Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that 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 about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding 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, dost thou think these bones shall live? And I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.
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 concerning these bones; and say to them: Ye dry bones, hear 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 saith 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 lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: 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 as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one to 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 the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in 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 say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.
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 as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding 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 up, and our hope is lost, and we are 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 Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring 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 shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, 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 shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken, and done it, saith 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 thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates.
-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 them one to the other into one stick, and they shall become one in thy 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 And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying: Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this?
Lè moun pèp ou yo va mande ou: Manyè di nou sa sa vle di.
19 Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall 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 And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand, before their eyes.
Kenbe de bout bwa yo nan men ou pou tout pèp la ka wè yo.
21 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from the midst of the nations whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will bring them to their own land.
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 shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, neither shall 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 Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them: and they shall 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 king over them, and they shall have one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my commandments, and 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 dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
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 make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
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 with them: and I will be their God, and they shall 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 nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
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.
