Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of YHWH was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of YHWH, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it 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 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.
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 to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "YHWH, you know."
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 Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of YHWH.'
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 says YHWH to these bones: 'Look, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will 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 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 YHWH.'"
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 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.
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 watched, and look, there were tendons on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. But there was no breath 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 he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath, 'Thus says YHWH: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these corpses, 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 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.
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 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.'
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 tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: 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.
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 you will know that I am YHWH, when I have opened your graves and raise you up out of your graves, 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 breath in you and you will live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I am YHWH; I have spoken it and I will do it,' says YHWH."
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 YHWH came again to me, saying,
Naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
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.'
“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 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
Pea ke hoko fakataha ia ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha; pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo taha pe ʻi ho nima.
18 And when your people ask you, saying, 'Will you not tell us what these things mean?'
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 tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "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."'
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 on which you write on will be in your hand in front of them.
Pea ko e ongo vaʻa ʻakau ʻaia naʻa ke tohi ki ai, ʻe ʻi ho nima ia ʻi honau ʻao.”
21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says YHWH: 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And my dwelling place will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
ʻE ʻiate kinautolu foki ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki: ʻio, te u ʻi ai ko honau ʻOtua au, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.
28 Then the nations will know that I am YHWH who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forever."'"
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.”
