¹Bola nado mnou ruka Hospodinova, a vyviedol ma von v duchu Hospodinovom a postavil ma a nechal prostred údolia, ktoré bolo plné kostí.

¹There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,

²A previedol ma popri nich kolom dookola. A hľa, bolo ich veľmi mnoho na tvári údolia, a hľa, boly veľmi suché.

²and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.

³A riekol mi: Synu človeka, či ožijú tieto kosti? A ja som povedal: Pane, Hospodine, ty vieš.

³And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?` And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou — Thou hast known.`

⁴Vtedy mi riekol: Prorokuj o týchto kostiach a povieš im: Vy, suché kosti, počujte slovo Hospodinovo!

⁴And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:

⁵Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin týmto kostiam: Hľa, ja uvediem do vás ducha, a ožijete.

⁵Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,

⁶A dám na vás žily a spôsobím to, aby na vás vystúpilo telo a potiahnem vás kožou, dám do vás ducha a ožijete a zviete, že ja som Hospodin.

⁶and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

⁷Vtedy som prorokoval, ako mi bolo rozkázané. Tu povstal zvuk, keď som prorokoval, a hľa, bolo počuť hrkot, a kosti sa približovaly, kosť ku svojej kosti.

⁷And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.

⁸A videl som, že hľa, ukázaly sa na nich žily, a vystúpilo mäso, a koža ich potiahla po vrchu, ale ducha v nich nebolo.

⁸And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above — and spirit there is none in them.

⁹A riekol mi: Prorokuj k duchu, prorokuj, synu človeka, a povieš duchu: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Od štyroch vetrov prijdi, duchu, a vej na týchto pobitých, aby ožili!

⁹And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.`

¹⁰Nuž prorokoval som tak, ako mi rozkázal. A vošiel do nich duch, a ožili a postavili sa na svoje nohy, zástup vojska, veliký náramne.

¹⁰And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.

¹¹A riekol mi: Synu človeka, tieto kosti sú celý dom Izraelov. Hľa, hovoria: Naše kosti uschly, a zahynula naša nádej, už je po nás!

¹¹And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.

¹²Preto prorokuj a povieš im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja otvorím vaše hroby a vyvediem vás z vašich hrobov, môj ľude, a dovediem vás do zeme Izraelovej.

¹²Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.

¹³A zviete, že ja som Hospodin, keď otvorím vaše hroby a keď vás vyvediem z vašich hrobov, môj ľude.

¹³And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.

¹⁴A dám do vás svojho ducha, a ožijete, a osadím vás na vašej zemi, a zviete, že ja Hospodin som hovoril aj učiním, hovorí Hospodin.

¹⁴And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Jehovah.`

¹⁵A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

¹⁵And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

¹⁶A ty, synu človeka, vezmi si jedno drevo a napíš naň: Júdovi a synom Izraelovým, jeho spoločníkom. Potom vezmi druhé drevo a napíš naň: Jozefovi. Drevo Efraimovo a celého domu Izraelovho, jeho spoločníkov.

¹⁶`And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,

¹⁷A priblíž si ich jedno k druhému v jedno drevo, aby boly jedno v tvojej ruke.

¹⁷and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.

¹⁸Keď ti potom povedia synovia tvojho ľudu a rieknu: Či nám neoznámiš, načo ti je to?

¹⁸`And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee?

¹⁹Hovor im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja vezmem drevo Jozefovo, ktoré je v ruke Efraimovej, a pokolenia Izraelove, jeho spoločníkov, a dám ich aj s ním k drevu Júdovmu a učiním ich jedným drevom, a budú jedno v mojej ruke.

¹⁹Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.

²⁰A drevá, na ktoré napíšeš svojou rukou, budú pred ich očami.

²⁰And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,

²¹A hovor im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Hľa, ja vezmem synov Izraelových zpomedzi národov, kam odišli, a shromaždím ich zo všetkých strán a dovediem ich do ich zeme.

²¹and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.

²²A učiním ich jedným národom v zemi, na vrchoch Izraelových, a jeden kráľ bude im všetkým za kráľa, a nebudú viacej dvoma národami ani sa už nebudú viacej deliť na dve kráľovstvá, nikdy.

²²And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.

²³A nebudú sa viacej zanečisťovať svojimi ukydanými bohmi a svojimi mrzkosťami ani niktorými svojimi všelijakými prestúpeniami, a zachránim ich zo všetkých ich bydlísk, v ktorých hrešili, a očistím ich, a budú mi ľudom, a ja im budem Bohom.

²³Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to them for God.

²⁴A môj služobník Dávid bude kráľom nad nimi, a všetci budú mať jedného pastiera, budú chodiť v mojich súdoch a budú ostríhať moje ustanovenia a budú ich činiť.

²⁴And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.

²⁵Budú bývať na zemi, ktorú som dal svojmu služobníkovi Jakobovi, v ktorej bývali vaši otcovia, a budú bývať na nej oni aj ich synovia i synovia ich synov až na veky, a Dávid, môj služobník, im bude kniežaťom na veky.

²⁵And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son`s sons — unto the age, And David My servant [is] their prince — to the age.

²⁶A učiním s nimi smluvu pokoja; bude to večná smluva s nimi. A dám ich ta a rozmnožím ich a dám svoju svätyňu do ich stredu, a bude tak až na veky.

²⁶And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst — to the age.

²⁷A môj príbytok bude nad nimi, a budem im Bohom, a oni mi budú ľudom.

²⁷And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.

²⁸A tak zvedia národy, že ja som Hospodin, ktorý posväcujem Izraela, keď bude moja svätyňa v ich strede na veky.

²⁸And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst — to the age!`
