Ezekiel 20
1 And it comes to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], on the tenth of the month, men from [the] elderly of Israel have come in to seek YHWH, and they sit before me;
Tamy andro faha-folo’ i volam-paha-lime’ i taom-paha-fitoy, le nivotrak’ amako ty ila’ o androanavi’ Israeleo hañontane Iehovà, vaho niambesatse aoloko eo.
2 and there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Niheo amako amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
3 “Son of man, speak to the elderly of Israel, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you coming in to seek Me? [As] I live—I am not sought by you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
O ana’ ondatio, misaontsia amo androanavi’ Israeleo ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Niheo mb’etoy hao nahareo hañontane ahy? Amy te Izaho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, tsy hañontanea’ areo.
4 Do you judge them? Do you judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
Te hizaka iareo hao irehe? Ho zakae’o hao, ry ana’ ondaty? Tohino ami’ty haloloan-droae’ iareo:
5 and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] your God YHWH.
Le ano ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Amy andro nijoboñeko Israeley, naho nañonjon-tsirañ’ ami’ty tirin’ anjomba’ Iakobe, naho nampahafohineko iareo iraho an-tane Mitsraime añe, ie nañonjonako sirañe, nanao ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà ro Andrianañahare’ areo;
6 In that day I lifted up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, To a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the lands,
amy andro nizonjoako sirañe am-panta t’ie hakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao pak’an-tane nihentseñeko ho a iareo, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele, ty loho fanjaka amy ze hene tane,
7 And I say to them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And do not be defiled with the idols of Egypt, I [am] your God YHWH.
le hoe iraho am’ iereo, Fonga ahifiho añe ze hativañe mahasinda fihaino, vaho ko mileotse amo samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
8 And they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to listen to Me, Each has not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, And have not forsaken the idols of Egypt, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.
F’ie niola amako, toe nanjehatse, songa tsy nimete nañifike ty hativañe am-pihaino’e, naho tsy napo’ iareo o samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; aa le hoe iraho, hakofòko am’ iereo ty fiforoforoako, vaho ho henefako ama’e ty habosehako añivo-tane Mitsraime ao.
9 And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are in], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.
Ie amy zao, ty añarako ro nitoloñako, tsy ho tivaeñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndaty añivo’ iareoo, ie aolo’ iareo eo ty nampahafohineko ahy, amy nampiakareñe iereo an-tane Mitsraimey.
10 And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them into the wilderness,
Aa le nakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao vaho nenteko mb’am-patrambey añe;
11 And I give My statutes to them, And I caused them to know My judgments, Which the man who does—lives by them.
le nitolorako o fañèkoo vaho nitaroñako o fepèkoo, o mahaveloñe ondaty mañavelo ama’eoo.
12 And I have also given My Sabbaths to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] YHWH who is sanctifying them.
Nitolorako o Sabatekoo ka ho viloñe añivo’ iareo naho Izaho, haharendreha’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà ro Mpampiavake iareo.
13 And the house of Israel rebels against Me in the wilderness, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have despised My judgments, Which the man who does—lives by them. And they have greatly defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Fe niola amako an-dratraratra añe ty anjomba’Israele; tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, naho nimavoe’ iereo o fepèkoo, o maha-veloñe ondatio t’ie ambenañe, vaho loho nitivà’ iareo o Sabatekoo; aa le hoe iraho: Hakofòko am’ iereo ty haviñerako am-patram-bey añe le ho mongoreko.
14 And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.
F’ie nitoloñeko avao tsy ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty añarako, ie am-pahaoniña’ iareo ty nañakarako iareo.
15 And also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them into the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the lands,
Aa le mbe nazonjoko am’ iereo am-patrañe ao ty tañako naho nifanta te tsy hampiziliheko amy tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele natoloko iareoy—ty enge’ ze hene tane;
16 Because they kicked against My judgments, And they have not walked in My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, For their heart is going after their idols.
amy te nitsambolitio’ iareo o fepèkoo naho tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, te mone tiniva’ iareo o Sabatekoo; ie nañorike samposampon-draha ty arofo’ iareo.
17 And My eye has pity on them—against destroying them, And I have not made an end of them in the wilderness.
Ie amy hoe zay, niferenaiña’ o masokoo le tsy nizamaneko, vaho tsy nimongoreko am-patrambey añe;
18 And I say to their sons in the wilderness: Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, And do not observe their judgments, And do not defile yourselves with their idols.
fa hoe iraho amo ana’eo an-dratraratra añe: Ko añaveloa’ areo o fañèn-droae’ areoo le ko ambena’ areo o fepè’eo vaho ko mandeo-batañe amo samposampo’ iareoo.
19 I [am] your God YHWH, walk in My statutes, And observe My judgments, and do them,
Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo. Mañaveloa amo fañèkoo, ambeno o fepèkoo vaho ano;
20 And sanctify My Sabbaths, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I [am] your God YHWH.
hamasiño o Sabotsekoo; ie viloñe añivoko naho nahareo, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
21 And the sons rebel against Me, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have not observed My judgments—to do them, Which the man who does—lives by them. They have defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My anger against them in the wilderness.
Ndra te izay, niola amako o ana’eo: tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, tsy nañambeñe o fepèkoo hanoeñe, o mahaveloñe ondaty t’ie anoeñe, vaho nileora’ iareo o Sabotsekoo; le hoe iraho: ho nadoako am’ iereo am-patrambey ao ty fiforoforoako hampanintsiñe ty habosehako.
22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.
Fe sinintoko ty tañako naho nañalañalañe ty amy añarakoy tsy mone ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio, ie am-pahaoniña’e eo ty nañakarako iareo,
23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
Toe nizonjoñako sira ka am-patrambey añe nifanta t’ie haparatsiako amo kilakila’ ndatio vaho haboeleko añivo’ o fifeheañeo;
24 Because they have not done My judgments, And they have despised My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, And their eyes have been after [the] idols of their fathers.
amy te tsy nanoe’ iereo o fepèkoo, naho tsinambolitio’ iereo o fañèkoo, naho tiniva’ iareo o Sabatekoo, vaho norihem-pihaino’ iareo o samposampon-droae’eo.
25 And I also, I have given statutes to them [that are] not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
Ie amy zay, tinoloko fañè tsy ho lefe, naho fepè tsy mahaveloñe,
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing every opener of a womb to pass away, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] YHWH.
le nileorako amo banabana’ iareoo, ie nampirangà’ iareo añ’afo ao ze manoka-koviñe, hampangoakoahako iareo, vaho hahafohiñe te Izaho Iehovà.
27 Therefore, speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Still in this your fathers have reviled Me, In their committing a trespass against Me.
Ie amy zay, ry ana’ondaty, misaontsia amy anjomba’ Israeley le ano ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao ka ty niterateràn-droae’ areo ahy ie niola amako hoe zao,
28 And I bring them into the land, That I lifted up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice their sacrifices there, And give the provocation of their offering there, And make their refreshing fragrance there, And they pour out their drink-offerings there.
ie naseseko an-tane nañonjonako sirañe hanolorako iareo, naho niisa’ iareo ze hene haboañe naho hatae mandrevake naho nañenga soroñe ey, naho nibanabana enga hanigiha’ iareo ahy, nañemboke ty mandrifondrifoñe, vaho nañiliñ’ engan-drano.
29 And I say to them: What [is] the high place to where you are going in?” And its name is called “High Place” to this day.
Aa le nanoeko ty hoe, Inoñe ze o haboañe omba’ areo zao? Vaho natao Bamà ty añara’ i aoy ampara henaneo.
30 “Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you defiling yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you go whoring after their detestable things?
Aa le ano ty hoe i Anjomba’ Israeley, Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hera nileore’ ty satan-droae’ areo? Ke manao hakarapiloañe manahake ty hativa’ iareo?
31 And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, You are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I am not sought by you.
Ie mañenga, naho ampirangà’ areo añ’afo o ana-dahi’ areoo, naho mandeo-batañe amo samposampo’ areoo pake henane; aa vaho hañontanea’ areo hao iraho ry anjomba’ Israele? Amy te Izaho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, tsy hañontanea’ areo.
32 And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all—in that you are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.
Le lia’e tsy hipaoke o fitsakorea’ areoo ie atao’ areo ty hoe: Hitsikombe o kilakila’ndatio tika, o fifokoam-pifeheañe mitoroñe vato naho hataeo.
33 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Do I not, with a strong hand, And with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury—rule over you?
Kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, toe an-taña maozatse naho an-tsira natora-kitsy naho am-pifombo nadoañe, le tsy mahay tsy ho feheko nahareo;
34 And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, With a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury.
le hakareko am’ ondatio naho hatontoko boak’ amo fifeheañe nampiparatsiahañe anahareo, an-taña maozatse naho an-tsira natorakitsy vaho am-pifombo nadoañe.
35 And I have brought you into the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.
Le haseseko mb’am-patrambei’ ondatio mb’eo, vaho ao ty hizakàko tarehe miatre-daharañe,
36 As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
manahake ty nizakako o roae’ areo am-patram-bei’ i Mitsraimeo, izay ty hañodiako anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
37 And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,
Le hampiarieko ambane kobaiñe; naho haseseko mb’ami’ty fifehea’ i fañinay ao;
38 And cleared out the rebels from you, And those transgressing against Me, I bring them out from the land of their sojournings, And they do not come to the land of Israel, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
naho ho tranaheko ama’ areo ao o mpiolao naho o nikitrok’ ahio; hakareko amy tane nitaveaña’ iareo fa tsy himoake an-tane’ Israele ao, vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
39 And you, O house of Israel, thus said Lord YHWH: Each go, serve his idols, And afterward, if you are not listening to Me [anyway], But you do not defile My holy Name anymore by your gifts, and by your idols.
Aa inahareo ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Akia songa mitoroñe o samposampo’eo, ndra t’ie nainai’e, naho tsy te hañaoñe ahy, fe ko tiva’ areo amo enga’ areo naho samposampo’ areoo ty añarako masiñe.
40 For on My holy mountain, On the mountain of the height of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH, All the house of Israel serves Me there, All of it, in the land—I accept them there, And I seek your raised-offerings there, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.
Fa amy vohin-kamasiñako an-kaboa’ Israele eoy, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, eo ty hitoroña’ ze hene anjomba’ Israele ahy amy taney, ie iaby amy taney ao; le ao ty hiantofako iereo, le ao ty hipaiako ty enga’ areo, ty loha-voa banabanae’ areo, miharo amo harao’ areo miavakeo.
41 With refreshing fragrance I accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.
Ho noko ty amo raha marifondrifoñeo nahareo, ie fa nakareko am’ ondatio, naho fa natontoko amo fifeheañe nampiparatsiahañeo; vaho havahe’ areo iraho am-pihaino’ o kilakila’ ndatio.
42 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, To the land that I lifted up My hand To give it to your fathers,
Le ho fohi’ areo te izaho Iehovà ie haseseko mb’an-tane’ Israele mb’amy fifeheañe nañonjonako sirañe hanolorako aze aman-droae’ areo añey.
43 And you have remembered your ways there, And all your doings, In which you have been defiled, And you have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that you have done.
Eo ty hahatiahia’ areo o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areo iabio, o nandeotse anahareoo; toe hampangorý anahareo ty sandri’ areo ampahaisaha’ areo ty amo haloloañe nanoe’ areoo.
44 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My dealing with you for My Name’s sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Le ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, ty nañalañalañe ho anahareo ty amy añarakoy, fa tsy ty amo halò-tsere’ areoo naho tsy ty amo fitoloña’ areo maleotseo, ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
45 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
46 “Son of man, set your face the way of Teman, and prophesy to the south, and prophesy to the forest of the field—the south;
O ana’ ondatio, ampiatrefo miañatimo ty lahara’o le mitaroña mañatimo vaho mitokia amy alay naho amy tane atimoy;
47 and you have said to the forest of the south, Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am kindling a fire in you, And it has devoured every moist tree in you, and every dry tree, The glowing flames are not quenched, And all faces from south to north have been burned by it.
le ty hoe ty hataro’o amy ala atimoy, Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà. Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ingo te hamiañe afo ama’o iraho, hamorototo ze hatae antsetra ama’o ao naho ze hatae maike; tsy hakipeke i lel’afo mibelabelay le ho mae iaby ze tarehe atimo pak’ avaratse añe.
48 And all flesh has seen, that I, YHWH, have kindled it—it is not quenched.”
Le ho oni’ ze hene nofotse te Izaho Iehovà ro namiañe aze; ie le lia’e tsy ho vonoeñe.
49 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, They are saying of me, Is he not using allegories?”
Aa le hoe ty asako, Ry Iehovà Talè! Ty hoe ty asa’ iareo ty amako: Tsy mpandrazan-drehake hao re?
