37 I pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau, a kawea ana ahau, ara e to Ihowa wairua, tukua iho ana ahau e ia ki waenganui o te raorao; na kapi tonu a reira i te wheua.
2 Na ka whakahaereerea ahau e ia ki te taha o aua wheua a taka noa, taka noa; na, he tini ke i runga i te mata o te raorao; nana, he maroke rawa aua mea.
3 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e ora ranei enei wheua? Ano ra ko ahau, E mohio ana koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.
4 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Poropiti ki enei whenua, mea atu ki a ratou, E nga wheua maroke nei, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa.
5 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki enei wheua, Nana, ka meinga e ahau he manawa kia tomo ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou.
6 A ka hoatu e ahau he uaua ki runga ki a koutou, ka whakaputaina ake he kikokiko ki a koutou, ka hipokina koutou ki te kiri, ka hoatu ano e ahau he manawa ki roto ki a koutou, na ka ora koutou; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
7 Heoi poropititia ana e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau; a, i ahau e poropiti ana, na he haruru, na he ru, a whakatata ana nga wheua, tona wheua ki tona wheua.
8 A ka titiro atu ahau, nana, he uaua i runga i a ratou, kua puta ake he kikokiko, a he kiri e hipoki ana i waho ake i a ratou: otiia kahore he manawa i roto i a ratou.
9 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Poropiti ki te hau, poropiti, e te tama a te tangata, mea atu hoki ki te hau, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Haere mai i nga hau e wha, e te manawa, e ha ki runga ki tenei hunga kua oti nei te patu, kia ora ai rat ou.
10 Heoi ka poropititia e ahau te mea i whakahaua e ia ki ahau; na ko te taenga mai o te manawa ki roto ki a ratou, kua ora, tu ana i runga i o ratou waewae, he ope tino nui.
11 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko enei wheua ko te whare katoa o Iharaira: nana, kei te ki ake ratou, Kua maroke o tatou wheua, kua ngaro ta tatou i tumanako ai; kua motuhia ketia tatou.
12 Mo reira poropiti, ki atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, e taku iwi, ka huakina ake e ahau o koutou urupa, ka meinga kia puta ake hoki koutou i o koutou urupa, ka kawea ki te oneone o Iharaira.
13 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina huakina e ahau o koutou urupa, e taku iwi, a ka meinga koutou e ahau kia puta ake i o koutou urupa.
14 A ka hoatu e ahau toku wairua ki roto ki a koutou, a ka ora koutou, a ka whakanohoia koutou e ahau ki to koutou ake oneone: ko reira koutou mohio ai, naku, na Ihowa, i korero, a naku ano i mahi, e ai ta Ihowa.
15 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
16 Na, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, tikina tetahi rakau mau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hura, mo ona hoa ano, mo nga tama a Iharaira: na tikina atu ano tetahi rakau, tuhituhia iho, He mea mo Hohepa, ko te rakau o Eparaima, mo ona hoa hoki, mo te w hare katoa o Iharaira.
17 Na me hono raua, tetahi ki tetahi; a hei rakau kotahi raua i roto i tou ringa.
18 Na ki te korero nga tamariki a tou iwi ki a koe, ki te mea, E kore ianei e whakaaturia e koe ki a matou he aha te tikanga o enei mea au?
19 Mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana ka mau ahau ki te rakau o Hohepa, ki tera i te ringa o Eparaima, ki ona hoa ano, ki nga iwi o Iharaira; a ka whakatakotoria ratou e ahau ki tera, ara ki te rakau o Hura, ka meinga ho ki raua hei rakau kotahi, a ka kotahi tonu raua i roto i toku ringa.
20 Na, ko nga rakau e tuhituhi ai koe ki runga, hei roto i tou ringa i to ratou aroaro.
21 A ka mea atu koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka tangohia e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i nga iwi i haere atu nei ratou, ka kohikohia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ka kawea ki to ratou oneone.
22 Ka meinga hoki ratou e ahau hei iwi kotahi ki te whenua, ki nga maunga o Iharaira; a kotahi tonu he kingi hei kingi mo ratou katoa; kore ake o ratou iwi e rua i muri nei, heoi rawa o ratou wehenga kia rua kingitanga.
23 Kore ake ano o ratou poke i a ratou whakapakoko, i a ratou mea whakarihariha, i o ratou kino katoa: engari ka whakaorangia ratou e ahau i o ratou nohoanga katoa, i nga wahi i hara ai ratou, ka purea: ko ratou hoki hei iwi maku, ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou.
24 Ko taku pononga hoki, ko Rawiri hei kingi mo ratou; a kotahi tonu te hepara mo ratou katoa: ka haere hoki ratou i runga i aku ritenga, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, ka mahi.
25 A ka noho ratou i te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki taku pononga, ki a Hakopa, ki te wahi i noho ai o koutou matua; ka noho ano ratou ki reira, ratou, a ratou tama, me nga tama ano a a ratou tama a ake ake: a ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri hei rangatira m o ratou a ake ake.
26 Ka whakaritea ano e ahau te kawenata mo te rongo mau ki a ratou; hei kawenata mau tonu tena ki a ratou; ka whakanohoia ano ratou e ahau, ka whakanuia, ka whakaturia ano e ahau toku wahi tapu ki waenganui i a ratou a ake ake.
27 Na ki a ratou toku tapenakara: a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou ano hei iwi maku.
28 A ka mohio nga tauiwi ko ahau a Ihowa e whakatapu nei i a Iharaira, i te mea kei waenganui nei toku wahi tapu i a ratou a ake ake.

The Valley of Dry Bones
37 The hand of the Lord was on me,(A) and he brought me out by the Spirit(B) of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley;(C) it was full of bones.(D) 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.(E)”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!(F) 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life.(G) 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(H)’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath;(I) prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds(J) and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded(K) me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.(L)
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’(M) 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.(N) 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord,(O) when I open your graves and bring you up from them.(P) 14 I will put my Spirit(Q) in you and you will live, and I will settle(R) you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.(S)’”
One Nation Under One King
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites(T) associated with him.(U)’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ 17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.(V)
18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’(W) 19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’(X) 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.(Y) 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.(Z) There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.(AA) 23 They will no longer defile(AB) themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[b](AC) and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.(AD)
24 “‘My servant David(AE) will be king(AF) over them, and they will all have one shepherd.(AG) They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.(AH) 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived.(AI) They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever,(AJ) and David my servant will be their prince forever.(AK) 26 I will make a covenant of peace(AL) with them; it will be an everlasting covenant.(AM) I will establish them and increase their numbers,(AN) and I will put my sanctuary among them(AO) forever.(AP) 27 My dwelling place(AQ) will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.(AR) 28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy,(AS) when my sanctuary is among them forever.(AT)’”
