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].
Harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; innis Hafuura Waaqayyootiin na fuudhee, walakkaa sululaa na dhaabe; sululli sunis lafeewwaniin guutamee ture.
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.
Isaan gidduus asii fi achi na deddeebise; anis lafeewwan akka malee baayʼee kanneen akka malee goggogan lafa sululaa irratti nan arge.
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].”
Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, lafeewwan kunneen jiraachuu dandaʼuu?” jedhee na gaafate. Ani immoo, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, si qofatu beeka” nan jedhe.
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
Kana irratti inni akkana naan jedhe; “Lafeewwan kanneenitti raajiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Yaa lafeewwan goggogoo, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa!
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.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan lafeewwan kanneeniin akkana jedha: Ani hafuura isinitti nan galcha; isinis lubbuudhaan ni jiraattu.
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].’”
Ribuu isinitti nan baasa; akka foon isinitti baʼu nan godha; gogaas isinitti nan uffisa; hafuuras isin keessa nan kaaʼa; isinis lubbuudhaan ni jiraattu. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
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.
Kanaafuu ani akkuman ajajametti raajii nan dubbadhe. Utuma ani raajii dubbachaa jiruus sagaleen tokko dhagaʼame; lafeewwanis walitti dhufan; lafeenis lafeetti maxxane.
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.
Yeroo ani isaan ilaaletti, kunoo ribuun isaanitti baʼee ture; foonis isaan irra ture; gogaas uffatanii turan; hafuurri garuu isaan keessa hin jiru ture.
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!’”
Ergasii inni akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, bubbeetti raajii dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa bubbee, bubbeewwan afran irraa kottu; akka isaan lubbuudhaan jiraataniif warra gorraʼaman kanneenitti bubbisi.’”
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.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma inni na ajajetti raajii nan dubbadhe; hafuurris isaanitti gale; isaanis lubbuu horatanii miilla isaaniitiin kaʼanii dhadhaabatan; isaanis raayyaa guddaa turan.
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.’
Innis akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, lafeewwan kunneen guutummaa mana Israaʼeli. Jarris, ‘Lafeewwan keenya goggoganiiru; nu abdii hin qabnu; cinneerras’ jedhu.
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.
Kanaafuu raajii dubbadhuuttii akkana isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa saba koo ani awwaala kee banee isa keessaa sin baasa; ani biyya Israaʼelitti deebisee sin fida.
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].
Isinis yaa saba ko, yeroo ani awwaala keessan banee isa keessaa isin baasutti, akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
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.’”
Ani Hafuura koo isin keessa nan kaaʼa; isinis lubbuudhaan jiraattu; ani biyyuma keessan keessa isinan qubachiisa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo dubbadhee hojjedhe ni beektu, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
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.’
“Yaa ilma namaa, ulee mukaa tokko fuudhiitii, ‘Kan Yihuudaatii fi kan Israaʼeloota isa wajjin tumsanii’ jedhii isa irratti barreessi. Ulee mukaa kan biraas fuudhiitii, ‘Ulee Efreem, kan Yoosefii fi kan guutummaa mana Israaʼel kanneen isa wajjin tumsanii’ jedhii isa irratti barreessi.
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
Akka isaan harka kee keessatti tokko taʼaniif uleewwan sana walitti qabsiis.
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
“Yommuu namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Kun maal jechuu kee akka taʼe nutti hin himtuu?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti,
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.’
akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani ulee Yoosef kan harka Efreem jiru kan gosoota Israaʼel kanneen isa wajjin tumsanii, ulee Yihuudaa wajjin walitti qabsiisee ulee mukaa tokko nan godha; isaanis harka koo keessatti tokko ni taʼu.’
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
Fuula isaanii durattis uleewwan isaan irratti barreessite sana harkatti qabadhuutii
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.
akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota isaan keessa turan keessaa Israaʼeloota nan baasa. Qixa hundaa walitti isaan qabee biyya isaaniitti isaan nan galcha.
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.
Ani tulluuwwan Israaʼel irratti, biyyattii keessatti saba tokko isaan nan godha. Isaan hunda irratti mootii tokkotu moʼa; isaanis gonkumaa deebiʼanii saboota lama hin taʼan yookaan mootummaan isaanii iddoo lamatti hin qoodamu.
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.
Isaan siʼachi waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaa fi fakkiiwwan faayidaa hin qabneen yookaan balleessaa isaanii kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessan; ani cubbuudhaan dugda duubatti mucucaachuu isaanii hunda irraa deebisee isaan nan qulqulleessaatii. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
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].
“‘Daawit garbichi koo isaan irratti mootii ni taʼa; isaan hundis tiksitee tokko ni qabaatu. Isaan seera koo duukaa ni buʼu; sirna koos of eeggannaadhaan ni eegu.
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.
Isaan biyya abbootiin keessan jiraatan, biyya ani Yaaqoobiif kenne keessa ni jiraatu. Isaanii fi ijoolleen isaanii, ijoolleen ijoollee isaaniis bara baraan achi ni jiraatu; Daawit garbichi koos bara baraan bulchaa isaanii ni taʼa.
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.
Ani isaan wajjin kakuu nagaa nan seena; kakuun kunis kakuu bara baraa ni taʼa. Ani jabeessee isaan nan dhaaba; lakkoobsa isaaniis nan baayʼisa; gidduu isaaniittis iddoo qulqulluu koo bara baraan nan dhaaba.
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
Iddoon jireenya koo isaan bira taʼa; ani Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaanis saba koo ni taʼu.
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].’”
Ergasii yommuu iddoon qulqulluun koo bara baraan isaan gidduu jiraatutti, akka ani Waaqayyo Israaʼelin qulqulleessu saboonni ni beeku.’”
