Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the Lord was vpon me, and caryed me out in ye spirit of ye Lord, and set me downe in ye mids of the field, which was full of bones.
Yehowa ƒe asi va dzinye, eye Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ kplɔm do goe, eye wòdam ɖe balime aɖe ƒe titina; balime la yɔ fũu kple ƒuwo.
2 And he led me round about by them, and beholde, they were very many in the open fielde, and lo, they were very drie.
Ekplɔm tso afii yi afi mɛ le wo dome, eye mekpɔ ƒu geɖewo le balime la ƒe anyigba. Ƒuawo ƒu kplakplakpla.
3 And he sayde vnto me, Sonne of man, can these bones liue? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
Ebiam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo ate ŋu anɔ agbea?” Megblɔ be, “O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wò ɖeka koe nya.”
4 Againe he sayde vnto me, Prophecie vpon these bones and say vnto them, O ye dry bones, heare the word of the Lord.
Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ƒu siawo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ƒu ƒuƒuwo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya.
5 Thus saith the Lord God vnto these bones, Behold, I wil cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall liue.
Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na ƒu siawoe nye, mana gbɔgbɔ nage ɖe mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe.
6 And I will lay sinewes vpon you, and make flesh growe vpon you, and couer you with skinne, and put breath in you, that ye may liue, and yee shall know that I am the Lord.
Made lãmeka mia me, lã naɖo mia ŋu, eye mafa ayi ɖe mia ŋu. Made yagbɔgbɔ mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
7 So I prophecied, as I was commanded: and as I prophecied, there was a noyse, and beholde, there was a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene. Esi menɔ nya la gblɔm ɖi la, hoowɔwɔ sesẽ aɖe ɖi, eye ƒuawo ƒo ƒu hetɔ ɖe wo nɔewo nu.
8 And when I beheld, loe, the sinewes, and the flesh grewe vpon them, and aboue, the skinne couered them, but there was no breath in them.
Meda ŋku ɖi, eye mekpɔ lãmekawo kple lã ɖo ƒuawo ŋu eye ayi fa ɖe wo ŋu, gake gbɔgbɔ mege ɖe wo me o.
9 Then sayd he vnto me, Prophecie vnto the winde: prophecie, sonne of man, and say to the winde, Thus sayth the Lord God, Come from the foure windes, O breath, and breathe vpon these slayne, that they may liue.
Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ya, gblɔ nya ɖi, Ame vi, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Va, o, gbɔgbɔ, va tso ya eneawo me, eye nàgbɔ ɖe ame siwo wowu la me be woagbɔ agbe.’”
10 So I prophecied as hee had commanded me: and the breath came into them, and they liued, and stood vp vpon their feete, an exceeding great armie.
Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene, eye gbɔgbɔ ge ɖe wo me. Wogbɔ agbe, eye wotsi tsitre; aʋakɔ gã aɖee.
11 Then he sayd vnto me, Sonne of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is gone, and we are cleane cut off.
Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo nye Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la. Wobe, ‘Míaƒe ƒuwo ƒu kplakplakpla; míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ bu; woɖe mí ɖa.’
12 Therefore prophecie, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, my people, I will open your graues, and cause you to come vp out of your sepulchres, and bring you into the lande of Israel,
Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: O, nye amewo, mele miaƒe yɔdowo ʋu ge, eye maɖe mi tso wo me: magbugbɔ mi ava Israelnyigba dzi.
13 And yee shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I haue opened your graues, O my people, and brought you vp out of your sepulchres,
Ekema mi, nye amewo, mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne meʋu miaƒe yɔdowo, eye meɖe mi do goe tso wo me.
14 And shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall liue, and I shall place you in your owne land: then yee shall knowe that I the Lord haue spoken it, and performed it, sayth the Lord.
Made nye Gbɔgbɔ mia me, mianɔ agbe, eye mana mianɔ miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe anyigba dzi. Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowa, meƒo nu, eye mewɔe hã; Yehowae gblɔe.’”
15 The word of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam,
16 Moreouer thou sonne of man, take thee a piece of wood, and write vpon it, Vnto Iudah, and to the children of Israel his companions the take another piece of wood, and write vpon it, Vnto Ioseph the tree of Ephraim, and to al the house of Israel his companions.
“Ame vi, tsɔ ati aɖe, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Enye Yuda kple Israelvi siwo dea ha kplii la tɔ.’ Emegbe la, nàtsɔ ati bubu, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Efraim ƒe ati, enye Yosef kple Israel ƒe aƒe siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ.’
17 And thou shalt ioyne the one to another into one tree, and they shalbe as one in thine hand.
Tɔ wo ɖe wo nɔewo nu ale be woazu ɖeka le wò asi me.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speake vnto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shewe vs what thou meanest by these?
“Ne mia detɔwo bia wò be, ‘magblɔ nu si nèfia to esia me na mí oa?’ la,
19 Thou shalt answere them, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Behold, I wil take the tree of Ioseph, which is in the hande of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellowes, and will put them with him, euen with the tree of Iudah, and make them one tree, and they shalbe one in mine hand.
nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsɔ Yosef ƒe ati, ati si le Efraim ƒe asi me la kple Israel ƒe to siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ, eye matɔe ɖe Yuda ƒe ati nu, eye woazu ɖeka le nye asi me.’
20 And the pieces of wood, whereon thou writest, shalbe in thine hand, in their sight.
Lé ati siwo dzi nèŋlɔ nu ɖo la ɖe woƒe ŋkume,
21 And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and wil gather them on euery side, and bring them into their owne land.
eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Maɖe Israelviwo ɖa tso dukɔ siwo me woyi la me. Maƒo wo nu ƒu tso teƒeawo katã, eye makplɔ wo ava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
22 And I will make them one people in the lande, vpon the mountaines of Israel, and one king shalbe king to them all: and they shalbe no more two peoples, neither bee deuided any more henceforth into two kingdomes.
Mawɔ wo dukɔ ɖekae le anyigba la dzi, le Israel ƒe towo dzi. Fia ɖeka aɖu wo katã dzi, womaganye dukɔ eve akpɔ o loo alo woama wo ɖe fiaɖuƒe eve me o.
23 Neither shall they bee polluted any more with their idoles, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will saue them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they haue sinned, and will clense them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Womagagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo kple woƒe legbawo alo ametikpakpɛ nyɔŋuwo alo kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dometɔ aɖeke o, elabena maɖe wo tso woƒe megbededewo katã me, eye makɔ wo ŋu. Woanye nye amewo, eye manye woƒe Mawu.
24 And Dauid my seruant shalbe king ouer them, and they all shall haue one shepheard: they shall also walke in my iudgements, and obserue my statutes, and doe them.
“‘Nye dɔla, David anye woƒe fia, eye kplɔla ɖeka anɔ wo si. Woazɔ ɖe nye seawo nu, eye woalé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi.
25 And they shall dwell in the lande, that I haue giuen vnto Iaakob my seruant, where your fathers haue dwelt, and they shall dwel therein, euen they, and their sonnes, and their sonnes sonnes for euer, and my seruant Dauid shall bee their prince for euer.
Woanɔ anyigba si metsɔ na nye dɔla Yakob, anyigba si dzi mia fofowo nɔ la dzi. Woawo kple wo viwo kple wo viwo ƒe viwo anɔ afi ma tegbetegbe, eye David, nye dɔla, anye woƒe fiaviŋutsu tegbetegbe.
26 Moreouer, I will make a couenant of peace with them: it shall be an euerlasting couenant with them, and I wil place them, and multiply them, and wil set my Sanctuarie among them for euermore.
Mawɔ ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla kpli wo, wòanye nubabla mavɔ. Maɖo wo gɔme anyi, madzi woƒe xexlẽme ɖe edzi, eye mali ke nye kɔkɔeƒe la ɖe wo dome tegbetegbe.
27 My tabernacle also shalbe with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.
Nye nɔƒe anɔ wo dome; manye woƒe Mawu, eye woanye nye amewo.
28 Thus the heathen shall knowe, that I the Lord do sanctifie Israel, when my Sanctuarie shall be among them for euermore.
Ekema dukɔwo anya be, nye Aƒetɔ lae wɔ Israel kɔkɔe le esime nye Kɔkɔeƒe la le wo dome tegbetegbe.’”
