< Ezekiel 8 >

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there 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 And I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance 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 And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy.
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 behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I had seen in the plain.
Ary, indro, teo ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely tahaka ilay fahitana efa hitako teo amin’ ny lohasaha.
5 And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north. And I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry.
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 And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see 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 And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold 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 And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, loahy ny ampiantany; dia noloahako ny ampiantany ka, indro, nisy varavarana.
9 And he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Midìra, ka jereo ny fahavetavetana lehibe ataony eto.
10 And I went in and saw, and behold every form of creeping things, and of living creatures, the abomination, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were painted on the wall all round about.
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 And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense.
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 And he said to me: Surely thou seest. O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
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 And he said to me: If thou turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations which these commit.
Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataony koa ianao.
14 And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis.
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 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again: and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany ry zanak’ olona? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe noho ireto koa ianao.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising 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 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a 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 also will deal with them in my wrath: my eye shall not spare them, neither will I shew mercy: and when they shall cry to my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear 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.
