Jezekiel 37
1 And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human bones.
Naʻe ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻave au ʻi he laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe tuku hifo au ʻi he loto teleʻa naʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi hui,
2 And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, very dry.
Pea ne puleʻi au ke u ʻalu fakatakamilo ai; pea vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe teleʻa; pea vakai naʻe mōmoa ʻaupito.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, thou knowest this.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe faʻa moʻui ʻae ngaahi hui ni? Pea naʻaku pehēange, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko koe pe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi.
4 And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and thou shalt say to them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
Pea ne toe pehē kiate au, “Kikite ki he ngaahi hui ni, pea ke pehē ki ai, ʻE ngaahi hui mōmoa, fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
5 Thus saith the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life:
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngaahi hui ni; Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻae mānava ke hū kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui:
6 and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and will spread skin upon you, and will put my Spirit into you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Pea te u kofuʻaki kimoutolu ʻae uoua, pea te u fakatupu ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu, mo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kimoutolu ʻae kili, pea ʻai mo e mānava kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
7 So I prophesied as [the Lord] commanded me: and it came to pass while I was prophesying, that, behold, [there was] a shaking, and the bones approached each one to his joint.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā mai: pea ʻi heʻeku kei lea, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuʻulu, pea vakai naʻe ngaue, pea fehokotaki ʻae ngaahi hui pea taki taha ki hono hui pe ʻoʻona,
8 And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh grew upon them, and skin came upon them above: but there was not breath in them.
Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai ne tupu mai ki ai ʻae uoua pea mo e kakano, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kotoa pē ʻae kili: ka naʻe teʻeki ai ha mānava kiate kinautolu.
9 And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead [men], and let them live.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Kikite ki he matangi, kikite, foha ʻoe tangata, pea ke pehē ki he matangi, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻae mānava ē! Haʻu mei he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā, pea mānava hifo ki he kau mate na, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath entered into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great congregation.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai, pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae mānava kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau moʻui, mo tuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻi honau vaʻe, ko e fuʻu kau tau tokolahi ʻaupito.
11 And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e ngaahi hui na ko e fale kotoa ia ʻo ʻIsileli: vakai, ʻoku nau pehē, Kuo mōmoa hotau hui, pea kuo mole ʻetau ʻamanaki, pea kuo tuʻusi ke motu ʻakitautolu.
12 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] open your tombs, and will bring you up out of your tombs, and will bring you into the land of Israel.
Ko ia te ke kikite, pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻE hoku kakai, te u fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea te u pule ke mou toetuʻu mei homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, that I may bring up my people from [their] graves.
Pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, ʻE hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻohake ʻakimoutolu mei homou tanuʻanga,
14 And I will put my Spirit within you, and ye shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord; I have spoken, and will do [it], saith the Lord.
Pea ʻe ʻai hoku laumālie kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui, pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ki homou fonua ʻomoutolu: te mou toki ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova ne u lea ki ai pea kuo u fai: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
16 Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea ke tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siuta, mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’ pea ke toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau kehe ʻe taha, pea tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siosefa, ko e vaʻa ʻakau ʻa ʻIfalemi, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’
17 And thou shalt joint them together for thyself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be in thine hand.
Pea ke hoko fakataha ia ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha; pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo taha pe ʻi ho nima.
18 And it shall come to pass, when the children of thy people shall say to thee, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these things?
Pea ka lea mai kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē na?
19 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the Lord; behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Juda, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda.
Lea koe kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siosefa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa, pea te u ʻai ke fakataha ʻakinautolu mo ia, ʻio, ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siuta, ke hoko ʻakinaua ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha, pea te na taha pe ʻi hoku nima.
20 And the rods on which thou didst write shall be in thine hand in their presence.
Pea ko e ongo vaʻa ʻakau ʻaia naʻa ke tohi ki ai, ʻe ʻi ho nima ia ʻi honau ʻao.”
21 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I [will] take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations, among whom they have gone, and I will gather them from all that are round about them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel.
Pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u toʻo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia kuo nau ʻalu ki ai, pea te u tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu.
22 And I will make them a nation in my land, even on the mountains of Israel; and they shall have one prince: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided any more at all into two kingdoms:
Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga pe taha ʻi he fonua, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e tuʻi pe tokotaha ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ua ʻa honau puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei vahe kehekehe ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga ʻe ua:
23 that they may no more defile themselves with their idols; and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be to me a people, and I the Lord will be to them a God.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ha ngaahi tamapua, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala: ka te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻaia kuo nau fai angahala ai, pea ʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu: ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻenau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua au.
24 And my servant David [shall be] a prince in the midst of them: there shall be one shepherd of [them] all; for they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my judgments, and do them.
Pea ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita; pea ʻe ai ʻae tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: te nau ʻeveʻeva foki ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ke fai ki ai.
25 And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell upon it: and David my servant [shall be their] prince forever.
Pea te nau nofo ʻi he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo e hako ʻo ʻenau fānau ʻo taʻengata; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata.
26 And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
Te u fai foki ha fuakava fakamelino mo kinautolu; ko e fuakava ia mo kinautolu ke taʻengata; pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu, mo fakatokolahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga ke lauikuonga.
27 And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be my people.
ʻE ʻiate kinautolu foki ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki: ʻio, te u ʻi ai ko honau ʻOtua au, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.
28 And the nations shall know that I am the Lord that sanctifies them, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for ever.
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he hiteni, ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo kau ka tuku ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga, ke lauikuonga.”
