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.
Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it 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.
He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, 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.
He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
4 Dia hoy indray Izy tamiko: Maminania amin’ ireto taolana ireto, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Ry taola-maina, mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah!
Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.
5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ ireto taolana ireto: Indro, hasiako fofonaina ianareo ka ho velona;
The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will 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.
I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
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.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then 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.
I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath 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 he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, 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.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on 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 he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely 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 tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, 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.
You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, 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.
I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’”
15 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Yahweh’s word came again to 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.
“You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on 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.
Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 Ary raha miteny aminao ny zanaky ny firenenao manao hoe: Moa tsy hilaza izay hevitrao amin’ izany va ianao?
“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean 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.
tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 Ary ny tapa-kazo izay hasianao soratra dia ho eny an-tananao eo imasony.
The sticks on which you write will be in your 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:
Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into 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.
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
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.
They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their 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.
“‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, 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.
They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
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.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.
27 Ary ny tabernakeliko ho eo aminy; ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny, ary izy ho oloko.
My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Ka dia ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasìna ny Isiraely amin’ ny isian’ ny fitoerako masìna eo aminy mandrakizay.
The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”
