Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of Yhwh was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of Yhwh, and set me down in the midst of the valley which 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 caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
N’agannaambuza, ne ndaba amagumba mangi, amakalu ennyo wansi mu kiwonvu.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Yhwh, thou knowest.
N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, amagumba gano gayinza okuba amalamu?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wekka gw’omanyi.”
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Yhwh.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wa obunnabbi ku magumba gano, oyogere nti, ‘Mmwe amagumba amakalu, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama!
5 Thus saith the Lord Yhwh unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri amagumba gano nti, Laba ndibateekamu omukka ne mufuuka abalamu.
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Yhwh.
Ndibateekako ebinywa n’ennyama ne mbabikkako n’olususu; ndibateekamu omukka, ne mufuuka abalamu. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his 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 when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
Ne ntunula, ebinywa n’ennyama ne birabika ku go, n’olususu ne luddako, naye temwali mukka.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
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 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding 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 unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
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 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring 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 ye shall know that I am Yhwh, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
Kale mulimanya nga nze Mukama, era nga nammwe muli bantu bange, bwe ndyasamya amalaalo gammwe ne mbazuukiza.
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I Yhwh have spoken it, and performed it, saith Yhwh.
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 The word of Yhwh came again unto me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
“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 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
Bagatte bafuuke omuggo gumu, bafuuke omuntu omu mu mukono gwo.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
“Awo abantu bo bwe bakubuuzanga nti, ‘Amakulu ga bino kye ki?’
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine 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 whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Balage emiggo gy’owandiiseeko,
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own 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 upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Ndibafuula eggwanga limu mu nsi, ku nsozi za Isirayiri. Balifugibwa kabaka omu, tebaliddayo kubeera mawanga abiri, wadde okwawulibwa mu bwakabaka obubiri.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their 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 David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, 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 shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince 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 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Ndikola endagaano yange ebawa emirembe, eriba ndagaano ey’olubeerera. Ndibanyweza ne mbaaza, era nditeeka ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kinaabeeranga mu bo. Nnaabeeranga Katonda waabwe nabo banaabeeranga bantu bange.
28 And the heathen shall know that I Yhwh do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Amawanga galimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda, nze ntukuza Isirayiri; ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kiri mu bo emirembe gyonna.’”
