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.
Men SENYÈ a te sou mwen, Li te mennen mwen sòti pa Lespri SENYÈ a, e te depoze m nan mitan vale a. Konsa, vale a te plen ak zo.
2 And he led me round about them every way: and, behold, [there were] very many on the face of the plain, very dry.
Li te fè m pase toutotou nan yo, e gade byen, te gen anpil sou sifas vale a. Epi gade byen, yo te byen sèch.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, you know this.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske zo sila yo kapab viv?” Konsa, mwen te reponn: “O Senyè BONDYE! Ou menm ki konnen.”
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.
Ankò li te di mwen: “Pwofetize sou zo sila yo pou di yo: ‘O zo sèch yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
5 Thus says the Lord to these bones; Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life:
Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a zo sila yo: “Gade byen, Mwen va fè souf lavi antre nan nou pou nou kapab vin vivan.
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.
Mwen va mete venn sou nou, kite chè vin grandi sou nou ankò, e mete souf nan nou pou nou ka vin vivan. Epi nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
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.
Konsa, mwen te pwofetize jan mwen te kòmande a. Epi pandan mwen t ap pwofetize a, te gen yon bri e, gade byen, yon son tankou yon bagay k ap souke. Konsa, zo yo te vin rive ansanm, zo ak zo parèy yo.
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.
Mwen te gade e vwala, venn te vin sou yo, chè te vin grandi, e po yo te vin kouvri. Men pa t gen souf nan yo.
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.
Epi li te di mwen: “Pwofetize a souf lavi a! Pwofetize, fis a lòm, e di a souf lavi a: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYÈ a: “Vin sòti nan kat van yo, O souf lavi, e soufle sou sila ke yo te touye yo, pou yo ka vin vivan.”’”
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.
Konsa, mwen te pwofetize jan Li te kòmande mwen an. Souf lavi a te antre nan yo. Yo te vin vivan e te kanpe sou pye yo, yon lame gran depase.
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.
Konsa li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, zo sila yo se tout lakay Israël. Gade byen, yo di: ‘Zo nou yo vin sèch e espwa nou fin peri. Nou fin koupe retire nèt.’
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.
Pou sa, pwofetize e di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va ouvri tonm nou yo pou fè nou monte sòti nan tonm nou yo, pèp Mwen an; epi Mwen va mennen nou antre nan peyi Israël.
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.
Nan lè sa a, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M fin ouvri tonm nou yo e fè nou monte sòti nan tonm nou yo, pèp Mwen an.
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.
Mwen va mete Lespri M anndan nou, nou va vin vivan e Mwen va mete nou sou pwòp teren pa nou. Nan lè sa a, nou va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, te fin pale, e te fè sa,” deklare SENYÈ a.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen ankò. Li te di:
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.
“Ou menm, fis a lòm, pran pou kont ou yon mòso bwa e ekri sou li: ‘Pou Juda e pou fis a Israël parèy li yo’. Epi pran yon lòt mòso bwa e ekri sou li: ‘Pou Joseph, bwa Éphraïm nan, ak tout lakay Israël parèy li yo.’
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.
Konsa, pou kont ou, fè yo vin jwenn youn ak lòt pou vin fè yon sèl bwa, pou yo ka vin youn nan men ou.”
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?
“Lè fis a pèp ou yo mande ou e di: ‘Èske ou p ap deklare a nou menm sa ou vle di ak sa yo?’
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.
Di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pran bwa Joseph la, ki nan men Éphraïm nan, ak tribi Israël parèy li yo, epi Mwen va mete yo avèk li, avèk bwa a Juda a. Konsa, yo va fè yon sèl bwa. Yo va vin youn nan men M.
20 And the rods on which you did write shall be in your hand in their presence.
Bwa sou sila ou ekri yo, va nan men ou devan zye yo.”’
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.
Pale ak yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pran fis Israël yo soti nan nasyon kote yo te ale yo. Epi Mwen va rasanble yo soti tout kote pou mennen yo antre nan pwòp peyi pa yo.
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:
Konsa, Mwen va fè yo vin yon nasyon nan peyi a, sou mòn Israël yo, epi yon wa va wa pou yo tout. Konsa, yo p ap fè de nasyon ankò e yo p ap divize an de wayòm ankò.
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.
Yo p ap souye tèt yo ak zidòl yo ankò, ni ak bagay abominab yo, ni ak okenn nan transgresyon yo. Konsa, Mwen va delivre yo de tout abitasyon kote yo te fè peche yo e Mwen va netwaye yo. Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo.”
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.
“‘“Sèvitè Mwen an, David va wa sou yo e yo tout va gen yon sèl bèje. Yo va mache nan règleman Mwen yo, e yo va kenbe lalwa M yo, e yo va swiv yo.
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.
Yo va viv sou tè ke M te bay a Jacob la, sèvitè Mwen an, nan sila papa zansèt nou yo te rete a. Yo va viv sou li, yo menm, fis yo ak fis a fis yo, jis pou tout tan, epi David, sèvitè Mwen an, va prens yo jis pou tout tan.
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.
Mwen va fè yon akò lapè avèk yo. Li va yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk yo. Mwen va etabli yo, fè yo vin miltipliye e Mwen va mete sanktyè Mwen nan mitan yo jis pou tout tan.
27 And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be my people.
Anplis, abitasyon Mwen an va avèk yo, epi Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
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.
Konsa, nasyon yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ ki sanktifye Israël la, lè sanktyè Mwen an nan mitan yo jis pou tout tan.”’”
