< Jezekiel 17 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
2 Son of man, relate a tale, and speak a parable to the house of Israel:
O ana’ondatio, taroño ty razan-drehake, naho saontsio tafatoño ty anjomba’ Israele,
3 and you shall say, Thus says the Lord; A great eagle with large wings, spreading them out very far, with many claws, which has the design of entering into Libanus—and he took the choice [branches] of the cedar:
ami’ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Nivotrake e Libanone ao ty vantio ra’elahy, amañ’ elatse jabajaba naho elatse lava, nohoñem-bolo maro-volo vaho nipetake an-tsampa’ ty mendorave loho abo;
4 he cropped off the ends of the tender twigs, and brought them into the land of Chanaan; he laid them up in a walled city.
tsinongo’e ty lengo’e naho nente’e mb’ an-tane bey tsena mb’eo; vaho navotra’e an-drovam-pampibalibalik’ ao.
5 And he took of the seed of the land, and sowed it in a field planted by much water; he set it in a conspicuous place.
Nangala’e ka ty tabiri’ i taney naho tinongi’e an-teteke kobokara ao; napo’e marine rano bei-henehene eo, vaho najado’e hoe solohotse.
6 And it sprang up, and became a weak and little vine, so that the branches thereof appeared [upon] it, and its roots were under it: and it became a vine, and put forth shoots, and sent forth its tendrils.
Nibotiboty re, ninjare vahe maro tsampa’e nan­drevake naho petrake, vaho nitolike ama’e o singa’eo, fe ambane’e ao o vaha’eo. Aa le ninjare vahe re; nitirian-tora’e naho nampitakare’e mb’eo mb’eo o singa’eo.
7 And there was another great eagle, with great wings and many claws: and, behold, this vine bent itself round toward him, and her roots [were turned] towards him, and she sent forth her branches towards him, that [he] might water her together with the growth of her plantation.
Teo ka ty vantio ra’elahy amañ’ elatse jabajaba naho volo maro; le heheke te natola’ i vahey mb’ama’e o vaha’ eo, vaho nahiti’e mb’ama’e o tora’eo boak’ amy vavahaly namboleañe aze hanondraha’ey.
8 She thrives in a fair field by much water, to produce shoots and bear fruit, that she might become a great vine.
Toe nitongise’e an-tane soa marine rano mihenehene, hitiria’ o tora’eo, hiegoego ho vahe soa.
9 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord; Shall it prosper? shall not the roots of her tender stem and her fruit be blighted? yes, all her early shoots shall be dried up, and [that] not by a mighty arm, nor by many people, to tear her up from her roots.
Ano ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Hiraorao v’izay? Tsy hombota’e hao o vaha’eo naho hampiantoe’e o voa’eo vaho hapo’e hiforejeje—le sindre hiheatse o raven-doha-tao’eo? Le ndra haozaram-bey ndra ondaty mitozantozañe tsy hahafitroats’ aze boak’ ambahatse.
10 And, behold, it thrives: shall it prosper? shall it not wither as soon as the east wind touches it? it shall be withered together with the growth of its shoots.
Oniño, t’ie aketsa eo, hihaveloñe hao? Tsy hiheatse amy zao hao naho iozà’ i tiok’atiñanañey? Toe hiforejeje amo vavahaly nitiria’eo.
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me saying,
Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
12 Son of man, say now to the provoking house, Know you not what these things were? say [to them], Whenever the king of Babylon shall come against Jerusalem, then he shall take her king and her princes, and shall take them home to Babylon.
Saontsio henaneo i anjomba miolay: Fohi’ areo hao ty ango’ i taliliy? Taroño am’ iereo ty hoe: Hehe fa nivotrake e Ierosalaime ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, naho rinambe’e i mpanjaka’ey naho o roandria’eo, vaho nasese’e mindre ama’e mb’e Bavele mb’eo;
13 And he shall take of the seed royal, and shall make a covenant with him, and shall bind him with an oath: and he shall take the princes of the land:
le rinambe’e ty tiri’ i fifeheañey naho nifañina’e vaho nampifanta’e; fa rinambe’e ka o fanalolahi’ i taneio,
14 that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it.
soa te hafotsak’ ambane i fifeheañey tsy hiongake ka, soa te ho tana’e ty nifañina’e vaho hirekets’ ama’e.
15 And [if] he shall revolt from him, to send his messengers into Egypt, that [they] may give him horses and much people; shall he prosper? shall he that acts as an adversary be preserved? and shall he that transgresses the covenant be preserved?
F’ie niola ami’te nirahe’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo o sorotà’eo, hañomeza’ iareo soavala naho ondaty maro. Hiraorao hao re? Hapoke hipoliotse hao ty manao izay? Hadoñe hivongaritse hao i nivalik’ amy fañina’eiy?
16 [As] I live, says the Lord, verily in [the] place where the king is that made him king, who dishonored my oath, and who broke my covenant, shall he die with him in the midst of Babylon.
Aa kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le amy fimoneña’ i mpanjaka’ nañoreñ’ aze ho mpanjakay, ie tsinambolitio’e i nifantà’ey naho nifotera’e i fañina’ey, le añivo’ i Bavele ao ty hihomaha’e.
17 And Pharaoh shall make war upon him not with a large force or great multitude, in throwing up a mound, and in building of forts, to cut off souls.
Le tsy hahafañolotse aze t’i Parò amo lahin-defoñe mitozantozañeo naho amy valobohò’ey, ie amotria’ iareo tamboho, naho andranjia’e fikalañe fatratse hañitoa’e t’indaty maro,
18 Whereas he has profaned the oath so as to break the covenant, when, behold, I engage his hand, and he has done all these things to him, he shall not escape.
ie nañamavo i fantay, nivalike amy fañinay, naho nanolo-pitàñe mbore nanao ieaby rezay, toe tsy hipoliotse.
19 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, surely mine oath which he has profaned, and my covenant which he has transgressed, I will even recompense it upon his head.
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Kanao velon-dRaho, le hafoteko añ’ambone’e eo i nifantàko nitsambolitio’ey naho i fañinako navali’ey.
20 And I will spread a net upon him, and he shall be caught in its snare.
Le halafiko ama’e ty haratoko, naho ho tsepaheñe an-koboko ao, le Izaho ty hanese aze mb’e Bavele añe, hizaka aze amo fandilarañe niolà’e amakoo.
21 In every battle of his they shall fall by the sword, and I will scatter [his] remnant to every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
Sindre hampikorovohe’ ty fibara o gike ama’eo naho o fonga lahin-defo’eo, naho songa hampiparatsaheñe mb’amo tiokeo mb’eo ze sehanga’e; ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara.
22 For thus says the Lord; I will even take of the choice [branches] of the cedar from the top [thereof], I will crop off their hearts, and I will plant it on a high mountain:
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Ho tsongoeko ka ty tora’e an-tiotio’ i talý aboy, naho haoreko; ho harateko boak’ an-tora’e fatratse ty lengo’e maleme, vaho haketsako an-tamboho abo mininginingy ey;
23 and I will hang it on a lofty mountain of Israel: yes, I will plant it, and it shall put forth shoots, and shall bear fruit, and it shall be a great cedar: and every bird shall rest beneath it, even every fowl shall rest under its shadow: its branches shall be restored.
amy vohitse abo’ Israeley ty hamboleako aze le hitiry tsampa’e naho hamoa voa vaho hinjare talý fanjaka; le sindre himoneñ’ ambane’e ao ze karazam-boroñe; naho songa hitsolok’ an-kalo’ o tora’eo ze raha mitiliñe.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
Le ho rendre’ ze hene hatae am-patrañe ao te Izaho Iehovà ty nampideboñe i hatae nijoalay, naho naonjoko ty hatae bory; nampiforejejèko ty hatae leñe vaho nampiraoraoeko ty hatae maike; Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara naho nanao.
