Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 Son of man, set thy face against Jerusalem, and drop [words] against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia an’ i Jerosalema, ary mitenena manandrify ny fitoerana masìna, ka maminania ny amin’ ny hamelezana ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
Ary ataovy amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho no mamely anao, ary hotsoahako amin’ ny tranony ny sabatro, ka haringako ny marina sy ny meloka eo aminao.
4 Seeing 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;
Ary noho ny handringanako ny marina sy ny meloka eo aminao, dia izany no hitsoahan’ ny sabatro amin’ ny tranony hamely ny nofo rehetra hatrany atsimo ka hatrany avaratra,
5 and all flesh shall know that I Jehovah have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
Ka dia ho fantatry ny nofo rehetra fa Izaho Jehovah no nanatsoaka ny sabatro tamin’ ny tranony; Tsy hiditra intsony izy.
6 Sigh then, thou son of man; with breaking of the loins, and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, midridridridria toy ny tapa-balahana, eny, midridridridria amin’ ny fangidiana eo imasony.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore dost thou sigh? 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 languish, and all knees shall melt into water: behold, it cometh; it is here, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ary raha izy manao aminao hoe: Nahoana ianao no midridridridry? Dia valio hoe: Noho ny teny efa re, fa ho avy izany, ho kivy ny fo rehetra, hiraviravy ny tanana rehetra, ary hivarahontsana ny fanahy rehetra, sady hanjary ho toy ny rano ny lohalika rehetra. Eny, ho avy izany ka ho tanteraka, hoy Jehovah Tompo;
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Dia tonga tamiko ay tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished.
Ry zanak’ olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Injao! sabatra! sabatra re! Voaranitra sady voafotsy koa.
10 It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, [saying, ] The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood?
Voaranitra hahafaty be izy; Voafotsy hanelatselatra izy (Sa isika hifaly hoe: Ny tsorakazon’ ny zanako mamingavinga ny hazo rehetra?)
11 And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword, — it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Ary nomena hofotsiana izy Mba horaisin-tanana; Voaranitra io sabatra io sady voafotsy, Mba hatolotra eo an-tanan’ ny mpamono.
12 Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh.
Mitomania sy midradradradrà, ry zanak’ olona! Fa mihatra amin’ ny oloko izany, dia amin’ ny lehibe rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely; Lavon’ ny sabatra miaraka amin’ ny oloko izy, koa misafoa sirana ianao;
13 For the trial [is made]; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no [more]? saith the Lord Jehovah.
Fa vita ny fizahan-toetra, Ka manao ahoana, raha ilay tehim-panjakana namingavinga iny aza no ho tonga tsinontsinona? hoy Jehovah Tompo.
14 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for [the strokes of] the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily.
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia maminania, ka mitehafa tanana, ary aoka hihaloza roa heny, na telo heny aza, ny sabatra, dia ny sabatra izay efa nahatrabaka olona; Eny, ny sabatra izay efa nahatrabaka ny andriana no manemitra azy.
15 In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter.
Nahebihebiko teny amin’ ny vavahadiny rehetra ny sabatra, mba hahakivy ny fo sy hahatonga fahatafintohinana maro. Indrisy! nataoko nanelatselatra izy sady voaranitra hamono.
16 Gather up [strength], go to the right hand, turn thee, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is appointed.
Miomana, ka mandrosoa eo ankavanana ianao, mijoroa, ka mandrosoa eo an-kavia, amin’ izay voatendry hamelezanao na aiza na aiza.
17 And I myself will smite my hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
Hiteha-tanana koa Aho ary hiala fo; Izaho Jehovah no nilaza izany.
18 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
19 And thou, son of man, set thee two ways, by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come — out of one land shall they both come — and make thee a signpost, make it at the head of the way to the city.
Hianao, ry zanak’ olona, manaova lalana roa ho anao hihavian’ ny sabatry ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona; avy amin’ ny tany iray no hihavian’ izy roa; ka manaova sarin’ ny famantaran-dalana, eo an-tsampanan-dalana mankany amin’ ny tanàna no anaovinao azy.
20 Appoint a way for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah at the fenced [city] of Jerusalem.
Manaova lalana hihavian’ ny sabatra ho any Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy ho any ny Joda ao Jerosalema mimanda.
21 For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh [his] arrows, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona mijanona eo amin’ ny sampanan-dalana, dia eo an-dohan’ ny lalana roa, mba hanao sikidy; dia manetsiketsika ny zana-tsipìka izy ary manontany amin’ ny sampy sy mizaha amin’ ny atin-kena.
22 In his right hand is the lot of Jerusalem to appoint battering-rams, to open the mouth for bloodshed, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering-rams against the gates, to cast mounds, to build siege-towers.
Mby eo an-tànany ankavanana ny sikidy, dia ny ho an’ i Jerosalema, mba hametraka lohondry vy fandravana, hisoka-bava hiantsoantso, hanandra-peo amin’ ny akoran’ ady, hametraka lohondry vy fandravana eo akaikin’ ny vavahady, hanandratra tovon-tany sy tilikambo.
23 And this shall be a false divination in their sight, for them that have sworn oaths; but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
Nefa tahaka ny sikidy lainga izany eo imason’ ireny izay efa nianiana mafy, nefa Jehovah no mampahatsiaro ny helony mba hisamborana azy.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nampahatsiarovanareo ny helokareo tamin’ ny nampiharihariana ny fahadisoanareo mba hampisehoana ny fahotanareo tamin’ izay rehetra nataonareo, noho ny nahatsiarovana anareo dia hosamborin-tanana ianareo.
25 And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end,
Ary ianao, ry ilay ratsy fanahy voatrabaka, dia ilay mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izay tapitra andro amin’ ny fotoan’ ny heloka mahafaty,
26 — thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no [more]. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo Hesorina ny hamama, ary halàna ny satro-boninahitra, tsy ho ao intsony ireo; hasandratra ny iva, ary haetry ny avo.
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 [to him].
Havadiko, havadiko, havadiko izany; fa izany koa aza dia tsy mba haharitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay tena tompony tokoa, ka homeko azy izany.
28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus speaketh the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, A sword, a sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it furbished, that it may consume, that it may glitter:
Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny latsa ataony, dia ataovy hoe: Indro sabatra! Dia sabatra voatsoaka hamono! Voafotsy handringana sy hanelatselatra izy
29 whilst they see vanity for thee, whilst they divine a lie unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day is come at the time of the iniquity of the end.
(Raha mahita zava-poana ho anao izy sy maminany lainga aminao) Handavoany anao ao amin’ ny vozon’ ny ratsy fanahy voatrabaka, Izay tapitra andro amin’ ny fotoan’ ny heloka mahafaty.
30 Restore [it] to its sheath. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth.
Ampidiro amin’ ny tranony izy. Any amin’ ny tany namoronana anao, dia any amin’ ny tany nahaterahanao, no hitsarako anao.
31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee the fire of my wrath, and give thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
Ary haidiko aminao ny fahavinirako, ny afon’ ny fahatezerako no hotsofiko aminao, ka hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny olona ketrina.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt not be remembered: for I Jehovah have spoken.
Sy izay mpamorona fandringanana ianao, Dia ho kitain’ ny afo ianao; Ho eny amin’ ny tany ny rànao; Tsy hotsaroana ianao; Fa Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.
