< Ezekiel 3 >
1 Then said he unto me, Son of man What thou findest, eat, —eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, hano izay hitanao, eny, hano ity horonan-taratasy ity, dia mandehana, ka mitenena amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
2 So I opened my mouth, —and he caused me to eat this roll.
Dia nosokafako ny vavako, ary nafahany ahy izany horonan-taratasy izany.
3 Then said he unto me Son of man. Thy belly, cause thou to eat and thy bowels, fill thou with this roll which I am giving unto thee. So I did eat, and it became in my mouth, as honey for sweetness.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, vokiso ny kibonao, ary fenoy ny horonan-taratasy omeko anao ity ny tsinainao. Dia nihinana aho, ka, mamy tao am-bavako toy ny tantely izy.
4 Then said he unto me, — Son of man Go get thee unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak with my words, unto them.
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, andeha mankany amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ka lazao aminy ny teniko.
5 For not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue, art thou sent —[but] unto the house of Israel:
Fa tsy ho any amin’ ny firenena miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika no anirahana anao, fa ho any amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ihany;
6 not unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, —surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.
tsy ho amin’ ny firenena maro, izay miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika, ka tsy ho azonao ny teniny, fa raha maniraka anao ho amin’ ireto Aho, dia hihaino anao izy.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, —for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.
Fa ny taranak’ Isiraely dia tsy mety mihaino anao, satria tsy mety mihaino Ahy izy; fa ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra dia mafy handrina sady madi-po.
8 Lo! I have made thy face bold like as their faces, and thy forehead bold like as their forehead.
Indro, efa nohamafiko ny tarehinao hiatrika amin’ ny tarehiny sy ny handrinao hanandrina ny handriny.
9 As an adamant harder than flint, have I made thy forehead, —thou shalt not fear them neither shalt thou be dismayed at their faces, For a perverse house, they are!
Ataoko toy ny diamondra ny handrinao, eny, mafy noho ny vatolampy aza; ka aza matahotra azy na mivadi-po noho ny tarehiny, fa taranaka maditra izy.
10 Then said he unto me, — Son of man. All my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive thou into thy heart and in thine ears, hear thou:
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ny teny rehetra izay holazaiko aminao dia aoka ho mamin’ ny fonao, ka henoy amin’ ny sofinao.
11 then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.
Dia mandehana mankany amin’ ny babo, dia ireo zanaky ny firenenao ary mitenena aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, — Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!
Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy, dia nandre horakoraka be teo ivohoko aho nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fitoerany.
13 Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.
Ary reko koa ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny zava-manan’ aina, izay nifanendry, sy ny fidilodilotry ny kodia teo anilany sy ny horakoraka be.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, —and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but the hand of Yahweh upon me was strong.
Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ka nitondra ahy, dia lasa aho sady nirehitra tamin’ ny fahavontosan’ ny fanahiko; ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia nahery tao amiko.
15 Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,
Dia tonga tany amin’ ny babo tany Telabiba aho, dia teo amin’ izay nonina teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara, teo amin’ izay nipetrahany, ary mandritra ny hafitoana dia tahaka ilay torana iny aho.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying
Ary nony afaka ny hafitoana, dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
17 Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel, —and thou shalt hear, at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
Ry zanak’ olona, efa nataoko mpitily ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ianao; ka dia hohenoinao ny teny avy amin’ ny vavako, ary avy amiko no hananaranao azy.
18 When I say to the lawless man— Thou shalt surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless way, to save himself alive the same lawless man in his iniquity shall die, but his blood, at thy hand, will I require.
Raha hoy Izaho amin’ ny ratsy fanahy: Ho faty tokoa ianao! ary tsy mananatra azy ianao, na miteny hananatra ny ratsy fanahy, hialany amin’ ny lalany ratsy hamonjena ny ainy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany ilay ratsy fanahy; nefa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
19 Whereas when thou hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness and from his lawless way he in his iniquity shall die, but Thou hast delivered thine own soul.
Fa raha mananatra ny ratsy fanahy kosa ianao, ka izy no tsy mety miala amin’ ny faharatsiany sy amin’ ny lalany ratsy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany izy; fa ho voavonjinao ny fanahinao.
20 And when a righteous man hath turned from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling- block to be laid before him he shall die, —though thou hast not warned him, in his sin, shall he die, neither shall be remembered his righteous deeds which he hath done, but his blood, at thy hand will I require;
Ary koa, raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka, ary mametraka fahatafintohinana eo anoloany Aho, dia Ho faty izy; eny noho ny tsy nananaranao azy dia ho faty amin’ ny fahotany ihany izy, ary ny fahamarinana izay nataony tsy hotsaroana, nefa kosa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
21 whereas when Thou hast warned a righteous man. That a righteous man must not sin and he hath not sinned, he shall surely live in that he took warning, and thou hast delivered thine own soul.
Fa raha mananatra ny marina mba tsy hanota ianao, ka tsy manota izy, dia ho velona tokoa izy, satria nino anatra; ary voavonjinao koa ny fanahinao.
22 Then came upon me there the hand of Yahweh, —and he said unto me, Arise go forth into the valley, and there, will I speak with thee.
Ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia tamiko, ary hoy Izy tamiko: Mitsangàna, ka mivoaha ho any amin’ ny lohasaha, ary any no hitenenako aminao.
23 So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, -and I fell upon my face.
Dia nitsangana aho ka nivoaka nankany amin’ ny lohasaha; ary, indro, nitoetra teo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah tahaka ny voninahitra izay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet, —and he spake with me and said unto me, Go in shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house,
Ary nisy fanahy tonga tao anatiko ka nampitsangana ahy; dia niteny tamiko Izy ka nanao hoe: Andeha, mirindrina ao anatin’ ny tranonao ianao.
25 And thou—O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith, -. so that thou go not forth in their midst;
Fa ianao, ry zanak’ olona, indro, hasiany fatorana, izay hamatorany anao, ka tsy hahazo mivoaka ho ao aminy ianao.
26 thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, — For a perverse house, they are!
Ary hampiraiketiko amin’ ny lanilaninao ny lelanao, ka ho moana ianao ary tsy ho mpananatra azy; fa taranaka maditra izy.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, —He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!
Fa raha miteny aminao Aho, dia hosokafako ny vavanao, ka dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izay mihaino, dia aoka izy hihaino; ary izay tsy mihaino, dia aoka izy tsy hihaino kosa; fa taranaka maditra izy.
