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 a spirit bore me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh eastward: and behold, there were at the entrance of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Yaazanyah the son of 'Azzur, and Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu, 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,

Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise wickedness, and give evil counsel in this city;

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

Who say, [The evil] is not near; so let us build houses: this [city] is the pot, and we are the flesh.

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

Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O 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 unto me, Speak, Thus hath said the Lord, Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and whatever cometh into your mind, do I know full well.

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

Ye have multiplied those slain by you in this city, and ye have filled its streets 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Those slain by you whom ye have struck down in the midst of it, —they are the flesh, and this place is the pot; but you are to be removed out of the midst of it.

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

The sword have ye feared: and the sword will I bring over you, saith the Lord Eternal.

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

And I will remove you out of the midst of it, and I will give you up into the hand of strangers, and will execute punishments among 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.

By the sword shall ye fall; on the boundary of Israel will I judge you: and ye 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 place shall not be unto you as a pot, so that you should be as flesh in the midst of it; but on the boundary of Israel will I judge you.

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 ye shall know that I am the Lord: because in my statutes have ye not walked, and my ordinances have ye not executed; but ye have done after the ordinances 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, as I was prophesying, that Pelatyahu the son of Benayah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

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

Then came the word of the Lord unto 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, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and the whole house of Israel altogether, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Remain you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given for a possession.

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 say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries: yet will I be to them as a minor 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 say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will both gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries whether ye have been 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 come thither, and they shall remove all its detestable things, and all its abominations out of it.

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 single heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their body, and I will give unto 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.

In order that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will indeed be unto them for a 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 those whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, their way do I bring upon their own head, saith the Lord Eternal.

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

Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels at the same time with them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

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 ascended from the midst of the city, and halted upon the mount which 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.

But a spirit bore me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to those in exile, in the appearance through the spirit of God: and then ascended away from me the appearance which I had seen.

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

Then did I speak unto those in exile all the things that the Lord had shown me.
