< Ezekieli 37 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, guoko kwa Jehova nĩ kwagĩire igũrũ rĩakwa, ngĩoywo nĩ Roho wa Jehova akĩndwara handũ gĩtuamba-inĩ gatagatĩ; nakĩo kĩaiyũrĩte mahĩndĩ.
The hand of Yahweh, being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, —and the same was full of bones;
2 Nake akĩndongoria akĩnjeeria kũu maarĩ, na ngĩona mahĩndĩ maingĩ mũno maaraganĩte kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩu, na mahĩndĩ macio maarĩ momũ mũno.
and he caused me to pass near them. round about on every side, —and lo! they were very many on the face of the plain, and lo! they were very dry.
3 Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, mahĩndĩ maya-rĩ, no macooke muoyo?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, wee nowe wiki ũũĩ.”
Then said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones, live? And I said My Lord Yahweh, thou, knowest!
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rathĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mahĩndĩ maya momũ, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova!
Then said he unto me, Prophesy, over these bones, —and thou shalt say unto them, Ye bones so dry! hear ye the word of Yahweh!
5 Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũũ: Nĩngũtũma mũgĩe na mĩhũmũ, na inyuĩ nĩmũgũcooka muoyo.
Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, — Lo! I am about to bring into you— spirit, and ye shall live;
6 Nĩngũmwĩkĩra mĩkiha, na ndũme mũgĩe na nyama na ndĩmũhumbĩre na gĩkonde; nĩngũmwĩkĩra mĩhũmũ, na nĩmũgũcooka muoyo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
Yea I will lay upon you—sinews, And bring up over you flesh. And cover over you—skin, And put in you—spirit And ye shall live, Then shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩratha ũhoro o ta ũrĩa ndaathĩtwo. Na rĩrĩa ndaarathaga, hakĩgĩa na inegene, mũgambo wa gũkaragacana, namo mahĩndĩ macio magĩcookanĩrĩra, o ihĩndĩ rĩgĩcookerera ihĩndĩ rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire.
And when I prophesied as I was commanded, then was there a noise, as I prophesied and lo! a rattling, and the bones came near, each bone unto its own bone.
8 Na niĩ ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona maagĩa mĩkiha na nyama, nakĩo gĩkonde gĩkĩmahumbĩra, no matiarĩ na mĩhũmũ.
And when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within them.
9 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rathĩra mĩhũmũ ũhoro; mũrũ wa mũndũ, mĩrathĩre ũhoro ũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ũkai inyuĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo muumĩte mĩena ĩna ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho, na mwĩkĩre mĩhũmũ thĩinĩ wa aya moragĩtwo, nĩguo macooke muoyo.’”
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain That they may live.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩratha ũhoro o ta ũrĩa aanjathĩte, nayo mĩhũmũ ĩkĩmatoonya; nao makĩgĩa muoyo, makĩĩrũgamia na magũrũ mao, nao magĩkorwo marĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita.
And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, mahĩndĩ maya nĩmo andũ a nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mahĩndĩ maitũ nĩmomũ, naguo mwĩhoko witũ nĩmũthiru; na ithuĩ nĩtũeheretio.’
Then said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, — Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite cut off!
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, marathĩre ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Inyuĩ andũ akwa, nĩngũhingũra mbĩrĩra cianyu ndĩmwambatie muume kũu; nĩngũmũcookia bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli.
Therefore prophesy and thou shalt say unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo I myself am going to open your graves And will cause you to come up out of your graves. O my people, — And will bring you upon the soil of Israel.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaahingũra mbĩrĩra cianyu ndĩmwambatie muume kuo, inyuĩ andũ aya akwa.
So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, — When I open your graves. And cause you to come up out of your graves O my people,
14 Nĩngamwĩkĩra Roho wakwa, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatũũra muoyo, na nĩngamũtwara bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ wanyu kĩũmbe mũgatũũre kuo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na nĩ niĩ njĩkĩte ũguo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’”
And I will put my spirit within you and ye shall live, And I will settle you upon your own soil, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh have spoken and have performed. Declareth Yahweh.
15 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
16 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, oya gathanju ka mũtĩ wandĩke igũrũ rĩako atĩrĩ, ‘Gaka nĩ ka Juda na andũ a Isiraeli arĩa makuruhanĩte nake.’ Ningĩ woe gathanju kangĩ ka mũtĩ wandĩke igũrũ rĩako atĩrĩ, ‘Gathanju ka Efiraimu, karĩa ka Jusufu na andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli arĩa makuruhanĩte nake.’
Thou therefore Son of man Take thee one stick, and write upon it For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions.
17 Tũnyiitithanie tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe nĩguo tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe guoko-inĩ gwaku.
Then bring them near—the one to the other —for thee into one stick, - And they shall become united in thy hand.
18 “Rĩrĩa andũ anyu magaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ũtangĩtwĩra gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ maya ũreka?’
And when the sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, - Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to thee?
19 ũkaamacookeria, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnguoya gathanju kau ka Jusufu na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli ĩyo ĩkuruhanĩte nake, o kau karĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Efiraimu, ndĩkoohanie hamwe na gathanju ka Juda, tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe, natuo tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe guoko-inĩ gwakwa.’
speak unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I, myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph. which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, — And I will place them upon it even upon the stick of Judah. And will make of them one stick, And they shall become one in my hand.
20 Nyiita tũthanju tũu wandĩkĩte maitho-inĩ mao,
And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand before their eyes.
21 ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngaruta andũ a Isiraeli kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa maathiĩte. Nĩngamacookanĩrĩria ndĩmarute kũrĩa guothe marĩ, na ndĩmacookie bũrũri wao kĩũmbe.
Therefore speak thou unto them Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I myself, am going to take the sons of Israel, from among the nations whither they have gone, — And I will gather them from every side, And will bring them in upon their own soil;
22 Nĩngamatua rũrĩrĩ rũmwe marĩ kũu bũrũri ũcio, o kũu irĩma-igũrũ cia Isiraeli. Gũkaagĩa mũthamaki ũmwe igũrũ rĩao othe, na matigacooka rĩngĩ gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ igĩrĩ, kana magayũkanio matuĩke mothamaki meerĩ.
And will make of them one nation in the land. among the mountains of Israel, And one king, shall they all have for king, —And they shall remain no longer two nations, Nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more.
23 Matigethaahia rĩngĩ na mĩhianano yao, kana mĩhiano mĩũru, kana waganu wao o wothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩngamahonokia matige gũcooka na thuutha nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao, na nĩngamatheria. Magaatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
Neither shall they defile themselves any more With their manufactured gods or With their detestable things, or With any of their transgressions, - But I will save them out of all their dwelling- places, wherein they have sinned, And I will cleanse them And they shall become my people, And I, will become their God.
24 “‘Daudi ndungata yakwa nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki wao, nao othe magĩe na mũrĩithi ũmwe. Nĩmakarũmĩrĩra mawatho makwa na mamenyerere watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
And my servant David shall be king over them, And one shepherd, shall they all have, And in my regulations, shall they walk, And my statutes, shall they observe and do them.
25 Magaatũũra bũrũri ũcio ndaaheire ndungata yakwa Jakubu, bũrũri ũrĩa maithe manyu maatũũraga. O ene, hamwe na ciana ciao, o na ciana cia ciana ciao, magaatũũra kuo nginya tene, nake Daudi ndungata yakwa atuĩke mũnene wao nginya tene.
And they shall dwell upon the land. which I gave to my servant- to Jacob, Wherein your fathers dwelt, — Yea they shall dwell thereupon. They, and their children and their children’s children Unto times age-abiding, And David my servant shall be prince unto them Unto times age-abiding.
26 Nĩngarĩĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ nao; nakĩo gĩgaatuĩka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene. Nĩngamahaanda na ndũme maingĩhe, na nĩngahaanda handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nginya tene.
And I will solemnise to them a covenant of prosperity, A covenant age-abiding, shall it be with them, — And I will place them. And multiply them, And set my sanctuary in the midst of them. Unto times age-abiding.
27 Ningĩ gĩikaro gĩakwa gĩgaatũũra hamwe nao; nĩngatuĩka Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.
And my habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God, - And they, shall become my people,
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ nduuaga andũ a Isiraeli atheru, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre hagaatũũra hamwe nao nginya tene.’”
So shall the nations know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing Israel, - When my sanctuary is in the midst of them Unto times age-abiding.
