Ezekieli 37
1 Mkono wa Bwana ulikuwa juu yangu, naye akanitoa nje kwa Roho wa Bwana na kuniweka katikati ya bonde lililokuwa limejaa mifupa tele.
It was on me [the] hand of Yahweh and he brought out me by [the] spirit of Yahweh and he set down me in [the] middle of the valley and it [was] full bones.
2 Akanipitisha pande zote kwenye hiyo mifupa, nami nikaona mifupa mingi sana ndani ya lile bonde, mifupa iliyokuwa imekauka sana.
And he made pass by me at them all around - all around and there! many [bones] very [were] on [the] surface of the valley and there! [they were] dry very.
3 Akaniuliza, “Mwanadamu, mifupa hii yaweza kuishi?” Nikajibu, “Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, wewe peke yako wajua.”
And he said to me O son of humankind ¿ will they live the bones these and I said O Lord Yahweh you you know.
4 Ndipo akaniambia, “Itabirie mifupa hii na uiambie, ‘Enyi mifupa mikavu, sikieni neno la Bwana!
And he said to me prophesy to the bones these and you will say to them O bones dry hear [the] word of Yahweh.
5 Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo kwa hii mifupa: Nitatia pumzi ndani yenu, nanyi mtaishi.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the bones these here! I [am] about to bring in you breath and you will live.
6 Nitawawekea mishipa, nami nitaifanya nyama ije juu yenu na kuwafunika kwa ngozi. Nitatia pumzi ndani yenu, nanyi mtakuwa hai. Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
And I will give to you sinews and I will bring up over you flesh and I will cover over you skin and I will put in you breath and you will live and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
7 Basi nikatabiri kama nilivyoamriwa. Wakati nilipokuwa ninatabiri, kukawa na sauti, sauti ya kugongana, nayo mifupa ikasogeleana, mfupa kwa mfupa mwenziwe.
And I prophesied just as I was commanded and it came a sound when prophesied I and there! a rattling and they drew near [the] bones bone to bone its.
8 Nikatazama, mishipa na nyama vikatokea juu ya mifupa na ngozi ikaifunika, lakini hapakuwepo pumzi ndani yake.
And I saw and there! [were] on them sinews and flesh it came up and it covered over them skin from to above and [was] breath there not in them.
9 Ndipo aliponiambia, “Utabirie upepo, tabiri, mwanadamu na uuambie, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Njoo kutoka pande nne, ee pumzi, nawe upulizie pumzi ndani ya hawa waliouawa, ili wapate kuishi.’”
And he said to me prophesy to the breath prophesy O son of humankind and you will say to the breath thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh from four winds come O breath and blow on the killed ones these so they may live.
10 Hivyo nikatabiri kama alivyoniamuru, nayo pumzi ikawaingia, wakawa hai na wakasimama kwa miguu yao, jeshi kubwa mno.
And I prophesied just as he commanded me and it came in them the breath and they lived and they stood on feet their an army great very very.
11 Ndipo akaniambia: “Mwanadamu, mifupa hii ni nyumba yote ya Israeli. Nao wanasema, ‘Mifupa yetu imekauka na tumaini letu limetoweka, tumekatiliwa mbali.’
And he said to me O son of humankind the bones these [are] all [the] house of Israel they there! [they are] saying they have dried up bones our and it has been lost hope our we have been cut off ourselves.
12 Hivyo watabirie na uwaambie: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Enyi watu wangu, nitayafunua makaburi yenu na kuwatoa ndani yake, nami nitawarudisha tena katika nchi ya Israeli.
Therefore prophesy and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to open graves your and I will bring up you from graves your O people my and I will bring you into [the] land of Israel.
13 Ndipo ninyi watu wangu, mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoyafunua makaburi yenu na kuwatoa humo.
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when open I graves your and when bring up I you from graves your O people my.
14 Nitatia Roho yangu ndani yenu nanyi mtaishi, nami nitawakalisha katika nchi yenu wenyewe. Ndipo mtakapojua kwamba Mimi Bwana nimenena, nami nitalitenda, asema Bwana!’”
And I will put spirit my in you and you will live and I will set down you on own land your and you will know that I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act [the] utterance of Yahweh.
15 Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
16 “Mwanadamu, chukua fimbo na uandike juu yake, ‘Hii ni kwa ajili ya Yuda na Waisraeli waliofungamana naye.’ Kisha chukua fimbo nyingine, uandike juu yake, ‘Fimbo ya Efraimu, ni kwa ajili ya Yosefu na nyumba yote ya Israeli wanaofungamana naye.’
And you O son of humankind take yourself a piece of wood one and write on it for Judah and for [the] people of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and take a piece of wood one and write on it for Joseph [the] piece of wood of Ephraim and all [the] house of Israel (associates its. *Q(K)*)
17 Ziunganishe pamoja kuwa fimbo moja ili kwamba ziwe fimbo moja katika mkono wako.
And bring near them one to one yourself into a piece of wood one and they will become one in hand your.
18 “Watu wako watakapokuuliza, ‘Je, hutatuambia ni nini maana ya jambo hili?’
And just when they will say to you [the] children of people your saying ¿ not will you tell to us what? [are] these [things] to you.
19 Waambie, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitaichukua fimbo ya Yosefu, iliyoko mikononi mwa Efraimu na ya makabila ya Israeli yanayofungamana naye na kuiunganisha na fimbo ya Yuda, nikizifanya kuwa fimbo moja, nao watakuwa wamoja katika mkono wangu.’
Speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] piece of wood of Joseph which [is] in [the] hand of Ephraim and [the] tribes of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and I will put them with it [the] piece of wood of Judah and I will make them into a piece of wood one and they will be one in hand my.
20 Inua mbele ya macho yao zile fimbo ulizoziandika
And they will be the pieces of wood which you will write on them in hand your to eyes their.
21 kisha waambie, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitawatoa Waisraeli katika mataifa walikokuwa wamekwenda. Nitawakusanya popote walipo na kuwarudisha katika nchi yao wenyewe.
And speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] people of Israel from between the nations where they have gone there and I will gather them from round about and I will bring them into own land their.
22 Nitawafanya kuwa taifa moja katika nchi, katika milima ya Israeli. Patakuwa na mfalme mmoja juu yao wote na kamwe hawatagawanyika tena kuwa mataifa mawili au kugawanyika katika falme mbili.
And I will make them into a nation one in the land on [the] mountains of Israel and a king one he will become of all of them king and not (they will become *Q(K)*) again two nations and not they will be divided again into two kingdoms again.
23 Hawatajitia tena unajisi kwa sanamu zao na vinyago vyao visivyo na maana wala kwa makosa yao yoyote, kwa maana nitawaokoa kutoka dhambi zao zote zilizowarudisha nyuma, nami nitawatakasa. Wao watakuwa watu wangu, nami nitakuwa Mungu wao.
And not they will make themselves unclean again by idols their and by abominations their and by all transgressions their and I will save them from all dwelling places their which they have sinned in them and I will cleanse them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
24 “‘Mtumishi wangu Daudi atakuwa mfalme juu yao, nao wote watakuwa na mchungaji mmoja. Watafuata sheria zangu na kuzishika amri zangu kwa uangalifu.
And servant my David [will be] king over them and a shepherd one he will belong to all of them and in judgments my they will walk and statutes my they will keep and they will do them.
25 Wataishi katika nchi niliyompa mtumishi wangu Yakobo, nchi ambamo baba zenu waliishi. Wao na watoto wao na watoto wa watoto wao wataishi humo milele, naye Daudi mtumishi wangu atakuwa mkuu wao milele.
And they will dwell on the land which I gave to servant my to Jacob which they dwelt in it ancestors your and they will dwell on it they and children their and [the] children of children their until perpetuity and David servant my [will be] prince of them for ever.
26 Nitafanya nao Agano la amani, litakuwa Agano la milele. Nitawafanya imara na kuongeza idadi yao, nami nitaweka mahali patakatifu pangu miongoni mwao milele.
And I will make to them a covenant of peace a covenant of perpetuity it will be with them and I will give them and I will increase them and I will put sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
27 Maskani yangu yatakuwa pamoja nao, nitakuwa Mungu wao, nao watakuwa watu wangu.
And it will be dwelling place my with them and I will become for them God and they they will become for me a people.
28 Ndipo mataifa watakapojua kwamba Mimi Bwana ndiye ninayeifanya Israeli kuwa takatifu, wakati mahali patakatifu pangu patakapokuwa miongoni mwao milele.’”
And they will know the nations that I Yahweh [am] sanctifying Israel when is sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
