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].
Ọwọ́ Olúwa wà lára mi, ó sì mú mi jáde pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí Olúwa, ó mú kí ń wà ní àárín àfonífojì; ti o kún fún àwọn egungun.
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.
Ó mú mi lọ síwájú àti sẹ́yìn láàrín wọn, èmi sì rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn egungun ní orí ilẹ̀ àfonífojì, àwọn egungun tí ó gbẹ gan.
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].”
Olúwa sì bi mí léèrè, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, ǹjẹ́ àwọn egungun wọ̀nyí lè yípadà di àwọn ènìyàn bí?” Èmi sì wí pé, “Ìwọ Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ nìkan ni o lè dáhùn sí ìbéèrè yìí.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún mi pé, “Sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn egungun kí ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin egungun gbígbẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa!
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.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí fún àwọn egungun wọ̀nyí. Èmi yóò mú kí èémí wọ inú yín ẹ̀yin yóò sì wá di ààyè.
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].’”
Èmi yóò so iṣan ara mọ́ ọn yín, Èmi yóò sì mú kí ẹran-ara wá sí ara yín, Èmi yóò sì fi awọ ara bò yín, Èmi yóò sì fi èémí sínú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì wà ní ààyè. Nígbà náà ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé èmi ni Olúwa.’”
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.
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti pa á láṣẹ fún mi. Bí mo sì ti ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ariwo wá, ìró tí ó kígbe sókè, àwọn egungun sì wà papọ̀, egungun sí egungun.
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.
Mo wò ó, iṣan ara àti ẹran-ara farahàn lára wọn, awọ ara sì bò wọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí èémí nínú wọn.
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!’”
Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó sọ fún mi pé, “Sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí èémí; sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ọmọ ènìyàn, kí ó sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: wá láti atẹ́gùn mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin, ìwọ èémí, kí ó sì mí èémí sínú àwọn tí a pa wọ̀nyí, kí wọn kí ó lè wà ní ààyè.’”
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.
Nítorí náà, mo sọtẹ́lẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe pa á láṣẹ fún mi, èémí sì wọ inú wọn; wọ́n di alààyè, wọ́n sì dìde dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ wọn—pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra tí ó pọ̀.
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.’
Lẹ́yìn náà ó sọ fún mi: “Ọmọ ènìyàn, àwọn egungun wọ̀nyí ni gbogbo ìdílé Israẹli. Wọ́n sọ wí pé, ‘Egungun wa ti gbẹ ìrètí wa sì ti lọ; a ti gé wa kúrò.’
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.
Nítorí náà sọtẹ́lẹ̀, kí o sì sọ fun wọn pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ: Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, Èmi yóò ṣí àwọn ibojì yín, èmi yóò sì mú yín wá si ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
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].
Ẹ̀yin o sì mọ̀ èmi ni Olúwa, nígbà tí èmi bá ti ṣí ibojì yín, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, ti èmi bá si mú un yín dìde kúrò nínú ibojì yín.
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.’”
Èmi yóò fi èémí mi sínú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì yè, èmi yóò sì mú kí ẹ fi lélẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ ẹ̀yin tìkára yín. Nígbà náà ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀, èmi sì ti ṣe ni Olúwa wí.’”
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mi wá:
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.’
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, mú igi pátákó kan kí ó sì kọ̀wé sí ara rẹ̀, ‘Tí ó jẹ́ ti Juda àti ti Israẹli tí ó ní àṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.’ Lẹ́yìn náà, kí ó mú igi pátákò mìíràn kí ó sì kọ̀wé sí ara rẹ̀, ‘Tí ó jẹ́ ti tí Josẹfu (tí ó túmọ̀ sí ti Efraimu) àti gbogbo ilé Israẹli tí ó ni àṣepọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.’
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
So wọ́n papọ̀ sí ara igi kan nítorí náà wọn yóò di ọ̀kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ.
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
“Nígbà tí àwọn ara ìlú rẹ bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ pé, ‘Ṣé ìwọ kò ní sọ ohun tí èyí túmọ̀ sí fún wa?’
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.’
Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi yóò gba igi Josẹfu—èyí tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ Efraimu—àti ti ẹ̀yà Israẹli tí ó parapọ̀ mọ́ ọn, kí ó sì só papọ̀ mọ́ igi Juda, láti sọ wọ́n di igi kan ṣoṣo, wọn yóò sì di ọ̀kan ní ọwọ́ mi.’
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
Gbé igi pátákó tí ó kọ nǹkan sí i sókè ní iwájú wọn,
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.
kí ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi yóò mú Israẹli jáde kúrò ní àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n ti lọ. Èmi yóò ṣà wọ́n jọ pọ̀ láti gbogbo agbègbè, èmi yóò sì mú wọn padà sí ilẹ̀ ara wọn.
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.
Èmi yóò ṣe wọ́n ní orílẹ̀-èdè kan ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní orí òkè Israẹli, ọba kan ni yóò wà lórí gbogbo wọn, wọn kì yóò sì jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè méjì mọ́, tàbí kí a pín wọn sí ìjọba méjì.
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.
Wọn kì yóò sì tún fi àwọn òrìṣà wọn ba ara wọn jẹ́ mọ́, tàbí ohun ìríra wọn, tàbí ohun ìrékọjá wọn: ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò gbà wọn là kúrò nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgàbàgebè wọn, èmi yóò sì wẹ̀ wọn mọ́. Wọn yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi, Èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.
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].
“‘Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi ni yóò jẹ ọba lórí wọn, gbogbo wọn yóò sì ní olùṣọ àgùntàn kan. Wọn yóò sì tẹ̀lé òfin mi, wọn yóò sì ṣe àníyàn láti pa àṣẹ mi mọ́.
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.
Wọn yóò gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí mo fún Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, ilẹ̀ tí àwọn baba yín ń gbé. Àwọn àti àwọn ọmọ wọn àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ wọn ni yóò máa gbé ibẹ̀ láéláé, ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi ni yóò jẹ́ Ọmọ-aládé wọn láéláé.
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.
Èmi yóò dá májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú wọn, yóò sì jẹ́ májẹ̀mú títí ayérayé. Èmi yóò gbé wọn kalẹ̀, èmi yóò sì sọ wọ́n di púpọ̀ ní iye, èmi yóò sì gbé ilé mímọ́ mi kalẹ̀ ní àárín wọn títí láé.
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
Ibùgbé mí yóò wà pẹ̀lú wọn, Èmi yóò jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi.
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].’”
Nígbà náà ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa sọ Israẹli di mímọ́, nígbà tí ibi mímọ́ mi bá wà ní àárín wọn títí ayérayé.’”
