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 كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَخْرَجَني بِرُوحِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَنْزَلَنِي فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْبُقْعَةِ وَهِيَ مَلآنَةٌ عِظَامًا،

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 وَأَمَرَّنِي عَلَيْهَا مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَإِذَا هِيَ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبُقْعَةِ، وَإِذَا هِيَ يَابِسَةٌ جِدًّا.

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 ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَحْيَا هَذِهِ ٱلْعِظَامُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ».

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 ٱلْعِظَامِ وَقُلْ لَهَا: أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِظَامُ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ، ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

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 هَكذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْعِظَامِ: هَأَنَذَا أُدْخِلُ فِيكُمْ رُوحًا فَتَحْيَوْنَ.

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 وَأَضَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَصَبًا وأَكْسِيكُمْ لَحْمًا وَأَبْسُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ جِلْدًا وَأَجْعَلُ فِيكُمْ رُوحًا، فَتَحْيَوْنَ وَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

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 فَتَنَبَّأْتُ كمَا أُمِرتُ. وَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَتنَبَّأُ كَانَ صَوْتٌ، وَإِذَا رَعْشٌ، فَتَقَارَبَتِ ٱلْعِظَامُ 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 ونَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِٱلْعَصَبِ وَٱللَّحْمِ كَسَاهَا، وبُسِطَ ٱلْجِلْدُ علَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلَيْسَ 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، تَنَبَّأْ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لِلرُّوحِ: هَكذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلُمَّ يَارُوحُ مِنَ ٱلرِّيَاحِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ وَهُبَّ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَتْلَى 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 أَمَرَني، فَدَخَلَ فِيهِمِ ٱلرُّوحُ، فَحَيُوا وَقَامُوا عَلَى أَقدَامِهِمْ جَيْشٌ عَظيمٌ جِدًّا جِدًّا.

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 ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَذِهِ ٱلعِظَامُ هِيَ كُلُّ بَيتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: يَبِسَتْ عِظَامُنَا وَهَلَكَ رَجَاؤُنَا. قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعْنَا.

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 وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَفتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وأُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ قُبُورِكُمْ يَا شَعْبِي، وَآتِي بِكُمْ 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 فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ عِنْدَ فَتْحِي قُبُورَكُمْ وَإِصْعَادِي إِيَّاكُمْ مِنْ قُبُورِكُمْ يَاشَعْبِي.

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 وأَجْعَلُ رُوحِي فِيكُمْ فتَحْيَوْنَ، وَأَجْعَلُكُمْ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأَفْعَلُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

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

15 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

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 ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ عَصًا وَاحِدَةً وَٱكْتُبْ عَلَيْهَا: لِيَهُوذَا وَلِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رُفَقَائِهِ. وَخُذْ عَصًا أُخْرَى وَٱكْتُبْ عَلَيْهَا: لِيُوسُفَ، عَصَا أَفْرَايِمَ وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رُفَقَائِهِ.

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

17 وَٱقْرِنْهُمَا ٱلْوَاحِدَةَ بِٱلْأُخْرَى كَعَصًا وَاحِدَةٍ، فَتَصِيرَا وَاحِدَةً فِي يَدِكَ.

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

18 فَإِذَا كَلَّمَكَ أَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ قَائِلِينَ: أَمَا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا لَكَ وَهَذَا؟

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: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا آخُذُ عَصَا يُوسُفَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَدِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَسْبَاطَ إِسْرَائِيلَ رُفَقَاءَهُ، وَأَضُمُّ إِلَيْهَا عَصَا يَهُوذَا، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ عَصًا وَاحِدَةً فَيَصِيرُونَ وَاحِدَةً فِي يَدِي.

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

20 وَتَكُونُ ٱلْعَصَوَانِ ٱللَّتَانِ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي يَدِكَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ.

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 وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا آخُذُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي ذَهَبُوا إِلَيْهَا، وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ 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 وَأُصَيِّرُهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَلِكٌ وَاحِدٌ يَكُونُ مَلِكًا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ، وَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ أُمَّتَيْنِ، وَلَا يَنْقَسِمُونَ بَعْدُ 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 وَلَا يَتَنَجَّسُونَ بَعْدُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ وَلَا بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ وَلَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ، بَلْ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَسَاكِنِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَخْطَأُوا، وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ فَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

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 وَدَاوُدُ عَبْدِي يَكُونُ مَلِكًا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيَكُونُ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ رَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ، فَيَسْلُكُونَ فِي أَحْكَامِي وَيَحْفَظُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا.

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 وَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ إِيَّاهَا، ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، وَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا هُمْ وَبَنُوهُمْ وَبَنُو بَنِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَعَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيسٌ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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 وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدَ سَلَامٍ، فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا مُؤَبَّدًا، وَأُقِرُّهُمْ وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَأَجْعَلُ مَقْدِسِي فِي وَسْطِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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

27 وَيَكُونُ مَسْكَنِي فَوْقَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.

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

28 فَتَعْلَمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ يَكُونُ مَقْدِسِي فِي وَسْطِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».
