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 YHWH was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of YHWH, and set me down in the midst of the valley 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 caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, 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 unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Master YHWH, thou knowest.
4 Ankò li te di mwen: “Pwofetize sou zo sila yo pou di yo: ‘O zo sèch yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of YHWH.
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 saith the Sovereign YHWH unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye 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 lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am YHWH.
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 prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his 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 when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: 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.”’”
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
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.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding 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 unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
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.
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring 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 ye shall know that I am YHWH, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
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 shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I YHWH have spoken it, and performed it, saith YHWH.
15 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen ankò. Li te di:
The word of YHWH came again unto 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.’
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel 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 them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine 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 thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
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.
Say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 Bwa sou sila ou ekri yo, va nan men ou devan zye yo.”’
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine 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 unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own 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 upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
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.”
Neither shall they 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 dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their Elohim.
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 David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, 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 shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince 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.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 Anplis, abitasyon Mwen an va avèk yo, epi Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Elohim, and they shall 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 heathen shall know that I YHWH do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
