< Ezekiela 37 >
1 KAU mai la ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u, a lawe ae ia'u iwaho ma ka Uhane o Iehova, a hooku iho ia'u ilalo mawaenakonu o ka papu, ua paapu ia i na iwi.
There came over me the inspiration of the Lord, and he carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones;
2 A hoohele ia'u e maalo ma ia mau mea a puni; aia hoi he nui wale o lakou ma ka papu, aia hoi, ua maloo loa lakou.
And he caused me to pass by them all round about; and, behold, there were very many of them on the surface of the valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 A ninau mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hiki anei i keia mau iwi ke ola? I aku la hoi au, E Iehova ka Haku, o oe no ka i ike.
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
4 Olelo hou mai la oia ia'u, E wanaua oe i keia mau iwi, a e olelo aku ia lakou, E na iwi maloo, e hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova.
And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord.
5 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei i keia mau iwi; Eia hoi, e hookomo au i ke ea iloko o oukou, a e ola na oukou.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
6 A e kau iho au i na olona maluna o oukou, a lawe mai au i ka io maluna o oukou, a e uhi ia oukou i ka ili, a e hookomo ae au i ke ea iloko o oukou, a e ola oukou; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
And I will lay sinews upon you, and bring up flesh upon you, and draw over you a skin, and put a spirit in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall experience that I am the Lord.
7 A wanana aku la au e like me au i kauohaia mai ai: a i kuu wanana ana, kawewe ae la, aia hoi, he nauwe ana, a hui ae na iwi, ka iwi me kona iwi.
And so I prophesied as I had been commanded: and there was a sound, as I prophesied, and behold there was a rustling noise, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 A i ko'u nana ana'ku, aia hoi, pii mai no na olona a me ka io maluna o lakou, a uhi mai ka ili ia lakou maluna; aka, aole ea iloko o lakou.
And I looked, and behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh came up, and the skin was drawn over them above; but no spirit was in them.
9 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E wanana oe i ka makani, e wanana, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, a e olelo i ka makani, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, E hele mai, e ka makani, mai na makani eha mai, a e ha iho maluna o keia poe make i ka pepehiia, i ola lakou.
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain ones, that they may live.
10 A wanana aku la au e like me kana i kauoha mai ai ia'u, a komo mai ke ea iloko o lakou, a ola ae la lakou, a ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou mau wawae, he mau koa lehulehu loa.
And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and there came into them the spirit, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o keia poe iwi, o ka ohana a pau ia a Iseraela; aia hoi, ke olelo nei lakou, Uamaloo ko kakou mau iwi, a ua lilo ko kakou mea i manaolana ai; ua oki loa ia'e nei kakou.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope; we are quite cut off.
12 Nolaila e wanana aku, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, Aia hoi, e ko'u poe kanaka, e huai ae au i ko oukou mau luakupapau, a e hoopii mai au ia oukou mai loko mai o ko oukou mau luakupapau, a e lawe ae ia oukou i ka aina o ka Iseraela.
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will open your graves, and I will cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
13 Alaila e ike oukou owau no Iehova, i ka wa i huai ai au i ko oukou mau luakupapau, e ko'u poe kanaka, a lawe mai hoi au ia oukou mai loko mai o ko oukou mau luakupapau;
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and when I cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
14 A hookomo i kuu Uhane iloko o oukou, a e ola oukou, a e hoonoho au ia oukou ma ko oukou aina; alaila e ike oukou owau no Iehova ka i olelo a e hana aku hoi, wahi a Iehova.
And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall acknowledge that I the Lord have spoken it, and done it, saith the Lord.
15 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16 A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e lawe oe i ka laau nou, a e kakau iho maluna iho ona, No Iuda, a no na mamo a Iseraela kona mau hoa; alaila e lawe i kekahi laau, a e kakau iho maluna ona, No Iosepa, ka laau o ka Eperaima, a no ka ohana a pau a Iseraela kona mau hoa.
But thou, son of man, take unto thyself one stick of wood, 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 A e hookui ia laua i kekahi i kekahi i laau hookahi; a e lilo laua i hookahi iloko o kou lima.
And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
18 Aia olelo na keiki a kanaka ia oe, e ninau ana, Aole anei oe e hoike mai ia makou i kou ma keia mau mea?
And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
19 E olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e lawe au i ka laau o Iosepa, ka mea iloko o ka lima o Eperaima, a me na ohana a Iseraela kona mau hoa, a e hui aku au ia lakou me ia, me ka laau hoi o Iuda, a e hoolilo au ia lakou i laau hookahi, a lilo lakou i hookahi iloko o ko'u lima.
[Then] speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, —which is in the hand of Ephraim, —and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will lay them upon him, even the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 A e waiho no na laau au e kakau ai iloko o kou lima imua o ko lakou alo.
And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
21 A e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e lawe mai au i ka poe mamo a Iseraela mai waena mai o na lahuikanaka kahi i hele aku ai lakou, a e houluulu au ia lakou ma kela aoao keia aoao, a e lawe mai ia lakou iloko o ko lakou aina.
And speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and I will gather them from every side, and bring them unto their own land;
22 A e hoolilo au ia lakou i lahuikanaka hookahi ma ka aina maluna o na mauna o ka Iseraela; a no lakou a pau he alii hookahi no; aole alua lahuikanaka hou aku lakou, aole loa hoi e mokuahana hou aku i elua aupuni.
And I will make them into one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be to them all for king; and they shall not be any more two nations, nor shall they at any time be divided into two kingdoms any more:
23 Aole hoi e hoohaumia hou aku lakou ia lakou iho me ko lakou mau akuakii, aole hoi me ko lakou mau mea inainaia, aole hoi me kahi o ka lakou lawehala ana: aka, a e hoola au ia lakou mai loko mai o ko lakou mau wahi i noho ai, i hana hewa ai lakou, a e hoomaemae au ia lakou: a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a owau hoi i Akua no lakou.
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, and with their detestable things, and with all 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 be unto me for a people, and I will be to them for a God.
24 A e lilo ka'u kauwa o Davida i alii maluna o lakou, a no lakou a pau he kahuhipa hookahi; e hele hoi lakou ma ko'u mau kanawai, a malama hoi lakou i ka'u mau kauoha, a e hana hoi malaila.
And my servant David shall be king over them; and one shepherd shall be for them all: and in my ordinances shall they walk, and my statutes shall they observe, and do them.
25 A e noho lakou ma ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i kuu kauwa ia Iakoba, kahi i noho ai ko oukou mau makua; a e noho lakou malaila, o lakou, a me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ka poe keiki a ka lakou poe keiki a mau loa aku; a e mau ana no ko ka'u kauwa ko Davida alii ana no lakou.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto my servant, unto Jacob, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be prince unto them for ever.
26 A e hana au i ka berita hoomalu me lakou, e lilo ia i berita mau loa me lakou; a e hoonoho au ia lakou, a e hoonui au ia lakou, a e hoonoho au i kuu wahi hoano iwaena o lakou a mau loa.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, an everlasting covenant shall it be with them: and I will multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 A o ko'u halelewa kekahi me lakou; a owau auanei ko lakou Akua, a o lakou hoi ko'u poe kanaka.
My dwelling also shall be with them, and I will be unto them for a God; and they shall be unto me as a people.
28 A e ike hoi na lahuikanaka, owau o Iehova ka i hoomaemae i ka Iseraela, i ka mau loa ana o ko'u wahi hoano iwaenakonu o lakou.
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary will be in the midst of them for evermore.
