에스겔 37

1여호와께서 권능으로 내게 임하시고 그 신으로 나를 데리고 가서 골짜기 가운데 두셨는데 거기 뼈가 가득하더라 2나를 그 뼈 사방으로 지나게 하시기로 본즉 그 골짜기 지면에 뼈가 심히 많고 아주 말랐더라 3그가 내게 이르시되 인자야 이 뼈들이 능히 살겠느냐 하시기로 내가 대답하되 주 여호와여 주께서 아시나이다 4또 내게 이르시되 너는 이 모든 뼈에게 대언하여 이르기를 너희 마른 뼈들아 여호와의 말씀을 들을지어다 5주 여호와께서 이 뼈들에게 말씀하시기를 내가 생기로 너희에게 들어가게 하리니 너희가 살리라 6너희 위에 힘줄을 두고 살을 입히고 가죽으로 덮고 너희 속에 생기를 두리니 너희가 살리라 또 나를 여호와인 줄 알리라 하셨다 하라 7이에 내가 명을 좇아 대언하니 대언할 때에 소리가 나고 움직이더니 이 뼈, 저 뼈가 들어 맞아서 뼈들이 서로 연락하더라 8내가 또 보니 그 뼈에 힘줄이 생기고 살이 오르며 그 위에 가죽이 덮이나 그 속에 생기는 없더라 9또 내게 이르시되 인자야 너는 생기를 향하여 대언하라 생기에게 대언하여 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 생기야 사방에서부터 와서 이 사망을 당한 자에게 불어서 살게 하라 하셨다 하라 10이에 내가 그 명대로 대언하였더니 생기가 그들에게 들어가매 그들이 곧 살아 일어나서 서는데 극히 큰 군대더라 11또 내게 이르시되 인자야 이 뼈들은 이스라엘 온 족속이라 그들이 이르기를 우리의 뼈들이 말랐고 우리의 소망이 없어졌으니 우리는 다 멸절되었다 하느니라 12그러므로 너는 대언하여 그들에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 내 백성들아 내가 너희 무덤을 열고 너희로 거기서 나오게 하고 이스라엘 땅으로 들어가게 하리라 13내 백성들아 내가 너희 무덤을 열고 너희로 거기서 나오게 한즉 너희가 나를 여호와인 줄 알리라 14내가 또 내 신을 너희 속에 두어 너희로 살게 하고 내가 또 너희를 너희 고토에 거하게 하리니 나 여호와가 이 일을 말하고 이룬줄을 너희가 알리라 나 여호와의 말이니라 하셨다 하라 15여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대 16인자야 너는 막대기 하나를 취하여 그 위에 유다와 그 짝 이스라엘 자손이라 쓰고 또 다른 막대기 하나를 취하여 그 위에 에브라임의 막대기 곧 요셉과 그 짝 이스라엘 온 족속이라 쓰고 17그 막대기들을 서로 연합하여 하나가 되게 하라 네 손에서 둘이 하나가 되리라 18네 민족이 네게 말하여 이르기를 이것이 무슨 뜻인지 우리에게 고하지 아니하겠느냐 하거든 19너는 곧 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 내가 에브라임의 손에 있는바 요셉과 그 짝 이스라엘 지파들의 막대기를 취하여 유다의 막대기에 붙여서 한 막대기가 되게 한즉 내 손에서 하나가 되리라 하셨다 하고 20너는 그 글 쓴 막대기들을 무리의 목전에서 손에 잡고 21그들에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 내가 이스라엘 자손을 그 간바 열국에서 취하며 그 사면에서 모아서 그 고토로 돌아가게 하고 22그 땅 이스라엘 모든 산에서 그들로 한 나라를 이루어서 한 임금이 모두 다스리게 하리니 그들이 다시는 두 민족이 되지 아니하며 두 나라로 나누이지 아니할지라 23그들이 그 우상들과 가증한 물건과 그 모든 죄악으로 스스로 더럽히지 아니하리라 내가 그들을 그 범죄한 모든 처소에서 구원하여 정결케 한즉 그들은 내 백성이 되고 나는 그들의 하나님이 되리라 24내 조상 다윗이 그들의 왕이 되리니 그들에게 다 한 목자가 있을 것이라 그들이 내 규례를 준행하고 내 율례를 지켜 행하며 25내가 내 종 야곱에게 준 땅 곧 그 열조가 거하던 땅에 그들이 거하되 그들과 그 자자손손이 영원히 거기 거할 것이요 내 종 다윗이 영원히 그 왕이 되리라 26내가 그들과 화평의 언약을 세워서 영원한 언약이 되게 하고 또 그들을 견고하고 번성케 하며 내 성소를 그 가운데 세워서 영원히 이르게 하리니 27내 처소가 그들의 가운데 있을 것이며 나는 그들의 하나님이 되고 그들은 내 백성이 되리라 28내 성소가 영원토록 그들의 가운데 있으리니 열국이 나를 이스라엘을 거룩케 하는 여호와인 줄 알리라 하셨다 하라

1The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry. 3He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know. 4Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word. 5Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. 9Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live. 10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11Then 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. 12Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people. 14I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh. 15Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, 16You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. 18When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these? 19tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. 20The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. 21Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all; 23neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 24My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25They shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. 26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forever more. 27My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst forever more.

1De hand des HEEREN was op mij, en de HEERE voerde mij uit in den geest, en zette mij neder in het midden ener vallei; dezelve nu was vol beenderen. 2En Hij deed mij bij dezelve voorbijgaan geheel rondom; en ziet, er waren zeer vele op den grond der vallei; en ziet, zij waren zeer dor. 3En Hij zeide tot mij: Mensenkind! zullen deze beenderen levend worden? En ik zeide: Heere HEERE, Gij weet het! 4Toen zeide Hij tot mij: Profeteer over deze beenderen, en zeg tot dezelve: Gij dorre beenderen! hoort des HEEREN woord. 5Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE tot deze beenderen: Ziet, Ik zal den geest in u brengen, en gij zult levend worden. 6En Ik zal zenuwen op u leggen, en vlees op u doen opkomen, en een huid over u trekken, en den geest in u geven, en gij zult levend worden; en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 7Toen profeteerde ik, gelijk mij bevolen was, en er werd een geluid, als ik profeteerde, en ziet een beroering! en de beenderen naderden, elk been tot zijn been. 8En ik zag, en ziet, en er werden zenuwen op dezelve, en er kwam vlees op; en Hij trok een huid boven over dezelve, maar er was geen geest in hen. 9En Hij zeide tot mij: Profeteer tot den geest; profeteer, mensenkind! en zeg tot den geest: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Gij geest! kom aan van de vier winden, en blaas in deze gedoden, opdat zij levend worden. 10En ik profeteerde, gelijk als Hij mij bevolen had. Toen kwam de geest in hen, en zij werden levend en stonden op hun voeten, een gans zeer groot heir. 11Toen zeide Hij tot mij: Mensenkind! deze beenderen zijn het ganse huis Israels; ziet, zij zeggen: Onze beenderen zijn verdord, en onze verwachting is verloren, wij zijn afgesneden. 12Daarom, profeteer en zeg tot hen: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ziet, Ik zal uw graven openen, en zal ulieden uit uw graven doen opkomen, o Mijn volk! en Ik zal u brengen in het land Israels. 13En gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, als Ik uw graven zal hebben geopend, en als Ik u uit uw graven zal hebben doen opkomen, o Mijn volk! 14En Ik zal Mijn Geest in u geven, en gij zult leven, en Ik zal u in uw land zetten; en gij zult weten, dat Ik, de HEERE, dit gesproken en gedaan heb, spreekt de HEERE. 15Wijders geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 16Gij nu, mensenkind! neem u een hout, en schrijf daarop: Voor Juda, en voor de kinderen Israels, zijn metgezellen; en neem een ander hout, en schrijf daarop: Voor Jozef, het hout van Efraim, en van het ganse huis Israels, zijn metgezellen. 17Doe gij ze dan naderen, het een tot het ander tot een enig hout; en zij zullen tot een worden in uw hand. 18En wanneer de kinderen uws volks tot u zullen spreken, zeggende: Zult gij ons niet te kennen geven, wat u deze dingen zijn? 19Zo spreek tot hen: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ziet, Ik zal het hout van Jozef, dat in Efraims hand geweest is, en van de stammen Israels, zijn metgezellen, nemen, en Ik zal dezelve met hem voegen tot het hout van Juda, en zal ze maken tot een enig hout; en zij zullen een worden in Mijn hand. 20De houten nu, op dewelke gij zult geschreven hebben, zullen in uw hand zijn voor hunlieder ogen. 21Spreek dan tot hen: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ziet, Ik zal de kinderen Israels halen uit het midden der heidenen, waarhenen zij getogen zijn, en zal ze vergaderen van rondom, en brengen hen in hun land; 22En Ik zal ze maken tot een enig volk in het land, op de bergen Israels; en zij zullen allen te zamen een enigen Koning tot koning hebben; en zij zullen niet meer tot twee volken zijn, noch voortaan meer in twee koninkrijken verdeeld zijn. 23En zij zullen zich niet meer verontreinigen met hun drekgoden, en met hun verfoeiselen, en met al hun overtredingen; en Ik zal ze verlossen uit al hun woonplaatsen, in dewelke zij gezondigd hebben, en zal ze reinigen; zo zullen zij Mij tot een volk zijn, en Ik zal hun tot een God zijn. 24En Mijn Knecht David zal Koning over hen zijn; en zij zullen allen te zamen een Herder hebben; en zij zullen in Mijn rechten wandelen, en Mijn inzettingen bewaren en die doen. 25En zij zullen wonen in het land, dat Ik Mijn knecht Jakob gegeven heb, waarin uw vaders gewoond hebben; ja, daarin zullen zij wonen, zij en hun kinderen, en hun kindskinderen tot in eeuwigheid, en Mijn Knecht David zal hunlieder Vorst zijn tot in eeuwigheid. 26En Ik zal een verbond des vredes met hen maken, het zal een eeuwig verbond met hen zijn; en Ik zal ze inzetten en zal ze vermenigvuldigen, en Ik zal Mijn heiligdom in het midden van hen zetten tot in eeuwigheid. 27En Mijn tabernakel zal bij hen zijn, en Ik zal hun tot een God zijn, en zij zullen Mij tot een volk zijn. 28En de heidenen zullen weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, Die Israel heilige, als Mijn heiligdom in het midden van hen zal zijn tot in eeuwigheid.
