, ku nsozi za Isirayiri. Balifugibwa kabaka omu, tebaliddayo kubeera mawanga abiri, wadde okwawulibwa mu bwakabaka obubiri.
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.
Tebaliddayo kweyonoonyesa ne bakatonda abalala, ebintu ebikole obukozi n’emikono eby’ekivve, wadde okweyonoonyesa mu bibi byabwe. Ndibawonya okuva mu bifo byonna gye beeyonoonyesa, ndibafuula abalongoofu, muliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda wammwe.
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.
“‘Omuweereza wange Dawudi alibeera kabaka waabwe, era bonna baliba n’omusumba omu. Baligoberera amateeka gange, babeere beegendereza okukwata ebiragiro byange.
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.
Balibeera mu nsi gye nawa omuweereza wange Yakobo, ensi bajjajjammwe mwe baabeeranga. Bo n’abaana baabwe, balibeera omwo ennaku zonna, era Dawudi omuweereza wange alibeera mulangira waabwe emirembe gyonna.
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.
Ndikola endagaano yange ebawa emirembe, eriba ndagaano ey’olubeerera. Ndibanyweza ne mbaaza, era nditeeka ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
27 And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
Ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kinaabeeranga mu bo. Nnaabeeranga Katonda waabwe nabo banaabeeranga bantu bange.
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.
Amawanga galimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda, nze ntukuza Isirayiri; ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kiri mu bo emirembe gyonna.’”
