Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
Ry zanak’ olona, manaova fampanonona, ary milazà fanoharana amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely,
3 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar;
ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Nisy voromahery lehibe nanana elatra lehibe, sady lava ny volon’ elany, ary nisoratsoratra avokoa ny volony rehetra; dia tonga tao Libanona izy ka naka izay avo indrindra amin’ ny rantsan’ ny sedera;
4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
ny tendron’ ny tarony dia nolaingosany ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny tany fandrantoana; eny, tao an-tanànan’ ny mpandranto no namboleny azy.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters, he set it as a slip.
Nangalany koa ny voan-javatra tamin’ ny tany ka namboleny tao amin’ ny tany lonaka; nentiny ho eo amoron’ ny rano be iny ka nataony araka ny fanao amin’ ny hazomalahelo.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Dia naniry iny ka tonga voaloboka iva misandrahaka, mba hitodihan’ ny rantsany ho eo aminy ary ny fakany ho ao ambaniny; ka dia tonga voaloboka izy ka nandrantsana sy nanaroka.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
Ary nisy voromahery lehibe hafa koa nanana elatra lehibe sady be volo, ary, indro, manina azy izany voaloboka izany ka nampanatona ny fakany hankany aminy sady nampanaroka ny rantsany avy tamin’ ny tany voafaritra nambolena azy mba hankany aminy koa mba holemany.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately vine.
Voavoly tao amin’ ny saha tsara teo amoron’ ny rano be izy mba handrantsana sy hamoa ka ho voaloboka tsara indrindra.
9 Say thou: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither, yea, wither in all its sprouting leaves? neither shall great power or much people be at hand when it is plucked up by the roots thereof.
Ataovinao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ho vanona va izy? Tsy hongotana va ny fakany, ary hotazana ny voany, mba halazo izy? Halazo ny raviny rehetra, raha vao mitsimoka, ka na dia ny sandry mahery sy ny vahoaka betsaka aza tsy hahay mampaniry azy avy amin’ ny fakany intsony.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? In the beds where it grew it shall wither.'
Koa, indro, na dia voavoly aza izy, moa ho vanona va? Tsy halazo tokoa va izy, raha asian’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana? Eny, halazo eo amin’ ny tany voafaritra naniriany izy.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
12 'Say now to the rebellious house: Know ye not what these things mean? tell them: Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon;
Lazao amin’ ny taranaka maditra hoe: Tsy fantatrareo va ny hevitr’ ireto zavatra ireto? Lazao aminy hoe: Indro, efa tonga tany Jerosalema ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ka naka ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka tao, dia nitondra azy ho any aminy any Babylona.
13 and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away;
Ary naka ny anankiray tamin’ ny taranaky ny mpanjaka izy, dia nanao fanekena taminy ka nampianiana azy, ary ny lehilahy mahery tamin’ ny tany dia nentiny nandeha,
14 that his might be a lowly kingdom, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
mba hietry ny fanjakana ka tsy hiarina, mba hotandremana ny fanekeny ka haharitra.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Fa niodina taminy izy ka naniraka olona hankany Egypta, mba hanome soavaly sy olona maro azy ireo. Moa hambinina va izy? Ho afa-mandositra va izay manao toy izany? Nivadika ny fanekena izy, ka ho afa-mandositra va?
16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, dia any amin’ ny tanin’ ilay mpanjaka nampanjaka azy sady nampianiana azy nefa nohamavoiny ny fianianana, ary nivadihany ny fanekeny eny, any amin’ io, any Babylona, no hahafatesany.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company succour him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls;
Ary amin’ ny hanandratan’ ireo tovon-tany sy ny hanaovany tilikambo handringanana olona maro, dia tsy hanampy azy amin’ ny ady akory Farao, na dia manana miaramila maro sy vahoaka betsaka aza.
18 seeing he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
Fa efa nanamavo ny fianianana izy tamin’ ny nivadihany ny fanekena, fa he! efa nanolotra ny tànany izy, kanjo nanao izany rehetra izany ihany, dia tsy ho afa-mandositra izy.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely Mine oath that he hath despised, and My covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Raha velona koa Aho, ny fampianianako izay nohamavoiny ary ny fanekeko izay nivadihany dia hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany tokoa.
20 And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his treachery that he hath committed against Me.
Ary ny fandrika haratoko dia hovelariko aminy, ka ho voan’ ny fandriko izy, ary ho entiko any Babylona ka hotsaraiko any noho ny nivadihany tamiko.
21 And all his mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
Ary ny miaramilany rehetra izay afa-mandositra dia ho lavon’ ny sabatra, ary izay sisa dia haely ho amin’ ny rivotra rehetra, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent;
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izaho dia haka amin’ ny rantsana avo indrindra amin’ ny sedera avo, ka hamboleko izany; holaingosako ny tendron’ ny laingony milenodenoka, ka hamboleko ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra avo sy milangalanga izany.
23 in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
Ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra avon’ ny Isiraely no hamboleko azy; ary handrantsana sy hamoa izy ka ho tonga sedera tsara indrindra, ary ny vorona samy hafa rehetra hitoetra ao aminy; ao amin’ ny alokaloky ny rantsany no hitoerany.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I the LORD have spoken and have done it.'
Ary ho fantatry ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha fa Izaho Jehovah no efa nanetry ny hazo avo ka nanandratra ny hazo iva ary nandazo ny hazo maitso ka nampaniry ny hazo maina; Izaho Jehovah no niteny sady nanao izany.
