Ezekiela 2
1 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, mitsangàna, fa hiteny aminao Aho.
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Ary nisy fanahy tonga tao anatiko, raha niteny tamiko Izy, ka nampitsangana ahy, ary reko Izay niteny tamiko.
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, maniraka anao ho amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely Aho, eny, ho amin’ ireo jentilisa mpiodina, izay efa niodina tamiko; izy sy ny razany dia samy efa nanota tamiko avokoa mandraka androany.
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 Ary ho any amin’ ny zanaka mafy handrina sy madi-po no anirahako anao, ary ianao hanao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo.
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 Ary na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino (fa taranaka maditra izy), dia ho fantany fa efa nisy mpaminany teo aminy.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, aza matahotra azy, ary aza matahotra ny teniny, na dia voakasiky ny amiana sy ny tsilo aza ianao, ary na dia eo amin’ ny maingoka aza no ipetrahanao; eny, aza matahotra ny fiteniny, ary aza mivadi-po noho ny tarehiny, fa taranaka maditra izy.
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Ary holazainao aminy ihany ny amiko, na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino, fa tena naditra izy.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8 Fa ianao kosa, ry zanak’ olona, mihainoa izay lazaiko aminao; aza maditra tahaka izany taranaka maditra izany ianao; akafy ny vavanao, ka hano izay afahako anao.
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9 Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy tanana nahinjitra tamiko, ary, indro, nisy horonan-taratasy ny aminy.
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10 Dia novelariny teo anatrehako izany, ary nisy soratra teo anatiny sy teo ivoany; ary fitomaniana sy fidradradradrana loza no voasoratra teo.
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
