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 insufla super interfectos istos et revivescant
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 Israhel est ipsi dicunt aruerunt ossa nostra et periit spes nostra et abscisi 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 Israhel
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 populus 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 filiorum Israhel sociis eius et tolle lignum alterum et scribe super eum Ioseph lignum Ephraim et cunctae domui Israhel sociorumque 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 nonne 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 adsumam lignum Ioseph quod est in manu Ephraim et tribus Israhel quae iunctae sunt ei 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 adsumam filios Israhel 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 gentem unam in terra in montibus Israhel 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 in cunctis iniquitatibus suis et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus suis in quibus peccaverunt et mundabo 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 Israhel 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.
