Ezekiel 37
1 There came over me the inspiration of the Lord, and he carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones;
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' nan yon fon ki te plen zosman.
2 And he caused me to pass by them all round about; and, behold, there were very many of them on the surface of the valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
Li fè m' pwonmennen nan tout fon an, nan mitan zosman yo. Mwen wè te gen anpil anpil zosman atè nan fon an. Zosman yo te fin chèch nèt.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske zosman sa yo ka tounen vivan ankò? Mwen reponn: -Seyè sèl Mèt la, se ou ki konnen!
4 And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord.
Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: -Bay mesaj sa a pou zosman yo. W'a di zosman ki fin chèch yo pou yo koute pawòl Seyè a.
5 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
Wi, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral fè yon van soufle sou nou pou nou ka tounen vivan ankò.
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and bring up flesh upon you, and draw over you a skin, and put a spirit in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall experience that I am the Lord.
M'ap mete venn sou nou, m'ap fè vyann pouse sou nou, m'ap kouvri nou ak po. M'ap mete souf nan nou, m'ap fè nou viv ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 And so I prophesied as I had been commanded: and there was a sound, as I prophesied, and behold there was a rustling noise, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
Mwen bay mesaj Bondye a jan li te ban m' lòd la. Antan m'ap pale konsa, mwen tande yon gwo bri, zosman yo pran deplase jouk yo jwenn plas yo yonn bò kote lòt.
8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh came up, and the skin was drawn over them above; but no spirit was in them.
Mwen gade, mwen wè zosman yo te gen venn sou yo. Vyann t'ap pouse sou yo. Lèfini po kouvri yo tout. Men pa t' gen souf nan yo.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain ones, that they may live.
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a, pale ak van an. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Vini non! Soti nan kat bòn direksyon yo. Soufle sou tout mò sa yo, fè yo tounen vivan ankò.
10 And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and there came into them the spirit, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Se konsa, mwen bay mesaj la, jan li te ban m' lòd la. Souf la antre nan kadav yo, yo vin vivan ankò, yo kanpe sou de pye yo. Te gen anpil anpil moun, kont pou fè yon gwo lame.
11 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope; we are quite cut off.
Bondye di mwen: -Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tankou zosman sa yo. Y'ap di: Nou fin deperi, nou pa gen espwa ankò. Nou fini nèt.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will open your graves, and I will cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Se poutèt sa, ba yo mesaj sa a. Di yo konsa: Men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral louvri tonm yo. Mwen pral fè yo soti ladan yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and when I cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
Wi, m'a louvri tonm kote pèp mwen an te antere a, m'a fè yo soti nan tonm yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall acknowledge that I the Lord have spoken it, and done it, saith the Lord.
M'ap mete souf mwen nan yo, m'ap fè yo tounen vivan ankò. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa m' te di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l' vre. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
15 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
16 But thou, son of man, take unto thyself one stick of wood, 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:”
-Nonm o! Pran yon moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jida ak moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo. Lèfini, pran yon lòt moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jozèf osinon Efrayim ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo.
17 And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
Pran de moso bwa yo, kole yo bout pou bout, kenbe yo yon jan pou yo parèt tankou si se yon sèl bout bwa ou gen nan men ou.
18 And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
Lè moun pèp ou yo va mande ou: Manyè di nou sa sa vle di.
19 [Then] speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, —which is in the hand of Ephraim, —and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will lay them upon him, even the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
W'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Mwen pral pran bout bwa ki kanpe pou Jozèf osinon Efrayim ansanm ak branch fanmi Izrayèl k'ap mache ak li yo, m'ap mete l' ansanm ak bout bwa Jida a. M'ap fè yo fè yon sèl bout bwa. Epi, m'ap kenbe yo nan men mwen.
20 And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
Kenbe de bout bwa yo nan men ou pou tout pèp la ka wè yo.
21 And speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and I will gather them from every side, and bring them unto their own land;
Lèfini, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral mache chache dènye moun pèp mwen an nan mitan tout nasyon kote yo te ale a. M'ap sanble yo soti toupatou, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a.
22 And I will make them into one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be to them all for king; and they shall not be any more two nations, nor shall they at any time be divided into two kingdoms any more:
M'ap fè yo tounen yon sèl pèp nan peyi a ankò, sou mòn Izrayèl yo. Yo pral gen yon sèl wa pou gouvènen yo. Yo p'ap fè de peyi ankò. Yo p'ap fè de gouvènman ankò.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, and with their detestable things, and with all their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and I will cleanse them, and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be to them for a God.
Yo pa pral avili tèt yo ankò nan fè sèvis pou zidòl, nan fè bagay derespektan devan Bondye, nan fè sa yo pa t' gen dwa fè. M'ap delivre yo anba tout zidòl ki te fè yo vire do ban mwen an, ki te fè yo fè peche a. M'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka sèvi m' ankò. Y'ap tounen yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'ap Bondye yo.
24 And my servant David shall be king over them; and one shepherd shall be for them all: and in my ordinances shall they walk, and my statutes shall they observe, and do them.
Yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, va chèf yo. Yo tout pral fè yonn anba yon sèl gadò. Y'a mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo, y'a fè tou sa mwen mande yo fè, y'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto my servant, unto Jacob, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be prince unto them for ever.
Y'ap rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan, peyi kote zansèt yo te viv la. Yo pral viv la pou tout tan, yo menm, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo pou tout tan. Se yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, ki pral gouvènen yo pou tout tan gen tan.
26 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, an everlasting covenant shall it be with them: and I will multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo k'ap garanti yo lavi ak kè poze pou tout tan. M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, m'ap fè yo peple. M'ap fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo.
27 My dwelling also shall be with them, and I will be unto them for a God; and they shall be unto me as a people.
Se la m'ap viv avèk yo. Se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Yo menm, se pèp ki rele m' pa m' lan y'ap ye.
28 And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary will be in the midst of them for evermore.
Wi, m'a fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, lòt nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka viv apa pou mwen.
