< Ezekiel 37 >

1 One day Yahweh gave me another vision. In the vision I felt the power [MTY] of God on me, and by his Spirit he took me to the middle of a valley. It was full of bones [of people who had been killed].
KAU mai la ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u, a lawe ae ia'u iwaho ma ka Uhane o Iehova, a hooku iho ia'u ilalo mawaenakonu o ka papu, ua paapu ia i na iwi.
2 He led me to walk back and forth among those bones. I saw that there were very many bones there, bones that were very dry.
A hoohele ia'u e maalo ma ia mau mea a puni; aia hoi he nui wale o lakou ma ka papu, aia hoi, ua maloo loa lakou.
3 He asked me, “You human, [do you think that] these bones can become living [people again]?” I replied, “Yahweh my Lord, only you know [if that can happen].”
A ninau mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hiki anei i keia mau iwi ke ola? I aku la hoi au, E Iehova ka Haku, o oe no ka i ike.
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
Olelo hou mai la oia ia'u, E wanaua oe i keia mau iwi, a e olelo aku ia lakou, E na iwi maloo, e hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova.
5 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you bones: I will put my breath into each of you, and you will become alive again.
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei i keia mau iwi; Eia hoi, e hookomo au i ke ea iloko o oukou, a e ola na oukou.
6 I will fasten tendons to your bones, and cause your bones to be covered with flesh. I will cover the flesh with skin. Then I will breathe into you, and you will become alive. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
A e kau iho au i na olona maluna o oukou, a lawe mai au i ka io maluna o oukou, a e uhi ia oukou i ka ili, a e hookomo ae au i ke ea iloko o oukou, a e ola oukou; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
7 So I spoke to the bones what Yahweh commanded me to speak. As I was speaking, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bones joining to each other.
A wanana aku la au e like me au i kauohaia mai ai: a i kuu wanana ana, kawewe ae la, aia hoi, he nauwe ana, a hui ae na iwi, ka iwi me kona iwi.
8 While I was looking, I saw tendons fastening to them and flesh covering them, and then skin covered the flesh, but they did not breathe.
A i ko'u nana ana'ku, aia hoi, pii mai no na olona a me ka io maluna o lakou, a uhi mai ka ili ia lakou maluna; aka, aole ea iloko o lakou.
9 Then he said to me, “You human, prophesy to the wind. Say to the wind, ‘Wind [APO], Yahweh says to you, blow from all four directions. Breathe into these people who have been killed, in order that they can become alive again!’”
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E wanana oe i ka makani, e wanana, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, a e olelo i ka makani, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, E hele mai, e ka makani, mai na makani eha mai, a e ha iho maluna o keia poe make i ka pepehiia, i ola lakou.
10 So I said what he commanded me to say, and then breath entered them. They became alive and stood up, like a huge army.
A wanana aku la au e like me kana i kauoha mai ai ia'u, a komo mai ke ea iloko o lakou, a ola ae la lakou, a ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou mau wawae, he mau koa lehulehu loa.
11 Then he said to me, “You human, these bones represent all the Israeli people [MTY]. The people say, ‘[It is as though] our bones are dried up; there are no more good things that we can (hope for/confidently expect to happen to us); our nation is destroyed/finished.’
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o keia poe iwi, o ka ohana a pau ia a Iseraela; aia hoi, ke olelo nei lakou, Uamaloo ko kakou mau iwi, a ua lilo ko kakou mea i manaolana ai; ua oki loa ia'e nei kakou.
12 So prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: My people, [it will be as though] I will open your graves and cause your corpses to become alive again. I will bring you back to Israel.
Nolaila e wanana aku, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Aia hoi, e ko'u poe kanaka, e huai ae au i ko oukou mau luakupapau, a e hoopii mai au ia oukou mai loko mai o ko oukou mau luakupapau, a e lawe ae ia oukou i ka aina o ka Iseraela.
13 Then, what that happens, you my people will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Alaila e ike oukou owau no Iehova, i ka wa i huai ai au i ko oukou mau luakupapau, e ko'u poe kanaka, a lawe mai hoi au ia oukou mai loko mai o ko oukou mau luakupapau;
14 I will put my Spirit in you, and [it will be as though] you will become alive again, and I will enable you to live in your own land again. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who said [that it would happen] and who has caused it to happen. That is what I, Yahweh, declare.’”
A hookomo i kuu Uhane iloko o oukou, a e ola oukou, a e hoonoho au ia oukou ma ko oukou aina; alaila e ike oukou owau no Iehova ka i olelo a e hana aku hoi, wahi a Iehova.
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
16 “You human, take a piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Judah and all the tribes of Judah.’ Then take another piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel.’
A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e lawe oe i ka laau nou, a e kakau iho maluna iho ona, No Iuda, a no na mamo a Iseraela kona mau hoa; alaila e lawe i kekahi laau, a e kakau iho maluna ona, No Iosepa, ka laau o ka Eperaima, a no ka ohana a pau a Iseraela kona mau hoa.
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
A e hookui ia laua i kekahi i kekahi i laau hookahi; a e lilo laua i hookahi iloko o kou lima.
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
Aia olelo na keiki a kanaka ia oe, e ninau ana, Aole anei oe e hoike mai ia makou i kou ma keia mau mea?
19 tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: One of the pieces of wood in my hand represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel. I am joining it to the piece of wood that represents Judah, to form one piece of wood in his hand.’
E olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e lawe au i ka laau o Iosepa, ka mea iloko o ka lima o Eperaima, a me na ohana a Iseraela kona mau hoa, a e hui aku au ia lakou me ia, me ka laau hoi o Iuda, a e hoolilo au ia lakou i laau hookahi, a lilo lakou i hookahi iloko o ko'u lima.
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
A e waiho no na laau au e kakau ai iloko o kou lima imua o ko lakou alo.
21 Say to the people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I will take you Israeli people out of the countries to which you have been forced to go. I will gather you from all those nations and bring you back to your own land.
A e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e lawe mai au i ka poe mamo a Iseraela mai waena mai o na lahuikanaka kahi i hele aku ai lakou, a e houluulu au ia lakou ma kela aoao keia aoao, a e lawe mai ia lakou iloko o ko lakou aina.
22 And I will cause you to again be one nation in that land, on the mountains in Israel. And there will be one king to rule over all of you. Never again will you be two nations or divided into two kingdoms.
A e hoolilo au ia lakou i lahuikanaka hookahi ma ka aina maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela; a no lakou a pau he alii hookahi no; aole alua lahuikanaka hou aku lakou, aole loa hoi e mokuahana hou aku i elua aupuni.
23 No longer will you (defile yourselves/make yourselves unacceptable to me) by [worshiping] idols and disgusting statues [of your gods], because I will enable you to quit your sinful behavior and to stop rejecting me. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Aole hoi e hoohaumia hou aku lakou ia lakou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii, aole hoi me ko lakou mau mea inainaia, aole hoi me kahi o ka lakou lawehala ana: aka, a e hoola au ia lakou mai loko mai o ko lakou mau wahi i noho ai, i hana hewa ai lakou, a e hoomaemae au ia lakou: a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a owau hoi i Akua no lakou.
24 [Someone who will be like] [MET] [King] David who served [me well] will be the king [of your descendants], and [it will be as though] [MET] he will be their shepherd. They will carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
A e lilo ka'u kauwa o Davida i alii maluna o lakou, a no lakou a pau he kahuhipa hookahi; e hele hoi lakou ma ko'u mau kanawai, a malama hoi lakou i ka'u mau kauoha, a e hana hoi malaila.
25 They will live in the land that I gave to Jacob, who also served [me well]; they will live in the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren will live there forever, and [the one who will be like] [MET] [King] David will be their king forever.
A e noho lakou ma ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i kuu kauwa ia Iakoba, kahi i noho ai ko oukou mau makua; a e noho lakou malaila, o lakou, a me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ka poe keiki a ka lakou poe keiki a mau loa aku; a e mau ana no ko ka'u kauwa ko Davida alii ana no lakou.
26 I will make a peace agreement with them; it will be an agreement that will endure forever. I will again give them that land and cause their population to increase. And I will put my temple among them forever.
A e hana au i ka berita hoomalu me lakou, e lilo ia i berita mau loa me lakou; a e hoonoho au ia lakou, a e hoonui au ia lakou, a e hoonoho au i kuu wahi hoano iwaena o lakou a mau loa.
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
A o ko'u halelewa kekahi me lakou; a owau auanei ko lakou Akua, a o lakou hoi ko'u poe kanaka.
28 Then, when my temple is forever there among them, the people of other nations will know that I, Yahweh, have caused the Israeli people to be set apart [to belong to me].’”
A e ike hoi na lahuikanaka, owau o Iehova ka i hoomaemae i ka Iseraela, i ka mau loa ana o ko'u wahi hoano iwaenakonu o lakou.
