1 Χείρ Κυρίου εστάθη επ' εμέ· και με εξήγαγεν ο Κύριος διά πνεύματος και με έθεσεν εν μέσω πεδιάδος και αυτή ήτο πλήρης οστέων.
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 Και με έκαμε να διέλθω πλησίον αυτών κύκλω· και ιδού, ήσαν πολλά σφόδρα επί το πρόσωπον της πεδιάδος· και ιδού, ήσαν κατάξηρα.
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 Και είπε προς εμέ, Υιέ ανθρώπου, δύνανται τα οστά ταύτα να αναζήσωσι; Και είπα, Κύριε Θεέ, συ εξεύρεις.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
·
4 Και είπε προς εμέ, Προφήτευσον επί τα οστά ταύτα και ειπέ προς αυτά, Τα οστά τα ξηρά, ακούσατε τον λόγον του Κυρίου·
4 Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.
·
5 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός προς τα οστά ταύτα· Ιδού, εγώ θέλω εμβάλει εις εσάς πνεύμα και θέλετε αναζήσει·
5 The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.
·
6 και θέλω βάλει εφ' υμάς νεύρα και αναγάγει σάρκα εφ' υμάς και περισκεπάσει υμάς με δέρμα, και θέλω εμβάλει εις εσάς πνεύμα και θέλετε αναζήσει και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος.
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 Και προεφήτευσα, ως προσετάχθην· και καθώς προεφήτευσα, έγεινεν ήχος, και ιδού, σεισμός, και τα οστά συνήλθον ομού, οστούν μετά του οστού αυτού.
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 Και είδον και ιδού, νεύρα και σάρκες ανεφύησαν επ' αυτά και δέρμα περιεσκέπασεν αυτά επάνω· πνεύμα όμως δεν ήτο εν αυτοίς.
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 Και είπε προς εμέ, προφήτευσον επί το πνεύμα, προφήτευσον, υιέ ανθρώπου, και ειπέ προς το πνεύμα, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ελθέ, πνεύμα, εκ των τεσσάρων ανέμων και εμφύσησον επί τους πεφονευμένους τούτους και ας αναζήσωσι.
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 Και προεφήτευσα, ως προσετάχθην· και το πνεύμα εισήλθεν εις αυτούς και ανέζησαν και εστάθησαν επί τους πόδας αυτών, στράτευμα μέγα σφόδρα.
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 Και είπε προς εμέ, Υιέ ανθρώπου, τα οστά ταύτα είναι πας ο οίκος Ισραήλ· ιδού, ούτοι λέγουσι, τα οστά ημών εξηράνθησαν και η ελπίς ημών εχάθη· ημείς ηφανίσθημεν.
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 Διά τούτο προφήτευσον και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ιδού, λαέ μου, εγώ ανοίγω τους τάφους σας και θέλω σας αναβιβάσει εκ των τάφων σας, θέλω σας φέρει εις την γην του Ισραήλ.
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 Και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος, όταν, λαέ μου, ανοίξω τους τάφους σας και σας αναβιβάσω εκ των τάφων σας.
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 Και θέλω δώσει το πνεύμά μου εις εσάς και θέλετε αναζήσει και θέλω σας θέσει εν τη γη υμών, και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ ο Κύριος ελάλησα και εξετέλεσα, λέγει Κύριος.
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.’”
·
16 Και συ, υιέ ανθρώπου, λάβε εις σεαυτόν ράβδον μίαν και γράψον επ' αυτήν περί του Ιούδα και περί των υιών Ισραήλ των συνακολούθων αυτού· λάβε και άλλην ράβδον και γράψον επ' αυτήν περί του Ιωσήφ, της ράβδον του Εφραΐμ, και παντός του οίκου Ισραήλ των συνακολούθων αυτού.
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 Και σύναψον αυτάς εις σεαυτόν μίαν προς μίαν εις ράβδον μίαν και θέλουσι γείνει μία εν τη χειρί σου.
17 Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
·
18 Και όταν οι υιοί του λαού σου είπωσι προς σε, λέγοντες, Δεν θέλεις απαγγείλει εις ημάς τι δηλούσιν εις σε ταύτα;
18 “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
·
19 ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ιδού, εγώ θέλω λάβει την ράβδον του Ιωσήφ, την εν τη χειρί του Εφραΐμ, και των φυλών του Ισραήλ των συνακολούθων αυτού, και θέλω βάλει εκείνας μετά ταύτης, της ράβδου του Ιούδα, και κάμει αυτάς μίαν ράβδον, και θέλουσιν είσθαι μία εν τη χειρί μου.
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 Και αι ράβδοι, επί τας οποίας έγραψας, θέλουσιν είσθαι εν τη χειρί σου ενώπιον αυτών.
20 The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’
·
21 Και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ιδού, εγώ θέλω λάβει τους υιούς Ισραήλ εκ μέσου των εθνών όπου υπήγον, και θέλω συνάξει αυτούς πανταχόθεν και φέρει αυτούς εις την γην αυτών.
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 Και θέλω κάμει αυτούς εν έθνος εν τη γη, επί των ορέων του Ισραήλ· και εις βασιλεύς θέλει είσθαι βασιλεύς επί πάντας αυτούς· και δεν θέλουσιν είσθαι πλέον δύο έθνη και δεν θέλουσιν είσθαι του λοιπού διηρημένοι πλέον εις δύο βασίλεια·
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 και δεν θέλουσι μιαίνεσθαι πλέον εν τοις ειδώλοις αυτών ουδέ εν τοις βδελύγμασιν αυτών ουδέ εν πάσαις ταις παραβάσεσιν αυτών· αλλά θέλω σώσει αυτούς εκ πασών των κατοικήσεων αυτών, εν αις ημάρτησαν, και θέλω καθαρίσει αυτούς· και θέλουσιν είσθαι λαός μου και εγώ θέλω είσθαι Θεός αυτών.
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 Και Δαβίδ ο δούλός μου θέλει είσθαι βασιλεύς επ' αυτούς· και θέλει είσθαι επί πάντας αυτούς εις ποιμήν· και θέλουσι περιπατεί εν ταις κρίσεσί μου και θέλουσι φυλάττει τα διατάγματά μου και εκτελεί αυτά.
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 Και θέλουσι κατοικεί εν τη γη, την οποίαν έδωκα εις τον δούλον μου τον Ιακώβ, όπου κατώκησαν οι πατέρες σας· και εν αυτή θέλουσι κατοικεί, αυτοί και τα τέκνα αυτών και τα τέκνα των τέκνων αυτών, έως αιώνος· και Δαβίδ ο δούλός μου θέλει είσθαι άρχων αυτών εις τον αιώνα.
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 Και θέλω κάμει προς αυτούς διαθήκην ειρήνης· αύτη θέλει είσθαι διαθήκη αιώνιος προς αυτούς· και θέλω στηρίξει αυτούς και πληθύνει αυτούς, και θέλω θέσει το αγιαστήριόν μου εν μέσω αυτών εις τον αιώνα.
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 Και η σκηνή μου θέλει είσθαι εν μέσω αυτών, και θέλω είσθαι Θεός αυτών και αυτοί θέλουσιν είσθαι λαός μου.
27 My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
·
28 Και θέλουσι γνωρίσει τα έθνη ότι εγώ ο Κύριος είμαι ο αγιάζων τον Ισραήλ, όταν το αγιαστήριόν μου ήναι εν μέσω αυτών εις τον αιώνα.
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.
