Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,
I pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau, a kawea ana ahau, ara e to Ihowa wairua, tukua iho ana ahau e ia ki waenganui o te raorao; na kapi tonu a reira i te wheua.
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.
Na ka whakahaereerea ahau e ia ki te taha o aua wheua a taka noa, taka noa; na, he tini ke i runga i te mata o te raorao; nana, he maroke rawa aua mea.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e ora ranei enei wheua? Ano ra ko ahau, E mohio ana koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Poropiti ki enei whenua, mea atu ki a ratou, E nga wheua maroke nei, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki enei wheua, Nana, ka meinga e ahau he manawa kia tomo ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou.
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] the LORD.
A ka hoatu e ahau he uaua ki runga ki a koutou, ka whakaputaina ake he kikokiko ki a koutou, ka hipokina koutou ki te kiri, ka hoatu ano e ahau he manawa ki roto ki a koutou, na ka ora koutou; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
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.
Heoi poropititia ana e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau; a, i ahau e poropiti ana, na he haruru, na he ru, a whakatata ana nga wheua, tona wheua ki tona wheua.
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.
A ka titiro atu ahau, nana, he uaua i runga i a ratou, kua puta ake he kikokiko, a he kiri e hipoki ana i waho ake i a ratou: otiia kahore he manawa i roto i a ratou.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Poropiti ki te hau, poropiti, e te tama a te tangata, mea atu hoki ki te hau, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Haere mai i nga hau e wha, e te manawa, e ha ki runga ki tenei hunga kua oti nei te patu, kia ora ai rat ou.
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.
Heoi ka poropititia e ahau te mea i whakahaua e ia ki ahau; na ko te taenga mai o te manawa ki roto ki a ratou, kua ora, tu ana i runga i o ratou waewae, he ope tino nui.
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.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko enei wheua ko te whare katoa o Iharaira: nana, kei te ki ake ratou, Kua maroke o tatou wheua, kua ngaro ta tatou i tumanako ai; kua motuhia ketia tatou.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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.
Mo reira poropiti, ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, e taku iwi, ka huakina ake e ahau o koutou urupa, ka meinga kia puta ake hoki koutou i o koutou urupa, ka kawea ki te oneone o Iharaira.
13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina huakina e ahau o koutou urupa, e taku iwi, a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia puta ake i o koutou urupa.
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 the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
A ka hoatu e ahau toku wairua ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou, a ka whakanohoia koutou e ahau ki to koutou ake oneone: ko reira koutou mohio ai, naku, na Ihowa, i korero, a naku ano i mahi, e ai ta Ihowa.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
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:
Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina tetahi rakau mau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hura, mo ona hoa ano, mo nga tama a Iharaira: na tikina atu ano tetahi rakau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hohepa, ko te rakau o Eparaima, mo ona hoa hoki, mo te w hare katoa o Iharaira.
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
Na me hono raua, tetahi ki tetahi; a hei rakau kotahi raua i roto i tou ringa.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these?
Na ki te korero nga tamariki a tou iwi ki a koe, ki te mea, E kore ianei e whakaaturia e koe ki a matou he aha te tikanga o enei mea au?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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.
Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ka mau ahau ki te rakau o Hohepa, ki tera i te ringa o Eparaima, ki ona hoa ano, ki nga iwi o Iharaira; a ka whakatakotoria ratou e ahau ki tera, ara ki te rakau o Hura, ka meinga ho ki raua hei rakau kotahi, a ka kotahi tonu raua i roto i toku ringa.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Na, ko nga rakau e tuhituhi ai koe ki runga, hei roto i tou ringa i to ratou aroaro.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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:
A ka mea atu koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka tangohia e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i nga iwi i haere atu nei ratou, ka kohikohia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ka kawea ki to ratou oneone.
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:
Ka meinga hoki ratou e ahau hei iwi kotahi ki te whenua, ki nga maunga o Iharaira; a kotahi tonu he kingi hei kingi mo ratou katoa; kore ake o ratou iwi e rua i muri nei, heoi rawa o ratou wehenga kia rua kingitanga.
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.
Kore ake ano o ratou poke i a ratou whakapakoko, i a ratou mea whakarihariha, i o ratou kino katoa: engari ka whakaorangia ratou e ahau i o ratou nohoanga katoa, i nga wahi i hara ai ratou, ka purea: ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku, ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou.
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.
Ko taku pononga hoki, ko Rawiri hei kingi mo ratou; a kotahi tonu te hepara mo ratou katoa: ka haere hoki ratou i runga i aku ritenga, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, ka mahi.
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.
A ka noho ratou i te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki te wahi i noho ai o koutou matua; ka noho ano ratou ki reira, ratou, a ratou tama, me nga tama ano a a ratou tama a ake ake: a ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri hei rangatira m o ratou a ake ake.
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.
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau te kawenata mo te rongo mau ki a ratou; hei kawenata mau tonu tena ki a ratou; ka whakanohoia ano ratou e ahau, ka whakanuia, ka whakaturia ano e ahau toku wahi tapu ki waenganui i a ratou a ake ake.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Na ki a ratou toku tapenakara: a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou ano hei iwi maku.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
A ka mohio nga tauiwi ko ahau a Ihowa e whakatapu nei i a Iharaira, i te mea kei waenganui nei toku wahi tapu i a ratou a ake ake.
