Ezekiela 12

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

The word of the Lord came unto 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, in the midst of a rebellious family art thou dwelling, who have eyes to see, and see not; who have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious family.

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.

But thou, O son of man, prepare for thyself vessels for going into exile, and wander away by day before their eyes; and thou shalt wander away from thy place to another place before their eyes: perhaps they may become aware that they are a rebellious family.

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.

Then shalt thou carry forth thy vessels, like vessels of exile, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at evening before their eyes, as they do that go forth into exile.

5 Boroboahy eo imasony ny manda, ka ao no amoahy ny entanao.

Before their eyes break a hole through the wall, and carry [them] 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.

Before their [eyes] shalt thou bear them upon thy shoulders, in the dark shalt thou carry them forth: thy face shalt thou cover, that thou mayest not see the ground; for as a token have I set thee unto the house 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 so as I had been commanded; my vessels I carried forth by day, like vessels of exile, and in the evening I broke a hole for myself through the wall with my hand: in the dark I brought them forth, and I bore them upon my shoulder before their eyes.

8 Ary nony maraina dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And the word of the Lord came unto me in the morning, saying,

9 Ry zanak’ olona, moa ny taranak’ Isiraely, izay taranaka maditra, tsy manontany aminao hoe va: Inona izao ataonao izao?

Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the rebellious family, said unto thee, What doest thou?

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.

Say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, For the prince in Jerusalem is the doom, and for all the house of Israel, [and those] that are in the midst of them.

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 token; just as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: into exile, into captivity, shall they wander.

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 prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; through the wall shall they break a hole to carry [things] through it: his face shall he cover up, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.

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 I will spread out my net over him, and he shall be caught in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon into the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, and there shall he die.

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 that are round about him, those who assist him, and all the wings of his armies will I disperse toward every wind; and the sword will I draw out 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 shall know that I am the Lord, when I scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in 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 I will leave of them men few in number from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence: in order that they may relate all their abominations among the nations whither they shall have come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

17 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And 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, thy bread shalt thou eat with quaking, and thy water shalt thou drink with trembling and with anxious 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 thou shalt say unto the people of the land, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] concerning the land of Israel, Their bread shall they eat with anxious care, and their water shall they drink with confusion, for the cause that her land will be desolate, deprived of its plenteousness because of the violence of all those that dwell therein.

20 Dia ho rava ny tanàna onenana, ary ho lao ny tany; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid in ruins, and the land shall be made desolate: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

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

And the word of the Lord came unto 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 sort of proverb is that which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are lasting long, and lost is every vision?

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.

Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will cause this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but speak unto them, The days are coming nigh, and the word of every vision.

24 Fa tsy hisy fahitana foana intsony na faminaniana mandrobo ao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.

For there shall be no more any false vision and a deceptive divination within the house of 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 do speak, and whatever word I do speak shall be done; it shall not be delayed any more; for in your days, O rebellious family, will I speak the word, and I will execute it, saith the Lord Eternal.

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

And 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, behold, the house of Israel say, The vision that he foreseeth is for distant days, and for times that are far off doth he prophesy.

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.

Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, There shall not be delayed any more one of all my words; but whatever word I do speak shall be done, saith the Lord Eternal.
