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].
Adda kaniak ti ima ni Yahweh, imbaonnak babaen iti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket imbabanak iti tengnga ti maysa a tanap. Napno daytoy kadagiti tulang.
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.
Ket impalubosna a labas-labasak dagitoy. Kitaem! Adu kadagitoy ti adda iti tanap. Ket kitaem! Namagada unay.
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].”
Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, agbiag kadi manen dagitoy a tulang?” Isu a kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, sika laeng ti makaammo!”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
Ket kinunana kaniak, “Agipadtoka kadagitoy a tulang ket ibagam kadagitoy, 'Namaga a tultulang! Dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh.
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.
Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh kadagitoy a tulang: Kitaem! Mangiyegak iti espiritu kadakayo ket agbiagkayonto.
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].’”
Mangikabilak kadagiti pennet ken ikkankayo iti lasag. Balkotenkayo iti kudil ken ikkankayo iti anges ket agbiagkayo. Ket maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh.'”
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.
Isu a nagipadtoak a kas naibilin kaniak; kabayatan nga agipadpadtoak, adtoy, adda dimteng a daranudor ket naggingined. Ket nagsusuop dagiti tulang—tulang iti tulangna.
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.
Kimmitaak ket adtoy, adda pennet kadagitoy. Adda lasag ken nabalkot dagitoy iti kudil! Ngem awan pay biag kadagitoy.
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!’”
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Agipadtoka iti angin! Agipadtoka anak ti tao, ket ibagam iti angin, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Umayka manipud iti uppat nga angin, Espiritu! Ket angsam dagitoy a napapatay tapno agbiagda manen.'”
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.
Isu a nagipadtoak a kas naibilin kaniak; immay ti Espiritu kadakuada ket nagbiagda! Ket timmakderda, maysa a dakkel unay nga armada!
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.’
Ket kinuna ti Dios kaniak, “Anak ti tao, dagitoy a tulang ket isu ti entero a balay ti Israel. Kitaem! Ibagbagada, 'Namaga dagiti tulangtayo, ken napukawen ti namnamatayo. Naisinatayo para iti pannakadadael!'
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.
Ngarud, agipadtoka ket ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kitaem! Lukatakto dagiti tanemyo ket irruarkayonto manipud kadagitoy, tattaok! Ket isublikayonto iti daga ti Israel!
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].
Ket maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh, inton lukatak dagiti tanemyo ken irruarkayo manipud kadagitoy, tattaok.
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.’”
Itedkonto kadakayo ti Espirituk tapno agbiagkayo, ket paginanaenkayonto iti dagayo inton maammoanyo a siak ni Yahweh. Ipakaammok ket aramidekto daytoy—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.'”
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
Kalpasanna, dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
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.’
“Ita, anak ti tao mangalaka iti maysa a ruting ket isuratmo iti daytoy, 'Para iti Juda ken kadagiti tattao ti Israel a kakaduana.' Ket mangalaka iti maysa pay a ruting ket isuratmo iti daytoy, 'Para kenni Jose, a sanga ti Efraim, ken para kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel a kakaduada.
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
Alaem dagitoy ket pagbalinem a maymaysa a ruting tapno maymaysa dagitoy iti imam.
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
No makisarita kenka dagiti tattaom a kunada, 'Saanmo kadi nga ibaga kadakami ti kayat a sawen dagitoy a banbanag?'
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.’
ket ibagam kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, Kitaem! Alaek ti sanga ni Jose nga adda iti ima ni Efraim ken dagiti tribu ti Israel a kakaduana, ket itiponko daytoy iti sanga ti Juda, tapno agbalindanto a maymaysa a sanga, ket maymaysadanto iti imak!'
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
Ket iggamam dagiti sanga a sinuratam iti sangoananda.
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.
Ket ipakaammom kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, Kitaem! Ngannganikon alaen dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud kadagiti nasion a napananda. Ummongekto ida manipud kadagiti daga iti aglawlaw. Ta ipankonto ida iti dagada.
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.
Aramidekto ida a maysa a nasion iti daga, kadagiti bantay ti Israel; ket addanto maysa nga ari a mangiturayto kadakuada amin, ket saandanton a dua a nasion; saandanton a mabingay iti dua a pagarian.
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.
Ket saandanton a pulos a tulawan dagiti bagida babaen kadagiti didiosenda, kadagiti makarimon a banbanag ken kadagiti aniaman a dadduma a basolda. Ta isalakankonto ida manipud kadagiti awan serserbina nga aramidda a nakabasolanda, ket dalusakto ida, tapno agbalindanto a tattaok ket siakto ti Diosda.
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].
Ni David nga adipenko ti agbalinto nga arida. Isu nga addanto maysa nga agipastor kadakuada amin, ket agbiagdanto segun kadagiti paglintegak ket salimetmetandanto dagiti alagadek ken tungpalendanto dagitoy.
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.
Agnaeddanto iti daga nga intedko iti adipenko a ni Jacob, iti lugar a nagnaedan dagiti ammayo. Agnaeddanto iti daytoy iti agnanayon—isuda, dagiti annakda, ken dagiti appokoda, ta ni David nga adipenko ti agbalinto a panguloda iti agnanayon.
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.
Mangaramidakto iti katulagan a pakikappia kadakuada. Agbalinto daytoy a katulagan nga agnanayon kadakuada. Alaen ken paaduekto ida ket isaadkonto ti nasantoan a lugarko iti tengngada iti agnanayon.
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
Addanto kadakuada ti lugar a pagnanaedak; siakto ti Diosda ket isudanto dagiti tattaok!
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].’”
Ket maammoanto dagiti nasion a siak ni Yahweh, a nangidatag iti Israel iti bagik, inton addanto iti tengngada ti nasantoan a lugarko iti agnanayon!'”
