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 LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in the LORD’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it 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.
He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, 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.”
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rathĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mahĩndĩ maya momũ, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova!
Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.
5 Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra mahĩndĩ maya ũũ: Nĩngũtũma mũgĩe na mĩhũmũ, na inyuĩ nĩmũgũcooka muoyo.
The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will 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.’”
I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
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.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 Na niĩ ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona maagĩa mĩkiha na nyama, nakĩo gĩkonde gĩkĩmahumbĩra, no matiarĩ na mĩhũmũ.
I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in 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 he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on 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.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly 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 he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely 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 tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into Eretz-Israel.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaahingũra mbĩrĩra cianyu ndĩmwambatie muume kuo, inyuĩ andũ aya akwa.
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, 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.’”
I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
15 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
The LORD’s word came again to 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.’
“You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’
17 Tũnyiitithanie tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe nĩguo tũtuĩke rũthanju rũmwe guoko-inĩ gwaku.
Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 “Rĩrĩa andũ anyu magaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ũtangĩtwĩra gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ maya ũreka?’
“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
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.’
tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 Nyiita tũthanju tũu wandĩkĩte maitho-inĩ mao,
The sticks on which you write will be in your 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.
Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from amongst the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
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.
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
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.
They won’t 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 they will be my people, and I will be 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.
“‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, 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.
They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
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.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary amongst them forever more.
27 Ningĩ gĩikaro gĩakwa gĩgaatũũra hamwe nao; nĩngatuĩka Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.
My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be 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.’”
The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is amongst them forever more.”’”
