Hezekiel 37
1 Yehowa ƒe asi va dzinye, eye Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ kplɔm do goe, eye wòdam ɖe balime aɖe ƒe titina; balime la yɔ fũu kple ƒuwo.
It was on me [the] hand of Yahweh and he brought out me by [the] spirit of Yahweh and he set down me in [the] middle of the valley and it [was] full bones.
2 Ekplɔm tso afii yi afi mɛ le wo dome, eye mekpɔ ƒu geɖewo le balime la ƒe anyigba. Ƒuawo ƒu kplakplakpla.
And he made pass by me at them all around - all around and there! many [bones] very [were] on [the] surface of the valley and there! [they were] dry very.
3 Ebiam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo ate ŋu anɔ agbea?” Megblɔ be, “O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wò ɖeka koe nya.”
And he said to me O son of humankind ¿ will they live the bones these and I said O Lord Yahweh you you know.
4 Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ƒu siawo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ƒu ƒuƒuwo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya.
And he said to me prophesy to the bones these and you will say to them O bones dry hear [the] word of Yahweh.
5 Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na ƒu siawoe nye, mana gbɔgbɔ nage ɖe mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the bones these here! I [am] about to bring in you breath and you will live.
6 Made lãmeka mia me, lã naɖo mia ŋu, eye mafa ayi ɖe mia ŋu. Made yagbɔgbɔ mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
And I will give to you sinews and I will bring up over you flesh and I will cover over you skin and I will put in you breath and you will live and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
7 Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene. Esi menɔ nya la gblɔm ɖi la, hoowɔwɔ sesẽ aɖe ɖi, eye ƒuawo ƒo ƒu hetɔ ɖe wo nɔewo nu.
And I prophesied just as I was commanded and it came a sound when prophesied I and there! a rattling and they drew near [the] bones bone to bone its.
8 Meda ŋku ɖi, eye mekpɔ lãmekawo kple lã ɖo ƒuawo ŋu eye ayi fa ɖe wo ŋu, gake gbɔgbɔ mege ɖe wo me o.
And I saw and there! [were] on them sinews and flesh it came up and it covered over them skin from to above and [was] breath there not in them.
9 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ya, gblɔ nya ɖi, Ame vi, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Va, o, gbɔgbɔ, va tso ya eneawo me, eye nàgbɔ ɖe ame siwo wowu la me be woagbɔ agbe.’”
And he said to me prophesy to the breath prophesy O son of humankind and you will say to the breath thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh from four winds come O breath and blow on the killed ones these so they may live.
10 Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene, eye gbɔgbɔ ge ɖe wo me. Wogbɔ agbe, eye wotsi tsitre; aʋakɔ gã aɖee.
And I prophesied just as he commanded me and it came in them the breath and they lived and they stood on feet their an army great very very.
11 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo nye Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la. Wobe, ‘Míaƒe ƒuwo ƒu kplakplakpla; míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ bu; woɖe mí ɖa.’
And he said to me O son of humankind the bones these [are] all [the] house of Israel they there! [they are] saying they have dried up bones our and it has been lost hope our we have been cut off ourselves.
12 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: O, nye amewo, mele miaƒe yɔdowo ʋu ge, eye maɖe mi tso wo me: magbugbɔ mi ava Israelnyigba dzi.
Therefore prophesy and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to open graves your and I will bring up you from graves your O people my and I will bring you into [the] land of Israel.
13 Ekema mi, nye amewo, mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne meʋu miaƒe yɔdowo, eye meɖe mi do goe tso wo me.
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when open I graves your and when bring up I you from graves your O people my.
14 Made nye Gbɔgbɔ mia me, mianɔ agbe, eye mana mianɔ miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe anyigba dzi. Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowa, meƒo nu, eye mewɔe hã; Yehowae gblɔe.’”
And I will put spirit my in you and you will live and I will set down you on own land your and you will know that I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act [the] utterance of Yahweh.
15 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
16 “Ame vi, tsɔ ati aɖe, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Enye Yuda kple Israelvi siwo dea ha kplii la tɔ.’ Emegbe la, nàtsɔ ati bubu, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Efraim ƒe ati, enye Yosef kple Israel ƒe aƒe siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ.’
And you O son of humankind take yourself a piece of wood one and write on it for Judah and for [the] people of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and take a piece of wood one and write on it for Joseph [the] piece of wood of Ephraim and all [the] house of Israel (associates its. *Q(K)*)
17 Tɔ wo ɖe wo nɔewo nu ale be woazu ɖeka le wò asi me.
And bring near them one to one yourself into a piece of wood one and they will become one in hand your.
18 “Ne mia detɔwo bia wò be, ‘magblɔ nu si nèfia to esia me na mí oa?’ la,
And just when they will say to you [the] children of people your saying ¿ not will you tell to us what? [are] these [things] to you.
19 nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsɔ Yosef ƒe ati, ati si le Efraim ƒe asi me la kple Israel ƒe to siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ, eye matɔe ɖe Yuda ƒe ati nu, eye woazu ɖeka le nye asi me.’
Speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] piece of wood of Joseph which [is] in [the] hand of Ephraim and [the] tribes of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and I will put them with it [the] piece of wood of Judah and I will make them into a piece of wood one and they will be one in hand my.
20 Lé ati siwo dzi nèŋlɔ nu ɖo la ɖe woƒe ŋkume,
And they will be the pieces of wood which you will write on them in hand your to eyes their.
21 eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Maɖe Israelviwo ɖa tso dukɔ siwo me woyi la me. Maƒo wo nu ƒu tso teƒeawo katã, eye makplɔ wo ava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
And speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] people of Israel from between the nations where they have gone there and I will gather them from round about and I will bring them into own land their.
22 Mawɔ wo dukɔ ɖekae le anyigba la dzi, le Israel ƒe towo dzi. Fia ɖeka aɖu wo katã dzi, womaganye dukɔ eve akpɔ o loo alo woama wo ɖe fiaɖuƒe eve me o.
And I will make them into a nation one in the land on [the] mountains of Israel and a king one he will become of all of them king and not (they will become *Q(K)*) again two nations and not they will be divided again into two kingdoms again.
23 Womagagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo kple woƒe legbawo alo ametikpakpɛ nyɔŋuwo alo kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dometɔ aɖeke o, elabena maɖe wo tso woƒe megbededewo katã me, eye makɔ wo ŋu. Woanye nye amewo, eye manye woƒe Mawu.
And not they will make themselves unclean again by idols their and by abominations their and by all transgressions their and I will save them from all dwelling places their which they have sinned in them and I will cleanse them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
24 “‘Nye dɔla, David anye woƒe fia, eye kplɔla ɖeka anɔ wo si. Woazɔ ɖe nye seawo nu, eye woalé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi.
And servant my David [will be] king over them and a shepherd one he will belong to all of them and in judgments my they will walk and statutes my they will keep and they will do them.
25 Woanɔ anyigba si metsɔ na nye dɔla Yakob, anyigba si dzi mia fofowo nɔ la dzi. Woawo kple wo viwo kple wo viwo ƒe viwo anɔ afi ma tegbetegbe, eye David, nye dɔla, anye woƒe fiaviŋutsu tegbetegbe.
And they will dwell on the land which I gave to servant my to Jacob which they dwelt in it ancestors your and they will dwell on it they and children their and [the] children of children their until perpetuity and David servant my [will be] prince of them for ever.
26 Mawɔ ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla kpli wo, wòanye nubabla mavɔ. Maɖo wo gɔme anyi, madzi woƒe xexlẽme ɖe edzi, eye mali ke nye kɔkɔeƒe la ɖe wo dome tegbetegbe.
And I will make to them a covenant of peace a covenant of perpetuity it will be with them and I will give them and I will increase them and I will put sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
27 Nye nɔƒe anɔ wo dome; manye woƒe Mawu, eye woanye nye amewo.
And it will be dwelling place my with them and I will become for them God and they they will become for me a people.
28 Ekema dukɔwo anya be, nye Aƒetɔ lae wɔ Israel kɔkɔe le esime nye Kɔkɔeƒe la le wo dome tegbetegbe.’”
And they will know the nations that I Yahweh [am] sanctifying Israel when is sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
