Ezechiele 37

1 LA mano del Signore fu sopra me, e il Signore mi menò fuori in ispirito, e mi posò in mezzo d’una campagna, la quale era piena d’ossa.

2 E mi fece passar presso di esse, attorno attorno; ed ecco, erano in grandissimo numero sopra la campagna; ed ecco, erano molto secche.

3 E mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, potrebbero quest’ossa rivivere? Ed io dissi: Signore Iddio, tu il sai.

4 Ed egli mi disse: Profetizza sopra queste ossa, e di’ loro: ossa secche, ascoltate la parola del Signore.

5 Così ha detto il Signore Iddio a quest’ossa: Ecco, io fo entrare in voi lo spirito, e voi riviverete;

6 e metterò sopra voi de’ nervi, e farò venir sopra voi della carne, e vi ricoprirò di pelle; poi metterò lo spirito in voi, e riviverete; e conoscerete che io sono il Signore.

7 Ed io profetizzai, come mi era stato comandato; e come io profetizzava, si fece un suono; ed ecco un tremoto; e le ossa si accostarono, ciascun osso al suo.

8 Ed io riguardai; ed ecco, sopra quelle vennero de’ nervi, e della carne, e furono ricoperte di sopra di pelle; ma non vi era ancora spirito alcuno in loro.

9 E il Signore mi disse: Profetizza allo spirito; profetizza, figliuol d’uomo, e di’ allo spirito: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Vieni, o spirito, da’ quattro venti, e soffia in questi uccisi, acciocchè rivivano.

10 Ed io profetizzai, come egli mi avea comandato; e lo spirito entrò in essi, e ritornarono in vita, e si rizzarono in piè, ed erano un grandissimo esercito.

11 Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo queste ossa son tutta la casa d’Israele; ecco, essi dicono: Le nostre ossa son secche, e la nostra speranza è perita; e, quant’è a noi, siamo sterminati.

12 Perciò, profetizza, e di’ loro: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io apro i vostri sepolcri, e vi trarrò fuor delle vostre sepolture, o popol mio; e vi ricondurrò nel paese d’Israele.

13 E voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore, quando avrò aperti i vostri sepolcri, e vi avrò tratti fuor delle vostre sepolture, o popol mio.

14 E metterò lo Spirito mio in voi, e voi ritornerete in vita; e vi poserò sopra la vostra terra; e voi conoscerete che io, il Signore, ho parlato, e che altresì ho messa la cosa ad effetto, dice il Signore.

15 Poi la parola del Signore mi fu indirizzata, dicendo:

16 Figliuol d’uomo, prenditi ancora un pezzo di legno, e scrivi sur esso: Per Giuda, e per li figliuoli d’Israele, suoi congiunti; poi prenditi un altro pezzo di legno, e scrivi sur esso: Per Giuseppe, il legno di Efraim, e di tutta la casa d’Israele, suoi congiunti.

17 Poi accostali l’uno all’altro, come se non fossero che un sol pezzo di legno; e sieno così congiunti nella tua mano.

18 E quando i figliuoli del tuo popolo ti diranno: Non ci dichiarerai tu che cosa vuoi dire per queste cose?

19 di’ loro: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io prendo il pezzo di legno di Giuseppe, che è in mano di Efraim, e quel delle tribù d’Israele, sue congiunte; e lo metterò sopra questo, cioè, sopra il pezzo di legno di Giuda; e ne farò un medesimo pezzo di legno, e saranno una stessa cosa nella mia mano.

20 Tieni adunque que’ due pezzi di legno, sopra i quali avrai scritto, nella tua mano, nel lor cospetto;

21 e di’ loro: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io ritrarrò i figliuoli d’Israele di mezzo delle genti, dove sono andati, e li raccoglierò d’ogn’intorno, e li ricondurrò nella lor terra.

22 E ne farò una medesima nazione, nella terra, nei monti d’Israele; ed un solo re sarà lor re a tutti; e non saranno più due nazioni, e non saranno più divisi in due regni.

23 E non si contamineranno più co’ loro idoli, nè con le loro abbominazioni, nè con tutti i lor misfatti; ed io li salverò di tutte le loro abitazioni, nelle quali hanno peccato; e li netterò, e mi saran popolo, ed io sarò loro Dio.

24 E il mio servitore Davide sarà re sopra loro, ed essi tutti avranno un medesimo Pastore, e cammineranno nelle mie leggi, ed osserveranno i miei statuti, e li metteranno in opera.

25 Ed abiteranno nel paese che io ho dato a Giacobbe, mio servitore; nel quale i padri vostri abitarono; ed abiteranno in quello, essi, e i lor figliuoli, e i figliuoli de’ lor figliuoli, in perpetuo; e il mio servitore Davide sarà lor principe in eterno.

26 Ed io farò con loro un patto di pace; vi sarà un patto eterno con loro; e li stanzierò, e li accrescerò, e metterò il mio santuario in mezzo di loro in perpetuo.

27 E il mio tabernacolo sarà appresso di loro; ed io sarò loro Dio, ed essi mi saran popolo.

28 E le genti conosceranno che io sono il Signore, che santifico Israele, quando il mio santuario sarà in mezzo di loro in perpetuo.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

1 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."

2 He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death.

3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die."

5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

7 'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.'

8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."

13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."

14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.

16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."

20 Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because Yahweh your God gave me success."

21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

23 He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau's hands. So he blessed him.

24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."

25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.

26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."

27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you."

30 It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me."

32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."

33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."

34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."

35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."

36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"

37 Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"

38 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

39 Isaac his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."

41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."

42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.

44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;

45 until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

46 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
