< Ezekiel 21 >

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
O ana’ondatio, ampiatrefo mb’e Ierosalaime ty lahara’o naho tse­izo mb’amo toetse miavakeo; mitokia mb’an-tane Israeley,
3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
naho ano ty hoe an-tane Israele ao, Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà: Hiatrek’ azo iraho, naho hapontso­ako an-traño’e ty fibarako vaho hapitsoko ama’o ty vaño naho ty tsivokatse.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Aa kanao haitoako ama’o ndra ty vantañe ndra ty lo-tsereke, le hiakatse i traño’ey i mesolavay mb’amy ze fonga nofotse boak’ atimo pak’ avarats’ añe;
5 and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
vaho ho rendre’ ze atao nofotse iaby te Izaho Iehovà ty nampitso­ake fibara amy traño’ey; le tsy hampoliko ka.
6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
Miselekaiña ry ana’ondatio, am-pikoretan-troke, am-pievoñañe mafaitse aolom-pihaino’ iareo eo.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Aa ie manao ty hoe ama’o iereo, Ino o isele­kai­ña’oo? le hanoiñe ty hoe irehe, Ty amy talily niazokoy, fa songa hiharofotse ze arofo, sindre higebañe ze fitàñe, sambe hitoirañe ze troke, vaho hene ho letra’e hoe rano ze ongotse. Hehe te hirik’ ao re naho ho heneke hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;
O ondatio, mitokia ami’ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ty fibara! fa rinañitse i fibaray, vaho nampimilomilotse;
10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree.
Sinioñe hanjamana’e, nikotriñeñe hitsopelatse hoe helatse! Hirebeke hao tika, anako? Ihe nañovoke ty kobaiñe naho ze atao tsipilo?
11 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Fa natolotse ho kotriñeñe i mesay, ho vontitireñe am-pitañe; fa nisioñeñe, fa mimilomilotse i fibara hatolots’ am-pità’ i mpamonoiy.
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Miroveta, angololoìho ondatikoo, ry ana’ ondatio, ze hene roandria’ Israeleo, fa nasese am-pibara rekets’ ondatikoo. Hete! Mipaoha fey!
13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ho pok’ eo ty fitsohañe, aa vaho ho ovohe’e hao ty kobaiñe? tsy hanao izay ka, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers.
O ondatio, mitokia, mitehafa fità am-pitàñe, ampandafao fañintelo’e ty fibara, i fibara’ o hanjevoñañeoy, i fibaram-panjevoñam-bey hañarikatoke iareoy,
15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
hampitranake arofo, ie maro ty hitsikapy naho hikorovoke, t’ie ampiatrefeko ami’ty lengom-pibara an-dalambei’ iareo iaby. Hehe te nampimilemilereñe, nisioñeñe hanjamañe.
16 Gather thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
Lafao mb’ ankavana, paoho mb’ankavia! ndra aia’aia ty añohara’ i lelam-pibara’oy.
17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
Izaho ka ro hampipeke tañañe hañenefañe ty fifomboko; Izaho Iehovà ty nivolañe.
18 The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,
Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà:
19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
O ‘ndatio, tendreo lalañe roe horihe’ i fibaram-panjaka’ i Baveley; songa mfototse amy taney añe. Andranjio pilàke amy tsempa’e mitsile mb’amy rovaiy mb’eo;
20 Thou shalt appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
atorò ty lalañe homba’ i fibaray mb’amy Raba’ o nte-Amoreo mb’eo naho mb’e Iehodà am’ Ierosalaime nifatrareñey mb’eo.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Fa mijohañe am-pitsileañe eo ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, misikily, akatrokatro’e o ana-paleo, imanea’e ontane ty saren-draha, biribirie’e ty ate.
22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Tsatok’ am-pità’e havana ao ty tamben-kizè’ Ierosa­laime, hampitroara’e famofohan-dalañe, hikaike fanjamanañe, hikoike aly, hampi­rampia’e bodam-pamofohañe an-dalambey eo, naho hamotry fanongàñe vaho han­dranjy rafem-panameañe.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths unto them; but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Toe hatao’ iereo t’ie sikily vìlañe, ty amo nanao fanta jadoñeo; f’ie nampi­tiahieñe o hakeoo, hitsepahañe iareo.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Kanao nitiahie’areo o hamengoha’areoo, ie afa-domboke o tahi’areoo, naho zoeñe amo sata’areo iaby o hakeo’areoo. Amy te fa nitiahieñe nahareo, le fa rinambe am-pitañe.
25 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Le ihe ry roandria lo-tsere’ Israele, fa tondroke i andro’oy, an-tsa’ hampigadoñan-kakeo,
26 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Endaho i sabakay, afaho i halam-bolamenay; tsy ho tambatse eo henaneo. Aonjoñe i epakey, afotsake i mitiotio­tsey.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
Hafoteko, hafoteko, hafoteko le tsy hanoeñe ka! ampara’ te totsak’ eo ty manan-jo hanolorako Aze.
28 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
Aa ihe, ana’ ondatio, mitokia, le ano ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè ty amo ana’ i Amoneo, ty amy fañinjea’ iareoy, ty hoe: Ry fibara, ry fibara tsinoake hanjamañe: nikotriñeñe hamongotse, pak’ am-para’e, ty amy fimilomilora’ey.
29 while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Ie taroñen’ aroñarom-bìlan-drehe, anikiliañe vande, hampipetahañe azo am-pititiha’ o lo-tsereke ho vonoeñeo, ie fa tsatoke ty andro’ iareoo, an-tsam-pigadoñan-kaloloañe.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee.
Ampolio an-traño-meso’e ao re! Amy namoroñañe azoy, an-tane nihirifa’o añe ty hizakako azo.
31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
Hakofòko ama’o ty hatorifihako, ho tiofeko ama’o ty afom-piforoforoako, naho haseseko am-pità’ ondaty bibi’e, za-panjevoñañe.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
Ho fandrehetañ’ afo irehe, ho añivon-tane ao ty lio’o, tsy ho tiahy ka, fa Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara.
