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].
Nga pulakin ku lun LEUM GOD in nga, ac ngun lal usyula ac filiyuwi in sie infahlfal sessesla ke sri.
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.
El pwenyu raunyak inmasrlon sri uh, ac nga liye lah arulana pukanten sri mahi ac paola.
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].”
Na El siyuk sik, “Kom mwet sukawil moul la, ya sri inge ku in sifilpa moul?” Ac nga topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom na pa etu.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
Na El fahk, “Fahkak kas in palu nu ke sri inge. Fahk nu sin sri paola inge elos in lohng kas lun LEUM GOD.
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.
Fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk mu: Nga ac sot nu suwos momong, ac oru kowos in sifilpa moulyak.
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].’”
Nga ac fah sot nu suwos alko ac ikwa, ac afinkowosla ke kolo. Nga ac sot momong nu in kowos ac akmoulyekowosyak. Na kowos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
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.
Ouinge nga orek palu oana ke fwackme nu sik. Ke nga srakna kaskas, nga lohng sie pusra erarrar, na sri uh mutawauk in kupasreni.
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.
Ke nga ngetang liye ma inge, sri uh mutawauk in nukla ke alko ac ikwa, na fah kolo. Tusruktu wangin momong in elos.
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!’”
Na God El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, fahk kas in palu nu ke eng uh. Fahkang lah LEUM GOD Fulatlana El sap elan tuku liki acn nukewa ac mongyang nu ke mano misa inge, ac oru elos in moulyak.”
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.
Ouinge nga palye oana ke fwackme nu sik. Na momong ilyak nu ke mano inge ac elos moulyak ac tuyak. Elos arulana pus, fal in orala sie un mwet mweun na yohk.
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.’
Na God El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, mwet Israel elos oana sri inge. Elos fahk mu elos paola, ac elos wotla liki kutena finsrak lalos nu ke pacl tok uh.
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.
Ouinge palye nu sin mwet luk, mwet Israel, ac fahkang lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fah ikasla kulyuk lalos, ac nga fah eisalosla ac folokunulosme nu in facl 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].
Ke nga ac ikasla kulyuk uh yen mwet luk pukpuki we, ac usalosyak liki, na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
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.’”
Nga ac fah mongyang nu in elos ac akmoulyalosyak, ac oru elos in muta in facl selos sifacna. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga wulela mu nga ac oru ma inge, ac nga ac oru. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
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.’
“Mwet sukawil, eis sie polosak ac simusla kas inge kac: ‘Ma lal Judah ac mwet nukewa in tokosrai lal!’ Na kom sifilpa eis sie polosak ac simusla kas inge kac, ‘Ma lal Joseph ac mwet nukewa in tokosrai lun Israel.’
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
Na kom sruokya muta luo an ac orani in oana luman polosak sefanna.
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
Ke mwet lom ac siyuk sum lah mea kalmen ma inge,
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.’
fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fah eis polosak se ma aolla Israel, ac sang in weang polosak se ma aol Judah an. Nga ac fah orani polosak luo in orala sak sokofanna, ac sruokya inpouk.
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
“Sruokya polosak luo an inpoum, ac lela mwet uh in liye.
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.
Na kom in fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fah eis mwet luk nukewa liki mutunfacl ma elos fahsrelik nu we, ac oraloseni nu sie, ac folokunulosla nu in facl selos sifacnu.
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.
Nga ac fah oraloseni in orala mutunfacl sefanna in acn selos fineol lun Israel. Ac fah oasr tokosra sefanna in kololos, ac elos ac fah tia sifil kitakatelik nu ke mutunfacl luo, ku muta ye poun tokosra luo.
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.
Elos ac fah tia sifil akfohkfokyalos ke ma sruloala, ku akkolukyalos ke ma srungayuk. Nga ac fah aksukosokyalosla liki ouiya nukewa su elos orekma koluk ac lafwekinyu kac. Nga ac fah aknasnasyalosla, na elos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga ac fah God lalos.
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].
Sie tokosra su oana David, mwet kulansap luk, ac fah tokosra lalos. Elos nukewa ac fah tukeni ye mwet kol sefanna, ac oaru in liyaung ma sap luk.
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.
Elos ac fah muta fin facl se su nga sang nu sel Jacob, mwet kulansap luk — facl se mwet matu lalos tuh muta we. Elos ac fah muta we nwe tok, wi tulik natulos ac fwilin tulik natulos. Sie tokosra oana David, mwet kulansap luk, ac fah kololos nwe tok.
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.
Nga ac fah orala sie wulela yorolos su ac fah akkeye lah elos ac fah muta in misla ingela nwe tok. Nga ac fah musaelosyak ac akpusyalos, ac oru tuh Tempul luk in oanna yorolos in facl selos ingela nwe tok.
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
Nga ac fah muta yorolos we. Nga ac fah God lalos, ac elos ac fah mwet luk.
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].’”
Ke nga ac oakiya Tempul luk in oan inmasrlolos nwe tok, na mutunfacl nukewa ac fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, sulela mwet Israel tuh elos in mwet luk.”
