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 was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which 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 led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly 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, do you think that these bones will live?” And I said, “O Lord God, you know.”
4 Ankò li te di mwen: “Pwofetize sou zo sila yo pou di yo: ‘O zo sèch yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
And he said to me, “Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen 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.
Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
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 set sinews upon you, and I will cause flesh to grow over you, and I will extend skin over you. And I will give you spirit, and you shall live. And you shall know 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.
And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. But a noise occurred, as I was prophesying, and behold: a commotion. And the bones joined together, each one at its joint.
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 I saw, and behold: sinews and flesh rose up over them; and skin was extended over them. But they had no spirit within 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: “Prophesy to the spirit! Prophesy, O son of man, and you shall say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord God: Approach, O spirit, from the four winds, and blow across these ones who were slain, and revive them.”
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 prophesied, just as he had instructed me. And spirit entered into them, and they lived. And they stood upon their feet, an exceedingly 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.’
And he said to me: “Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel. They say: ‘Our bones are dried out, and our hope has perished, and we have been cut off.’
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.
Because of this, prophesy, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your tombs, and I will lead you away from your sepulchers, O my people. And I will lead 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 shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have opened your sepulchers, and when I will have led you away from your tombs, 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 place my Spirit within you, and you shall live. And I will cause you to rest upon your own soil. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and acted, says the Lord God.”
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 as for you, son of man, take up a piece of wood for yourself, and write upon it: ‘For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ And take up another piece of wood, and write upon it: ‘For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for the entire house of Israel, and for his companions.’
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.”
And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united 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?’
Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: ‘Will you not tell us what you intend by this?’
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.
you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, which are joined to him, and I will put them together with the wood of Judah, and I will make them one piece of wood. And they will be one in his hand.
20 Bwa sou sila ou ekri yo, va nan men ou devan zye yo.”’
Then the pieces of wood, on which you have written, 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 you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the sons of Israel, from the midst of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them together on every side, and I will lead them onto their own soil.
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 ruler over all. And they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any more 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 be defiled by their idols, and by their abominations, and by all their iniquities. And I will save them, out of all the settlements in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. And they will be my people, and I will be their 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 shall be the king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. They shall walk in my judgments, and they shall keep my commandments, and they shall 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 shall live upon the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived. And they shall live upon it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, even for all time. And David, my servant, shall be their leader, in perpetuity.
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 strike a covenant of peace with them. This will be an everlasting covenant for them. And I will establish them, and multiply them. And I will set my sanctuary in their midst, unceasingly.
27 Anplis, abitasyon Mwen an va avèk yo, epi Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
And my tabernacle shall be among them. And I will be their God, and they will be my 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 Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary will be in their midst, forever.”
