Ezekyèl 37
1 Men SENYÈ a te sou mwen, Li te mennen mwen sòti pa Lespri SENYÈ a, e te depoze m nan mitan vale a. Konsa, vale a te plen ak zo.
The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
2 Li te fè m pase toutotou nan yo, e gade byen, te gen anpil sou sifas vale a. Epi gade byen, yo te byen sèch.
And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
3 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske zo sila yo kapab viv?” Konsa, mwen te reponn: “O Senyè BONDYE! Ou menm ki konnen.”
And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
4 Ankò li te di mwen: “Pwofetize sou zo sila yo pou di yo: ‘O zo sèch yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
5 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a zo sila yo: “Gade byen, Mwen va fè souf lavi antre nan nou pou nou kapab vin vivan.
This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
6 Mwen va mete venn sou nou, kite chè vin grandi sou nou ankò, e mete souf nan nou pou nou ka vin vivan. Epi nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
7 Konsa, mwen te pwofetize jan mwen te kòmande a. Epi pandan mwen t ap pwofetize a, te gen yon bri e, gade byen, yon son tankou yon bagay k ap souke. Konsa, zo yo te vin rive ansanm, zo ak zo parèy yo.
So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 Mwen te gade e vwala, venn te vin sou yo, chè te vin grandi, e po yo te vin kouvri. Men pa t gen souf nan yo.
And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
9 Epi li te di mwen: “Pwofetize a souf lavi a! Pwofetize, fis a lòm, e di a souf lavi a: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYÈ a: “Vin sòti nan kat van yo, O souf lavi, e soufle sou sila ke yo te touye yo, pou yo ka vin vivan.”’”
And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
10 Konsa, mwen te pwofetize jan Li te kòmande mwen an. Souf lavi a te antre nan yo. Yo te vin vivan e te kanpe sou pye yo, yon lame gran depase.
And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
11 Konsa li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, zo sila yo se tout lakay Israël. Gade byen, yo di: ‘Zo nou yo vin sèch e espwa nou fin peri. Nou fin koupe retire nèt.’
Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
12 Pou sa, pwofetize e di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va ouvri tonm nou yo pou fè nou monte sòti nan tonm nou yo, pèp Mwen an; epi Mwen va mennen nou antre nan peyi Israël.
For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
13 Nan lè sa a, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M fin ouvri tonm nou yo e fè nou monte sòti nan tonm nou yo, pèp Mwen an.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
14 Mwen va mete Lespri M anndan nou, nou va vin vivan e Mwen va mete nou sou pwòp teren pa nou. Nan lè sa a, nou va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, te fin pale, e te fè sa,” deklare SENYÈ a.’”
And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
15 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen ankò. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, pran pou kont ou yon mòso bwa e ekri sou li: ‘Pou Juda e pou fis a Israël parèy li yo’. Epi pran yon lòt mòso bwa e ekri sou li: ‘Pou Joseph, bwa Éphraïm nan, ak tout lakay Israël parèy li yo.’
And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
17 Konsa, pou kont ou, fè yo vin jwenn youn ak lòt pou vin fè yon sèl bwa, pou yo ka vin youn nan men ou.”
Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
18 “Lè fis a pèp ou yo mande ou e di: ‘Èske ou p ap deklare a nou menm sa ou vle di ak sa yo?’
And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
19 Di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pran bwa Joseph la, ki nan men Éphraïm nan, ak tribi Israël parèy li yo, epi Mwen va mete yo avèk li, avèk bwa a Juda a. Konsa, yo va fè yon sèl bwa. Yo va vin youn nan men M.
Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 Bwa sou sila ou ekri yo, va nan men ou devan zye yo.”’
And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 Pale ak yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pran fis Israël yo soti nan nasyon kote yo te ale yo. Epi Mwen va rasanble yo soti tout kote pou mennen yo antre nan pwòp peyi pa yo.
And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
22 Konsa, Mwen va fè yo vin yon nasyon nan peyi a, sou mòn Israël yo, epi yon wa va wa pou yo tout. Konsa, yo p ap fè de nasyon ankò e yo p ap divize an de wayòm ankò.
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
23 Yo p ap souye tèt yo ak zidòl yo ankò, ni ak bagay abominab yo, ni ak okenn nan transgresyon yo. Konsa, Mwen va delivre yo de tout abitasyon kote yo te fè peche yo e Mwen va netwaye yo. Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo.”
And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
24 “‘“Sèvitè Mwen an, David va wa sou yo e yo tout va gen yon sèl bèje. Yo va mache nan règleman Mwen yo, e yo va kenbe lalwa M yo, e yo va swiv yo.
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
25 Yo va viv sou tè ke M te bay a Jacob la, sèvitè Mwen an, nan sila papa zansèt nou yo te rete a. Yo va viv sou li, yo menm, fis yo ak fis a fis yo, jis pou tout tan, epi David, sèvitè Mwen an, va prens yo jis pou tout tan.
And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
26 Mwen va fè yon akò lapè avèk yo. Li va yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk yo. Mwen va etabli yo, fè yo vin miltipliye e Mwen va mete sanktyè Mwen nan mitan yo jis pou tout tan.
And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
27 Anplis, abitasyon Mwen an va avèk yo, epi Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
28 Konsa, nasyon yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ ki sanktifye Israël la, lè sanktyè Mwen an nan mitan yo jis pou tout tan.”’”
And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
