Ezekieri 37
1 Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pangu, uye akandibudisa noMweya waJehovha akandiisa pakati pomupata; wakanga uzere namapfupa.
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.
2 Akanditungamirira kuno nokoko pakati pawo, uye ndakaona mapfupa mazhinji zhinji pamusoro pomupata; mapfupa akanga akaoma kwazvo.
He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.
3 Akandibvunza akati, “Mwanakomana womunhu, mapfupa aya angararama here?” Ini ndakati, “Imi Ishe Jehovha, iyemi moga munoziva.”
Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
4 Ipapo iye akati kwandiri, “Profita kumapfupa aya uti kwaari, ‘Imi mapfupa akaoma, inzwai shoko raJehovha:
And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha kumapfupa aya: Ndichaisa mweya mukati menyu mugorarama.
This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
6 Ndichaisa marunda pamuri ndigoita kuti muve nenyama pamusoro penyu uye ndichakufukidzai neganda; ndichaisa mweya mukati menyu uye muchava vapenyu. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
7 Saka ndakaprofita sezvandakarayirwa. Zvino ndakati ndichiprofita, kwakava nomumvumo, nokurira kwaiti kweche kweche, uye mapfupa akaswededzana, bvupa nebvupa.
So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 Ndakatarira, ndikaona marunda nenyama zvavapo uye zvakafukidzwa neganda, asi makanga musina mweya mukati mazvo.
As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
9 Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Profita kumhepo; profita, mwanakomana womunhu, uti kwairi, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Uya uchibva kumhepo ina, iwe mweya, ufemere mukati maava vakaurayiwa, kuti vararame.’”
Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
10 Saka ndakaprofita sezvaakandirayira, mweya ukapinda mukati mavo; vakararama vakamira netsoka dzavo, iri hondo huru kwazvo.
So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
11 Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, mapfupa aya ndiyo imba yose yaIsraeri. Ivo vanoti, ‘Mapfupa edu aoma uye hatisisina tariro; taparadzwa hedu.’
Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
12 Naizvozvo profita uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Haiwa vanhu vangu, ndiri kuzozarura marinda enyu ndigokubudisai maari; ndichakudzoseraizve kunyika yaIsraeri.
Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 Ipapo imi, vanhu vangu, muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichazarura marinda enyu ndichikubudisai maari.
Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14 Ndichaisa mweya wangu mukati menyu mugorarama, uye ndichakugarisai munyika yenyu. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura, uye ndakazviita, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.’”
I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
15 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
16 “Mwanakomana womunhu, tora rutanda unyore parwuri kuti, ‘ZvaJudha nezvaIsraeri shamwari dzake.’ Ipapo utore rumwe rutanda, ugonyora pamusoro parwo kuti, ‘Rutanda rwaEfuremu, norwaJosefa neimba yose yaIsraeri neshamwari dzake.’
“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
17 Uzvibatanidze pamwe chete zvive rutanda rumwe kuitira kuti zvive rutanda rumwe chete muruoko rwako.
Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
18 “Kana vanhu venyika yako vakakubvunza vachiti, ‘Haungatiudziwo zvaunoreva nechinhu ichi here?’
When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’
19 uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndiri kuzotora rutanda rwaJosefa, rwuri muruoko rwaEfuremu, nerwaIsraeri shamwari dzake, ndigorubatanidza nerwaJudha, ndichiaita rutanda rumwe chete rwehuni, agova rutanda rumwe chete muruoko rwangu.’
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
20 Uabate pamberi pavo iwo matanda awakanyora paari
When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
21 ugoti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Kubva munyika dzose kwavakanga vaenda ndichadzosera vaIsraeri munyika yavo.
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
22 Ndichavaita rudzi rumwe chete munyika iyo, pamakomo eIsraeri. Pachava namambo mumwe chete pamusoro pavo vose uye havachazovazve marudzi maviri kana kupatsanurwa kuti vave umambo huviri.
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
23 Havachazozvisvibisizve nezvifananidzo zvavo kana nezvinonyangadza zvavo kana kudarika kuipa kwavo, nokuti ini ndichavaponesa pazvivi zvavo zvokudzokera shure, uye ndichavanatsa. Vachava vanhu vangu uye ini ndichava Mwari wavo.
They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “‘Muranda wangu Dhavhidhi achava mambo pamusoro pavo, uye vose vachava nomufudzi mumwe chete. Vachatevera mirayiro yangu uye vachachenjerera kuchengeta mitemo yangu.
My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
25 Vachagara munyika yandakapa kumuranda wangu Jakobho, iyo nyika yaigara madzibaba avo. Vachagaramo nokusingaperi ivo navana vavo navana vavana vavo uye Dhavhidhi muranda wangu achava muchinda wavo nokusingaperi.
They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
26 Ndichaita sungano yorugare navo; ichava sungano isingaperi. Ndichavasimbisa, ndichavawanza uye ndichaisa nzvimbo yangu tsvene pakati pavo nokusingaperi.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
27 Ugaro hwangu huchava pakati pavo, ini ndichava Mwari wavo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vangu.
My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
28 Ipapo ndudzi dzichaziva kuti ini Jehovha ndinoita Israeri kuti ave mutsvene, kana nzvimbo yangu tsvene ikagara pakati pavo nokusingaperi.’”
Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”
