< Ezekiel 8 >

1 In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana fahenina tamin’ ny taona fahenina, raha nipetraka tao an-tranoko aho, ary nipetraka teo anatrehako ny loholon’ ny Joda, dia nilatsaka tamiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah Tompo.
2 Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.
Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy nitarehin’ afo; hatramin’ ny valahany no ho midìna dia afo; ary hatramin’ ny valahany no ho miakatra kosa dia nitarehin-java-mamirapiratra dia toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra.
3 He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
Ary nisy nitarehin-tanana nahinjiny, ka noraisiny tamin’ ny voloko aho, dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ho eny anelanelan’ ny tany sy ny lanitra ka nitondra ahy ho any Jerosalema tamin’ ny fahitana avy amin’ Andriamanitra, ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja anatiny, izay manatrika ny avaratra, dia ilay nisy ny sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro, dia ilay mampahasaro-piaro.
4 And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
Ary, indro, teo ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely tahaka ilay fahitana efa hitako teo amin’ ny lohasaha.
5 “Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, atopazy kely amin’ ny lalana mianavaratra ny masonao. Dia natopiko tamin’ ny lalana mianavaratra ny masoko ka, indro, eny avaratry ny vavahadin’ ny alitara no nisy ilay sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro teo amin’ ny fidirana.
6 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
Dia hoy koa Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, hitanao va izay ataon’ ireo, dia ny fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely eto ka mampanalavitra Ahy amin’ ny fitoerako masìna? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe koa ianao.
7 Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
Dia nentiny ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja aho; ary hitako fa, indro, nisy loaka teo amin’ ny ampiantany.
8 “Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, loahy ny ampiantany; dia noloahako ny ampiantany ka, indro, nisy varavarana.
9 Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Midìra, ka jereo ny fahavetavetana lehibe ataony eto.
10 So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
Dia niditra aho ka nahita, ary indreo, nisy sarin’ ny biby mandady sy mikisaka rehetra sy ny biby hafa, dia izay fahavetavetana, sy ny sampy rehetra an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, voasoratra teo amin’ ny rindrina manodidina.
11 Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
Ary nisy olona fito-polo lahy, isan’ ny loholon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, nitsangana teo anoloan’ ireo, ary Jazania, zanak’ i Safana, nitsangana teo afovoany, samy nitondra ny loviany fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra teny an-tànany avy, ary ny setroky ny ditin-kazo manitra dia nidonata.
12 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona efa hitanao va ny ataon’ ny loholon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely amin’ ny maizina, dia samy ao amin’ ny efi-tranony misy sary? Fa hoy izy: Jehovah tsy mahita anay; efa nahafoy ny tany Izy.
13 Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”
Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataony koa ianao.
14 Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.
Dia nentiny ho eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, izay manatrika ny avaratra aho; ary, indreo, nisy vehivavy nipetraka teo, nitomany an’ i Tamoza.
15 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany ry zanak’ olona? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe noho ireto koa ianao.
16 So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
Dia nentiny ho eo amin’ ny kianja anatiny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah aho, ary, indro, teo am-baravaran’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, dia teo anelanelan’ ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny alitara, dia nisy tokony ho dimy amby roa-polo lahy niamboho ny tempolin’ i Jehovah ka nanatrika ny atsinanana; ary ireo dia niankohoka manandrify ny masoandro, nanatrika ny atsinanana.
17 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany, ry zanak’ olona? Moa ataon’ ny taranak’ i Joda ho kely loatra va ny nanaovany ny fahavetavetana izay ataony eto, no fenoiny fampahoriana koa ny tany, ka mampahatezitra Ahy lalandava izy; ary indro izy nanainga ny rantsan-kazo ho amin’ ny orony.
18 Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”
Ary Izaho kosa dia hamely amin’ ny fahatezerako; tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo Aho; ary na dia mitaraina mafy eo an-tsofiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
