Ezekiel 37

1 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.

1 وَكَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى وَسَطِ وَادٍ مَلِيءٍ بِعِظَامٍ،

2 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.

2 وَجَعَلَنِي أَجْتَازُ بَيْنَهَا وَحَوْلَهَا، وَإذَا بِها كَثِيرَةٌ جِدّاً، تُغَطِّي سَطْحَ أَرْضِ الْوَادِي، كَمَا كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةَ الْيُبُوسَةِ.

3 Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”

3 فَقَالَ لِي «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَيُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَحْيَا هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ».

4 And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

4 فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْعِظَامِ وَقُلْ لَهَا: اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الْعِظَامُ الْيَابِسَةُ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ:

5 This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.

5 هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رُوحاً يَدْخُلُ فِيكِ فَتَحْيَيْنِ.

6 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.’”

6 وَأَكْسُوكِ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ، وَأَبْسُطُ عَلَيْكِ جِلْداً وَأَجْعَلُ فِيكِ رُوحاً فَتَحْيَيْنِ وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

7 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.

7 وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، حَدَثَ صَوْتُ جَلَبَةٍ وَزَلْزَلَةٍ، فَتَقَارَبَتِ الْعِظَامُ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ إِلَى عَظْمِهِ،

8 As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.

8 وَاكْتَسَتْ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ وَبُسِطَ عَلَيْهَا الْجِلْدُ. إِنَّمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا رُوحٌ

9 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!”

9 فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ لِلرُّوحِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَيَّا يَا رُوحُ أَقْبِلْ مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ الأَرْبَعِ وَهُبَّ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ الْقَتْلَى لِيَحْيَوْا».

10 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.

10 فَتَنَبَّأْتُ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ، فَدَخَلَ فِيهِمِ الرُّوحُ فَدَبَّتْ فِيهِمِ الْحَيَاةُ، وَانْتَصَبُوا عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ جَيْشاً عَظِيماً جِدّاً جِدّاً.

11 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.’

11 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ هِيَ جُمْلَةُ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ عِظَامُنَا وَمَاتَ رَجَاؤُنَا وَانْقَطَعْنَا.

12 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.

12 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقْلُ لَهُمْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَا شَعْبِي وَأُحْضِرُكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

13 Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.

13 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَا شَعْبِي.

14 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.’”

14 وَأَضَعُ رُوحِي فِيكُمْ فَتَحْيَوْنَ، وَأَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأَنْجَزْتُ مَا وَعَدْتُ بِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

15 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

16 “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.’

16 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، خُذْ لَكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيَهُوذَا وَلأَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، ثُمَّ خُذْ قَضِيباً آخَرَ وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيُوسُفَ، قَضِيبُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ.

17 Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.

17 وَضُمَّهُمَا مَعاً كَقَضِيبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَيُصْبِحَا فِي يَدِكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً.

18 When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’

18 وَإذَا سَأَلَكَ أَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ: أَلا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا؟

19 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.’

19 فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ قَضِيبَ يُوسُفَ الَّذِي فِي حَوْزَةِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، وَأَضُمُّ إِلَيْهِ قَضِيبَ يَهُوذَا، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ جَمِيعاً قَضِيباً وَاحِداً فَيُصْبِحُونَ وَاحِداً فِي يَدِي.

20 When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,

20 وَيَكُونُ فِي يَدِكَ، عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمُ الْقَضِيبَانِ اللَّذَانِ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمَا.

21 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.

21 وَهَا أَنَا أَحْشِدُ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا فِيهَا وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ.

22 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.

22 وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَعَلَى الْجِبَالِ، تَحْتَ رِيَاسَةِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَلا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ أُمَّتَيْنِ، وَلا يَنْقَسِمُونَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتَيْنِ.

23 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.

23 وَلا يَتَدَنَّسُونَ بَعْدُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ وَلا بِأَيٍّ مِنْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ، بَلْ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنْ مَوَاطِنِ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ فَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

24 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.

24 وَيُصْبِحُ دَاوُدُ عَبْدِي مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ جَمِيعاً رَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ فَيُمَارِسُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَيُطِيعُونَ فَرَائِضِي عَامِلِينَ بِها.

25 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.

25 وَيُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا هُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَأَحْفَادُهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَيَكُونُ عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيساً عَلَيْهِمْ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

26 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.

26 وَأُبْرِمُ مَعَهُمْ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ، فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا، وَأُوَطِّنُهُمْ وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَأُقِيمُ مَقْدِسِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.

27 وَيَكُونُ مَسْكَنِي مَعَهُمْ، فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً.

28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”

28 فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حِينَ يَكُونُ مَقْدِسِي قَائِماً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».
