Ezekyèl 37
1 Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' nan yon fon ki te plen zosman.
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 Li fè m' pwonmennen nan tout fon an, nan mitan zosman yo. Mwen wè te gen anpil anpil zosman atè nan fon an. Zosman yo te fin chèch nèt.
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 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske zosman sa yo ka tounen vivan ankò? Mwen reponn: -Seyè sèl Mèt la, se ou ki konnen!
Then said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones, live? And I said My Lord Yahweh, thou, knowest!
4 Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: -Bay mesaj sa a pou zosman yo. W'a di zosman ki fin chèch yo pou yo koute pawòl Seyè a.
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 Wi, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral fè yon van soufle sou nou pou nou ka tounen vivan ankò.
Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, — Lo! I am about to bring into you— spirit, and ye shall live;
6 M'ap mete venn sou nou, m'ap fè vyann pouse sou nou, m'ap kouvri nou ak po. M'ap mete souf nan nou, m'ap fè nou viv ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
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 Mwen bay mesaj Bondye a jan li te ban m' lòd la. Antan m'ap pale konsa, mwen tande yon gwo bri, zosman yo pran deplase jouk yo jwenn plas yo yonn bò kote lòt.
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 Mwen gade, mwen wè zosman yo te gen venn sou yo. Vyann t'ap pouse sou yo. Lèfini po kouvri yo tout. Men pa t' gen souf nan yo.
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 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a, pale ak van an. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Vini non! Soti nan kat bòn direksyon yo. Soufle sou tout mò sa yo, fè yo tounen vivan ankò.
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 Se konsa, mwen bay mesaj la, jan li te ban m' lòd la. Souf la antre nan kadav yo, yo vin vivan ankò, yo kanpe sou de pye yo. Te gen anpil anpil moun, kont pou fè yon gwo lame.
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 Bondye di mwen: -Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tankou zosman sa yo. Y'ap di: Nou fin deperi, nou pa gen espwa ankò. Nou fini nèt.
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 Se poutèt sa, ba yo mesaj sa a. Di yo konsa: Men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral louvri tonm yo. Mwen pral fè yo soti ladan yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.
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 Wi, m'a louvri tonm kote pèp mwen an te antere a, m'a fè yo soti nan tonm yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
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 M'ap mete souf mwen nan yo, m'ap fè yo tounen vivan ankò. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa m' te di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l' vre. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
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 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
16 -Nonm o! Pran yon moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jida ak moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo. Lèfini, pran yon lòt moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jozèf osinon Efrayim ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo.
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 Pran de moso bwa yo, kole yo bout pou bout, kenbe yo yon jan pou yo parèt tankou si se yon sèl bout bwa ou gen nan men ou.
Then bring them near—the one to the other —for thee into one stick, - And they shall become united in thy hand.
18 Lè moun pèp ou yo va mande ou: Manyè di nou sa sa vle di.
And when the sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, - Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to thee?
19 W'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Mwen pral pran bout bwa ki kanpe pou Jozèf osinon Efrayim ansanm ak branch fanmi Izrayèl k'ap mache ak li yo, m'ap mete l' ansanm ak bout bwa Jida a. M'ap fè yo fè yon sèl bout bwa. Epi, m'ap kenbe yo nan men mwen.
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 Kenbe de bout bwa yo nan men ou pou tout pèp la ka wè yo.
And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand before their eyes.
21 Lèfini, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral mache chache dènye moun pèp mwen an nan mitan tout nasyon kote yo te ale a. M'ap sanble yo soti toupatou, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a.
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 M'ap fè yo tounen yon sèl pèp nan peyi a ankò, sou mòn Izrayèl yo. Yo pral gen yon sèl wa pou gouvènen yo. Yo p'ap fè de peyi ankò. Yo p'ap fè de gouvènman ankò.
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 Yo pa pral avili tèt yo ankò nan fè sèvis pou zidòl, nan fè bagay derespektan devan Bondye, nan fè sa yo pa t' gen dwa fè. M'ap delivre yo anba tout zidòl ki te fè yo vire do ban mwen an, ki te fè yo fè peche a. M'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka sèvi m' ankò. Y'ap tounen yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'ap Bondye yo.
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 Yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, va chèf yo. Yo tout pral fè yonn anba yon sèl gadò. Y'a mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo, y'a fè tou sa mwen mande yo fè, y'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
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 Y'ap rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan, peyi kote zansèt yo te viv la. Yo pral viv la pou tout tan, yo menm, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo pou tout tan. Se yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, ki pral gouvènen yo pou tout tan gen tan.
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 M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo k'ap garanti yo lavi ak kè poze pou tout tan. M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, m'ap fè yo peple. M'ap fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo.
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 Se la m'ap viv avèk yo. Se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Yo menm, se pèp ki rele m' pa m' lan y'ap ye.
And my habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God, - And they, shall become my people,
28 Wi, m'a fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, lòt nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka viv apa pou mwen.
So shall the nations know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing Israel, - When my sanctuary is in the midst of them Unto times age-abiding.
