Ezekiela 16

1 Tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Ry zanak’ olona, ampahafantaro an’ i Jerosalema ny fahavetavetany,

“Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations

3 ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ i Jerosalema: Ny tany Kanana no nahaterahanao sy nahabe anao; Amorita no rainao, ary Hetita no reninao.

and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 Ary ny amin’ ny nahaterahanao, dia tsy voatapaka akory ny tadim-poitrao tamin’ ny andro nahaterahanao, ary tsy voampandro tamin’ ny rano ianao, na voahosotra sira, na voahodidina lamban-jaza akory.

On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.

5 Tsy nisy maso niantra anao hanao izany aminao, na dia iray akory amin’ ireo zavatra ireo aza, mba hamindra fo aminao; fa nariana tany an-tsaha ianao, satria natao ho zava-maharikoriko ianao tamin’ ny andro nahaterahanao.

No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.

6 Ary raha nandalo Aho ka nahita anao nihosinkosina teo amin’ ny rànao, dia hoy Izaho taminao, raha mbola tamin’ ny rànao ianao: Ho velona anie ianao; eny, hoy Izaho taminao, raha mbola tamin’ ny rànao ianao: Ho velona anie ianao.

Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’

7 Efa nataoko alinalina, toy ny zava-maniry any an-tsaha, ny isanao, ka nitombo sy nihalehibe ary tonga tsara tarehy tokoa ianao; naniry nono ianao sady naniry volo, nefa mbola nitanjaka sy nihanjahanja ihany

I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 Ary raha nandalo Aho ka nijery anao, dia hitako fa izay no fotoanao, dia ny fotoam-pitiavana: ary narakotro anao ny lambako, ka nosaronako ny fitanjahanao; eny, nianiana taminao Aho ka nanao fanekena taminao, hoy Jehovah Tompo, ka dia efa Ahy ianao.

Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.

9 Dia nampandroiko rano ianao, eny, nosasako tsara ho afaka tamin’ ny rànao, dia nohosorako diloilo.

Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.

10 Notafiako lamba misoratsoratra koa ianao sy nokiraroako hoditakasy, ary nampisikiniko rongony fotsy madinika sy notafiako amparasily.

I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 Noravahako firavaka koa ianao, ka nasiako haba ny tananao ary rojo ny vozonao

I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.

12 Ary nasiako kavina ny oronao sy ny sofinao ary satro-boninahitra tsara tarehy ny lohanao,

I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

13 ka dia niravaka volamena sy volafotsy ianao, ary rongony fotsy madinika sy amparasily ary lamba misoratsoratra ny fitafianao; koba tsara toto sy tantely ary diloilo no fihinanao; ary efa nihatsara tarehy dia nihatsara tarehy ianao sady nambinina ho miendrik’ andriana

So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.

14 Ary dia niely tany amin’ ny jentilisa aza ny lazanao noho ny hatsaran-tarehinao; fa tanteraka izany noho ny voninahitro izay nataoko taminao, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.

15 kanjo natoky ny hatsaran-tarehinao ianao ka nijangajanga noho ny lazanao sady nanaram-po nijangajanga tamin’ ny mpandalo rehetra, ka nafoy ho azy izany

But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.

16 Ary nangalanao ny fitafianao, dia nanaovanao fitoerana avo ho anao ka noravahanao sora-damba, ka nijangajanga teo aminy ianao; dia zavatra izay tsy tokony hiseho na hisy akory.

You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!

17 Ary nalainao koa ny firavakao tamin’ ny volamenako sy ny volafotsiko, izay nomeko anao, dia nataonao sarin-dehilahy ho anao ka nijangajanganao;

You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.

18 nalainao koa ny fitafianao misoratsoratra ka natatinao ireo; ary ny diloiloko sy ny ditin-kazo manitro dia napetrakao teo anoloany

You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.

19 Ary ny haniko izay nomeko anao koa, dia ny koba tsara toto sy ny diloilo ary ny tantely, izay nafahako anao, dia napetrakao teo anoloan’ ireo ho hanitra ankasitrahana; teo tokoa izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.

20 Ary nentinao ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, izay naterakao ho Ahy, dia novonoinao ho fanatitra ho an’ ireo mba hohanina. Moa zavatra kely va izany fijangajanganao izany?

You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?

21 Ary novonoinao ny zanakao, fa natolotrao ka nampandehaninao namaky ny afo ho an’ ireo.

You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.

22 Ary tamin’ ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao rehetra dia tsy nahatsiaro ny andro fahakelezanao ianao, fony ianao nitanjaka sy nihanjahanja sady nihosinkosina teo amin’ ny rànao.

And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.

23 Ary rehefa vitanao izany faharatsianao rehetra izany (lozanao! lozanao! hoy Jehovah Tompo),

Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,

24 dia nanao trano fijangajangana ho anao ianao sady nanao fitoerana avo ho anao teny an-kalalahana rehetra teny.

you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.

25 Ary teny an-tsampanan-dalana rehetra no nanaovanao ny fitoerana avonao, ary novetavetainao ny hatsaran-tarehinao, ka nabahanao ho amin’ ny mpandalo rehetra ny tongotrao, ary nampitomboinao ny fijangajanganao.

At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.

26 Hianao efa nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanak’ i Egypta be nofo izay mifanila fonenana aminao; ary nampitomboinao ny fijangajanganao ka nampahatezitra Ahy.

You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.

27 Ary, indro, nahinjitro taminao ny tanako, ka nahenako ny anjara-haninao, ary natolotro ho amin’ ny sitrapon’ izay mankahala anao ianao, dia ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina, izay menatra noho ny fahavetavetana fanaonao.

Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.

28 Ary nijangajanga tamin’ ny zanak’ i Asyria koa ianao noho ny tsi-fahafaham-ponao; eny, nijangajanga taminy ianao, nefa mbola tsy afa-po ihany.

Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.

29 Ary mbola nampandrosoinao ihany ny fijangajanganao hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny mpandranto. Dia hatrany Kaldea; fa na tia tamin’ izany aza dia mbola tsy afa-po ihany ianao.

So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!

30 Akory ny fahamaimain’ ny fonao! hoy Jehovah Tompo, tamin’ ny nanaovanao ireo rehetra ireo, dia ny fanaon’ ny janga tsivalahara!

How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!

31 Tamin’ ny nanaovanao ny trano fijangajanganao teny an-tsampanan-dalana rehetra sy ny nanaovanao ny fitoerana avonao teny an-kalalahana rehetra dia tsy mba tahaka ny vehivavy janga ianao, satria tsy nahoanao akory izay tangy.

But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

32 Ny vadin’ olona mijangajanga dia maka olon-kafa ho solon’ ny vadiny!

You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!

33 Sy vehivavy janga rehetra dia omen-tangy; fa ianao kosa manangy ireo lehilahinao rehetra sady manome azy fanambatambazana hanatonan’ ny ny manodidina rehetra anao mba hijangajangany aminao.

Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.

34 Ary hafa noho ny amin’ ny vehivavy sasany mihitsy ny fanaonao tamin’ ny fijangajanganao, fa tsy nisy nanaraka anao hijangajanga taminao; eny, satria nanome tangy ianao, fa tsy mba nomena, dia izany indrindra no mahahafa anao

So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!

35 Koa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry kala janga:

Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!

36 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nandanianao volabe sy ny nampisehoana ny fitanjahanao tamin’ ny nijangajanganao tamin’ ireny lehilahinao sy ny sampinao rehetra, izay fahavetavetanao, ary noho ny ran’ ny zanakao izay naterinao ho an’ ireo.

This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,

37 dia, indro, hovoriko ireny lehilahinao rehetra ireny, izay mankamany anao sy izay tianao rehetra mbamin’ ireny rehetra izay halanao koa, eny hovoriko avy amin’ ny manodidina ireny mba hamely anao, ka hampisehoiko aminy ny fitanjahanao, dia hahita ny fitanjahanao rehetra izy;

therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.

38 ary hotsaraiko ianao araka ny fitsara vehivavy mijangajanga sy izay mandatsa-drà, ka halatsako ny rànao noho ny fahatezerana sy ny fahasaro-piaro.

And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.

39 Dia hatolotro ho eny an-tànan’ ireny ianao, ka harodany ny trano fijangajanganao, ary horavany ny fitoerana avonao; dia hendahany koa ny fitafianao, ary hesoriny ny firavakao soa, ka havelany hitanjaka sy hiboridana ianao.

Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

40 Dia hitondra vahoaka maro be hiakatra hamely anao koa izy ka hotorahany vato sady hotetitetehiny amin’ ny sabany ianao.

They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

41 Ary hodorany amin’ ny afo ny tranonao, ka hotanterahiny eo imason’ ny vehivavy maro ny famaliana anao ary hatsahatro tsy hijangajanga ianao ka tsy hanangy intsony.

Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.

42 Toy izany no hialako fo aminao, ary ho afaka ny fahasaro-piaroko aminao, dia hionona Aho ka tsy ho tezitra intsony.

So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.

43 Noho ny tsy nahatsiarovanao ny andro fahakelezanao, fa niempo nanohitra Ahy tamin’ ireo rehetra ireo ianao, dia; indro, ny nataonao ihany no hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohanao, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Ary tsy nanao izany ratsy izany ho fanampin’ ny fahavetavetanao rehetra va ianao?

Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?

44 Indro, ny mpanao ohabolana rehetra dia hamely anao amin’ izao ohabolana izao hoe: Manahaka an-dreniny ihany ny zananivavy.

Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’

45 Hianao dia zanakavavin-dreninao, izay mahafoy ny vadiny aman-janany; ary ianao dia rahavavin’ ireo rahavavinao, izay nahafoy ny vadiny aman-janany; Hetita no reninareo, ary Amorita no rainareo.

You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Samaria no zokinao-vavy, dia izy sy ny zananivavy izay monina eo an-kavianao; ary ny zandrinao vavy, izay monina amin’ ny an-kavananao, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy.

Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.

47 Nefa tsy araka ny alehan’ ireo ihany no nalehanao, ary tsy araka ny fahavetavetan’ ireo ihany no nataonao; fa hoatra ny zavatra kely loatra izany, ka dia nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ireo indray ianao tamin’ ny nalehanao rehetra.

And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.

48 Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, na dia Sodoma rahavavinao sy ny zananivavy aza tsy mba nanao tahaka ny nataonao sy ny zanakao-vavy.

As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.

49 Indro, izao no helok’ i Sodoma rahavavinao: Avonavona sy fahabetsahan-kanina ary fahatokiam-poana no tao aminy sy tao amin’ ny zananivavy, ary tsy mba nitantana ny malahelo sy ny mahantra izy.

Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.

50 Niavonavona izy ka nanao fahavetavetana teo anatrehako; ary nony nahita izany Aho, dia nanaisotra azy.

Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.

51 Ary tsy ampy antsasaky ny fahotanao ny nataon’ i Samaria; fa ianao efa nampitombo ny fahavetavetanao mihoatra noho izy, ary nampiseho ny rahavavinao ho toa marina indray tamin’ ny fahavetave-tanao rehetra izay nataonao.

Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.

52 Hianao koa dia aoka hitondra ny henatrao araka ny efa nitsaranao ny rahavavinao. Noho ny fahotanao izay nahatonga anao ho vetaveta mihoatra noho ireo, ka dia miseho ho toa marina noho ianao izy, eny, menara koa ianao, ka mitondrà ny henatrao noho ny nampisehoanao ny rahavavinao ho toa marina.

So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 Ary hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ireny, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy, ary Samaria sy ny zananivavy mbamin’ izay olonao voababo,

But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.

54 mba hitondranao ny henatrao sy hangaihaizanao noho izay rehetra nataonao amin’ ny hampiononanao azy.

So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.

55 Ary ny rahavavinao, dia Sodoma sy ny zananivavy, dia hody amin’ ny toetrany taloha, ary Samaria sy ny zananivavy dia hody amin’ ny toetrany taloha, ary ianao sy ny zanakaovavy dia hody amin’ ny toetrareo taloha koa.

And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.

56 Nefa tsy mbola mba notononin’ ny vavanao akory ny nanjo an’ i Sodoma rahavavinao tamin’ ny andro niavonavonanao,

Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,

57 fony tsy mbola niseho ny faharatsianao, toy ny tamin’ ny andro nandatsan’ ny zanakavavin’ i Syria sy izay rehetra manodidina azy ary ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina, izay namingavinga anao manodidina.

before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.

58 Ny faharatsianao sy ny fahavetavetanao no ho entinao, hoy Jehovah.

You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.

59 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Araka ny nataonao ihany no hataoko aminao, izay namingavinga ny fianianana ka nivadika ny fanekena.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60 Nefa hotsarovako ny fanekena nataoko taminao, tamin’ ny andro fahakelezanao, ka hanorina fanekena mandrakizay aminao Aho.

But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

61 Dia hotsarovanao ny nalehanao, ka ho menatra ianao, raha mandray ireo rahavavinao, dia ny zokinao sy ny zandrinao; ka homeko ho zanakao-vavy ireo, na dia tsy mba isan’ ilay nanaovako fanekena taminao aza.

Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.

62 Izaho hanorina ny fanekeko aminao, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah,

So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,

63 mba hahatsiarovanao sy hangaihainao ary tsy hiloahanao vava intsony noho ny henatrao, raha mamela ny helokao ny amin’ ny nataonao rehetra Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
