Jezekiel 19
1 Moreover do you take up a lamentation for the prince of Israel,
Ary manaova hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ ireo andrianan’ ny Isiraely ianao,
2 and say, Why is your mother become a whelp in the midst of lions? in the midst of lions she has multiplied her whelps.
ka ataovy hoe: Nahoana ny liom-bavy reninareo no namitsaka tao amin’ ny liom-bavy. Ary nitaiza ny zanany tao amin’ ny liona tanora?
3 And one of her whelps sprang forth; he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.
Ary nahalehibe ny zanany anankiray izy, dia tonga liona tanora io ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
4 And the nations heard a report of him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him into the land of Egypt in chains.
Nahare ny lazany ny firenena, dia namandrika azy tamin’ ny lavaka, ka nasiany masom-by ny orony, dia nentiny ho any amin’ ny tany Egypta izy.
5 And she saw that he was driven away from her, [and] her hope [of him] perished, and she took another of her whelps; she made him a lion.
Ary nony hitan’ ny liom-bavy fa foana sy levona ny fanantenany, dia nangalany indray ny zanany ka notezainy ho tonga liona tanora.
6 And he went up and down in the midst of lions, he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.
Ary nivoivoy teny amin’ ny liom-bavy iny, dia tonga liona tanora ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
7 And he prowled in his boldness and laid waste their cities, and made the land desolate, and the fullness of it, by the voice of his roaring.
Ary nisavika ny mpitondratenan’ ireny izy sady nandrava ny tanànany, ka lao ny tany mbamin’ izay rehetra tao aminy. Noho ny feon’ ny fierony.
8 Then the nations set upon him from the countries round about, and they spread their nets upon him: he was taken in their pit.
Ary ny jentilisa manodidina, izay avy any amin’ ny fanjakana samy hafa, dia nanamboatra sy namelatra ny fandrika haratony taminy, ka dia voafandrika tamin’ ny lavaka izy.
9 And they put him in chains and in a cage, [and] he came to the king of Babylon; and he cast him into prison, that his voice should not be heard on the mountains of Israel.
Ary nataony tamin’ ny vata izy, sady nasiany masom-by ny orony, ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona izy, nentiny ho ao amin’ ny fiarovana izy, mba tsy ho re eny amin’ ny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely intsony ny feony.
10 Your mother was as a vine and as a blossom on a pomegranate tree, planted by water: her fruit and her shoot abounded by reason of much water.
Ny reninao dia tahaka ny voalobota voavoly teo amoron-drano Tamin’ ny andro niadananao: Vokatra sady nanaroka izy azon’ ny rano be,
11 And she became a rod for a tribe of princes, and was elevated in her bulk in the midst of [other] trees, and she saw her bulk in the multitude of her branches.
Ka nisy rantsany mafy azo natao tehim-panjakana ho an’ izay manapaka, dia tonga avo izy ka nitehika tamin’ ny rahona matevina, ary niseho tamin’ ny hahavony izy noho ny hamaroan’ ny rantsany.
12 But she was broken down in wrath, she was cast upon the ground, and the east wind dried up her choice [branches]: vengeance came upon them, and the rod of her strength was withered; fire consumed it.
Nefa nongotana tamin’ ny fahavinirana izy ka nazera ho amin’ ny tany, ary ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no nahamaina ny voany; Ny rantsany mafy dia tapaka ka maina; Levon’ ny afo ireny.
13 And now they have planted her in the wilderness, in a dry land.
Ary ankehitriny voavoly any an-efitra, dia ao amin’ ny tany maina karankaina izy.
14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her choice [boughs], and has devoured her; and there was no rod of strength in her. Her race is become a parable of lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
Ary afo no mivoaka avy amin’ ny sampany misy tehina ka mandevona ny voany, dia tsy misy rantsany mafy azo atao tehim-panjakana ho fanapahana intsony izy. Hira fahalahelovana izany sady mbola ho hira fahalahelovana ihany.
