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
The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he carried me out in the spirit of Jehovah, and set me in the midst of a valley, which was full of bones,
2 et circumduxit me per ea in gyro erant autem multa valde super faciem campi siccaque vehementer
and caused me to pass by them round about; and behold, there were very many upon 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 to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest!
4 et dixit ad me vaticinare de ossibus istis et dices eis ossa arida audite verbum Domini
Then he said to me, Prophesy to these dry bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah!
5 haec dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum et vivetis
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter 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 will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath into you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
7 et prophetavi sicut praeceperat mihi factus est autem sonitus prophetante me et ecce commotio et accesserunt ossa ad ossa unumquodque ad iuncturam suam
So I prophesied, as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, a voice was heard, and behold, a shaking, 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 when I looked, behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh grew, and the skin covered them above; but there was no breath 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 to me, Prophesy to breath, prophesy, O son of man, and say to breath, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, 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
So I prophesied, as he commanded me; and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great host.
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
And he said to me, Son of man, these bones denote the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, “Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost, and we are 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 to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and 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 Jehovah, when I open your graves, and 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 put my breath within you, and ye live, and I place you in your own land; then shall ye know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and done it, saith Jehovah.
15 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
And the word of Jehovah came to 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
Son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, “For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions”; and take another stick, and write upon it, “For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and the whole house of Israel, his companions.”
17 et adiunge illa unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum et erunt in unionem in manu tua
Then join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.
18 cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui loquentes nonne indicas nobis quid in his tibi velis
And when the sons of thy people say to thee. “Wilt thou not show 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
say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and of the tribes of Israel, his companions, and will unite them and him with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 erunt autem ligna super quae scripseris in manu tua in oculis eorum
And let the sticks whereon thou writest 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 say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations whither they are gone, and will gather them from every side, and bring them into 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 one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; and they shall no more be two nations, and no more shall they be divided into two kingdoms.
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, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all their dwelling-places wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their 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 they shall have one shepherd; and they shall walk in my commandments, and observe my statutes, 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 which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt; they shall dwell therein, and their sons and their son's sons forever; and David, my servant, shall be their prince forever.
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; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them [[in the land]], and multiply them, and set my sanctuary in the midst of them forever.
27 et erit tabernaculum meum in eis et ero eis Deus et ipsi erunt mihi populus
And my dwelling-place shall be with them; yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my 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, Jehovah, do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.
