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;
Naʻe ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻave au ʻi he laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe tuku hifo au ʻi he loto teleʻa naʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi hui,
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.
Pea ne puleʻi au ke u ʻalu fakatakamilo ai; pea vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe teleʻa; pea vakai naʻe mōmoa ʻaupito.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe faʻa moʻui ʻae ngaahi hui ni? Pea naʻaku pehēange, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko koe pe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi.
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.
Pea ne toe pehē kiate au, “Kikite ki he ngaahi hui ni, pea ke pehē ki ai, ʻE ngaahi hui mōmoa, fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
5 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngaahi hui ni; Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻae mānava ke hū kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui:
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.
Pea te u kofuʻaki kimoutolu ʻae uoua, pea te u fakatupu ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu, mo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kimoutolu ʻae kili, pea ʻai mo e mānava kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
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.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā mai: pea ʻi heʻeku kei lea, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuʻulu, pea vakai naʻe ngaue, pea fehokotaki ʻae ngaahi hui pea taki taha ki hono hui pe ʻoʻona,
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.
Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai ne tupu mai ki ai ʻae uoua pea mo e kakano, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kotoa pē ʻae kili: ka naʻe teʻeki ai ha mānava kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Kikite ki he matangi, kikite, foha ʻoe tangata, pea ke pehē ki he matangi, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻae mānava ē! Haʻu mei he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā, pea mānava hifo ki he kau mate na, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
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.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai, pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae mānava kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau moʻui, mo tuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻi honau vaʻe, ko e fuʻu kau tau tokolahi ʻaupito.
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.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e ngaahi hui na ko e fale kotoa ia ʻo ʻIsileli: vakai, ʻoku nau pehē, Kuo mōmoa hotau hui, pea kuo mole ʻetau ʻamanaki, pea kuo tuʻusi ke motu ʻakitautolu.
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.
Ko ia te ke kikite, pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻE hoku kakai, te u fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea te u pule ke mou toetuʻu mei homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, ʻE hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻohake ʻakimoutolu mei homou tanuʻanga,
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.
Pea ʻe ʻai hoku laumālie kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui, pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ki homou fonua ʻomoutolu: te mou toki ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova ne u lea ki ai pea kuo u fai: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
15 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
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:”
“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea ke tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siuta, mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’ pea ke toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau kehe ʻe taha, pea tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siosefa, ko e vaʻa ʻakau ʻa ʻIfalemi, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’
17 And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
Pea ke hoko fakataha ia ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha; pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo taha pe ʻi ho nima.
18 And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
Pea ka lea mai kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē na?
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.
Lea koe kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siosefa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa, pea te u ʻai ke fakataha ʻakinautolu mo ia, ʻio, ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siuta, ke hoko ʻakinaua ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha, pea te na taha pe ʻi hoku nima.
20 And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
Pea ko e ongo vaʻa ʻakau ʻaia naʻa ke tohi ki ai, ʻe ʻi ho nima ia ʻi honau ʻao.”
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;
Pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u toʻo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia kuo nau ʻalu ki ai, pea te u tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu.
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:
Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga pe taha ʻi he fonua, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e tuʻi pe tokotaha ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ua ʻa honau puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei vahe kehekehe ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga ʻe ua:
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.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ha ngaahi tamapua, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala: ka te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻaia kuo nau fai angahala ai, pea ʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu: ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻenau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua au.
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.
Pea ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita; pea ʻe ai ʻae tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: te nau ʻeveʻeva foki ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ke fai ki ai.
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.
Pea te nau nofo ʻi he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo e hako ʻo ʻenau fānau ʻo taʻengata; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata.
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.
Te u fai foki ha fuakava fakamelino mo kinautolu; ko e fuakava ia mo kinautolu ke taʻengata; pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu, mo fakatokolahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga ke lauikuonga.
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.
ʻE ʻiate kinautolu foki ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki: ʻio, te u ʻi ai ko honau ʻOtua au, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.
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.
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he hiteni, ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo kau ka tuku ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga, ke lauikuonga.”
