< Ezekiel 37 >

1 The Lord picked me up and carried me away by his Spirit. He set me down in the middle of a valley that was full of bones.
Tàmako amy zao ty fità’Iehovà, le nendese’e an-Tio’ Iehovà vaho navotra’e añivo’ ty vavatane lifo-taolañe,
2 He led me around them, and in all directions I saw many, many bones on the valley floor. They were really dry.
le nampañariarie’e mb’eo mb’eo am’ iereo ao, le nizoeko te maro ty ambone’ i taney vaho nivata’e maike.
3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come back to life?” “Lord God, only you know the answer,” I replied.
Le hoe re amako, O ana’ondatio, mete ho veloñe hao o taolañe reo? Le hoe ty natoiko: Ihe ry Iehovà Talè ro maharofoanañe.
4 He told me, “Prophesy to these bones and tell them, Dry bones, listen to this message from the Lord!
Le hoe re amako: Mitokia amo taolañeo, ami’ty hoe: O ry taola-maikeo, Inao ty tsara’ ­Iehovà.
5 This is what the Lord God says to these bones: I will breathe into you, and you will come back to life.
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè amo taolañe retoañe: Inao! t’ie hampizilihañe tioke vaho ho veloñe;
6 I will give you tendons and have flesh grow over you and cover you with skin. I will breathe into you so that you will come back to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
le hapetako ama’ areo ty lahin-ozatse naho handafihako nofotse, naho hasaroko holitse naho hajoko ama’ areo ao ty kofòke, le ho veloñe, vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
7 So I prophesied just as I had been ordered. When I started prophesying, suddenly I heard a rattling noise. The bones joined together, bone attached to bone.
Toe nitokiako amy nandiliañe ahiy, aa naho nitoky, inay ty feo, hehe te nikarankaràñe vaho nifamitrañe o taolañeo, taolañe ami’ty taolañe.
8 As I watched, I saw tendons and flesh grow on them, and skin covered them; but the bodies didn't breathe.
Ie nenteako, hehe te aman-dahin-ozatse, naho nipetak’ am’ iereo ty nofotse vaho nisaroña’ ty holitse f’ie mboe tsy aman-kofòke.
9 Then he told me, “Prophesy to the breath! Prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord God says: Breath, come from the four winds, and breathe into these bodies, so that they can come back to life!”
Le hoe re amako, Mitokia amy tiokey; itokio ry ana’ ondatio, vaho ano ty hoe i tiokey, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Mb’ etoa boak’ amo tioke efatseo, ry Tioke, le mikofoha amo zinamañe reo, ho veloñe.
10 So I prophesied just as he had ordered me, and the breath went into the bodies, and they came back to life and stood up, a huge army!
Aa le nitokiako amy namantoha’e ahiy, naho nizilike am’iereo ao ty tioke nahaveloñe vaho nitroatse am-pandia’e ty lian-dahin-defoñe mitozantozañe.
11 He told me, “Son of man, these bones represent all the people of Israel. Listen to what the people are saying, ‘Our bones have dried up, and our hope has been crushed. We have been wiped out!’
Le hoe re amako, O ana’ondatio, Toe o anjomba’ Israele iabio o taolañeo; Heheke, hoe iereo, fa mikàntañe o taola’aio, naho motso ty fitamà’ay, vaho vata’e naitoañe.
12 So prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: My people, I'm going to open your graves and lift you out of them, and I will take you back to the country of Israel.
Aa le itokio ami’ty hoe; Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Heheke ondatikoo, manokake o kibori’ areoo iraho vaho hakareko an-kibori’ areo ao, mb’an-tane’ Israele mb’eo,
13 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and lift you out of them, my people.
le ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, ie sokafeko o lona’ areoo, ry ondatikoo, naho aka­reko boak’an-kibori’ areo ao,
14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live again, and I will take you back to your own country. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will carry it out, declares the Lord.”
naho hakofoko ama’ areo ao ty Tioko, vaho ho veloñe, le hampitofàko an-tane’ areo eo; ie amy zay ro hahafohiñe te Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara naho nitoloñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
15 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
16 “Son of man, get one piece of wood and write on it: ‘This belongs to Judah and the Israelite tribes allied to them.’ Then get another piece of wood and write on it: ‘This belongs to Joseph. This is Ephraim's piece of wood, and to the Israelite tribes allied to them.’
Ihe ry ana’ ondatio, mandrambesa kobaiñe vaho isokiro ty hoe: Ho a Iehodà, naho o ana’ Israele rañe’eo; le mandrambesa kobaiñe tovo’e, le isokiro ty hoe: Ho a Iosefe, ty kobai’ i Efraime naho i hene anjomba’ Israele mpiama’ey:
17 Then join the two pieces of wood into one, so that you hold them as one in your hand.
le avitraño, ty raik’ amy raikey soa te ho raike; vaho ho raik’ am-pità’o ao.
18 When your people come and ask you, ‘Are you going to explain what this is all about?’
Aa ie mi­saontsy ama’o o ana’ ondatikoo, hanao ty hoe: Tsy hatoro’o anay hao ty lengo’e?
19 tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to take Joseph's piece of wood, which Ephraim is holding, along with the Israelite tribes allied with them, and I'll join them with Judah's piece of wood. I will make them into a single piece of wood, and they will be as one in my hand.
Le ty hoe ty ho asa’o am’ iereo: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Oniño te ho rambeseko ty kobai’ Iosefe boak’ am-pità’ i Efraime rekets’ o fifokoa’ Israele rañe’eo naho hatraoko ama’e naho haharoko amy kobai’ Iehodà ho kobaiñe raike, vaho ho raik’ an-tañako ao.
20 When you're holding the pieces of wood you've written on, and while everyone is watching,
Aa le ho am-pità’o ao añatrefam-pihaino’ iareo eo i kobaiñe hisokira’o rey,
21 tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to bring the Israelites back from the nations where they've gone. I will gather them from everywhere and take them back to their own country.
le hanoa’o ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Ingo ho rambeseko amo kilakila’ndatio o ana’ Israeleo, amy nomba’ iareo añey, le hatontoko boak’ etia naho eroa vaho hampoliko mb’an-tane’ iareo ao.
22 I will make them one nation in the country, living in the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule them all. They won't be two nations any longer; never again will they be divided into two kingdoms.
le hanoeko fifeheañe raike iereo am-bohibohi’ Israeleo ao; naho mpanjaka raike ty ho mpanjaka’ iareo iaby; le lia’e tsy ho fifelehañe roe ka iereo vaho tsy ho zaraeñe ho fifeheañe roe ka.
23 They won't make themselves unclean anymore with their idols or disgusting images, or with any of their rebellious sins. I will save them from all their sins when they abandoned me, and I will make them clean. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Tsy haniva-vatañe amo samposampo’eo naho amo raha veta’ iareoo naho amo fiolà’ iareo iabio ka iereo fa ho rombaheko amo kibohotse iaby nandilara’ iareoo naho ho lioveko ho ondatiko vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho.
24 My servant David will be their king. They will be united under one ruler. They will follow my laws, and they will observe and practice my regulations.
Ho mpanjaka hifehe iareo t’i Davide mpitoroko, le ho raik’ avao ty mpiara’ iareo; hañaveloa’ iareo o lilikoo naho hañambeñe vaho hitana o fañèkoo.
25 They will live in the country I gave to my servant Jacob where your forefathers lived. They will live there with their children and grandchildren forever, and my servant David will be their prince forever.
Himoneña’ iareo i tane natoloko am’ Iakobe mpitorokoy, i nimoneñan-droae’ areoy; toe himoneñe ao iereo rekets’ o ana’eo naho o anan’ana’eo nainai’e kitro añ’afe’e, le ho mpifehe’ iareo nainai’e t’i Davide mpitoroko.
26 I will make an agreement of peace with them. This will be an everlasting agreement. I will make them secure and increase their numbers, and I will keep my sanctuary there with them forever.
Mbore hanoako fañinam-panintsiñañe, ho fañina tsy modo; hajadoko iereo naho hampidobodoeko vaho haoreko ho nainai’e añivo’ iareo ao i toeko miavakey.
27 My Tabernacle will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Ho am’ iereo ao i kivohokoy, le Izaho ty ho Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho h’ondatiko iereo.
28 The nations will acknowledge that I am the Lord who blesses Israel, when my sanctuary is with them forever.”
Le ho fohi’ o kilakila’ ndatio te Izaho Iehovà ty mampiavake Israele ie añivo’ iereo ao nainai’e i toeko miavakey.
