< 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.
Na rĩrĩ, guoko kwa Jehova nĩ kwagĩire igũrũ rĩakwa, ngĩoywo nĩ Roho wa Jehova akĩndwara handũ gĩtuamba-inĩ gatagatĩ; nakĩo kĩaiyũrĩte mahĩndĩ.
2 And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, very dry.
Nake akĩndongoria akĩnjeeria kũu maarĩ, na ngĩona mahĩndĩ maingĩ mũno maaraganĩte kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩu, na mahĩndĩ macio maarĩ momũ mũno.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, you know this.
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, mahĩndĩ maya-rĩ, no macooke muoyo?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, wee nowe wiki ũũĩ.”
4 And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and you shall say to them, You dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rathĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mahĩndĩ maya momũ, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova!
5 Thus says the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life:
Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũũ: Nĩngũtũma mũgĩe na mĩhũmũ, na inyuĩ nĩmũgũcooka muoyo.
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 you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Nĩngũmwĩkĩra mĩkiha, na ndũme mũgĩe na nyama na ndĩmũhumbĩre na gĩkonde; nĩngũmwĩkĩra mĩhũmũ, na nĩmũgũcooka muoyo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩratha ũhoro o ta ũrĩa ndaathĩtwo. Na rĩrĩa ndaarathaga, hakĩgĩa na inegene, mũgambo wa gũkaragacana, namo mahĩndĩ macio magĩcookanĩrĩra, o ihĩndĩ rĩgĩcookerera ihĩndĩ rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire.
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.
Na niĩ ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona maagĩa mĩkiha na nyama, nakĩo gĩkonde gĩkĩmahumbĩra, no matiarĩ na mĩhũmũ.
9 And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead [men], and let them live.
Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rathĩra mĩhũmũ ũhoro; mũrũ wa mũndũ, mĩrathĩre ũhoro ũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ũkai inyuĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo muumĩte mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, na mwĩkĩre mĩhũmũ thĩinĩ wa aya moragĩtwo, nĩguo macooke muoyo.’”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩratha ũhoro o ta ũrĩa aanjathĩte, nayo mĩhũmũ ĩkĩmatoonya; nao makĩgĩa muoyo, makĩĩrũgamia na magũrũ mao, nao magĩkorwo marĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita.
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.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, mahĩndĩ maya nĩmo andũ a nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mahĩndĩ maitũ nĩmomũ, naguo mwĩhoko witũ nĩmũthiru; na ithuĩ nĩtũeheretio.’
12 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, marathĩre ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Inyuĩ andũ akwa, nĩngũhingũra mbĩrĩra cianyu ndĩmwambatie muume kũu; nĩngũmũcookia bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli.
13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, that I may bring up my people from [their] graves.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaahingũra mbĩrĩra cianyu ndĩmwambatie muume kuo, inyuĩ andũ aya akwa.
14 And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and you shall know that I [am] the Lord; I have spoken, and will do [it], says the Lord.
Nĩngamwĩkĩra Roho wakwa, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatũũra muoyo, na nĩngamũtwara bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ wanyu kĩũmbe mũgatũũre kuo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na nĩ niĩ njĩkĩte ũguo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
16 Son of man, take for yourself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and you shall take for yourself another rod, and you shall inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, oya gathanju ka mũtĩ wandĩke igũrũ rĩako atĩrĩ, ‘Gaka nĩ ka Juda na andũ a Isiraeli arĩa makuruhanĩte nake.’ Ningĩ woe gathanju kangĩ ka mũtĩ wandĩke igũrũ rĩako atĩrĩ, ‘Gathanju ka Efiraimu, karĩa ka Jusufu na andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli arĩa makuruhanĩte nake.’
17 And you shall joint them together for yourself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be in your hand.
Tũnyiitithanie tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe nĩguo tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe guoko-inĩ gwaku.
18 And it shall come to pass, when the children of your people shall say to you, Will you not tell us what you meanest by these things?
“Rĩrĩa andũ anyu magaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ũtangĩtwĩra gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ maya ũreka?’
19 Then shall you say to them, Thus says 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.
ũkaamacookeria, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnguoya gathanju kau ka Jusufu na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli ĩyo ĩkuruhanĩte nake, o kau karĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Efiraimu, ndĩkoohanie hamwe na gathanju ka Juda, tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe, natuo tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe guoko-inĩ gwakwa.’
20 And the rods on which you did write shall be in your hand in their presence.
Nyiita tũthanju tũu wandĩkĩte maitho-inĩ mao,
21 And you shall say to them, Thus says 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.
ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngaruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa maathiĩte. Nĩngamacookanĩrĩria ndĩmarute kũrĩa guothe marĩ, na ndĩmacookie bũrũri wao kĩũmbe.
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:
Nĩngamatua rũrĩrĩ rũmwe marĩ kũu bũrũri ũcio, o kũu irĩma-igũrũ cia Isiraeli. Gũkaagĩa mũthamaki ũmwe igũrũ rĩao othe, na matigacooka rĩngĩ gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ igĩrĩ, kana magayũkanio matuĩke mothamaki meerĩ.
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.
Matigethaahia rĩngĩ na mĩhianano yao, kana mĩhiano mĩũru, kana waganu wao o wothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩngamahonokia matige gũcooka na thuutha nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao, na nĩngamatheria. Magaatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
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.
“‘Daudi ndungata yakwa nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki wao, nao othe magĩe na mũrĩithi ũmwe. Nĩmakarũmĩrĩra mawatho makwa na mamenyerere watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
25 And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their fathers lived; and they shall dwell upon it: and David my servant [shall be their] prince forever.
Magaatũũra bũrũri ũcio ndaaheire ndungata yakwa Jakubu, bũrũri ũrĩa maithe manyu maatũũraga. O ene, hamwe na ciana ciao, o na ciana cia ciana ciao, magaatũũra kuo nginya tene, nake Daudi ndungata yakwa atuĩke mũnene wao nginya tene.
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.
Nĩngarĩĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ nao; nakĩo gĩgaatuĩka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene. Nĩngamahaanda na ndũme maingĩhe, na nĩngahaanda handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nginya tene.
27 And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be my people.
Ningĩ gĩikaro gĩakwa gĩgaatũũra hamwe nao; nĩngatuĩka Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ nduuaga andũ a Isiraeli atheru, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre hagaatũũra hamwe nao nginya tene.’”
