< 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.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of Yahweh's house, facing east, and behold, in the doorway of the gate there were twenty-five men. I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people, among them.
2 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ireo no lehilahy izay mamoron-tsain-dratsy sady manolo-tsain-dratsy eto amin’ ity tanàna ity,
God said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who decide wicked plans in this city.
3 dia izay manao hoe: Mbola lavitra ny hanaovana trano; ity tanàna ity no vilany, ary isika no hena;
They are saying, 'The time to build houses is not now; this city is the pot, and we are the meat.'
4 ka dia maminania hamely azy, eny, maminania, ry zanak’ olona.
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, 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.
Then the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me and he said for me to say: This is what Yahweh says, “That is what you are saying, house of Israel; for I know what goes through your mind.
6 Hianareo efa nahamaro ny voavononareo teto amin’ ity tanàna ity, ary ny lalambeny efa nofenoinareo faty.
You have multiplied the people you have killed in this city and filled its streets with them.
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, the Lord Yahweh says this: The people you have killed, whose bodies you have laid in the midst of Jerusalem, are the meat, and this city is the pot. But you are going to be brought out from the midst of this city.
8 Natahotra ny sabatra ianareo; nefa hataoko mahatratra anareo ihany ny sabatra, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
You have feared the sword, so I am bringing the sword upon you—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
9 Ary havoakako avy ato aminy ianareo ka hatolotro ho eny an-tànan’ ny hafa firenena, ary hanao fitsarana aminareo Aho.
I will bring you out of the midst of the city, and put you into the hands of foreigners, for I will bring judgment against 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 will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel so you will know that I am Yahweh.
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 city will not be your cooking pot, nor will you be the meat within her midst. I will judge you within 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.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh, the one whose statutes you have not walked in and whose decrees you have not carried out. Instead, you have carried out the decrees of the nations that surround 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?
It came about that as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah, died. So I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?”
14 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
The word of Yahweh 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, your brothers! Your brothers! The men of your clan and all the house of Israel! All of them are those of whom it is said by those living in Jerusalem, 'They are far away from Yahweh! This land was given to us as our 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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Though I have removed them far off among the nations, and though I have scattered them among the lands, yet I have been a sanctuary for them for a little while in the lands where they have gone.'
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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you from the lands where you were 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.
Then they will go there and remove every detestable thing and every abomination from that place.
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,
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take out the heart of stone from their flesh and 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.
so that they will walk in my statutes, they will carry out my decrees and do them. Then they will be my people, and I will 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 to those who walk with affection toward their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their conduct on their own heads—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
22 Dia nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany sy ny kodia teo anilany; ary ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no teo amboniny.
The cherubim lifted up their wings and the wheels that were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high up over them.
23 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah niakatra niala tao amin’ ny tanàna ka nijanona teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra atsinanan’ ny tanàna.
Then the glory of Yahweh went up from within the midst of the city and stood on the mountain to the east 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.
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into Chaldea, to the exiles, in the vision from the Spirit of God, and the vision that I had seen went up from upon me.
25 Ary nolazaiko tamin’ ny babo ny teny rehetra izay nasehon’ i Jehovah ahy.
Then I declared to the exiles all the things of Yahweh that I had seen.
