Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of Yahweh and set me down in the midst of a valley; it was full of bones.
Facta est super me manus Domini, et eduxit me in spiritu Domini: et dimisit me in medio campi, qui erat plenus ossibus:
2 Then he made me pass through them round and round. Behold! A great many of them were in the valley. Behold! They were very dry.
Et circumduxit me per ea in gyro: erant autem multa valde super faciem campi, siccaque vehementer.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live again?” So I said, “Lord Yahweh, you alone know.”
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis putasne vivent ossa ista? Et dixi: Domine Deus, tu nosti.
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones. Listen to the word of Yahweh.
Et dixit ad me: Vaticinare de ossibus istis: et dices eis: Ossa arida audite verbum Domini.
5 The Lord Yahweh says this to these bones: Behold! I am about to put breath into you, and you will live.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his: Ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum, et vivetis.
6 I will place sinews over you and bring flesh onto you. I will cover you with skin and put breath within you so you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
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 prophesied as I was commanded; as I prophesied, behold, a sound came, that of shaking. Then the bones drew together—bone against bone.
Et prophetavi sicut præceperat mihi: factus est autem sonitus, prophetante me, et ecce commotio: et accesserunt ossa ad ossa, unumquodque ad iuncturam suam.
8 I looked and, behold, sinews were now on them, and flesh grew up and skin covered them. But there was still no breath in them.
Et vidi, et ecce super ea nervi, et carnes ascenderunt: et extenta est in eis cutis desuper, et spiritum non habebant.
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Breath, come from the four winds, and breathe on these who have been killed, so they may live.'”
Et dixit ad me: Vaticinare ad spiritum, vaticinare fili hominis, et dices ad spiritum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: A quattuor ventis veni spiritus, et insuffla super interfectos istos, et reviviscant.
10 So I prophesied as I was commanded; the breath came into them and they lived. Then they stood on their feet, a very great army.
Et prophetavi sicut præceperat mihi: et ingressus est in ea spiritus, et vixerunt: steteruntque super pedes suos exercitus grandis nimis valde.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the entire house of Israel. Behold! They are saying, 'Our bones have dried up, and our hope is gone. We have been cut off.'
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, ossa hæc universa, domus Israel est: ipsi dicunt: Aruerunt ossa nostra, et periit spes nostra, et abscissi sumus.
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will open your graves and lift you out from them, my people. I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
Propterea vaticinare, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego aperiam tumulos vestros, et educam vos de sepulchris vestris populus meus: et inducam vos in terram Israel.
13 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when I open your graves and bring you out from them, my people.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum aparuero sepulchra vestra, et eduxero vos de tumulis vestris popule meus:
14 I will place my Spirit within you so you will live, and I will cause you to rest in your land when you know that I am Yahweh. I declare and will do it—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
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 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
16 “So now you, son of man, take one stick for yourself and write on it, 'For Judah and for the people of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim, and for all the people of Israel, their companions.'
Et tu fili hominis sume tibi lignum unum: et scribe super illud: Iudæ, et filiorum Israel sociorum eius: et tolle lignum alterum, et scribe super illud: Ioseph ligno Ephraim, et cunctæ domui Israel, sociorumque eius.
17 Bring both of them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
Et adiunge illa, unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum: et erunt in unionem in manu tua.
18 When your people speak to you and say, 'Will you not tell us what these things of yours mean?'
Cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui loquentes: Nonne indicas nobis quid in his tibi velis?
19 then say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am taking the branch of Joseph that is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions and joining it to the branch of Judah, so that they will make one branch, and they will become one in my hand.'
loqueris ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam lignum Ioseph, quod est in manu Ephraim, et tribus Israel, quæ sunt ei adiunctæ: et dabo eas pariter cum ligno Iuda, et faciam eas in lignum unum: et erunt unum in manu eius.
20 Hold in your hand the branches that you wrote on before their eyes.
Erunt autem ligna, super quæ scripseris in manu tua, in oculis eorum.
21 Declare to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am about to take the people of Israel from among the nations where they went. I will gather them from the surrounding lands and I will bring them to their land.
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam filios Israel de medio nationum, ad quas abierunt: et congregabo eos undique, et adducam eos ad humum suam.
22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and there will be one king as king over all of them, and they will no longer be two nations. They will no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
Et faciam eos in gentem unam in terra in montibus Israel, et rex unus erit omnibus imperans: et non erunt ultra duæ gentes, nec dividentur amplius in duo regna.
23 Then they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, their disgusting things, or any of their other sins. For I will save them from all of their faithless actions with which they have sinned, and I will purify them, so they will be my people and I will be their God.
Neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis, et abominationibus suis, et cunctis iniquitatibus suis: et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus, in quibus peccaverunt, et emundabo eos: et erunt mihi populus, et ego ero eis Deus.
24 David my servant will be king over them. So there will be one shepherd over them all, and they will walk according to my decrees and they will keep my statutes and obey them.
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 have given to my servant Jacob, where your fathers had stayed. They will live in it forever—they, their children, and their grandchildren, for David my servant will be their chief 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 establish a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish them and multiply them and set my holy place in their midst forever.
Et percutiam illis fœdus pacis, pactum sempiternum erit eis: et fundabo eos, et multiplicabo, et dabo sanctificationem meam in medio eorum in perpetuum.
27 My dwelling place will be with 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 the nations will know that I am Yahweh who sets Israel apart, when my holy place is among them forever.'”
Et scient Gentes quia ego Dominus sanctificator Israel, cum fuerit sanctificatio mea in medio eorum in perpetuum.
