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.
Aka nke Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m, o sitekwara nʼike Mmụọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bulie m, debe m nʼetiti ndagwurugwu nke jupụtara nʼọkpụkpụ.
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.
O mere ka m jegharịa nʼetiti ha. Ahụrụ m ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, nke dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, ka ha ghasa na ndagwurugwu ahụ.
3 And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "LORD, you know."
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a ha pụrụ ịdị ndị ọzọ?” Asịrị m, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ naanị gị onwe gị maara.”
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.'
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, gwa ha, ‘Unu ọkpụkpụ niile kpọrọ nkụ, geenụ ntị nʼokwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
5 Thus says the LORD to these bones: 'Look, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa ọkpụkpụ ndị a. Lee, aga m eme ka ume baa nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ.
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.'"
Aga m etinyekwasị unu akwara, na anụ ahụ, werekwa akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchie unu. Aga m etinye ume nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
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.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka e sị nye m nʼiwu. Mgbe m nọ na-ebu amụma ahụ, anụrụ m ụzụ, ụzụ mkpọtụ. Ma lee, ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ niile bịara ibe ha nso; ọkpụkpụ malitekwara ijikọta onwe ha ọnụ.
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.
Mgbe m nọkwa na-ele anya, lee, ahụrụ m ka akwara na anụ ahụ malitere ịbịakwasị nʼelu ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchikwara elu ha. Ma nʼoge a ume ọbụla adịghị nʼime ha.
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.'"
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ifufe; buo amụma, nwa nke mmadụ, sị ifufe, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: site nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa bịa, gị ume na-enye ndụ, kukwasị ndị a e gburu egbu ka ha dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.’”
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.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka o si nye m nʼiwu. Ume ndụ banyekwara nʼime ha. Ha niile dịịrị ndụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ ha, ghọọ usuu ndị agha dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
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.'
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a nọchiri anya ụlọ Izrel niile. Ha na-asị, ‘Anyị aghọọla ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, olileanya niile agwụkwala, anyị abụrụla ndị e bipụrụ.’
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.
Nʼihi ya, buo amụma gwa ha, ‘otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ndị m, aga m emeghe ili unu, si nʼebe ahụ wepụta unu. Aga m eme ka unu lọghachitakwa nʼala Izrel.
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.
Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe m meghere ili unu mee ka unu si nʼime ya pụta, unu bụ ndị m ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
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."
Aga m etinye Mmụọ m nʼime unu, unu ga-adị ndụ, lọghachikwa nʼala unu ọzọ. Unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ekwuola ya, meekwa ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
15 And the word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
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.'
“Nwa nke mmadụ, were osisi dee ihe ndị a nʼelu ya, ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Juda na ndị Izrel e kekọtara ya na ha ọnụ.’ Werekwa osisi ọzọ deekwa okwu ndị a nʼelu ya. ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Ifrem, na Josef, na ndị Izrel niile e jikọtara ha na ndị a ọnụ.’
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
Jidekọtaa osisi abụọ ndị a ọnụ, mee ka ha bụrụ otu osisi nʼaka gị.
18 And when your people ask you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these things mean?'
“Mgbe ndị gị jụrụ gị, ‘Ị gaghị egosi anyị ihe nke a pụtara?’
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."'
gwa ha, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Lee, agaje m iwere osisi Josef, nke dị Ifrem nʼaka, nke bụkwa ihe nọchiri anya ebo ụfọdụ ndị Izrel, jidekọtaa ya na osisi nọchiri anya Juda, mee ha ka ha ghọọ otu osisi, bụrụkwa otu nʼaka m.’
20 And the sticks on which you write on will be in your hand in front of them.
Were mkpirisi osisi ndị ahụ i dere ihe nke dị nʼaka gị, gosi ha,
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.
ma gwakwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m esite na mba niile ndị Izrel jere biri kpọpụta ha. Aga m achịkọtakwa ha site nʼakụkụ niile, kpọbata ha nʼala nke aka ha.
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.
Aga m eme ha ka ha bụrụ otu mba nʼala ahụ, nʼugwu niile nke Izrel. Ha ga-enwe naanị otu eze nke ga-achị ha niile. Ha agaghị abụkwa mba abụọ maọbụ alaeze abụọ ọzọ.
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.
Ha agaghị ejikwa arụsị ha niile, maọbụ ihe a pịrị apị rụrụ arụ, maọbụ jiri ihe ọjọọ ndị ọzọ dị iche iche merụọ onwe ha ọzọ. Nʼihi na aga m azọpụta ha site na ịlaghachi azụ nʼụzọ mmehie ha niile, meekwa ka ha dị ọcha. Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
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.
“‘Ohu m, Devid, ga-abụ eze ga-achị ha, ha ga-enwekwa otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ. Ha ga-edebezu iwu m niile, na ụkpụrụ m niile.
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.
Ha ga-ebi nʼala ahụ m nyere ohu m Jekọb, ala ebe nna nna ha biri. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-ebi nʼime ya. Ụmụ ụmụ ha ruo ọgbọ niile ga-ebikwa nʼime ya. Ohu m Devid ga-abụ eze ha ruo ebighị ebi.
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.
Mụ na ha ga-agba ndụ udo, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Aga m agọzi ha, mee ka ha baa ụba. Nʼetiti ha kwa ka ụlọnsọ m ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
27 And my dwelling place will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Ebe obibi m ga-abụkwa nʼetiti ha. E, aga m abụ Chineke ha, ha ga-abụkwa ndị m.
28 Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forever."'"
Mgbe ụlọnsọ m ga-adị nʼetiti ha ruo ebighị ebi, mba niile ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-edo Izrel nsọ.’”
