Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,
Aka nke Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m, o sitekwara nʼike Mmụọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bulie m, debe m nʼetiti ndagwurugwu nke jupụtara nʼọkpụkpụ.
2 And caused me to pass by them around: and behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and lo, [they were] very dry.
O mere ka m jegharịa nʼetiti ha. Ahụrụ m ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, nke dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, ka ha ghasa na ndagwurugwu ahụ.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? and I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a ha pụrụ ịdị ndị ọzọ?” Asịrị m, “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ naanị gị onwe gị maara.”
4 Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, gwa ha, ‘Unu ọkpụkpụ niile kpọrọ nkụ, geenụ ntị nʼokwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa ọkpụkpụ ndị a. Lee, aga m eme ka ume baa nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ.
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Aga m etinyekwasị unu akwara, na anụ ahụ, werekwa akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchie unu. Aga m etinye ume nʼime unu, unu ga-adịkwa ndụ. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka e sị nye m nʼiwu. Mgbe m nọ na-ebu amụma ahụ, anụrụ m ụzụ, ụzụ mkpọtụ. Ma lee, ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ niile bịara ibe ha nso; ọkpụkpụ malitekwara ijikọta onwe ha ọnụ.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.
Mgbe m nọkwa na-ele anya, lee, ahụrụ m ka akwara na anụ ahụ malitere ịbịakwasị nʼelu ọkpụkpụ ndị ahụ, akpụkpọ ahụ kpuchikwara elu ha. Ma nʼoge a ume ọbụla adịghị nʼime ha.
9 Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Buo amụma nye ifufe; buo amụma, nwa nke mmadụ, sị ifufe, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: site nʼakụkụ anọ nke ụwa bịa, gị ume na-enye ndụ, kukwasị ndị a e gburu egbu ka ha dịkwa ndụ ọzọ.’”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ya mere, eburu m amụma dịka o si nye m nʼiwu. Ume ndụ banyekwara nʼime ha. Ha niile dịịrị ndụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ ha, ghọọ usuu ndị agha dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.
11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọkpụkpụ ndị a nọchiri anya ụlọ Izrel niile. Ha na-asị, ‘Anyị aghọọla ọkpụkpụ kpọrọ nkụ, olileanya niile agwụkwala, anyị abụrụla ndị e bipụrụ.’
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Nʼihi ya, buo amụma gwa ha, ‘otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ndị m, aga m emeghe ili unu, si nʼebe ahụ wepụta unu. Aga m eme ka unu lọghachitakwa nʼala Izrel.
13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you out of your graves,
Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe m meghere ili unu mee ka unu si nʼime ya pụta, unu bụ ndị m ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
Aga m etinye Mmụọ m nʼime unu, unu ga-adị ndụ, lọghachikwa nʼala unu ọzọ. Unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ekwuola ya, meekwa ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
15 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
“Nwa nke mmadụ, were osisi dee ihe ndị a nʼelu ya, ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Juda na ndị Izrel e kekọtara ya na ha ọnụ.’ Werekwa osisi ọzọ deekwa okwu ndị a nʼelu ya. ‘Osisi a nọchiri anya Ifrem, na Josef, na ndị Izrel niile e jikọtara ha na ndị a ọnụ.’
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
Jidekọtaa osisi abụọ ndị a ọnụ, mee ka ha bụrụ otu osisi nʼaka gị.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou [meanest] by these?
“Mgbe ndị gị jụrụ gị, ‘Ị gaghị egosi anyị ihe nke a pụtara?’
19 Say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
gwa ha, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Lee, agaje m iwere osisi Josef, nke dị Ifrem nʼaka, nke bụkwa ihe nọchiri anya ebo ụfọdụ ndị Izrel, jidekọtaa ya na osisi nọchiri anya Juda, mee ha ka ha ghọọ otu osisi, bụrụkwa otu nʼaka m.’
20 And the sticks on which thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
Were mkpirisi osisi ndị ahụ i dere ihe nke dị nʼaka gị, gosi ha,
21 And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
ma gwakwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m esite na mba niile ndị Izrel jere biri kpọpụta ha. Aga m achịkọtakwa ha site nʼakụkụ niile, kpọbata ha nʼala nke aka ha.
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Aga m eme ha ka ha bụrụ otu mba nʼala ahụ, nʼugwu niile nke Izrel. Ha ga-enwe naanị otu eze nke ga-achị ha niile. Ha agaghị abụkwa mba abụọ maọbụ alaeze abụọ ọzọ.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Ha agaghị ejikwa arụsị ha niile, maọbụ ihe a pịrị apị rụrụ arụ, maọbụ jiri ihe ọjọọ ndị ọzọ dị iche iche merụọ onwe ha ọzọ. Nʼihi na aga m azọpụta ha site na ịlaghachi azụ nʼụzọ mmehie ha niile, meekwa ka ha dị ọcha. Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
“‘Ohu m, Devid, ga-abụ eze ga-achị ha, ha ga-enwekwa otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ. Ha ga-edebezu iwu m niile, na ụkpụrụ m niile.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.
Ha ga-ebi nʼala ahụ m nyere ohu m Jekọb, ala ebe nna nna ha biri. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-ebi nʼime ya. Ụmụ ụmụ ha ruo ọgbọ niile ga-ebikwa nʼime ya. Ohu m Devid ga-abụ eze ha ruo ebighị ebi.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Mụ na ha ga-agba ndụ udo, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Aga m agọzi ha, mee ka ha baa ụba. Nʼetiti ha kwa ka ụlọnsọ m ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ebe obibi m ga-abụkwa nʼetiti ha. E, aga m abụ Chineke ha, ha ga-abụkwa ndị m.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
Mgbe ụlọnsọ m ga-adị nʼetiti ha ruo ebighị ebi, mba niile ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-edo Izrel nsọ.’”
