Ezekiela 37
1 Tao amiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah, ary ny Fanahy no nitondran’ i Jehovah ahy nivoaka, dia napetrany teo amin’ ny lohasaha feno taolana aho.
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 Ary nitondra ahy nandehandeha teny amin’ ireo Izy; ary, indreo, betsaka dia betsaka teny amin’ ny lohasaha ireo, ary, indreo, maina dia maina Ireo.
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 Ary hoy Jebovah tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, moa mety ho velona ihany va ireto taolana ireto? Ary hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo ô, Hianao no mahalala.
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.
4 Dia hoy indray Izy tamiko: Maminania amin’ ireto taolana ireto, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Ry taola-maina, mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah!
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ ireto taolana ireto: Indro, hasiako fofonaina ianareo ka ho velona;
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;
6 ary hasiako ozatra ianareo ka hampaniriko nofo; ary hosaronako hoditra ianareo; ary hasiako fofonaina ianareo ka ho velona; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
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 Dia naminany aho araka izay efa nandidiana ahy, ary nony efa naminany aho, dia injany! nisy feo, ary, indreo, nihetsiketsika sady nifanatonatona ny taolana, samy nanatona ny taolana namany avy.
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 Ary hitako fa, indro, naniry ny ozatra sy ny nofo, ary nisarona hoditra izy, nefa tsy mbola nisy fofonaina tao aminy.
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 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Maminania amin’ ny fofonaina, eny, maminania, ry zanak’ olona, ka ataovy amin’ ny fofonaina hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Manatona avy amin’ ny rivotra efatra, ry fofonaina, ka tsotsofy ireo voavono ireo, mba ho velona izy.
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 Dia naminany araka izay efa nandidiany ahy aho, ka dia nidiran’ ny fofonaina ireo ka velona, dia nijoro tamin’ ny tongony izy maro be dia maro be tokoa.
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 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ireto taolana ireto dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra; indreo izy manao hoe: Maina ny taolanay, levona ny fanantenanay, fongotra izahay.
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 Koa maminania, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ry oloko, Izaho no hanokatra ny fasanareo, ary hampiakariko avy amin’ ny fasanareo ianareo, ka ho entiko ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely;
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 ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha manokatra ny fasanareo Aho, ry oloko, ka mampiakatra anareo hiala amin’ ny fasanareo.
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 Ary hataoko ao anatinareo ny Fanahiko, dia ho velona ianareo, ary hamponeniko any amin’ ny taninareo ianareo; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho Jehovah no efa niteny sady nahatanteraka izany, hoy Jehovah.
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 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia mangalà tapa-kazo iray, ka asio soratra hoe: Ho an’ ny Joda sy ho an’ ny zanak’ Isiraely namany; dia mangalà tapa-kazo anankiray koa, ka asio soratra hoe: Ho an’ i Josefa dia tapa-kazon’ i Efraima sy ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely namany rehetra.
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 Ary ampifanatony izy roa ho tonga tapa-kazo iray ihany, dia ho iray eny an-tananao izy.
And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.
18 Ary raha miteny aminao ny zanaky ny firenenao manao hoe: Moa tsy hilaza izay hevitrao amin’ izany va ianao?
And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?
19 dia ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho haka ny tapa-kazon’ i Josefa, izay eny an-tanan’ i Efraima, sy ny firenen’ ny Isiraely namany, ary hakambako ho eo amin’ ny tapa-kazon’ i Joda izy, ary hataoko tapa-kazo iray ihany izy ka ho tonga iray eny an-tanako.
[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 Ary ny tapa-kazo izay hasianao soratra dia ho eny an-tananao eo imasony.
And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
21 Dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho haka ny zanak’ Isiraely avy any amin’ ny jentilisa izay nalehany, eny, hangoniko avy any amin’ ny manodidina any izy ka ho entiko ho any amin’ ny taniny:
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 ary hataoko ho firenena iray any amin’ ny tany izy, dia any an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, ary mpanjaka iray ihany no ho mpanjakan’ izy rehetra, ka tsy ho firenena roa intsony izy ary tsy hisaraka ho fanjakana roa intsony.
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 Ary tsy handoto tena amin’ ny sampiny, na amin’ ny fahavetavetany, na amin’ ny fahadisoany intsony izy; fa hovonjeko ho afaka amin’ ny fonenany rehetra izay nanotany izy, ary hodioviko izy, ka dia ho oloko, ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny.
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 Ary Davida Mpanompoko no ho Mpanjakany; ary hiray Mpiandry izy rehetra, dia handeha araka ny fitsipiko izy sady hitandrina ny lalàko sy hankatò izany.
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 Ary honina any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko an’ i Jakoba mpanompoko izy, dia ilay efa nonenan’ ny razanareo, ka honina any izy sy ny zanany mbamin’ ny zafiny mandrakizay; ary Davida mpanompoko no ho Mpanapaka azy mandrakizay.
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 Ary hanao fanekem-pihavanana ho azy Aho, ka ho fanekena mandrakizay eo aminy any, ary hametraka sy hahamaro azy Aho sady hametraka ny fitoerako masìna eo aminy mandrakizay.
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 Ary ny tabernakeliko ho eo aminy; ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny, ary izy ho oloko.
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 Ka dia ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna ny Isiraely amin’ ny isian’ ny fitoerako masìna eo aminy mandrakizay.
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.
