Yehezkiel 37
1 Aku merasakan kuasa TUHAN, dan Roh-Nya membawa aku menuruni lembah yang penuh dengan tulang-tulang.
There has been a hand of YHWH on me, and He takes me forth in [the] Spirit of YHWH, and places me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
2 Aku dituntun TUHAN berkeliling-keliling di lembah itu, dan kulihat bahwa di seluruh lembah itu berserakan tulang-tulang yang amat banyak dan kering sekali.
and He causes me to pass over by them, all around, and behold, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and behold—very dry.
3 TUHAN bertanya kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, dapatkah tulang-tulang ini hidup kembali?" Aku menjawab, "TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi, hanya Engkaulah yang tahu."
And He says to me, “Son of man, do these bones live?” And I say, “O Lord YHWH, You have known.”
4 Lalu TUHAN menyuruh aku menyampaikan pesan-Nya kepada tulang-tulang yang kering itu,
And He says to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones, and you have said to them, O dry bones, hear a word of YHWH!
5 "Aku TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi meniupkan napas ke dalam dirimu supaya kamu hidup kembali.
Thus said Lord YHWH to these bones: Behold, I am bringing a spirit into you, and you have lived,
6 Kutaruh urat dan daging padamu serta Kubalut kamu dengan kulit. Kamu akan Kuberi napas sehingga hidup. Maka tahulah kamu bahwa Akulah TUHAN."
and I have given sinews on you, and cause flesh to come up on you, and covered you over with skin, and given a spirit in you, and you have lived, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
7 Lalu aku Yehezkiel berbicara kepada tulang-tulang itu sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN. Dan sedang aku berbicara itu, kudengar suara berderak-derak, karena tulang-tulang itu mulai bersambung satu dengan yang lain.
And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise as I am prophesying, and behold, a rushing, and the bones draw near, bone to its bone.
8 Sementara aku memperhatikannya, tulang-tulang itu mulai berurat dan berdaging, lalu berkulit juga tetapi tubuh-tubuh itu belum bernapas.
And I beheld, and behold, sinews [are] on them, and flesh has come up, and skin covers them over above—and there is no spirit in them.
9 Allah berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, bicaralah kepada angin. Katakanlah bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi memerintahkan kepadanya supaya datang dari segala arah, untuk meniupkan napas ke dalam tubuh-tubuh yang mati itu sehingga mereka hidup kembali."
And He says to me: “Prophesy to the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and you have said to the Spirit, Thus said Lord YHWH: Come in from the four winds, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they live.”
10 Maka aku berbicara sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN dan angin pun meniupkan napas ke dalam tubuh-tubuh itu lalu mereka hidup dan berdiri. Jumlah mereka sangat banyak, cukup untuk membentuk kesatuan tentara yang besar.
And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit comes into them, and they live, and stand on their feet—a very, very great force.
11 Allah berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, tulang-tulang ini melambangkan bangsa Israel. Mereka mengeluh bahwa mereka kering, tanpa harapan dan tanpa hari depan.
And He says to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they are saying, Our bones have dried up, And our hope has perished, We have been cut off by ourselves.
12 Sebab itu meramallah kepada umat-Ku Israel itu bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi akan membuka kuburan mereka. Aku akan mengeluarkan mereka dari situ dan mengembalikan mereka ke tanah Israel.
Therefore, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you into the land of Israel.
13 Setelah Aku melakukan semuanya itu, umat-Ku akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
14 Aku akan meniupkan napas dalam diri mereka untuk menghidupkan mereka, lalu mereka Kumungkinkan tinggal di negerinya sendiri. Maka tahulah mereka bahwa Akulah TUHAN. Aku TUHAN telah berbicara dan pasti akan melaksanakannya."
And I have given My Spirit in you, and you have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And you have known that I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it], A declaration of YHWH.”
15 TUHAN berkata lagi kepadaku,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
16 "Hai manusia fana, ambillah sebuah tongkat dan tulislah kata-kata ini di atasnya, 'Kerajaan Yehuda'. Lalu ambil sebuah tongkat yang lain, dan tulislah di atasnya: 'Kerajaan Israel'.
“And you, son of man, take one stick for yourself, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
17 Kemudian peganglah kedua tongkat sedemikian rupa sehingga ujung-ujungnya bergabung dan menjadi satu tongkat.
and bring them near to one another, to you, for one stick, and they have become one in your hand.
18 Bila bangsamu menanyakan artinya,
And when sons of your people speak to you, saying, Do you not declare to us what these [are] to you?
19 katakanlah kepada mereka, bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi akan mengambil tongkat yang melambangkan Israel dan menggabungkannya dengan tongkat yang melambangkan Yehuda. Kedua tongkat itu akan Kujadikan satu dan Kupegang dalam tangan-Ku.
Speak to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them to him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
20 Peganglah kedua tongkat itu dan perlihatkanlah kepada bangsa itu.
And the sticks on which you write have been in your hand before your eyes,
21 Lalu katakanlah kepada mereka bahwa Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi akan mengambil seluruh bangsa-Ku dari negeri-negeri ke mana mereka telah pergi. Mereka akan Kukumpulkan dan Kubawa kembali ke negeri mereka sendiri.
and speak to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations to where they have gone, And have gathered them from all around, And I have brought them into their land.
22 Mereka akan Kujadikan satu bangsa di tanah itu, di pegunungan Israel. Mereka akan diperintah oleh satu raja, dan tidak akan lagi terpecah menjadi dua bangsa atau kerajaan.
And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no longer as two nations, Nor are they divided anymore into two kingdoms again.
23 Mereka tidak akan menajiskan diri lagi dengan berbuat dosa dan menyembah berhala-berhala yang menjijikkan. Aku akan membebaskan mereka dari semua penyelewengan yang membuat mereka mengkhianati Aku. Aku akan menyucikan mereka; mereka akan menjadi umat-Ku, dan Aku Allah mereka.
Nor are they defiled anymore with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God.
24 Mereka akan dipersatukan di bawah seorang raja seperti raja Daud yang akan memerintah untuk selama-lamanya. Dengan setia mereka akan mentaati hukum-hukum-Ku. Dan untuk selama-lamanya mereka serta keturunan mereka akan mendiami tanah itu, tanah yang Kuberikan kepada Yakub dan didiami oleh nenek moyang mereka.
And My servant David [is] king over them, And they all have one shepherd, And they go in My judgments, And they keep My statutes, and have done them.
And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son’s sons—for all time, And My servant David [is] their prince for all time.
26 Aku akan membuat suatu perjanjian dengan mereka yang menjamin keamanan mereka sampai kekal. Aku akan memberkati dan menambah jumlah mereka. Di tanah mereka akan Kubangun Rumah-Ku yang tetap di sana untuk selama-lamanya.
And I have made a covenant of peace with them, It is a perpetual covenant with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst for all time.
27 Aku akan tinggal bersama mereka, Aku akan menjadi Allah mereka dan mereka umat-Ku.
And My dwelling place has been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
28 Bila Rumah-Ku sudah berada di tengah-tengah mereka untuk selama-lamanya, maka tahulah bangsa-bangsa lain bahwa Aku, TUHAN, telah memilih Israel menjadi umat-Ku sendiri."
And the nations have known that I, YHWH, am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst for all time!”
