Ezekiel 19
1 "Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ary manaova hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ ireo andrianan’ ny Isiraely ianao,
2 and say, 'What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
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 She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Ary nahalehibe ny zanany anankiray izy, dia tonga liona tanora io ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
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 "'Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young 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 He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Ary nivoivoy teny amin’ ny liom-bavy iny, dia tonga liona tanora ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
7 He devastated their strongholds, and destroyed their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise 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 against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over 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 They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more 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 like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Ny reninao dia tahaka ny voalobota voavoly teo amoron-drano Tamin’ ny andro niadananao: Vokatra sady nanaroka izy azon’ ny rano be,
11 It had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their 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 it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.
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 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Ary ankehitriny voavoly any an-efitra, dia ao amin’ ny tany maina karankaina izy.
14 Fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule.' This is a lamentation, and 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.
