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,
I pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau, a kawea ana ahau, ara e to Ihowa wairua, tukua iho ana ahau e ia ki waenganui o te raorao; na kapi tonu a reira i te wheua.
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.
Na ka whakahaereerea ahau e ia ki te taha o aua wheua a taka noa, taka noa; na, he tini ke i runga i te mata o te raorao; nana, he maroke rawa aua mea.
3 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, 'O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.'
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e ora ranei enei wheua? Ano ra ko ahau, E mohio ana koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.
4 And He saith unto me, 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Poropiti ki enei whenua, mea atu ki a ratou, E nga wheua maroke nei, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
5 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki enei wheua, Nana, ka meinga e ahau he manawa kia tomo ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou.
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.'
A ka hoatu e ahau he uaua ki runga ki a koutou, ka whakaputaina ake he kikokiko ki a koutou, ka hipokina koutou ki te kiri, ka hoatu ano e ahau he manawa ki roto ki a koutou, na ka ora koutou; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
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.
Heoi poropititia ana e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau; a, i ahau e poropiti ana, na he haruru, na he ru, a whakatata ana nga wheua, tona wheua ki tona wheua.
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.
A ka titiro atu ahau, nana, he uaua i runga i a ratou, kua puta ake he kikokiko, a he kiri e hipoki ana i waho ake i a ratou: otiia kahore he manawa i roto i a ratou.
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.'
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Poropiti ki te hau, poropiti, e te tama a te tangata, mea atu hoki ki te hau, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Haere mai i nga hau e wha, e te manawa, e ha ki runga ki tenei hunga kua oti nei te patu, kia ora ai rat ou.
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.
Heoi ka poropititia e ahau te mea i whakahaua e ia ki ahau; na ko te taenga mai o te manawa ki roto ki a ratou, kua ora, tu ana i runga i o ratou waewae, he ope tino nui.
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.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko enei wheua ko te whare katoa o Iharaira: nana, kei te ki ake ratou, Kua maroke o tatou wheua, kua ngaro ta tatou i tumanako ai; kua motuhia ketia tatou.
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.
Mo reira poropiti, ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, e taku iwi, ka huakina ake e ahau o koutou urupa, ka meinga kia puta ake hoki koutou i o koutou urupa, ka kawea ki te oneone o Iharaira.
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.
A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina huakina e ahau o koutou urupa, e taku iwi, a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia puta ake i o koutou urupa.
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.'
A ka hoatu e ahau toku wairua ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou, a ka whakanohoia koutou e ahau ki to koutou ake oneone: ko reira koutou mohio ai, naku, na Ihowa, i korero, a naku ano i mahi, e ai ta Ihowa.
15 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
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,
Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina tetahi rakau mau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hura, mo ona hoa ano, mo nga tama a Iharaira: na tikina atu ano tetahi rakau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hohepa, ko te rakau o Eparaima, mo ona hoa hoki, mo te w hare katoa o Iharaira.
17 and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.
Na me hono raua, tetahi ki tetahi; a hei rakau kotahi raua i roto i tou ringa.
18 'And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?
Na ki te korero nga tamariki a tou iwi ki a koe, ki te mea, E kore ianei e whakaaturia e koe ki a matou he aha te tikanga o enei mea au?
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.
Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ka mau ahau ki te rakau o Hohepa, ki tera i te ringa o Eparaima, ki ona hoa ano, ki nga iwi o Iharaira; a ka whakatakotoria ratou e ahau ki tera, ara ki te rakau o Hura, ka meinga ho ki raua hei rakau kotahi, a ka kotahi tonu raua i roto i toku ringa.
20 And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,
Na, ko nga rakau e tuhituhi ai koe ki runga, hei roto i tou ringa i to ratou aroaro.
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.
A ka mea atu koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka tangohia e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i nga iwi i haere atu nei ratou, ka kohikohia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ka kawea ki to ratou oneone.
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.
Ka meinga hoki ratou e ahau hei iwi kotahi ki te whenua, ki nga maunga o Iharaira; a kotahi tonu he kingi hei kingi mo ratou katoa; kore ake o ratou iwi e rua i muri nei, heoi rawa o ratou wehenga kia rua kingitanga.
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.
Kore ake ano o ratou poke i a ratou whakapakoko, i a ratou mea whakarihariha, i o ratou kino katoa: engari ka whakaorangia ratou e ahau i o ratou nohoanga katoa, i nga wahi i hara ai ratou, ka purea: ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku, ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou.
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.
Ko taku pononga hoki, ko Rawiri hei kingi mo ratou; a kotahi tonu te hepara mo ratou katoa: ka haere hoki ratou i runga i aku ritenga, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, ka mahi.
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.
A ka noho ratou i te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki te wahi i noho ai o koutou matua; ka noho ano ratou ki reira, ratou, a ratou tama, me nga tama ano a a ratou tama a ake ake: a ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri hei rangatira m o ratou a ake ake.
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.
Ka whakaritea ano e ahau te kawenata mo te rongo mau ki a ratou; hei kawenata mau tonu tena ki a ratou; ka whakanohoia ano ratou e ahau, ka whakanuia, ka whakaturia ano e ahau toku wahi tapu ki waenganui i a ratou a ake ake.
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.
Na ki a ratou toku tapenakara: a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou ano hei iwi maku.
28 And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!'
A ka mohio nga tauiwi ko ahau a Ihowa e whakatapu nei i a Iharaira, i te mea kei waenganui nei toku wahi tapu i a ratou a ake ake.
