Ezekiel 23
1 Yahweh said to me,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 “You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
Ry zanak’ olona, nisy vehivavy mirahavavy iray tam-po;
3 They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
ary nijangajanga tany Egypta izy; fony izy mbola tanora no nijangajanga; tao no nisafosafoana ny tratrany, ary tao no nitsapatsapana ny nonon’ ny fahavirijinany.
4 The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
Ny anaran’ ny zokiny dia Ohola, ary ny rahavaviny dia Oholiba; ary novadiko izy ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy. Ny amin’ ny anarany: Samaria no Ohola, ary Jerosalema no Oholiba.
5 Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
Ary raha mbola vadiko Ohola, dia nijangajanga izy; maimay izy tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, dia ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy,
6 [Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
izay mitafy mangamanga, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
7 She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
Nijangajanga tamin’ ireny izy, dia tamin’ izay tsara indrindra tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Asyria sy tamin’ izay rehetra nahamaimay azy; tamin’ ny sampiny rehetra no nandotoany tena.
8 When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
Ary ny fijangajangana izay fanaony hatrany Egypta dia tsy foiny; fa fony izy mbola tanora dia nandrian’ ireny, ary ireny no nitsapatsapa ny tratran’ ny fahavirijinany sady nanaram-po nijangajanga taminy.
9 So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
Ary noho izany dia natolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ireo lehilahiny izy, dia eo an-tànan’ ny Asyriana izay nahamaimay azy.
10 They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
Ireny no nampiseho ny fitanjahany; ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy dia lasan’ ireny, ary ny tenany novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ka dia tonga ambentinteny tamin’ ny vehivavy izy ary efa niharan’ ny fitsarana.
11 [younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
Ary nony hitan’ i Oholiba rahavaviny izany, dia vao mainka nataony manoatra noho ny azy indray ny fahamaimaizany, ary ny fijangajangany manoatra noho ny an’ ny rahavaviny,
12 Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
Maimay tamin’ ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy izy, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, olona mareva-pitafiana sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly, samy tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra.
13 I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
Dia hitako fa efa nandoto ny tenany izy, fa lalana iray ihany no nalehan’ izy mirahavavy;
14 But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
ary mbola nampandrosoiny ihany ny fijangajangany, fa nahita sariolona voasoratra teo amin’ ny rindrina izy sy ny sarin’ ny Kaldeana voasoratra tamin’ ny loko mena.
15 The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
samy nisy fehin-kibo nifehy teo am-balahany sy hamama voanato nisy rambony teo an-dohany; ny fijery azy rehetra dia toy ny fijery zanak’ andriana, dia tahaka ny zanakalahin’ i Babylona, izay teraka tany amin’ ny tany Kaldea.
16 As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
Ary raha vao hitan’ ny masony ireny, dia maimay taminy izy ka naniraka olona ho any aminy tany Kaldea.
17 Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
Ary tonga tany aminy ho ao amin’ ny fandriam-pitiavana ireny zanakalahin’ i Babylona ka nandoto azy tamin’ ny fijangajangany; ary nony efa voaloton’ ireny izy, dia niombotra niala taminy kosa ny fanahiny.
18 But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
Ary rehefa naneho ny fijangajangany sy nampiseho ny fitanjahany izy, dia niombotra niala taminy ny fanahiko, toy ny efa niombotan’ ny fanahiko niala tamin’ ny rahavaviny ihany.
19 But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
Dia nampitombo ny fijangajangany ihany izy, ka dia nahatsiaro ny andro fahatanorany, izay nijangajangany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
20 There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
Fa izy dia maimay tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, izay manana nofo tahaka ny nofom-boriky, ary ny avy aminy dia toy ny avy amin’ ny soavaly.
21 So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
Nitady ny fijangajangan’ ny fahatanoranao ianao, dia ilay nitsapatsapan’ ny Egyptiana ny nononao, satria nonon’ ny fahavirijinanao ireo.
22 “[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
Koa izao, ry Oholiba, no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hotairiko hamely anao ireny lehilahinao, izay efa niombotan’ ny fanahinao, ka ho entiko avy amin’ ny tany manodidina izy mba hamely anao,
23 soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
dia ireny zanakalahin’ i Babylona mbamin’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, mpanapaka sy manan-jo sy andriandahy, ary ny Asyriana rehetra koa miaraka aminy; tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, zanak’ andriana sy olom-boafidy, sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly avokoa izy rehetra.
24 Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
Ary ho avy izy mitondra fiadiana sy kalesy sy kodia mbamin’ ny firenena betsaka hamely anao, izay hanisy ampinga lehibe sy ampinga kely sy fiarovan-doha manodidina hamelezana anao, ary hatolotro azy ny fitsarana, ka hitsara anao araka ny fitsarany izy.
25 Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
Ary ho entiko hamely anao ny fahasaro-piaroko, ka hamely anao amin’ ny fahatezerana ireny: hesoriny ny oronao sy ny sofinao, ary izay sisa aminao dia ho lavon’ ny sabatra, ka ho lasan-ko babony ny zanakalahinao sy ny zanakavavinao, ary izay sisa aminao holevonin’ ny afo.
26 They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
Ary hendahany ny lambanao, sady hesoriny aminao ny firavakao soa.
27 In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
Ary hatsahatro ny fahavetavetanao, dia ny fijangajanganao izay fanaonao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta, fa tsy ihandrandrainao aminy intsony ny masonao, sady tsy; hotsarovanao intsony Egypta.
28 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tànan’ izay halanao ianao, dia eo an-tanan’ izay efa niombotan’ ny fanahinao;
29 They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
ary hamely anao amin’ ny fankahalana izy, ka hesoriny ny vokatry ny asanao, dia hilaozany mitanjaka sy mihanjahanja ianao, ary hiseho ny fitanjahan’ ny fijangajanganao, dia ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao.
30 It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
Havo aminao izany zavatra izany noho ny nijangajanganao nanaraka ny jentilisa sy noho ny nandotoanao tena tamin’ ny sampiny.
31 You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
Tamin’ ny nalehan’ ny rahavavinao no nalehanao koa, ka dia hataoko eo an-tananao ny kapoakany.
32 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Amin’ ny kapoaky ny rahavavinao no hisotroanao, dia ilay lalina àty sady lehibe; ho fihomehezana sy ho fanakorana tsy tanty ianao.
33 When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
Ho feno fahamamoana sy alahelo ianao; kapoaka fahatalanjonana sy fandringanana ny kapoak’ i Samaria rahavavinao.
34 You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Hosotroinao sy hotrohinao izy, ary hokikisanao ny vakivakiny sady handriatanao ny nononao; fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
35 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nanadinoanao Ahy sy ny nanarianao Ahy teo ivohonao, dia mba zakaonao kosa ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao.
36 Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
Jehovah niteny tamiko hoe: Ry zanak’ olona, tsy hotsarainao va Ohola sy Oholiba? Dia asehoy azy ny fahavetavetany,
37 [It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
fa efa nijangajanga izy, sady misy rà eny an-tànany, eny, ny sampiny no nijangajangany, ary ny zananilahy naterany ho Ahy dia nampamakiny ny afo ho an’ ireny mba ho levona.
38 They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Nandoto ny fitoerako masìna izy tamin’ izany andro izany sady nandoto ny Sabatako koa.
39 On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
Ary nony efa novonoiny ho an’ ny sampiny ny zanany, dia nidirany tamin’ iny andro iny ihany ny fitoerako masìna ka nolotoiny; koa, he! izany no nataony teo anatin’ ny tranoko.
40 They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
Ary koa, naniraka ho any amin’ ny olona avy lavitra ianao; eny, nanirahanao ireo, ka, indreo, tonga izay efa nandroanao sy nanosoranao loko mainty ny masonao sy niravahanao.
41 They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
ary nipetrahanao tamin’ ny farafara marevaka, sady nisy latabatra voavelatra teo anoloany, izay nametrahanao ny ditin-kazo manitro sy ny diloiloko.
42 Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
Ary teo aminy nisy ny feon’ ny maro izay mipetraka tsy manana ahiahy, ary afa-tsy ny ankabiazam-bahoaka dia nisy mpiboboka nentina avy tany an-efitra; ary nasian’ ireo haba teny an-tànan’ izy mirahavavy sy satro-boninahitra tsara tarehy teny an-dohany.
43 Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
Dia hoy Izaho ny amin’ ilay efa tontan’ ny fijangajangana ela: Amin’ izao dia mbola hisy hijangajanga amin’ io ihany va?
44 So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
Eny, mbola nankao aminy ihany ny olona toy ny ankanesany ao amin’ ny vehivavy janga, dia toy ny efa nankanesany tao amin’ i Ohola sy Oholiba, vehivavy janga.
45 But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
Ary olona marina no hitsara azy araka izay fitsara vehivavy mijangajanga sy mandatsa-drà, satria mijangajanga izy, sady misy rà eny an-tànany.
46 So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ho entiko hamely azy ny olona maro, ka natolotro ho mpanjenjena sy ho babo izy.
47 The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
Ary ireo olona maro ireo dia hitora-bato azy sy hitetitetika azy amin’ ny sabatra; hovonoiny ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy, ary hodorany amin’ ny afo koa ny tranony.
48 In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
Toy izany no hampitsaharako ny fahavetavetana amin’ ny tany, mba hahazo anatra ny vehivavy rehetra tsy hanao araka ny fahavetavetanareo.
49 [people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Ary hatsingeriny aminareo ny fahavetavetanareo, ary ho entinareo ny heloka noho ny sampinareo; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.
