1 La mano de Yavé vino sobre mí. Yavé me llevó en su Espíritu y me puso en medio de un valle que estaba lleno de huesos.
1 Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2 Me impulsó a pasar cerca y alrededor de ellos. Vi que había muchísimos [huesos] en la superficie del valle y que estaban muy secos.
2 He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, they were very dry.
3 Me preguntó: Hijo de hombre, ¿podrán vivir estos huesos? Y respondí: ¡Oh ʼAdonay Yavé, Tú sabes!
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
4 Entonces me dijo: Profetiza sobre estos huesos: ¡Huesos secos, oigan la Palabra de Yavé!
4 Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.
5 ʼAdonay Yavé dice a estos huesos: Ciertamente Yo causo que entre espíritu en ustedes, y vivirán.
5 The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
6 Pondré tendones sobre ustedes y carne sobre ellos. Los cubriré con piel, infundiré en ustedes espíritu y vivirán. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
6 I 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 Yahweh.”’”
7 Profeticé, pues, como me fue mandado. Mientras profetizaba hubo un ruido, vi un estremecimiento y los huesos se unieron, hueso con hueso.
7 So 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.
8 Mientras yo miraba, ciertamente tendones y carne crecieron sobre ellos. La piel los cubrió, pero no había espíritu en ellos.
8 I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
9 Entonces me dijo: ¡Profetiza al espíritu! Profetiza, oh hijo de hombre, y dí al espíritu: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ven de los cuatro puntos cardinales, oh espíritu, y sopla sobre estos asesinados para que vivan!
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”
10 Profeticé como me fue mandado. Y el espíritu entró en ellos y vivieron. Un ejército muy grande se puso en pie.
10 So 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.
11 Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, todos estos huesos son la Casa de Israel. Mira, ellos dicen: Nuestros huesos están secos. Nuestra esperanza pereció. Estamos totalmente destruidos.
11 Then 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.’
12 Por tanto profetiza: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Oh pueblo mío! ¡Ciertamente Yo abro sus sepulcros, los sacaré de sus tumbas, y los traeré a la tierra de Israel!
12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh 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.
13 Cuando abra sus sepulcros y los saque de sus tumbas, oh pueblo mío, sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
13 You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
14 Infundiré mi Espíritu en ustedes y vivirán. Los estableceré en su propia tierra. Y sabrán que Yo, Yavé, hablé y lo cumplí, dice Yavé.
14 I 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, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’”
15 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
15 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
16 Hijo de hombre, toma una vara y escribe en ella: Para Judá, y para los hijos de Israel, sus compañeros. Luego toma otra vara y escribe en ella: Para José, la vara de Efraín, y toda la Casa de Israel, sus compañeros.
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.’
17 Luego, júntalas tú mismo la una con la otra como una sola vara, para que sean una en tu mano.
17 Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18 Cuando los hijos de tu pueblo te pregunten: ¿No nos dirás qué quieres significar con éstas?
18 “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
19 Diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo tomo la vara de José que está en la mano de Efraín y las tribus de Israel sus compañeros. Los pondré junto con la vara de Judá. Haré con ellas una sola vara, y serán una en mi mano.
19 tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh 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.
20 Tendrás en tu mano delante de sus ojos las varas sobre las cuales escribas.
20 The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
21 Les dirás: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente, Yo tomo a los hijos de Israel de entre las naciones adonde fueron, los recogeré de todas partes y los traeré a su propia tierra.
21 Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh 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.
22 Estableceré con ellos una sola nación en la tierra, en las montañas de Israel. Habrá un rey para todos ellos. Ya no serán dos naciones, ni estarán divididos en dos reinos.
22 I 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.
23 Ya no se contaminarán con sus ídolos, sus repugnancias, ni cualquiera de sus transgresiones. Los salvaré de todas sus transgresiones con las cuales pecaron. Yo los purificaré. Serán mi pueblo, y Yo seré su ʼElohim.
23 They 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 Mi esclavo David será su rey, y todos ellos tendrán un solo pastor. Vivirán según mis Preceptos, observarán mis Estatutos y los practicarán.
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.
25 Vivirán en la tierra que di a mi esclavo Jacob, donde vivieron sus antepasados. Ellos, sus hijos y sus nietos vivirán en ella para siempre. Mi esclavo David será jefe de ellos para siempre.
25 They 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.
26 Estableceré un Pacto de paz con ellos y será un Pacto perpetuo. Los estableceré y los multiplicaré. Pondré mi Santuario entre ellos para siempre.
26 Moreover 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.
27 Mi Tabernáculo estará en medio de ellos. Seré su ʼElohim, y ellos serán mi pueblo.
27 My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 Las naciones sabrán que Yo, Yavé, soy el que santifico a Israel, cuando mi Santuario esté en medio de ellos para siempre.
28 The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… bring you forth out of your graves; when I will draw my people from the sepulchres, and I will put breath in you, and ye shall live; and I will place you on your own land, and ye shall know that I am the Lord." And again the same speaks thus: "These things saith the Lord, I will gather Israel …
And my servant David shall be king over them, and there shall be one Shepherd for them all." Chapter 35 — Of the Prophecy of the Three Prophets, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi There remain three minor prophets, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, who prophesied at the close of the captivity.
