Ezekiel 16
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
Ry zanak’ olona, ampahafantaro an’ i Jerosalema ny fahavetavetany,
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ i Jerosalema: Ny tany Kanana no nahaterahanao sy nahabe anao; Amorita no rainao, ary Hetita no reninao.
4 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
Ary ny amin’ ny nahaterahanao, dia tsy voatapaka akory ny tadim-poitrao tamin’ ny andro nahaterahanao, ary tsy voampandro tamin’ ny rano ianao, na voahosotra sira, na voahodidina lamban-jaza akory.
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
Tsy nisy maso niantra anao hanao izany aminao, na dia iray akory amin’ ireo zavatra ireo aza, mba hamindra fo aminao; fa nariana tany an-tsaha ianao, satria natao ho zava-maharikoriko ianao tamin’ ny andro nahaterahanao.
6 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
Ary raha nandalo Aho ka nahita anao nihosinkosina teo amin’ ny rànao, dia hoy Izaho taminao, raha mbola tamin’ ny rànao ianao: Ho velona anie ianao; eny, hoy Izaho taminao, raha mbola tamin’ ny rànao ianao: Ho velona anie ianao.
7 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
Efa nataoko alinalina, toy ny zava-maniry any an-tsaha, ny isanao, ka nitombo sy nihalehibe ary tonga tsara tarehy tokoa ianao; naniry nono ianao sady naniry volo, nefa mbola nitanjaka sy nihanjahanja ihany
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
Ary raha nandalo Aho ka nijery anao, dia hitako fa izay no fotoanao, dia ny fotoam-pitiavana: ary narakotro anao ny lambako, ka nosaronako ny fitanjahanao; eny, nianiana taminao Aho ka nanao fanekena taminao, hoy Jehovah Tompo, ka dia efa Ahy ianao.
9 [And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
Dia nampandroiko rano ianao, eny, nosasako tsara ho afaka tamin’ ny rànao, dia nohosorako diloilo.
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
Notafiako lamba misoratsoratra koa ianao sy nokiraroako hoditakasy, ary nampisikiniko rongony fotsy madinika sy notafiako amparasily.
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
Noravahako firavaka koa ianao, ka nasiako haba ny tananao ary rojo ny vozonao
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
Ary nasiako kavina ny oronao sy ny sofinao ary satro-boninahitra tsara tarehy ny lohanao,
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
ka dia niravaka volamena sy volafotsy ianao, ary rongony fotsy madinika sy amparasily ary lamba misoratsoratra ny fitafianao; koba tsara toto sy tantely ary diloilo no fihinanao; ary efa nihatsara tarehy dia nihatsara tarehy ianao sady nambinina ho miendrik’ andriana
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
Ary dia niely tany amin’ ny jentilisa aza ny lazanao noho ny hatsaran-tarehinao; fa tanteraka izany noho ny voninahitro izay nataoko taminao, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
kanjo natoky ny hatsaran-tarehinao ianao ka nijangajanga noho ny lazanao sady nanaram-po nijangajanga tamin’ ny mpandalo rehetra, ka nafoy ho azy izany
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
Ary nangalanao ny fitafianao, dia nanaovanao fitoerana avo ho anao ka noravahanao sora-damba, ka nijangajanga teo aminy ianao; dia zavatra izay tsy tokony hiseho na hisy akory.
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
Ary nalainao koa ny firavakao tamin’ ny volamenako sy ny volafotsiko, izay nomeko anao, dia nataonao sarin-dehilahy ho anao ka nijangajanganao;
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
nalainao koa ny fitafianao misoratsoratra ka natatinao ireo; ary ny diloiloko sy ny ditin-kazo manitro dia napetrakao teo anoloany
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
Ary ny haniko izay nomeko anao koa, dia ny koba tsara toto sy ny diloilo ary ny tantely, izay nafahako anao, dia napetrakao teo anoloan’ ireo ho hanitra ankasitrahana; teo tokoa izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
Ary nentinao ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, izay naterakao ho Ahy, dia novonoinao ho fanatitra ho an’ ireo mba hohanina. Moa zavatra kely va izany fijangajanganao izany?
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
Ary novonoinao ny zanakao, fa natolotrao ka nampandehaninao namaky ny afo ho an’ ireo.
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
Ary tamin’ ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao rehetra dia tsy nahatsiaro ny andro fahakelezanao ianao, fony ianao nitanjaka sy nihanjahanja sady nihosinkosina teo amin’ ny rànao.
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
Ary rehefa vitanao izany faharatsianao rehetra izany (lozanao! lozanao! hoy Jehovah Tompo),
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
dia nanao trano fijangajangana ho anao ianao sady nanao fitoerana avo ho anao teny an-kalalahana rehetra teny.
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
Ary teny an-tsampanan-dalana rehetra no nanaovanao ny fitoerana avonao, ary novetavetainao ny hatsaran-tarehinao, ka nabahanao ho amin’ ny mpandalo rehetra ny tongotrao, ary nampitomboinao ny fijangajanganao.
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
Hianao efa nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanak’ i Egypta be nofo izay mifanila fonenana aminao; ary nampitomboinao ny fijangajanganao ka nampahatezitra Ahy.
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
Ary, indro, nahinjitro taminao ny tanako, ka nahenako ny anjara-haninao, ary natolotro ho amin’ ny sitrapon’ izay mankahala anao ianao, dia ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina, izay menatra noho ny fahavetavetana fanaonao.
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
Ary nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanak’ i Asyria koa ianao noho ny tsi-fahafaham-ponao; eny, nijangajanga taminy ianao, nefa mbola tsy afa-po ihany.
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
Ary mbola nampandrosoinao ihany ny fijangajanganao hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny mpandranto. Dia hatrany Kaldea; fa na tia tamin’ izany aza dia mbola tsy afa-po ihany ianao.
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
Akory ny fahamaimain’ ny fonao! hoy Jehovah Tompo, tamin’ ny nanaovanao ireo rehetra ireo, dia ny fanaon’ ny janga tsivalahara!
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
Tamin’ ny nanaovanao ny trano fijangajanganao teny an-tsampanan-dalana rehetra sy ny nanaovanao ny fitoerana avonao teny an-kalalahana rehetra dia tsy mba tahaka ny vehivavy janga ianao, satria tsy nahoanao akory izay tangy.
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
Ny vadin’ olona mijangajanga dia maka olon-kafa ho solon’ ny vadiny!
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
Sy vehivavy janga rehetra dia omen-tangy; fa ianao kosa manangy ireo lehilahinao rehetra sady manome azy fanambatambazana hanatonan’ ny ny manodidina rehetra anao mba hijangajangany aminao.
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
Ary hafa noho ny amin’ ny vehivavy sasany mihitsy ny fanaonao tamin’ ny fijangajanganao, fa tsy nisy nanaraka anao hijangajanga taminao; eny, satria nanome tangy ianao, fa tsy mba nomena, dia izany indrindra no mahahafa anao
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
Koa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry kala janga:
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nandanianao volabe sy ny nampisehoana ny fitanjahanao tamin’ ny nijangajanganao tamin’ ireny lehilahinao sy ny sampinao rehetra, izay fahavetavetanao, ary noho ny ran’ ny zanakao izay naterinao ho an’ ireo.
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
dia, indro, hovoriko ireny lehilahinao rehetra ireny, izay mankamany anao sy izay tianao rehetra mbamin’ ireny rehetra izay halanao koa, eny hovoriko avy amin’ ny manodidina ireny mba hamely anao, ka hampisehoiko aminy ny fitanjahanao, dia hahita ny fitanjahanao rehetra izy;
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
ary hotsaraiko ianao araka ny fitsara vehivavy mijangajanga sy izay mandatsa-drà, ka halatsako ny rànao noho ny fahatezerana sy ny fahasaro-piaro.
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
Dia hatolotro ho eny an-tànan’ ireny ianao, ka harodany ny trano fijangajanganao, ary horavany ny fitoerana avonao; dia hendahany koa ny fitafianao, ary hesoriny ny firavakao soa, ka havelany hitanjaka sy hiboridana ianao.
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Dia hitondra vahoaka maro be hiakatra hamely anao koa izy ka hotorahany vato sady hotetitetehiny amin’ ny sabany ianao.
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
Ary hodorany amin’ ny afo ny tranonao, ka hotanterahiny eo imason’ ny vehivavy maro ny famaliana anao ary hatsahatro tsy hijangajanga ianao ka tsy hanangy intsony.
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
Toy izany no hialako fo aminao, ary ho afaka ny fahasaro-piaroko aminao, dia hionona Aho ka tsy ho tezitra intsony.
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
Noho ny tsy nahatsiarovanao ny andro fahakelezanao, fa niempo nanohitra Ahy tamin’ ireo rehetra ireo ianao, dia; indro, ny nataonao ihany no hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohanao, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Ary tsy nanao izany ratsy izany ho fanampin’ ny fahavetavetanao rehetra va ianao?
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
Indro, ny mpanao ohabolana rehetra dia hamely anao amin’ izao ohabolana izao hoe: Manahaka an-dreniny ihany ny zananivavy.
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
Hianao dia zanakavavin-dreninao, izay mahafoy ny vadiny aman-janany; ary ianao dia rahavavin’ ireo rahavavinao, izay nahafoy ny vadiny aman-janany; Hetita no reninareo, ary Amorita no rainareo.
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
Samaria no zokinao-vavy, dia izy sy ny zananivavy izay monina eo an-kavianao; ary ny zandrinao vavy, izay monina amin’ ny an-kavananao, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy.
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
Nefa tsy araka ny alehan’ ireo ihany no nalehanao, ary tsy araka ny fahavetavetan’ ireo ihany no nataonao; fa hoatra ny zavatra kely loatra izany, ka dia nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ireo indray ianao tamin’ ny nalehanao rehetra.
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, na dia Sodoma rahavavinao sy ny zananivavy aza tsy mba nanao tahaka ny nataonao sy ny zanakao-vavy.
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
Indro, izao no helok’ i Sodoma rahavavinao: Avonavona sy fahabetsahan-kanina ary fahatokiam-poana no tao aminy sy tao amin’ ny zananivavy, ary tsy mba nitantana ny malahelo sy ny mahantra izy.
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
Niavonavona izy ka nanao fahavetavetana teo anatrehako; ary nony nahita izany Aho, dia nanaisotra azy.
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
Ary tsy ampy antsasaky ny fahotanao ny nataon’ i Samaria; fa ianao efa nampitombo ny fahavetavetanao mihoatra noho izy, ary nampiseho ny rahavavinao ho toa marina indray tamin’ ny fahavetave-tanao rehetra izay nataonao.
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
Hianao koa dia aoka hitondra ny henatrao araka ny efa nitsaranao ny rahavavinao. Noho ny fahotanao izay nahatonga anao ho vetaveta mihoatra noho ireo, ka dia miseho ho toa marina noho ianao izy, eny, menara koa ianao, ka mitondrà ny henatrao noho ny nampisehoanao ny rahavavinao ho toa marina.
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
Ary hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ireny, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy, ary Samaria sy ny zananivavy mbamin’ izay olonao voababo,
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
mba hitondranao ny henatrao sy hangaihaizanao noho izay rehetra nataonao amin’ ny hampiononanao azy.
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
Ary ny rahavavinao, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy, dia hody amin’ ny toetrany taloha, ary Samaria sy ny zananivavy dia hody amin’ ny toetrany taloha, ary ianao sy ny zanakaovavy dia hody amin’ ny toetrareo taloha koa.
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
Nefa tsy mbola mba notononin’ ny vavanao akory ny nanjo an’ i Sodoma rahavavinao tamin’ ny andro niavonavonanao,
57 before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
fony tsy mbola niseho ny faharatsianao, toy ny tamin’ ny andro nandatsan’ ny zanakavavin’ i Syria sy izay rehetra manodidina azy ary ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina, izay namingavinga anao manodidina.
58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
Ny faharatsianao sy ny fahavetavetanao no ho entinao, hoy Jehovah.
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Araka ny nataonao ihany no hataoko aminao, izay namingavinga ny fianianana ka nivadika ny fanekena.
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
Nefa hotsarovako ny fanekena nataoko taminao, tamin’ ny andro fahakelezanao, ka hanorina fanekena mandrakizay aminao Aho.
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
Dia hotsarovanao ny nalehanao, ka ho menatra ianao, raha mandray ireo rahavavinao, dia ny zokinao sy ny zandrinao; ka homeko ho zanakao-vavy ireo, na dia tsy mba isan’ ilay nanaovako fanekena taminao aza.
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Izaho hanorina ny fanekeko aminao, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah,
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
mba hahatsiarovanao sy hangaihainao ary tsy hiloahanao vava intsony noho ny henatrao, raha mamela ny helokao ny amin’ ny nataonao rehetra Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
