< Ezekiel 37 >
1 Ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumasa akin, at kaniyang dinala ako sa Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inilagay niya ako sa gitna ng libis; at yao'y puno ng mga buto.
The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
2 At pinaraan niya ako sa tabi ng mga yaon sa palibot: at, narito, may totoong marami sa luwal na libis; at, narito, mga totoong tuyo.
And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
3 At kaniyang sinabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, maaari bagang mabuhay ang mga butong ito? At ako'y sumagot, Oh Panginoong Dios; ikaw ang nakakaalam.
And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
4 Muling sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa mga butong ito, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Oh kayong mga tuyong buto, inyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon.
And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
5 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa mga butong ito: Narito, aking papapasukin ang hinga sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay.
This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
6 At lalagyan ko kayo ng mga litid, at babalutin ko kayo ng laman, at tatakpan ko kayo ng balat, at lalagyan ko kayo ng hininga, at kayo'y mangabubuhay; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.
And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
7 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos sa akin: at habang ako'y nanghuhula, may naghinugong, at, narito, isang lindol; at ang mga buto ay nangagkalapit, buto sa kaniyang buto.
So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, may mga litid sa mga yaon, at laman ay lumitaw sa mga yaon at ang balat ay tumakip sa mga yaon sa ibabaw; nguni't walang hininga sa kanila.
And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa hangin, manghula ka, anak ng tao, at sabihin mo sa hangin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Manggaling ka sa apat na hangin, Oh hinga, at humihip ka sa mga patay na ito, upang sila'y mangabuhay.
And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
10 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos niya sa akin, at ang hininga ay pumasok sa kanila, at sila'y nangabuhay, at nagsitayo ng kanilang mga paa, isang totoong malaking pulutong.
And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ang mga butong ito ay ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel: narito, kanilang sinasabi, Ang ating mga buto ay natuyo, at ang ating pagasa ay nawala; tayo'y lubos na nahiwalay.
Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
12 Kaya't manghula ka, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking bubuksan ang inyong mga libingan, at aking pasasampahin kayo mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko; at aking dadalhin kayo sa lupain ng Israel.
For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
13 At inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking binuksan ang inyong libingan, at aking pinasampa kayo na mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
14 At aking ilalagay ang aking Espiritu sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay, at aking ilalagay kayo sa inyong sariling lupain, at inyong mangalalaman na akong Panginoon ang nagsalita, at nagsagawa, sabi ng Panginoon.
And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
15 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 At ikaw, anak ng tao, kumuha ka ng isang tungkod, at sulatan mo sa ibabaw, Sa Juda at sa mga anak ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: saka kumuha ka ng ibang tungkod, at iyong sulatan: Sa Jose, na siyang tungkod ng Ephraim, at sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama:
And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
17 At iyong papagugnayugnayin sa ganang iyo na maging isang tungkod, upang maging isa sa iyong kamay.
Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
18 At pagka ang mga anak ng iyong bayan ay mangagsasalita sa iyo, na mangagsasabi, Hindi mo baga ipakikilala sa amin kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga ito?
And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
19 Sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang tungkod ng Jose, na nasa kamay ng Ephraim, at ang mga lipi ng Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: at akin silang isasama roon, sa tungkod ng Juda, at gagawin ko silang isang tungkod, at sila'y magiging isa sa aking kamay.
Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
20 At ang tungkod na iyong sinusulatan ay hahawakan mo sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.
And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 At sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang mga anak ni Israel mula sa gitna ng mga bansa, na kanilang pinaroonan, at pipisanin ko sila sa lahat ng dako, at dadalhin ko sila sa kanilang sariling lupain:
And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
22 At gagawin ko silang isang bansa sa lupain, sa mga bundok ng Israel; at isang hari ang magiging hari sa kanilang lahat; at hindi na sila magiging dalawang bansa, o mahahati pa man sila sa dalawang kaharian;
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
23 At hindi na naman mapapahamak pa sila ng dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan, o sa kanila mang mga kasuklamsuklam na bagay, o sa anoman sa kanilang mga pagsalangsang; kundi aking ililigtas sila mula sa lahat nilang tahanang dako, na kanilang pinagkasalanan, at lilinisin ko sila: sa gayo'y magiging bayan ko sila, at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios.
And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
24 At ang aking lingkod na si David ay magiging hari sa kanila; at silang lahat ay magkakaroon ng isang pastor; magsisilakad din naman sila ng ayon sa aking mga kahatulan, at susundin ang aking mga palatuntunan, at isasagawa.
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
25 At sila'y magsisitahan sa lupain na aking ibinigay kay Jacob na aking lingkod, na tinahanan ng inyong mga magulang; at sila'y magsisitahan doon, sila at ang kanilang mga anak, at ang mga anak ng kanilang mga anak, magpakailan man: at si David na aking lingkod ay magiging kanilang prinsipe magpakailan man.
And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
26 Bukod dito'y makikipagtipan ako ng tipan ng kapayapaan sa kanila; magiging tipan na walang hanggan sa kanila; at aking ilalagay sila, at pararamihin sila at itatatag ko ang aking santuario sa gitna nila magpakailan man.
And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
27 Ang aking tabernakulo naman ay mapapasa gitna nila; at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios, at sila'y magiging aking bayan.
And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
28 At malalaman ng mga bansa na ako ang Panginoon na nagpapabanal sa Israel, pagka ang aking santuario ay mapapasa gitna nila magpakailan man.
And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
