Ezequiel 37
Riveduta 1927
1La mano dell’Eterno fu sopra me, e l’Eterno mi trasportò in ispirito, e mi depose in mezzo a una valle ch’era piena d’ossa.
2E mi fece passare presso d’esse, tutt’attorno; ed ecco erano numerosissime sulla superficie della valle, ed erano anche molto secche.
3E mi disse: “Figliuol d’uomo, queste ossa potrebbero esse rivivere?” E io risposi: “O Signore, o Eterno, tu il sai”.
4Ed egli mi disse: “Profetizza su queste ossa, e di’ loro: Ossa secche, ascoltate la parola dell’Eterno!
5Così dice il Signore, l’Eterno, a queste ossa: Ecco, io faccio entrare in voi lo spirito, e voi rivivrete;
6e metterò su voi de’ muscoli, farò nascere su voi della carne, vi coprirò di pelle, metterò in voi lo spirito, e rivivrete; e conoscerete che io sono l’Eterno”.
7E io profetizzai come mi era stato comandato; e come io profetizzavo, si fece rumore; ed ecco un movimento, e le ossa s’accostarono le une alle altre.
8Io guardai, ed ecco venir su d’esse de’ muscoli, crescervi della carne, e la pelle ricoprirle; ma non c’era in esse spirito alcuno.
9Allora egli mi disse: “Profetizza allo spirito, profetizza, figliuol d’uomo, e di’ allo spirito: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Vieni dai quattro venti o spirito, soffia su questi uccisi, e fa’ che rivivano!”
10E io profetizzai, com’egli m’aveva comandato; e lo spirito entrò in essi, e tornarono alla vita, e si rizzarono in piedi: erano un esercito grande, grandissimo.
11Ed egli mi disse: “Figliuol d’uomo, queste ossa sono tutta la casa d’Israele. Ecco, essi dicono: Le nostra ossa sono secche, la nostra speranza e perita, noi siam perduti!
12Perciò, profetizza e di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Ecco, io aprirò i vostri sepolcri, vi trarrò fuori dalle vostre tombe, o popolo mio, e vi ricondurrò nel paese d’Israele.
13E voi conoscerete che io sono l’Eterno, quando aprirò i vostri sepolcri e vi trarrò fuori dalle vostre tombe, o popolo mio!
14E metterò in voi il mio spirito, e voi tornerete alla vita; vi porrò sul vostro suolo, e conoscerete che io, l’Eterno, ho parlato e ho messo la cosa ad effetto, dice l’Eterno”.
15E la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
16“E tu, figliuol d’uomo, prenditi un pezzo di legno, e scrivici sopra: Per Giuda, e per i figliuoli d’Israele, che sono associati. Poi prenditi un altro pezzo di legno, e scrivici sopra: Per Giuseppe, bastone d’Efraim e di tutta la casa d’Israele, che gli è associata.
17Poi accostali l’un all’altro per farne un solo pezzo di legno in modo che siano uniti nella tua mano.
18E quando i figliuoli del tuo popolo ti parleranno e ti diranno: Non ci spiegherai tu che cosa vuoi dire con queste cose?
19tu rispondi loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Ecco, io prenderò il pezzo di legno di Giuseppe ch’è in mano d’Efraim e le tribù d’Israele che sono a lui associate, e li unirò a questo, ch’è il pezzo di legno di Giuda, e ne farò un solo legno, in modo che saranno una sola cosa nella mia mano.
20E i legni sui quali tu avrai scritto, li terrai in mano tua, sotto i loro occhi.
21E di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Ecco, io prenderò i figliuoli d’Israele di fra le nazioni dove sono andati, li radunerò da tutte le parti, e li ricondurrò nel loro paese;
22e farò di loro una stessa nazione, nel paese, sui monti d’Israele; un solo re sarà re di tutti loro; e non saranno più due nazioni, e non saranno più divisi in due regni.
23E non si contamineranno più con i loro idoli, con le loro abominazioni né colle loro numerose trasgressioni; io trarrò fuori da tutti i luoghi dove hanno abitato e dove hanno peccato, e li purificherò, essi saranno mio popolo, e io sarò loro Dio.
24Il mio servo Davide sarà re sopra loro, ed essi avranno tutti un medesimo pastore; cammineranno secondo le mie prescrizioni, osserveranno le mie leggi, e le metteranno in pratica;
25e abiteranno nel paese che io detti al mio servo Giacobbe, e dove abitarono i vostri padri; vi abiteranno essi, i loro figliuoli e i figliuoli dei loro figliuoli in perpetuo; e il mio servo Davide sarà loro principe in perpetuo.
26E io fermerò con loro un patto di pace: sarà un patto perpetuo con loro; li stabilirò fermamente, li moltiplicherò, e metterò il mio santuario in mezzo a loro per sempre;
27la mia dimora sarà presso di loro, e io sarò loro Dio, ed essi saranno mio popolo.
28E le nazioni conosceranno che io sono l’Eterno che santifico Israele, quando il mio santuario sarà per sempre in mezzo ad essi.

1Y LA mano de Jehová fué sobre mí, y sacóme en espíritu de Jehová, y púsome en medio de un campo que estaba lleno de huesos.
2E hízome pasar cerca de ellos por todo alrededor: y he aquí que eran muy muchos sobre la haz del campo, y por cierto secos en gran manera.
3Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, ¿vivirán estos huesos? Y dije: Señor Jehová, tú lo sabes.
4Díjome entonces: Profetiza sobre estos huesos, y diles: Huesos secos, oid palabra de Jehová.
5Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová á estos huesos: He aquí, yo hago entrar espíritu en vosotros, y viviréis.
6Y pondré nervios sobre vosotros, y haré subir sobre vosotros carne, y os cubriré de piel, y pondré en vosotros espíritu, y viviréis; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
7Profeticé pues, como me fué mandado; y hubo un ruido mientras yo profetizaba, y he aquí un temblor, y los huesos se llegaron cada hueso á su hueso.
8Y miré, y he aquí nervios sobre ellos, y la carne subió, y la piel cubrió por encima de ellos: mas no había en ellos espíritu.
9Y díjome: Profetiza al espíritu, profetiza, hijo del hombre, y di al espíritu: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Espíritu, ven de los cuatro vientos, y sopla sobre estos muertos, y vivirán.
10Y profeticé como me había mandado, y entró espíritu en ellos, y vivieron, y estuvieron sobre sus pies, un ejército grande en extremo.
11Díjome luego: Hijo del hombre, todos estos huesos son la casa de Israel. He aquí, ellos dicen: Nuestros huesos se secaron, y pereció nuestra esperanza, y somos del todo talados.
12Por tanto profetiza, y diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí, yo abro vuestros sepulcros, pueblo mío, y os haré subir de vuestras sepulturas, y os traeré á la tierra de Israel.
13Y sabréis que yo soy Jehová, cuando abriere vuestros sepulcros, y os sacare de vuestras sepulturas, pueblo mío.
14Y pondré mi espíritu en vosotros, y viviréis, y os haré reposar sobre vuestra tierra; y sabréis que yo Jehová hablé, y lo hice, dice Jehová.
15Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
16Tú, hijo del hombre, tómate ahora un palo, y escribe en él: A Judá, y á los hijos de Israel sus compañeros. Toma después otro palo, y escribe en él: A José, palo de Ephraim, y á toda la casa de Israel sus compañeros.
17Júntalos luego el uno con el otro, para que sean en uno, y serán uno en tu mano.
18Y cuando te hablaren los hijos de tu pueblo, diciendo: ¿No nos enseñarás qué te propones con eso?
19Diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí, yo tomo el palo de José que está en la mano de Ephraim, y á las tribus de Israel sus compañeros, y pondrélos con él, con el palo de Judá, y harélos un palo, y serán uno en mi mano.
20Y los palos sobre que escribieres, estarán en tu mano delante de sus ojos;
21Y les dirás: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí, yo tomo á los hijos de Israel de entre las gentes á las cuales fueron, y los juntaré de todas partes, y los traeré á su tierra:
22Y los haré una nación en la tierra, en los montes de Israel; y un rey será á todos ellos por rey: y nunca más serán dos naciones, ni nunca más serán divididos en dos reinos:
23Ni más se contaminarán con sus ídolos, y con sus abominaciones, y con todas sus rebeliones: y los salvaré de todas sus habitaciones en las cuales pecaron, y los limpiaré; y me serán por pueblo, y yo á ellos por Dios.
24Y mi siervo David será rey sobre ellos, y á todos ellos será un pastor: y andarán en mis derechos, y mis ordenanzas guardarán, y las pondrán por obra.
25Y habitarán en la tierra que dí á mi siervo Jacob, en la cual habitaron vuestros padres; en ella habitarán ellos, y sus hijos, y los hijos de sus hijos para siempre; y mi siervo David les será príncipe para siempre.
26Y concertaré con ellos pacto de paz, perpetuo pacto será con ellos: y los asentaré, y los multiplicaré, y pondré mi santuario entre ellos para siempre.
27Y estará en ellos mi tabernáculo, y seré á ellos por Dios, y ellos me serán por pueblo.
28Y sabrán las gentes que yo Jehová santifico á Israel, estando mi santuario entre ellos para siempre.
King James Version
1The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6And I will lay 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 the LORD.
7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon 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 upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11Then 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 for our parts.
12Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be 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 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:
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 dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
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, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David 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 the midst of them for evermore.
27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

1The LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in the LORD’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle 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 GOD, you know.”
4Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.
5The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will 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 will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
7So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then 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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “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 completely cut off.’
12Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “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 will know that I am the LORD, 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 will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
15The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
16“You, 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.’
17Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18“When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
19tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “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 will be one in my hand.
20The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
21Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.
22I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23They won’t 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 they will be my people, and I will be their God.
24“‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them.
25They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.
26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.
27My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”
