Hiezechielis Prophetæ 37
1 Facta est super me manus Domini, et eduxit me in spiritu Domini: et dimisit me in medio campi, qui erat plenus ossibus:
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 Et circumduxit me per ea in gyro: erant autem multa valde super faciem campi, siccaque vehementer.
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 Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis putasne vivent ossa ista? Et dixi: Domine Deus, tu nosti.
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
4 Et dixit ad me: Vaticinare de ossibus istis: et dices eis: Ossa arida audite verbum Domini.
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 Haec dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his: Ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum, et vivetis.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
6 Et dabo super vos nervos, et succrescere faciam super vos carnes, et superextendam in vobis cutem: et dabo vobis spiritum, et vivetis, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
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 Et prophetavi sicut praeceperat mihi: factus est autem sonitus, prophetante me, et ecce commotio: et accesserunt ossa ad ossa, unumquodque ad iuncturam suam.
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 Et vidi, et ecce super ea nervi, et carnes ascenderunt: et extenta est in eis cutis desuper, et spiritum non habebant.
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 Et dixit ad me: Vaticinare ad spiritum, vaticinare fili hominis, et dices ad spiritum: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: A quattuor ventis veni spiritus, et insuffla super interfectos istos, et reviviscant.
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 Et prophetavi sicut praeceperat mihi: et ingressus est in ea spiritus, et vixerunt: steteruntque super pedes suos exercitus grandis nimis valde.
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 Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, ossa haec universa, domus Israel est: ipsi dicunt: Aruerunt ossa nostra, et periit spes nostra, et abscissi sumus.
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 Propterea vaticinare, et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego aperiam tumulos vestros, et educam vos de sepulchris vestris populus meus: et inducam vos in terram Israel.
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 Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum aperuero sepulchra vestra, et eduxero vos de tumulis vestris popule meus:
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 Et dedero spiritum meum in vobis, et vixeritis, et requiescere vos faciam super humum vestram: et scietis quia ego Dominus locutus sum, et feci, ait Dominus Deus.
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 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16 Et tu fili hominis sume tibi lignum unum: et scribe super illud: Iudae, et filiis Israel sociis eius: et tolle lignum alterum, et scribe super illud: Ioseph ligno Ephraim, et cunctae domui Israel sociis eius.
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 Et adiunge illa, unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum: et erunt in unionem in manu tua.
And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
18 Cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui loquentes: Non indicas nobis quid in his tibi velis?
And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
19 loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam lignum Ioseph, quod est in manu Ephraim, et tribus Israel, quae sunt ei adiunctae: et dabo eas pariter cum ligno Iuda, et faciam eas in lignum unum: et erunt unum in manu eius.
[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 Erunt autem ligna, super quae scripseris in manu tua, in oculis eorum.
And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
21 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam filios Israel de medio nationum, ad quas abierunt: et congregabo eos undique, et adducam eos ad humum suam.
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 Et faciam eos in gentem unam in terra in montibus Israel, et rex unus erit omnibus imperans: et non erunt ultra duae gentes, nec dividentur amplius in duo regna.
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 Neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis, et abominationibus suis, et cunctis iniquitatibus suis: et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus suis, in quibus peccaverunt, et emundabo eos: et erunt mihi populus, et ego ero eis Deus.
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 Et servus meus David rex super eos, et pastor unus erit omnium eorum: in iudiciis meis ambulabunt, et mandata mea custodient, et facient ea.
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 Et habitabunt super terram, quam dedi servo meo Iacob, in qua habitaverunt patres vestri: et habitabunt super eam ipsi, et filii eorum, et filii filiorum eorum, usque in sempiternum: et David servus meus princeps eorum in perpetuum.
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 Et percutiam illis foedus pacis, pactum sempiternum erit eis: et fundabo eos, et multiplicabo, et dabo sanctificationem meam in medio eorum in perpetuum.
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 Et erit tabernaculum meum in eis: et ero eis Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
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 Et scient Gentes quia ego Dominus sanctificator Israel, cum fuerit sanctificatio mea in medio eorum in perpetuum.
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.
