Ezekiel 37

1 There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,

١ وَكَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى وَسَطِ وَادٍ مَلِيءٍ بِعِظَامٍ،

2 and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.

٢ وَجَعَلَنِي أَجْتَازُ بَيْنَهَا وَحَوْلَهَا، وَإذَا بِها كَثِيرَةٌ جِدّاً، تُغَطِّي سَطْحَ أَرْضِ الْوَادِي، كَمَا كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةَ الْيُبُوسَةِ.

3 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, 'O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.'

٣ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَيُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَحْيَا هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ».

4 And He saith unto me, 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:

٤ فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْعِظَامِ وَقُلْ لَهَا: اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الْعِظَامُ الْيَابِسَةُ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ:

5 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,

٥ هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رُوحاً يَدْخُلُ فِيكِ فَتَحْيَيْنِ.

6 and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'

٦ وَأَكْسُوكِ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ، وَأَبْسُطُ عَلَيْكِ جِلْداً وَأَجْعَلُ فِيكِ رُوحاً فَتَحْيَيْنِ وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

7 And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.

٧ وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، حَدَثَ صَوْتُ جَلَبَةٍ وَزَلْزَلَةٍ، فَتَقَارَبَتِ الْعِظَامُ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ إِلَى عَظْمِهِ،

8 And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none in them.

٨ وَاكْتَسَتْ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ وَبُسِطَ عَلَيْهَا الْجِلْدُ. إِنَّمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا رُوحٌ

9 And He saith unto me: 'Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'

٩ فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ لِلرُّوحِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَيَّا يَا رُوحُ أَقْبِلْ مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ الأَرْبَعِ وَهُبَّ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ الْقَتْلَى لِيَحْيَوْا».

10 And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.

١٠ فَتَنَبَّأْتُ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ، فَدَخَلَ فِيهِمِ الرُّوحُ فَدَبَّتْ فِيهِمِ الْحَيَاةُ، وَانْتَصَبُوا عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ جَيْشاً عَظِيماً جِدّاً جِدّاً.

11 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.

١١ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ هِيَ جُمْلَةُ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ عِظَامُنَا وَمَاتَ رَجَاؤُنَا وَانْقَطَعْنَا.

12 Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.

١٢ لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقْلُ لَهُمْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَا شَعْبِي وَأُحْضِرُكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

13 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.

١٣ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَا شَعْبِي.

14 And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.'

١٤ وَأَضَعُ رُوحِي فِيكُمْ فَتَحْيَوْنَ، وَأَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأَنْجَزْتُ مَا وَعَدْتُ بِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

15 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

١٥ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

16 'And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,

١٦ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، خُذْ لَكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيَهُوذَا وَلأَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، ثُمَّ خُذْ قَضِيباً آخَرَ وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيُوسُفَ، قَضِيبُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ.

17 and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.

١٧ وَضُمَّهُمَا مَعاً كَقَضِيبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَيُصْبِحَا فِي يَدِكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً.

18 'And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?

١٨ وَإذَا سَأَلَكَ أَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ: أَلا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا؟

19 Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.

١٩ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ قَضِيبَ يُوسُفَ الَّذِي فِي حَوْزَةِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، وَأَضُمُّ إِلَيْهِ قَضِيبَ يَهُوذَا، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ جَمِيعاً قَضِيباً وَاحِداً فَيُصْبِحُونَ وَاحِداً فِي يَدِي.

20 And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,

٢٠ وَيَكُونُ فِي يَدِكَ، عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمُ الْقَضِيبَانِ اللَّذَانِ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمَا.

21 and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.

٢١ وَهَا أَنَا أَحْشِدُ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا فِيهَا وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ.

22 And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.

٢٢ وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَعَلَى الْجِبَالِ، تَحْتَ رِيَاسَةِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَلا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ أُمَّتَيْنِ، وَلا يَنْقَسِمُونَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتَيْنِ.

23 Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for God.

٢٣ وَلا يَتَدَنَّسُونَ بَعْدُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ وَلا بِأَيٍّ مِنْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ، بَلْ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنْ مَوَاطِنِ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ فَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

24 And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.

٢٤ وَيُصْبِحُ دَاوُدُ عَبْدِي مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ جَمِيعاً رَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ فَيُمَارِسُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَيُطِيعُونَ فَرَائِضِي عَامِلِينَ بِها.

25 And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.

٢٥ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا هُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَأَحْفَادُهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَيَكُونُ عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيساً عَلَيْهِمْ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

26 And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.

٢٦ وَأُبْرِمُ مَعَهُمْ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ، فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا، وَأُوَطِّنُهُمْ وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَأُقِيمُ مَقْدِسِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

27 And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.

٢٧ وَيَكُونُ مَسْكَنِي مَعَهُمْ، فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً.

28 And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!'

٢٨ فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حِينَ يَكُونُ مَقْدِسِي قَائِماً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».
