Ezekiela 11

1 Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy koa, dia nitondra ahy ho eo amin’ ny vavahady atsinanana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia ilay manatrika ny atsinanana; ary, indreo, nisy olona dimy amby roa-polo lahy teo anoloan’ ny vavahady; dia hitako teo amin’ ireo Jazania, zanak’ i Azora, sy Pelatia, zanak’ i Benaia, lehiben’ ny vahoaka.

And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.

2 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ireo no lehilahy izay mamoron-tsain-dratsy sady manolo-tsain-dratsy eto amin’ ity tanàna ity,

And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,

3 dia izay manao hoe: Mbola lavitra ny hanaovana trano; ity tanàna ity no vilany, ary isika no hena;

Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.

4 ka dia maminania hamely azy, eny, maminania, ry zanak’ olona.

Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.

5 Ary tonga tao amiko ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ka hoy Izy tamiko: Lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Izany no fiteninareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely, ary fantatro izay rehetra ao an-tsainareo.

And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.

6 Hianareo efa nahamaro ny voavononareo teto amin’ ity tanàna ity, ary ny lalambeny efa nofenoinareo faty.

You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

7 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ny voavononareo, izay nataonareo tao aminy, no hena, ary ity tanàna ity no vilany; nefa havoaka avy ao aminy ianareo.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.

8 Natahotra ny sabatra ianareo; nefa hataoko mahatratra anareo ihany ny sabatra, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God.

9 Ary havoakako avy ato aminy ianareo ka hatolotro ho eny an-tànan’ ny hafa firenena, ary hanao fitsarana aminareo Aho.

And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you.

10 Ho lavon’ ny sabatra ianareo; any amin’ ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely no hitsarako anareo, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

11 Ity tanàna ity tsy ho vilaninareo, ary ianareo tsy ho hena ato anatiny; fa any amin’ ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely no hitsarako anareo

This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.

12 ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah, satria tsy nandeha araka ny lalàko ianareo na nanaraka ny fitsipiko, fa araka ny fitsipiky ny jentilisa izay manodidina anareo ihany no nataonareo.

And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that; are round about you.

13 Ary raha mbola naminany aho, dia maty Pelatia, zanak’ i Benaia. Dia niankohoka aho ka nitaraina tamin’ ny feo mahery nanao hoe: Indrisy! Jehovah Tompo ô, holevoninao va ny hany sisa amin’ ny Isiraely?

And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel?

14 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

15 Ry zanak’ olona, ny rahalahinao, eny, ny rahalahinao no andraikitrao, dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra, izay nitenenan’ ny mponina any Jerosalema hoe: Manalavira an’ i Jehovah; izahay no nomena ity tany ity ho lova.

Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get ye far from the Lord, the land is given in possession to us.

16 Koa lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Na dia nampandehaniko lavitra any amin’ ny jentilisa aza izy ka naeliko tany amin’ ny tany maro, dia ho fitoerana masìna ho azy vetivety Aho any amin’ ny tany izay alehany.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.

17 Koa lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Hovoriko avy any amin’ ny firenena ianareo, ary hangoniko avy any amin’ ny tany izay nampielezana anareo, ka homeko ny tanin’ ny Isiraely ianareo.

Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18 Ary ho tonga ao izy ka hanaisotra ny zava-dratsiny rehetra sy ny fahavetavetany rehetra.

And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19 Dia homeko fo iray izy, ary hasiako fanahy vaovao ao anatinareo; ary hesoriko amin’ ny nofony ny fo vato, ka homeko fo nofo izy,

And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:

20 mba handehanany araka ny didiko sy hitandremany ny fitsipiko ka hanarahany izany, ary izy dia ho oloko, ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny.

That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God.

21 Fa ny amin’ izay manana fo manina ny zava-dratsiny sy ny fahavetavetany, dia hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ihany ny nataony, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God.

22 Dia nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany sy ny kodia teo anilany; ary ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no teo amboniny.

And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

23 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah niakatra niala tao amin’ ny tanàna ka nijanona teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra atsinanan’ ny tanàna.

And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount that is on the east side of the city.

24 Dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy tamin’ ny fahitana, dia tamin’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka nitondra ahy ho any Kaldea ho any amin’ ny babo. Dia niakatra niala tamiko ny fahitana izay efa hitako.

And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me.

25 Ary nolazaiko tamin’ ny babo ny teny rehetra izay nasehon’ i Jehovah ahy.

And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me.
