Jezekiel 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
Ry zanak’ olona, mitenena amin’ ny zanaky ny firenenao, ka lazao aminy hoe: Raha mahatonga sabatra amin’ ny tany anankiray Aho, ary ny tompon-tany maka lehilahy anankiray ao aminy ka manendry azy ho mpitily,
3 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
ary hitan-dralehilahy fa, indro, avy ny sabatra, ka mitsoka ny anjomara hampitaitra ny olona izy,
4 and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
nefa tsy mety taitr izay mandre ny feon’ ny anjomara, dia tonga ny sabatra ka mandripaka azy, dia ho eo an-dohany ihany ny ràny.
5 Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
Nandre ny feon’ ny anjomara ihany izy, nefa tsy nety taitra; ho ao aminy ihany ny ràny; fa raha nety taitra izy, dia ho nahavonjy ny ainy ihany.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from amongst them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
Fa raha hitan’ ilay mpitily kosa fa, indro, avy ny sabatra, nefa tsy nitsoka ny anjomara izy, ka tsy notairina ny olona, ary tonga ny sabatra ka mandringana olona ao aminy, dia matin’ ny helony ihany iny; nefa ny ràny dia hadiniko amin’ ny tànan’ ilay mpitily.
7 And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
Koa ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia efa notendreko ho mpitily ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ka raha mandre ny teny aloaky ny vavako ianao, dia izany no ho entinao mananatra azy.
8 When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Raha hoy Izaho amin’ ny ratsy fanahy: He! ry ilay ratsy fanahy, ho faty tokoa ianao! nefa tsy mety mananatra azy ianao hiala amin’ ny alehany, dia ho fatin’ ny helony ihany izany ratsy fanahy izany, fa ny ràny dia hadiniko amin’ ny tananao.
9 But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
Fa raha mananatra ny ratsy fanahy ihany kosa ianao hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy; fa izy no tsy mety miala amin’ izany, dia ho fatin’ ny helony ihany izy, nefa voavonjinao ny ainao.
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, mitenena amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no fiteninareo: Eto aminay ny fahadisoanay sy ny fahotanay, ka mihalevona amin’ izany izahay, dia nahoana no mbola velona izahay?
11 Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Lazao aminy hoe: Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, dia tsy sitrako ny hahafatesan’ ny ratsy fanahy, fa ny hialan’ ny ratsy fanahy amin’ ny lalany, mba ho velona izy. Mialà, mialà amin’ ny lalan-dratsinareo, fa nahoana moa no te-ho faty ianareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely?
12 Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona’ lazao amin’ ny zanaky ny firenenao hoe: Ny fahamarinan’ ny marina tsy hahavonjy azy, raha mby amin’ ny andro ahadisoany; ary ny faharatsian’ ny ratsy fanahy tsy hahavoa azy, raha mby amin’ ny andro ialany amin’ ny faharatsiany; ary ny marina tsy ho velona noho ny fahamarinany, raha mby amin’ ny andro anotany.
13 When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
Raha lazaiko amin’ ny marina hoe: Ho velona tokoa ianao, nefa izy mitoky amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka, dia tsy hotsarovana ny fahamarinana rehetra izay nataony, fa ny heloka nataony no hahafaty azy.
14 And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgement and justice,
Ary koa, raha hoy Izaho kosa amin’ ny ratsy fanahy: Ho faty tokoa ianao, nefa miala amin’ ny fahotany izy sady manao izay marina sy mahitsy.
15 and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
ka mamerina ny natao tsatòka sady mampody izay nangalariny ary mandeha araka ny didy mahavelona ka tsy manao meloka, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
16 None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgement and righteousness; by them shall he live.
Ny fahotana rehetra izay nataony dia tsy hotsarovana aminy intsony; manao izay marina sy mahitsy izy, ka dia ho velona tokoa.
17 Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
Kanefa, hoy ny zanaky ny firenenao: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo; nefa ny fitondran’ ny tenany no tsy marina.
18 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
Raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka, dia ho faty amin’ izany izy.
19 And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgement and righteousness, he shall live by them.
Ary raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny faharatsiany ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia ho velona amin’ izany izy.
20 And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
Kanefa, hoy ianareo: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo. He! ry taranak’ Isiraely, samy hotsaraiko araka ny alehany avy ianareo.
21 And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo taorian’ ny namaboana antsika, dia nisy olona efa nandositra avy tany Jerosalema tonga tao amiko ka nanao hoe: Afaka ny tanàna.
22 Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
Dia efa tonga tamiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny omaly harivan’ ny andro nahatongavan’ ilay nandositra izay tonga tao amiko, ka nosokafany ny vavako mandra-pahatongan’ ilay nandositra, izay tonga tao amiko nony maraina; dia efa nisokatra ny vavako, ka tsy moana intsony aho.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
Ry zanak’ olona, ny monina amin’ ireny rava amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely ireny dia manao hoe: Ireny ihany Abrahama, nefa nandova ny tany izy, fa isika kosa dia maro, ary omena antsika ny tany ho lovantsika
Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Homan-javatra misy rà sady miandrandra ny sampinareo ianareo ary mandatsa-drà, moa hahazo handova ny tany va ianareo?
Mitoky amin’ ny sabatrareo ianareo sady manao fahavetavetana, ka samy mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany avy; koa hahazo handova ny tany va ianareo?
27 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
Izao no holazainao aminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Raha velona koa Aho, dia tsy maintsy ho lavon’ ny sabatra izay ao amin’ ny tanàna rava, ary izay any an-tsaha dia homeko ho rembin’ ny bibi-dia, ary izay ao amin’ ny harambato sy amin’ ny lava-tany dia ho fatin’ ny areti-mandringana.
28 And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
Fa hataoko rava sy lao ny tany, ary hitsahatra ny fiavonavonan’ ny heriny; ho lao ny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, ka tsy hisy mpandia azy.
29 And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
Dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha hataoko rava sy lao ny tany noho ny fahavetavetana nataony.
30 And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, ny zanaky ny firenenao dia miresaka anao eny am-bodirindrina sy eo am-baravaran’ ny tranony, ka samy manao amin’ ny rahalahiny hoe: Andeha isika, ary aoka handre izay teny avy amin’ i Jehovah.
31 They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
Dia mankao aminao tahaka ny fihavin’ ny olona izy ka mipetraka eo anatrehanao toa oloko ary mahare ny teninao, nefa tsy mety mankatò azy; fa, indro, teny mamy no lazain’ ny vavany, nefa ny fony dia lasa manaraka ny filan-karena.
32 And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
Koa, indro, ianao dia ataony ho tahaka ny mpanao hira mahafinaritra, izay tsara feo sady mahay mitendry; fa mandre ny teninao izy, nefa tsy mety mankatò azy.
33 But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
Ary nony tanteraka izany (indro, efa ho tanteraka ihany), dia ho fantany fa efa nisy mpaminany tokoa tao aminy.
