Ezekiel 37
1 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.
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Lespri Bondye a pran m', li mennen m' nan yon fon ki te plen zosman.
2 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.
Li fè m' pwonmennen nan tout fon an, nan mitan zosman yo. Mwen wè te gen anpil anpil zosman atè nan fon an. Zosman yo te fin chèch nèt.
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?” And I said, “O Lord God, you know.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske zosman sa yo ka tounen vivan ankò? Mwen reponn: -Seyè sèl Mèt la, se ou ki konnen!
4 And he said to me, “Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: -Bay mesaj sa a pou zosman yo. W'a di zosman ki fin chèch yo pou yo koute pawòl Seyè a.
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
Wi, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral fè yon van soufle sou nou pou nou ka tounen vivan ankò.
6 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.”
M'ap mete venn sou nou, m'ap fè vyann pouse sou nou, m'ap kouvri nou ak po. M'ap mete souf nan nou, m'ap fè nou viv ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 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.
Mwen bay mesaj Bondye a jan li te ban m' lòd la. Antan m'ap pale konsa, mwen tande yon gwo bri, zosman yo pran deplase jouk yo jwenn plas yo yonn bò kote lòt.
8 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.
Mwen gade, mwen wè zosman yo te gen venn sou yo. Vyann t'ap pouse sou yo. Lèfini po kouvri yo tout. Men pa t' gen souf nan yo.
9 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.”
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a, pale ak van an. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Vini non! Soti nan kat bòn direksyon yo. Soufle sou tout mò sa yo, fè yo tounen vivan ankò.
10 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.
Se konsa, mwen bay mesaj la, jan li te ban m' lòd la. Souf la antre nan kadav yo, yo vin vivan ankò, yo kanpe sou de pye yo. Te gen anpil anpil moun, kont pou fè yon gwo lame.
11 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.’
Bondye di mwen: -Nonm o! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tankou zosman sa yo. Y'ap di: Nou fin deperi, nou pa gen espwa ankò. Nou fini nèt.
12 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.
Se poutèt sa, ba yo mesaj sa a. Di yo konsa: Men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral louvri tonm yo. Mwen pral fè yo soti ladan yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.
13 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.
Wi, m'a louvri tonm kote pèp mwen an te antere a, m'a fè yo soti nan tonm yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 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.”
M'ap mete souf mwen nan yo, m'ap fè yo tounen vivan ankò. M'ap fè yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa m' te di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l' vre. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
16 “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.’
-Nonm o! Pran yon moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jida ak moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo. Lèfini, pran yon lòt moso bwa. Ekri sou li: Jozèf osinon Efrayim ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap mache avè l' yo.
17 And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united in your hand.
Pran de moso bwa yo, kole yo bout pou bout, kenbe yo yon jan pou yo parèt tankou si se yon sèl bout bwa ou gen nan men ou.
18 Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: ‘Will you not tell us what you intend by this?’
Lè moun pèp ou yo va mande ou: Manyè di nou sa sa vle di.
19 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.
W'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Mwen pral pran bout bwa ki kanpe pou Jozèf osinon Efrayim ansanm ak branch fanmi Izrayèl k'ap mache ak li yo, m'ap mete l' ansanm ak bout bwa Jida a. M'ap fè yo fè yon sèl bout bwa. Epi, m'ap kenbe yo nan men mwen.
20 Then the pieces of wood, on which you have written, will be in your hand, before their eyes.
Kenbe de bout bwa yo nan men ou pou tout pèp la ka wè yo.
21 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.
Lèfini, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Mwen pral mache chache dènye moun pèp mwen an nan mitan tout nasyon kote yo te ale a. M'ap sanble yo soti toupatou, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi pa yo a.
22 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.
M'ap fè yo tounen yon sèl pèp nan peyi a ankò, sou mòn Izrayèl yo. Yo pral gen yon sèl wa pou gouvènen yo. Yo p'ap fè de peyi ankò. Yo p'ap fè de gouvènman ankò.
23 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.
Yo pa pral avili tèt yo ankò nan fè sèvis pou zidòl, nan fè bagay derespektan devan Bondye, nan fè sa yo pa t' gen dwa fè. M'ap delivre yo anba tout zidòl ki te fè yo vire do ban mwen an, ki te fè yo fè peche a. M'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo ka sèvi m' ankò. Y'ap tounen yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'ap Bondye yo.
24 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.
Yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, va chèf yo. Yo tout pral fè yonn anba yon sèl gadò. Y'a mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo, y'a fè tou sa mwen mande yo fè, y'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
25 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.
Y'ap rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan, peyi kote zansèt yo te viv la. Yo pral viv la pou tout tan, yo menm, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo pou tout tan. Se yon wa, tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, ki pral gouvènen yo pou tout tan gen tan.
26 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.
M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo k'ap garanti yo lavi ak kè poze pou tout tan. M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, m'ap fè yo peple. M'ap fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo.
27 And my tabernacle shall be among them. And I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Se la m'ap viv avèk yo. Se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Yo menm, se pèp ki rele m' pa m' lan y'ap ye.
28 And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary will be in their midst, forever.”
Wi, m'a fè kay ki apa pou mwen an toujou rete la nan mitan yo. Lè sa a, lòt nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka viv apa pou mwen.
