Ezekiela 12
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, ianao monina eto amin’ ny taranaka maditra, izay mana-maso hahitana, nefa tsy mahita, ary manan-tsofina handrenesana, nefa tsy mandre fa taranaka maditra izy.
Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.
3 Koa ianao, ry zanak’ olona, mifeheza entana handeha hifindra ho any amin’ ny fahababoana, ka miaingà antoandro eo imasony; ary mialà eo imasony eo amin’ izay itoeranao ho any amin’ ny fitoerana hafa; angamba mba ho fantany fa taranaka maditra izy.
And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.
4 Dia havoakanao antoandro eo imasony ny entanao, toy ny entan’ ny olona handeha ho any amin’ ny fahababoana; fa ny tenanao kosa dia hivoaka hariva eo imasony toy ny fivoaky ny handeha ho any amin’ ny fahababoana.
By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.
5 Boroboahy eo imasony ny manda, ka ao no amoahy ny entanao.
Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.
6 Ataovy an-tsoroka eo imasony no fitondranao azy, ka ento mivoaka, rehefa maizina dia maizina ny andro; sarony ny tavanao mba tsy hahitanao ny tany; fa efa nataoko ho famantarana mahagaga ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ianao.
And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children of Israel.
7 Dia nanao araka izay efa nandidiana ahy aho, ka nentiko nivoaka antoandro ny entako, toy py entan’ ny olona handeha ho any amin’ ny fahababoana, ary nony hariva dia noboroboahako tamin’ ny tanako ny manda, ka nony efa maizina dia maizina ny andro, dia nentiko nivoaka izany ka teny an-tsoroka no nitondrako azy teo imasony.
And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.
8 Ary nony maraina dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 Ry zanak’ olona, moa ny taranak’ Isiraely, izay taranaka maditra, tsy manontany aminao hoe va: Inona izao ataonao izao?
Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?
10 Ambarao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ity faminaniana ny loza ity dia ho amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Jerosalema sy ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra izay ao aminy.
You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.
11 Lazao hoe: Izaho dia famantarana mahagaga ho anareo, koa tahaka izay ataoko no hatao amin’ ireo; hifindra sy ho lasan-ko babo izy.
Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.
12 Ary ny mpanjaka, izay ao aminy dia hitondra ny entany eny an-tsorony nony efa maizina dia maizina ny andro ka hivoaka; hoboroboahan’ ny olona ny manda hamoahana azy; hanarona ny tavany izy mba tsy ho hitan’ ny masony ny tany.
And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.
13 Ary ny fandrika haratoko dia hovelariko aminy, ka ho voan’ ny fandrika izy; dia ho entiko any Babylona any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana izy, ary tsy hahita izany, nefa ho faty any ihany.
And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.
14 Ary izay rehetra manodidina azy, dia ny mpanampy azy sy ny miaramilany rehetra, haeliko ho amin’ ny rivotra rehetra, sady hanatsoaka sabatra ho enti-manenjika azy Aho.
And all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a sword after them.
15 Ary dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha ahahako any amin’ ny jentilisa sy ampieleziko any amin’ ny tany samy hafa izy.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send them in flight among the nations, driving them out through the countries.
16 Nefa hamelako olom-bitsy ihany izy ho sisa tsy ho ringan’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary sy ny areti-mandringana, mba hisy hitantara ny fahavetavetany rehetra any amin’ ny jentilisa izay alehany; ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah.
But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
17 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Ry zanak’ olona, hano amin-korohoro ny haninao, ary sotroy amin-kovitra sy amin’ ahiahy ny ranonao.
Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;
19 Ary lazao amin’ ny vahoaka hoe Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo ny amin’ ny mponina ao Jerosalema, ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely: Amin’ ahiahy no hihinanany ny haniny, ary amim-pahatalanjonana no hisotroany ny ranony, mba ho foana mihitsy ny tany, ka tsy hisy na inona na inona ao, noho ny fandozan’ izay rehetra monina ao aminy.
And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.
20 Dia ho rava ny tanàna onenana, ary ho lao ny tany; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
21 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
22 Ry zanak’ olona, ahoana moa, izao fitenenana ataonareo ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely izao hoe: Mihaela ny andro, ary tonga tsinontsinona ny fahitana rehetra?
Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?
23 Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Hatsahatro izany fitenenana izany ka tsy hatao fiteny ao amin’ ny Isiraely intsony; fa lazao aminy kosa hoe: Akaiky ny andro sy ny tenin’ ny fahitana rehetra.
For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.
24 Fa tsy hisy fahitana foana intsony na faminaniana mandrobo ao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.
25 Fa Izaho no Jehovah; hiteny Aho, ary ny teny lazaiko dia ho tò tokoa; tsy hajanona ela intsony izany; fa ho amin’ ny andronareo, ry taranaka maditra, no hilazako ny teny sy hanatanterahako azy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.
26 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27 Ry zanak’ olona, indro, ny taranak’ Isiraely manao hoe: Mbola ho ela izany fahitana hitany izany, ary ny amin’ ny fotoana mbola lavitra no vinaniny.
Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.
28 Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tsy hisy hajanona ela intsony ny teniko; fa ny teny izay lazaiko dia hotanterahiko, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Say to them then, This is what the Lord has said: Not one of my words will be put off any longer, but what I say I will do, says the Lord.
