Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Omukono gwa Mukama gwali ku nze, Mwoyo wa Mukama n’anfulumya, n’andeeta wakati mu kiwonvu ekyali kijjudde amagumba.
2 And he led me walk all around among them. And look, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and look, they were very dry.
N’agannaambuza, ne ndaba amagumba mangi, amakalu ennyo wansi mu kiwonvu.
3 And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "LORD, you know."
N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, amagumba gano gayinza okuba amalamu?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wekka gw’omanyi.”
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.'
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wa obunnabbi ku magumba gano, oyogere nti, ‘Mmwe amagumba amakalu, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama!
5 Thus says the LORD to these bones: 'Look, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri amagumba gano nti, Laba ndibateekamu omukka ne mufuuka abalamu.
6 And I will put tendons on you, and make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"
Ndibateekako ebinywa n’ennyama ne mbabikkako n’olususu; ndibateekamu omukka, ne mufuuka abalamu. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a sound, and look, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Awo ne njogera nga bwe nalagirwa. Awo bwe nnali nga njogera, ne waba eddoboozi, ng’ebintu ebikubagana, amagumba ne geegatta, buli limu ku linnaalyo.
8 And I watched, and look, there were tendons on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. But there was no breath in them.
Ne ntunula, ebinywa n’ennyama ne birabika ku go, n’olususu ne luddako, naye temwali mukka.
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath, 'Thus says the LORD: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these corpses, that they may live.'"
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Wa obunnabbi eri omukka; yogera omwana w’omuntu, ogambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ggwe omukka vva eri empewo ennya, oyingire mu battibwa, babe balamu.’”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Ne mpa obunnabbi nga bwe yandagira, omukka ne gubayingiramu ne balamuka, ne bayimirira, era ne baba eggye ddene nnyo.
11 Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are completely cut off.'
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, amagumba gano ye nnyumba yonna eya Isirayiri. Boogera nti, ‘Amagumba gaffe gaakala era n’essuubi lyaffe lyaggwaawo, twasalibwako.’
12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: Look, I will open your graves and will raise you from your graves, my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Kyonoova owa obunnabbi gye bali n’oyogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mmwe abantu bange, ndyasamya amalaalo gammwe ne mbazuukiza, era ndibakomyawo mu nsi ya Isirayiri.
13 And you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and raise you up out of your graves, my people.
Kale mulimanya nga nze Mukama, era nga nammwe muli bantu bange, bwe ndyasamya amalaalo gammwe ne mbazuukiza.
14 And I will put my breath in you and you will live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD; I have spoken it and I will do it,' says the LORD."
Ndibateekamu Omwoyo wange era muliba balamu; ndibateeka mu nsi yammwe mmwe ne mutuula omwo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama nkyogedde, era nkikoze, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
15 And the word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
16 "And you, son of man, take one stick and write on it, 'For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.'
“Omwana w’omuntu ddira omuggo owandiikeko nti, ‘Guno gwa Yuda n’Abayisirayiri abakolagana nabo.’ Oddire n’omuggo omulala owandiikeko nti, ‘Guno muggo gwa Efulayimu owa Yusufu n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna, bwe bakolagana.’
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
Bagatte bafuuke omuggo gumu, bafuuke omuntu omu mu mukono gwo.
18 And when your people ask you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these things mean?'
“Awo abantu bo bwe bakubuuzanga nti, ‘Amakulu ga bino kye ki?’
19 tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them on it, that is, on the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they will be one in my hand."'
Obategeezanga nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Ndiddira omuggo gwa Yusufu oguli mu mukono gwa Efulayimu, n’ebika bya Isirayiri n’abo bwe bakolagana, ne mbigatta ku muggo gwa Yuda, bafuuke omuntu omu mu mukono gwange.’
20 And the sticks on which you write on will be in your hand in front of them.
Balage emiggo gy’owandiiseeko,
21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says the LORD: Look, I am going to take the people of Israel from among the nations where they are gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them into their own land.
obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndiggya Abayisirayiri mu mawanga gye baagenda. Ndibakuŋŋaanya okuva wonna, ne mbakomyawo mu nsi yaabwe.
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over them, and they will no longer be two nations, and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
Ndibafuula eggwanga limu mu nsi, ku nsozi za Isirayiri. Balifugibwa kabaka omu, tebaliddayo kubeera mawanga abiri, wadde okwawulibwa mu bwakabaka obubiri.
23 And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all their unfaithfulness in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And will they be my people, and I will be their God.
Tebaliddayo kweyonoonyesa ne bakatonda abalala, ebintu ebikole obukozi n’emikono eby’ekivve, wadde okweyonoonyesa mu bibi byabwe. Ndibawonya okuva mu bifo byonna gye beeyonoonyesa, ndibafuula abalongoofu, muliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda wammwe.
24 "'"And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one shepherd. And they will walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
“‘Omuweereza wange Dawudi alibeera kabaka waabwe, era bonna baliba n’omusumba omu. Baligoberera amateeka gange, babeere beegendereza okukwata ebiragiro byange.
25 And they will live in the land that I gave to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.
Balibeera mu nsi gye nawa omuweereza wange Yakobo, ensi bajjajjammwe mwe baabeeranga. Bo n’abaana baabwe, balibeera omwo ennaku zonna, era Dawudi omuweereza wange alibeera mulangira waabwe emirembe gyonna.
26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will give to them and increase their numbers, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forever.
Ndikola endagaano yange ebawa emirembe, eriba ndagaano ey’olubeerera. Ndibanyweza ne mbaaza, era nditeeka ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
27 And my dwelling place will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kinaabeeranga mu bo. Nnaabeeranga Katonda waabwe nabo banaabeeranga bantu bange.
28 Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forever."'"
Amawanga galimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda, nze ntukuza Isirayiri; ekifo kyange eky’okubeeramu kiri mu bo emirembe gyonna.’”
