< Ezekiel 20 >
1 It came about in the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, that elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh and sat 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 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Niheo amako amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
3 “Son of man, declare to the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Have you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not be inquired of by you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
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 Will you judge them? Will you judge, son of man? Let them know about their fathers' abominations.
Te hizaka iareo hao irehe? Ho zakae’o hao, ry ana’ ondaty? Tohino ami’ty haloloan-droae’ iareo:
5 Say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I chose Israel and raised my hand to swear an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I raised my hand to swear an oath to them. I said, “I am Yahweh your God”—
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 on that day I raised my hand to swear an oath to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had carefully selected for them. It was flowing with milk and honey; it was the most beautiful ornament among 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 I said to them, “Let each man throw away the detestable things from before his eyes and the idols of Egypt. Do not make yourselves unclean; I am Yahweh your God.”
le hoe iraho am’ iereo, Fonga ahifiho añe ze hativañe mahasinda fihaino, vaho ko mileotse amo samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
8 But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. Each man did not throw away the detestable things from before his eyes nor forsake the idols of Egypt, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath among them in the middle 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 I acted for my name's sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were staying. I made myself known to them, in their eyes, by bringing them out of 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 So I sent them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
Aa le nakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao vaho nenteko mb’am-patrambey añe;
11 Then I gave them my statutes and made my decrees known to them, by which a man will live if he obeys them.
le nitolorako o fañèkoo vaho nitaroñako o fepèkoo, o mahaveloñe ondaty mañavelo ama’eoo.
12 I also gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between myself and them, for them to know that I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
Nitolorako o Sabatekoo ka ho viloñe añivo’ iareo naho Izaho, haharendreha’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà ro Mpampiavake iareo.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes; instead, they rejected my decrees, by which a man will live if he obeys them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths, so I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness in order to end 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 But I acted for my name's sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out of Egypt.
F’ie nitoloñeko avao tsy ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty añarako, ie am-pahaoniña’ iareo ty nañakarako iareo.
15 So I myself also raised my hand to swear an oath to them in the wilderness not to bring them into the land that I had been going to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey, which was the most beautiful ornament among 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 I swore this because they had rejected my decrees and did not walk in my statutes, and they profaned my Sabbaths, since their hearts walked 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 But my eye spared them from their destruction and I did not annihilate them in the wilderness.
Ie amy hoe zay, niferenaiña’ o masokoo le tsy nizamaneko, vaho tsy nimongoreko am-patrambey añe;
18 I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, or keep their rules, or 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 Yahweh your God, walk in my statutes; keep my decrees and obey them.
Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo. Mañaveloa amo fañèkoo, ambeno o fepèkoo vaho ano;
20 Keep my Sabbaths holy so that they will be a sign between me and you, so that you will know that I am Yahweh your God.”
hamasiño o Sabotsekoo; ie viloñe añivoko naho nahareo, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
21 But their sons and daughters rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes or keep my decrees, by which a man might live if he obeys them. They profaned my Sabbaths, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath 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 But I turned my hand away and acted for my name's sake, so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought out the Israelites.
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 myself also lifted up my hand to swear to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
Toe nizonjoñako sira ka am-patrambey añe nifanta t’ie haparatsiako amo kilakila’ ndatio vaho haboeleko añivo’ o fifeheañeo;
24 I decided to do this since they had not obeyed my decrees, and since they had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths. Their eyes were longing after their fathers' idols.
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 Then I also gave them statutes that were not good, and decrees by which they could not live.
Ie amy zay, tinoloko fañè tsy ho lefe, naho fepè tsy mahaveloñe,
26 I declared them to be unclean through their gifts—they made a sacrifice of every firstborn of the womb and caused them to pass through the fire—that I might fill them with horror so they will know that I am Yahweh!'
le nileorako amo banabana’ iareoo, ie nampirangà’ iareo añ’afo ao ze manoka-koviñe, hampangoakoahako iareo, vaho hahafohiñe te Izaho Iehovà.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: In this also your fathers blasphemed me when they were unfaithful to 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 When I brought them into the land that I had sworn to give them, and then whenever they saw any high hill and leafy tree, they offered their sacrifices, they provoked me by their offerings, and there they also burned their fragrant incense and poured out their drink offerings.
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 Then I said to them, “What is this high place where you bring offerings there?” So the name is called Bamah 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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Why do you make yourselves unclean with the ways of your fathers? So why do you act like prostitutes, searching for disgusting 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 When you offer up your gifts—when you cause your sons to pass through the fire—to this day you defile yourselves with all your idols. So why should I let you seek me, house of Israel? As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will not allow you to seek me.
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 The thought that is forming in your mind will never happen. You say, “Let us be like the other nations, like the clans in the other lands who worship 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—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will certainly reign over you with a mighty hand, a raised arm, and fury that will be poured out on 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 I will bring you out from the other peoples and will gather you out of the countries among whom you have been scattered. I will do this with a mighty hand and with fury poured out.
le hakareko am’ ondatio naho hatontoko boak’ amo fifeheañe nampiparatsiahañe anahareo, an-taña maozatse naho an-tsira natorakitsy vaho am-pifombo nadoañe.
35 Then I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will judge you face to face.
Le haseseko mb’am-patrambei’ ondatio mb’eo, vaho ao ty hizakàko tarehe miatre-daharañe,
36 As I judged your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so also I will judge you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
manahake ty nizakako o roae’ areo am-patram-bei’ i Mitsraimeo, izay ty hañodiako anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
37 I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will make you obey the requirements of the covenant.
Le hampiarieko ambane kobaiñe; naho haseseko mb’ami’ty fifehea’ i fañinay ao;
38 I will purge from among you the rebels and those who revolt against me. I will send them out from the land where they are staying as foreigners, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
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 So to you, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Each of you should go to his own idols. Worship them if you will refuse to listen to me, but you must no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and 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 peak of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—all of the house of Israel will worship me there in the land. I will be pleased to require your offerings there, and also the firstfruits of your tribute 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 I will accept you like fragrant incense when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. I will show myself as holy among you for the nations to see.
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 Then, when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I have lifted up my hand to swear to give to your fathers, you will know that I am Yahweh.
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 There you will call to mind your conduct and all of your deeds by which you defiled yourselves, and you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for all your evil deeds 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 So you will know that I am Yahweh when I do this to you because of my name's sake, and not because of your evil deeds, and not because of your corrupt deeds, house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
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 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
46 “Son of man, set your face toward the southern lands, and speak against the south; prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
O ana’ ondatio, ampiatrefo miañatimo ty lahara’o le mitaroña mañatimo vaho mitokia amy alay naho amy tane atimoy;
47 Say to the forest of the Negev, 'This is Yahweh's declaration—the Lord Yahweh says this: See, I will set a fire among you. It will devour every fresh tree and every dried tree among you. The fiery flame will not be quenched; every face from the south to the north will be burned.
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 Then all flesh will see that I am Yahweh when I light the fire, and it will not be quenched.'”
Le ho oni’ ze hene nofotse te Izaho Iehovà ro namiañe aze; ie le lia’e tsy ho vonoeñe.
49 Then I said, “Alas! Lord Yahweh, they are saying of me, 'Is he not a mere teller of parables?'”
Aa le hoe ty asako, Ry Iehovà Talè! Ty hoe ty asa’ iareo ty amako: Tsy mpandrazan-drehake hao re?
