Ezekiela 12

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

The word of the LORD also 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, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house.

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.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will consider, though they [are] a rebellious house.

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 bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

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

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

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.

In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee [for] a sign to 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 was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bore [it] upon [my] shoulder in their sight.

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

And in the morning came the word of the LORD 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, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to 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 to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that [are] among 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 sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall remove [and] go into captivity.

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 twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, 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.

My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans, yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

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 I will scatter towards every wind all that [are] about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the 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 shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall 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 a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

17 Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

Moreover 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, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with solicitude.

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, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with solicitude, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them 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 waste, and the land shall be 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 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] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

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.

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

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

For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering 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 will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

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, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of the times [that are] distant.

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 to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
