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].
facta est super me manus Domini et eduxit me in spiritu Domini et dimisit me in medio campi qui erat plenus ossibus
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.
et circumduxit me per ea in gyro erant autem multa valde super faciem campi siccaque vehementer
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].”
et dixit ad me fili hominis putasne vivent ossa ista et dixi Domine Deus tu nosti
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
et dixit ad me vaticinare de ossibus istis et dices eis ossa arida audite verbum Domini
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.
haec dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum et vivetis
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].’”
et dabo super vos nervos et succrescere faciam super vos carnes et superextendam in vobis cutem et dabo vobis spiritum et vivetis et scietis quia ego Dominus
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.
et prophetavi sicut praeceperat mihi factus est autem sonitus prophetante me et ecce commotio et accesserunt ossa ad ossa unumquodque ad iuncturam suam
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.
et vidi et ecce super ea nervi et carnes ascenderunt et extenta est in eis cutis desuper et spiritum non habebant
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!’”
et dixit ad me vaticinare ad spiritum vaticinare fili hominis et dices ad spiritum haec dicit Dominus Deus a quattuor ventis veni spiritus et insufla super interfectos istos et revivescant
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.
et prophetavi sicut praeceperat mihi et ingressus est in ea spiritus et vixerunt steteruntque super pedes suos exercitus grandis nimis valde
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.’
et dixit ad me fili hominis ossa haec universa domus Israhel est ipsi dicunt aruerunt ossa nostra et periit spes nostra et abscisi sumus
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.
propterea vaticinare et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego aperiam tumulos vestros et educam vos de sepulchris vestris populus meus et inducam vos in terram Israhel
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].
et scietis quia ego Dominus cum aperuero sepulchra vestra et eduxero vos de tumulis vestris populus meus
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.’”
et dedero spiritum meum in vobis et vixeritis et requiescere vos faciam super humum vestram et scietis quia ego Dominus locutus sum et feci ait Dominus Deus
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
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.’
et tu fili hominis sume tibi lignum unum et scribe super illud Iudae et filiorum Israhel sociis eius et tolle lignum alterum et scribe super eum Ioseph lignum Ephraim et cunctae domui Israhel sociorumque eius
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
et adiunge illa unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum et erunt in unionem in manu tua
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui loquentes nonne indicas nobis quid in his tibi velis
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.’
loqueris ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adsumam lignum Ioseph quod est in manu Ephraim et tribus Israhel quae iunctae sunt ei et dabo eas pariter cum ligno Iuda et faciam eas in lignum unum et erunt unum in manu eius
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
erunt autem ligna super quae scripseris in manu tua in oculis eorum
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.
et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adsumam filios Israhel de medio nationum ad quas abierunt et congregabo eos undique et adducam eos ad humum suam
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.
et faciam eos gentem unam in terra in montibus Israhel et rex unus erit omnibus imperans et non erunt ultra duae gentes nec dividentur amplius in duo regna
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.
neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis et abominationibus suis et in cunctis iniquitatibus suis et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus suis in quibus peccaverunt et mundabo eos et erunt mihi populus et ego ero eis Deus
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].
et servus meus David rex super eos et pastor unus erit omnium eorum in iudiciis meis ambulabunt et mandata mea custodient et facient ea
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.
et habitabunt super terram quam dedi servo meo Iacob in qua habitaverunt patres vestri et habitabunt super eam ipsi et filii eorum et filii filiorum eorum usque in sempiternum et David servus meus princeps eorum in perpetuum
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.
et percutiam illis foedus pacis pactum sempiternum erit eis et fundabo eos et multiplicabo et dabo sanctificationem meam in medio eorum in perpetuum
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
et erit tabernaculum meum in eis et ero eis Deus et ipsi erunt mihi populus
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].’”
et scient gentes quia ego Dominus sanctificator Israhel cum fuerit sanctificatio mea in medio eorum in perpetuum
