Prophetia Ezechielis, 37

1. Facta est super me manus Domini et eduxit me in spiri tu Domini et posuit me in medio campi, qui erat plenus ossibus,

1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; it was full of bones.

2. et circumduxit me per ea in gyro: erant autem multa valde super faciem campi siccaque vehementer.

2. And he led me round among them; and behold, there were very many upon the valley; and lo, they were very dry.

3. Et dixit ad me: “Fili hominis, putasne vivent ossa ista?”. Et dixi: “Domine, tu nosti”.

3. And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, thou knowest."

4. Et dixit ad me: “Vaticinare super ossa ista et dices eis: Ossa arida, audite verbum Domini.

4. Again he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5. Haec dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his: Ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum, et vivetis,

5. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.

6. et dabo super vos nervos et succrescere faciam super vos carnes et superextendam in vobis cutem et dabo vobis spiritum, et vivetis et scietis quia ego Dominus”.

6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD."

7. Et prophetavi, sicut praeceperat mihi. Factus est autem sonitus, prophetante me, et ecce commotio; et accesserunt ossa ad ossa, unumquodque ad iuncturam suam.

7. So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

8. Et vidi: et ecce super ea nervi et carnes ascenderunt, et extenta est in eis cutis desuper, sed spiritum non habebant.

8. And as I looked, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them.

9. Et dixit ad me: “Vaticinare ad spiritum; vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad spiritum: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: A quattuor ventis veni, spiritus, et insuffla super interfectos istos, ut reviviscant”.

9. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."

10. Et prophetavi, sicut praeceperat mihi, et ingressus est in ea spiritus; et vixerunt steteruntque super pedes suos, exercitus grandis nimis valde.

10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great host.

11. Et dixit ad me: “Fili hominis, ossa haec universa domus Israel est. Ipsi dicunt: “Aruerunt ossa nostra, et periit spes nostra, et abscissi sumus”.

11. Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, `Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.'

12. Propterea vaticinare et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego aperiam tumulos vestros et educam vos de sepulcris vestris, populus meus, et inducam vos in terram Israel;

12. Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you home into the land of Israel.

13. et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum aperuero sepulcra vestra et eduxero vos de tumulis vestris, populus meus.

13. And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.

14. Et dabo spiritum meum in vobis, et vivetis, et collocabo vos super humum vestram, et scietis quia ego Dominus. Locutus sum et facio”, ait Dominus Deus.

14. And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it, says the LORD."

15. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

15. The word of the LORD came to me:

16. “Et tu, fili hominis, sume tibi lignum unum et scribe super illud: Iudae et filiis Israel sociis eius. Et tolle lignum alterum et scribe super illud: Ioseph, lignum Ephraim, et cunctae domui Israel sociis eius.

16. "Son of man, take a stick and write on it, `For Judah, and the children of Israel associated with him'; then take another stick and write upon it, `For Joseph (the stick of E'phraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him';

17. Et adiunge illa unum ad alterum tibi in lignum unum; et erunt in unionem in manu tua.

17. and join them together into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.

18. Cum autem dixerint ad te filii populi tui loquentes: “Nonne indicas nobis, quid in his tibi velis?”,

18. And when your people say to you, `Will you not show us what you mean by these?'

19. loqueris ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam lignum Ioseph, quod est in manu Ephraim, et tribus Israel, quae iunctae sunt ei, et dabo eas pariter cum ligno Iudae et faciam eas in lignum unum, et erunt unum in manu mea.

19. say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am about to take the stick of Joseph (which is in the hand of E'phraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him; and I will join with it the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, that they may be one in my hand.

20. Erunt autem ligna, super quae scripseris, in manu tua in oculis eorum,

20. When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes,

21. et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego assumam filios Israel de medio nationum, ad quas abierunt, et congregabo eos undique et adducam eos ad humum suam

21. then say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all sides, and bring them to their own land;

22. et faciam eos in gentem unam in terra, in montibus Israel; et rex unus erit omnibus imperans, et non erunt ultra duae gentes nec dividentur amplius in duo regna.

22. and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms.

23. Neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis et abominationibus suis et in cunctis iniquitatibus suis, et salvos eos faciam de universis aversionibus suis, quibus peccaverunt, et mundabo eos, et erunt mihi populus, et ego ero eis Deus.

23. They shall not defile themselves any more with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

24. Et servus meus David rex super eos, et pastor unus erit omnium eorum; in iudiciis meis ambulabunt et mandata mea custodient et facient ea.

24. "My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow my ordinances and be careful to observe my statutes.

25. Et habitabunt super terram, quam dedi servo meo Iacob, in qua habitaverunt patres vestri; et habitabunt super eam, ipsi et filii eorum et filii filiorum eorum usque in sempiternum, et David servus meus princeps eorum in perpetuum.

25. They shall dwell in the land where your fathers dwelt that I gave to my servant Jacob; they and their children and their children's children shall dwell there for ever; and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.

26. Et percutiam illis foedus pacis, pactum sempiternum erit eis, et fundabo eos et multiplicabo; et dabo sanctuarium meum in medio eorum in perpetuum,

26. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27. et erit habitaculum meum in eis, et ero eis Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus;

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

28. et scient gentes quia ego Dominus sanctificator Israel, cum fuerit sanctuarium meum in medio eorum in perpetuum”.

28. Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for evermore."
