< Hisqiʼeel 37 >
1 Harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; innis Hafuura Waaqayyootiin na fuudhee, walakkaa sululaa na dhaabe; sululli sunis lafeewwaniin guutamee ture.
The hand of the Lord was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which was full of bones.
2 Isaan gidduus asii fi achi na deddeebise; anis lafeewwan akka malee baayʼee kanneen akka malee goggogan lafa sululaa irratti nan arge.
And he led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly dry.
3 Innis, “Yaa ilma namaa, lafeewwan kunneen jiraachuu dandaʼuu?” jedhee na gaafate. Ani immoo, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, si qofatu beeka” nan jedhe.
And he said to me, “Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?” And I said, “O Lord God, you know.”
4 Kana irratti inni akkana naan jedhe; “Lafeewwan kanneenitti raajiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Yaa lafeewwan goggogoo, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa!
And he said to me, “Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
5 Waaqayyo Gooftaan lafeewwan kanneeniin akkana jedha: Ani hafuura isinitti nan galcha; isinis lubbuudhaan ni jiraattu.
Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
6 Ribuu isinitti nan baasa; akka foon isinitti baʼu nan godha; gogaas isinitti nan uffisa; hafuuras isin keessa nan kaaʼa; isinis lubbuudhaan ni jiraattu. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
And I will set sinews upon you, and I will cause flesh to grow over you, and I will extend skin over you. And I will give you spirit, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
7 Kanaafuu ani akkuman ajajametti raajii nan dubbadhe. Utuma ani raajii dubbachaa jiruus sagaleen tokko dhagaʼame; lafeewwanis walitti dhufan; lafeenis lafeetti maxxane.
And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. But a noise occurred, as I was prophesying, and behold: a commotion. And the bones joined together, each one at its joint.
8 Yeroo ani isaan ilaaletti, kunoo ribuun isaanitti baʼee ture; foonis isaan irra ture; gogaas uffatanii turan; hafuurri garuu isaan keessa hin jiru ture.
And I saw, and behold: sinews and flesh rose up over them; and skin was extended over them. But they had no spirit within them.
9 Ergasii inni akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, bubbeetti raajii dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa bubbee, bubbeewwan afran irraa kottu; akka isaan lubbuudhaan jiraataniif warra gorraʼaman kanneenitti bubbisi.’”
And he said to me: “Prophesy to the spirit! Prophesy, O son of man, and you shall say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord God: Approach, O spirit, from the four winds, and blow across these ones who were slain, and revive them.”
10 Kanaafuu ani akkuma inni na ajajetti raajii nan dubbadhe; hafuurris isaanitti gale; isaanis lubbuu horatanii miilla isaaniitiin kaʼanii dhadhaabatan; isaanis raayyaa guddaa turan.
And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. And spirit entered into them, and they lived. And they stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Innis akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, lafeewwan kunneen guutummaa mana Israaʼeli. Jarris, ‘Lafeewwan keenya goggoganiiru; nu abdii hin qabnu; cinneerras’ jedhu.
And he said to me: “Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel. They say: ‘Our bones are dried out, and our hope has perished, and we have been cut off.’
12 Kanaafuu raajii dubbadhuuttii akkana isaaniin jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa saba koo ani awwaala kee banee isa keessaa sin baasa; ani biyya Israaʼelitti deebisee sin fida.
Because of this, prophesy, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your tombs, and I will lead you away from your sepulchers, O my people. And I will lead you into the land of Israel.
13 Isinis yaa saba ko, yeroo ani awwaala keessan banee isa keessaa isin baasutti, akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have opened your sepulchers, and when I will have led you away from your tombs, O my people.
14 Ani Hafuura koo isin keessa nan kaaʼa; isinis lubbuudhaan jiraattu; ani biyyuma keessan keessa isinan qubachiisa. Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo dubbadhee hojjedhe ni beektu, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
And I will place my Spirit within you, and you shall live. And I will cause you to rest upon your own soil. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and acted, says the Lord God.”
15 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
16 “Yaa ilma namaa, ulee mukaa tokko fuudhiitii, ‘Kan Yihuudaatii fi kan Israaʼeloota isa wajjin tumsanii’ jedhii isa irratti barreessi. Ulee mukaa kan biraas fuudhiitii, ‘Ulee Efreem, kan Yoosefii fi kan guutummaa mana Israaʼel kanneen isa wajjin tumsanii’ jedhii isa irratti barreessi.
“And as for you, son of man, take up a piece of wood for yourself, and write upon it: ‘For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ And take up another piece of wood, and write upon it: ‘For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for the entire house of Israel, and for his companions.’
17 Akka isaan harka kee keessatti tokko taʼaniif uleewwan sana walitti qabsiis.
And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united in your hand.
18 “Yommuu namoonni biyya keetii, ‘Kun maal jechuu kee akka taʼe nutti hin himtuu?’ jedhanii si gaafatanitti,
Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: ‘Will you not tell us what you intend by this?’
19 akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani ulee Yoosef kan harka Efreem jiru kan gosoota Israaʼel kanneen isa wajjin tumsanii, ulee Yihuudaa wajjin walitti qabsiisee ulee mukaa tokko nan godha; isaanis harka koo keessatti tokko ni taʼu.’
you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, which are joined to him, and I will put them together with the wood of Judah, and I will make them one piece of wood. And they will be one in his hand.
20 Fuula isaanii durattis uleewwan isaan irratti barreessite sana harkatti qabadhuutii
Then the pieces of wood, on which you have written, will be in your hand, before their eyes.
21 akkana isaaniin jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani saboota isaan keessa turan keessaa Israaʼeloota nan baasa. Qixa hundaa walitti isaan qabee biyya isaaniitti isaan nan galcha.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the sons of Israel, from the midst of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them together on every side, and I will lead them onto their own soil.
22 Ani tulluuwwan Israaʼel irratti, biyyattii keessatti saba tokko isaan nan godha. Isaan hunda irratti mootii tokkotu moʼa; isaanis gonkumaa deebiʼanii saboota lama hin taʼan yookaan mootummaan isaanii iddoo lamatti hin qoodamu.
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be ruler over all. And they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any more into two kingdoms.
23 Isaan siʼachi waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaa fi fakkiiwwan faayidaa hin qabneen yookaan balleessaa isaanii kamiin iyyuu of hin xureessan; ani cubbuudhaan dugda duubatti mucucaachuu isaanii hunda irraa deebisee isaan nan qulqulleessaatii. Isaan saba koo ni taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.
And they will no longer be defiled by their idols, and by their abominations, and by all their iniquities. And I will save them, out of all the settlements in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. And they will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 “‘Daawit garbichi koo isaan irratti mootii ni taʼa; isaan hundis tiksitee tokko ni qabaatu. Isaan seera koo duukaa ni buʼu; sirna koos of eeggannaadhaan ni eegu.
And my servant David shall be the king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. They shall walk in my judgments, and they shall keep my commandments, and they shall do them.
25 Isaan biyya abbootiin keessan jiraatan, biyya ani Yaaqoobiif kenne keessa ni jiraatu. Isaanii fi ijoolleen isaanii, ijoolleen ijoollee isaaniis bara baraan achi ni jiraatu; Daawit garbichi koos bara baraan bulchaa isaanii ni taʼa.
And they shall live upon the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived. And they shall live upon it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, even for all time. And David, my servant, shall be their leader, in perpetuity.
26 Ani isaan wajjin kakuu nagaa nan seena; kakuun kunis kakuu bara baraa ni taʼa. Ani jabeessee isaan nan dhaaba; lakkoobsa isaaniis nan baayʼisa; gidduu isaaniittis iddoo qulqulluu koo bara baraan nan dhaaba.
And I will strike a covenant of peace with them. This will be an everlasting covenant for them. And I will establish them, and multiply them. And I will set my sanctuary in their midst, unceasingly.
27 Iddoon jireenya koo isaan bira taʼa; ani Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaanis saba koo ni taʼu.
And my tabernacle shall be among them. And I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Ergasii yommuu iddoon qulqulluun koo bara baraan isaan gidduu jiraatutti, akka ani Waaqayyo Israaʼelin qulqulleessu saboonni ni beeku.’”
And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary will be in their midst, forever.”
