¹The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and Jehovah carried me out in the Spirit, and set me down in the midst of a valley; and it was full of bones.

¹[Fanoharana ny amin'ny hampodiana ny Isiraely, sy ny hanakambanana azy ho firenena iray hanjakan'i Davida] Tao amiko ny tànan'i Jehovah, ary ny Fanahy no nitondran'i Jehovah ahy nivoaka, dia napetrany teo amin'ny lohasaha feno taolana aho.

²And he caused me to pass by them round about; and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.

²Ary nitondra ahy nandehandeha teny amin'ireo Izy; ary, indreo, betsaka dia betsaka teny amin'ny lohasaha ireo, ary, indreo, maina dia maina Ireo.

³And he said unto me, Son of man, Shall these bones live? And I said, Lord Jehovah, thou knowest.

³Ary hoy Jebovah tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, moa mety ho velona ihany va ireto taolana ireto? Ary hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo ô, Hianao no mahalala.

⁴And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.

⁴Dia hoy indray Izy tamiko: Maminania amin'ireto taolana ireto, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Ry taola-maina, mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah!

⁵Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.

⁵Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo amin'ireto taolana ireto: Indro, hasiako fofonaina ianareo ka ho velona;

⁶And I will put sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

⁶ary hasiako ozatra ianareo ka hampaniriko nofo; ary hosaronako hoditra ianareo; ary hasiako fofonaina ianareo ka ho velona; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

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

⁷Dia naminany aho araka izay efa nandidiana ahy, ary nony efa naminany aho. dia injany! nisy feo, ary, indreo, nihetsiketsika sady nifanatonatona ny taolana, samy nanatona ny taolana namany avy.

⁸And I looked, and behold, sinews and flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

⁸Ary hitako fa, indro, naniry ny ozatra sy ny nofo, ary nisarona hoditra izy, nefa tsy mbola nisy fofonaina tao aminy.

⁹And he said unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

⁹Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Maminania amin'ny fofonaina, eny, maminania. ry zanak'olona, ka ataovy amin'ny fofonaina hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Manatona avy amin'ny rivotra efatra, ry fofonaina, ka tsotsofy ireo voavono ireo, mba ho velona izy.

¹⁰And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

¹⁰Dia naminany araka izay efa nandidiany ahy aho, ka dia nidiran'ny fofonaina ireo ka velona, dia nijoro tamin'ny tongony izy maro be dia maro be tokoa.

¹¹And he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off!

¹¹Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, ireto taolana ireto dia ny taranak'Isiraely rehetra; indreo izy manao hoe: Maina ny taolanay, levona ny fanantenanay, fongotra izahay.

¹²Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and bring you into the land of Israel.

¹²Koa maminania, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ry oloko, Izaho no hanokatra ny fasanareo, ary hampiakariko avy amin'ny fasanareo ianareo, ka ho entiko ho any amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely;

¹³And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and have caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.

¹³ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha manokatra ny fasanareo Aho, ry oloko, ka mampiakatra anareo hiala amin'ny fasanareo.

¹⁴And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken, and have done [it], saith Jehovah.

¹⁴Ary hataoko ao anatinareo ny Fanahiko, dia ho velona ianareo, ary hamponeniko any amin'ny taninareo ianareo; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho Jehovah no efa niteny sady nahatanteraka izany, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁵And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹⁵Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

¹⁶And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel, his companions. And take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.

¹⁶Ary ianao, ry zanak'olona, dia mangalà tapa-kazo iray, ka asio soratra hoe: Ho an'ny Joda sy ho an'ny zanak'Isiraely namany; dia mangalà tapa-kazo anankiray koa, ka asio soratra hoe: Ho an'i Josefa dia tapa-kazon'i Efraima sy ho an'ny taranak'Isiraely namany rehetra.

¹⁷And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.

¹⁷Ary ampifanatony izy roa ho tonga tapa-kazo iray ihany, dia ho iray eny an-tananao izy.

¹⁸And when the children of my people speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not declare unto us what thou meanest by these?

¹⁸Ary raha miteny aminao ny zanaky ny firenenao manao hoe: Moa tsy hilaza izay hevitrao amin'izany va ianao?

¹⁹say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with this, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.

¹⁹dia ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho haka ny tapa-kazon'i Josefa, izay eny an-tanan'i Efraima, sy ny firenen'ny Isiraely namany, ary hakambako ho eo amin'ny tapa-kazon'i Joda izy, ary hataoko tapa-kazo iray ihany izy ka ho tonga iray eny an-tanako.

²⁰And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

²⁰Ary ny tapa-kazo izay hasianao soratra dia ho eny an-tananao eo imasony.

²¹And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them from every side, and bring them into their own land:

²¹Dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho haka ny zanak'Isiraely avy any amin'ny jentilisa izay nalehany, eny, hangoniko avy any amin'ny manodidina any izy ka ho entiko ho any amin'ny taniny:

²²and I will make them one nation in the land upon 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.

²²ary hataoko ho firenena iray any amin'ny tany izy, dia any an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, ary mpanjaka iray ihany no ho mpanjakan'izy rehetra, ka tsy ho firenena roa intsony izy ary tsy hisaraka ho fanjakana roa intsony.

²³And they shall not defile themselves any more with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; and I will save them out of all their dwelling-places wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

²³Ary tsy handoto tena amin'ny sampiny, na amin'ny fahavetavetany, na amin'ny fahadisoany intsony izy; fa hovonjeko ho afaka amin'ny fonenany rehetra izay nanotany izy, ary hodioviko izy, ka dia ho oloko, ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny.

²⁴And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: and they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my statutes, and do them.

²⁴Ary Davida Mpanompoko no ho Mpanjakany; ary hiray Mpiandry izy rehetra, dia handeha araka ny fitsipiko izy sady hitandrina ny lalàko sy hankatò izany.

²⁵And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.

²⁵Ary honina any amin'ny tany izay nomeko an'i Jakoba mpanompoko izy, dia ilay efa nonenan'ny razanareo, ka honina any izy sy ny zanany mbamin'ny zafiny mandrakizay; ary Davida mpanompoko no ho Mpanapaka azy mandrakizay.

²⁶And 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 the midst of them for ever.

²⁶Ary hanao fanekem-pihavanana ho azy Aho, ka ho fanekena mandrakizay eo aminy any, ary hametraka sy hahamaro azy Aho sady hametraka ny fitoerako masina eo aminy mandrakizay.

²⁷And my tabernacle shall be over them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

²⁷Ary ny tabernakeliko ho eo aminy; ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny, ary izy ho oloko.Ka dia ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasina ny Isiraely amin'ny isian'ny fitoerako masina eo aminy mandrakizay.

²⁸And the nations shall know that I Jehovah do hallow Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.

²⁸Ka dia ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa Izaho Jehovah no manamasina ny Isiraely amin'ny isian'ny fitoerako masina eo aminy mandrakizay.
