Ezekiel 3
1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, hano izay hitanao, eny, hano ity horonan-taratasy ity, dia mandehana, ka mitenena amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
Dia nosokafako ny vavako, ary nafahany ahy izany horonan-taratasy izany.
3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, vokiso ny kibonao, ary fenoy ny horonan-taratasy omeko anao ity ny tsinainao. Dia nihinana aho, ka, mamy tao am-bavako toy ny tantely izy.
4 Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, andeha mankany amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ka lazao aminy ny teniko.
5 For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
Fa tsy ho any amin’ ny firenena miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika no anirahana anao, fa ho any amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ihany;
6 not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
tsy ho amin’ ny firenena maro, izay miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika, ka tsy ho azonao ny teniny, fa raha maniraka anao ho amin’ ireto Aho, dia hihaino anao izy.
7 But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
Fa ny taranak’ Isiraely dia tsy mety mihaino anao, satria tsy mety mihaino Ahy izy; fa ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra dia mafy handrina sady madi-po.
8 Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
Indro, efa nohamafiko ny tarehinao hiatrika amin’ ny tarehiny sy ny handrinao hanandrina ny handriny.
9 I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
Ataoko toy ny diamondra ny handrinao, eny, mafy noho ny vatolampy aza; ka aza matahotra azy na mivadi-po noho ny tarehiny, fa taranaka maditra izy.
10 “Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ny teny rehetra izay holazaiko aminao dia aoka ho mamin’ ny fonao, ka henoy amin’ ny sofinao.
11 Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
Dia mandehana mankany amin’ ny babo, dia ireo zanaky ny firenenao ary mitenena aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’
Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy, dia nandre horakoraka be teo ivohoko aho nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fitoerany.
13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
Ary reko koa ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny zava-manan’ aina, izay nifanendry, sy ny fidilodilotry ny kodia teo anilany sy ny horakoraka be.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ka nitondra ahy, dia lasa aho sady nirehitra tamin’ ny fahavontosan’ ny fanahiko; ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia nahery tao amiko.
15 I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
Dia tonga tany amin’ ny babo tany Telabiba aho, dia teo amin’ izay nonina teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara, teo amin’ izay nipetrahany, ary mandritra ny hafitoana dia tahaka ilay torana iny aho.
16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ary nony afaka ny hafitoana, dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
Ry zanak’ olona, efa nataoko mpitily ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ianao; ka dia hohenoinao ny teny avy amin’ ny vavako, ary avy amiko no hananaranao azy.
18 If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Raha hoy Izaho amin’ ny ratsy fanahy: Ho faty tokoa ianao! ary tsy mananatra azy ianao, na miteny hananatra ny ratsy fanahy, hialany amin’ ny lalany ratsy hamonjena ny ainy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany ilay ratsy fanahy; nefa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
19 But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
Fa raha mananatra ny ratsy fanahy kosa ianao, ka izy no tsy mety miala amin’ ny faharatsiany sy amin’ ny lalany ratsy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany izy; fa ho voavonjinao ny fanahinao.
20 Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Ary koa, raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka, ary mametraka fahatafintohinana eo anoloany Aho, dia Ho faty izy; eny noho ny tsy nananaranao azy dia ho faty amin’ ny fahotany ihany izy, ary ny fahamarinana izay nataony tsy hotsaroana, nefa kosa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
21 But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
Fa raha mananatra ny marina mba tsy hanota ianao, ka tsy manota izy, dia ho velona tokoa izy, satria nino anatra; ary voavonjinao koa ny fanahinao.
22 And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
Ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia tamiko, ary hoy Izy tamiko: Mitsangàna, ka mivoaha ho any amin’ ny lohasaha, ary any no hitenenako aminao.
23 So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
Dia nitsangana aho ka nivoaka nankany amin’ ny lohasaha; ary, indro, nitoetra teo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah tahaka ny voninahitra izay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.
24 Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Ary nisy fanahy tonga tao anatiko ka nampitsangana ahy; dia niteny tamiko Izy ka nanao hoe: Andeha, mirindrina ao anatin’ ny tranonao ianao.
25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
Fa ianao, ry zanak’ olona, indro, hasiany fatorana, izay hamatorany anao, ka tsy hahazo mivoaka ho ao aminy ianao.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
Ary hampiraiketiko amin’ ny lanilaninao ny lelanao, ka ho moana ianao ary tsy ho mpananatra azy; fa taranaka maditra izy.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
Fa raha miteny aminao Aho, dia hosokafako ny vavanao, ka dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izay mihaino, dia aoka izy hihaino; ary izay tsy mihaino, dia aoka izy tsy hihaino kosa; fa taranaka maditra izy.
