Ezekiela 21
1 Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia an’ i Jerosalema, ary mitenena manandrify ny fitoerana masìna, ka maminania ny amin’ ny hamelezana ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie against the land of Israel.
3 Ary ataovy amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho no mamely anao, ary hotsoahako amin’ ny tranony ny sabatro, ka haringako ny marina sy ny meloka eo aminao.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both the righteous and the wicked.
4 Ary noho ny handringanako ny marina sy ny meloka eo aminao, dia izany no hitsoahan’ ny sabatro amin’ ny tranony hamely ny nofo rehetra hatrany atsimo ka hatrany avaratra,
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North,
5 Ka dia ho fantatry ny nofo rehetra fa Izaho Jehovah no nanatsoaka ny sabatro tamin’ ny tranony; Tsy hiditra intsony izy.
That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more.
6 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, midridridridria toy ny tapa-balahana, eny, midridridridria amin’ ny fangidiana eo imasony.
Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.
7 Ary raha izy manao aminao hoe: Nahoana ianao no midridridridry? Dia valio hoe: Noho ny teny efa re, fa ho avy izany, ho kivy ny fo rehetra, hiraviravy ny tanana rehetra, ary hivarahontsana ny fanahy rehetra, sady hanjary ho toy ny rano ny lohalika rehetra. Eny, ho avy izany ka ho tanteraka, hoy Jehovah Tompo;
And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.
8 Dia tonga tamiko ay tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
9 Ry zanak’ olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Injao! sabatra! sabatra re! Voaranitra sady voafotsy koa.
Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.
10 Voaranitra hahafaty be izy; Voafotsy hanelatselatra izy (Sa isika hifaly hoe: Ny tsorakazon’ ny zanako mamingavinga ny hazo rehetra?)
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.
11 Ary nomena hofotsiana izy Mba horaisin-tanana; Voaranitra io sabatra io sady voafotsy, Mba hatolotra eo an-tanan’ ny mpamono.
And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer.
12 Mitomania sy midradradradrà, ry zanak’ olona! Fa mihatra amin’ ny oloko izany, dia amin’ ny lehibe rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely; Lavon’ ny sabatra miaraka amin’ ny oloko izy, koa misafoa sirana ianao;
Cry, and houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh.
13 Fa vita ny fizahan-toetra, Ka manao ahoana, raha ilay tehim-panjakana namingavinga iny aza no ho tonga tsinontsinona? hoy Jehovah Tompo.
For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
14 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia maminania, ka mitehafa tanana, ary aoka hihaloza roa heny, na telo heny aza, ny sabatra, dia ny sabatra izay efa nahatrabaka olona; Eny, ny sabatra izay efa nahatrabaka ny andriana no manemitra azy.
Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.
15 Nahebihebiko teny amin’ ny vavahadiny rehetra ny sabatra, mba hahakivy ny fo sy hahatonga fahatafintohinana maro. Indrisy! nataoko nanelatselatra izy sady voaranitra hamono.
I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
16 Miomana, ka mandrosoa eo ankavanana ianao, mijoroa, ka mandrosoa eo an-kavia, amin’ izay voatendry hamelezanao na aiza na aiza.
Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.
17 Hiteha-tanana koa Aho ary hiala fo; Izaho Jehovah no nilaza izany.
I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.
18 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, saying,
19 Hianao, ry zanak’ olona, manaova lalana roa ho anao hihavian’ ny sabatry ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona; avy amin’ ny tany iray no hihavian’ izy roa; ka manaova sarin’ ny famantaran-dalana, eo an-tsampanan-dalana mankany amin’ ny tanàna no anaovinao azy.
Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.
20 Manaova lalana hihavian’ ny sabatra ho any Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy ho any ny Joda ao Jerosalema mimanda.
Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.
21 Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona mijanona eo amin’ ny sampanan-dalana, dia eo an-dohan’ ny lalana roa, mba hanao sikidy; dia manetsiketsika ny zana-tsipìka izy ary manontany amin’ ny sampy sy mizaha amin’ ny atin-kena.
And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.
22 Mby eo an-tànany ankavanana ny sikidy, dia ny ho an’ i Jerosalema, mba hametraka lohondry vy fandravana, hisoka-bava hiantsoantso, hanandra-peo amin’ ny akoran’ ady, hametraka lohondry vy fandravana eo akaikin’ ny vavahady, hanandratra tovon-tany sy tilikambo.
At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.
23 Nefa tahaka ny sikidy lainga izany eo imason’ ireny izay efa nianiana mafy, nefa Jehovah no mampahatsiaro ny helony mba hisamborana azy.
And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken.
24 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nampahatsiarovanareo ny helokareo tamin’ ny nampiharihariana ny fahadisoanareo mba hampisehoana ny fahotanareo tamin’ izay rehetra nataonareo, noho ny nahatsiarovana anareo dia hosamborin-tanana ianareo.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 Ary ianao, ry ilay ratsy fanahy voatrabaka, dia ilay mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izay tapitra andro amin’ ny fotoan’ ny heloka mahafaty,
And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,
26 izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo Hesorina ny hamama, ary halàna ny satro-boninahitra, tsy ho ao intsony ireo; hasandratra ny iva, ary haetry ny avo.
Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.
27 Havadiko, havadiko, havadiko izany; fa izany koa aza dia tsy mba haharitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay tena tompony tokoa, ka homeko azy izany.
I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him.
28 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, dia maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny latsa ataony, dia ataovy hoe: Indro sabatra! Dia sabatra voatsoaka hamono! Voafotsy handringana sy hanelatselatra izy
And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:
29 (Raha mahita zava-poana ho anao izy sy maminany lainga aminao) Handavoany anao ao amin’ ny vozon’ ny ratsy fanahy voatrabaka, Izay tapitra andro amin’ ny fotoan’ ny heloka mahafaty.
Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.
30 Ampidiro amin’ ny tranony izy. Any amin’ ny tany namoronana anao, dia any amin’ ny tany nahaterahanao, no hitsarako anao.
Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.
31 Ary haidiko aminao ny fahavinirako, ny afon’ ny fahatezerako no hotsofiko aminao, ka hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny olona ketrina.
And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.
32 Sy izay mpamorona fandringanana ianao, Dia ho kitain’ ny afo ianao; Ho eny amin’ ny tany ny rànao; Tsy hotsaroana ianao; Fa Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.
Thou shalt bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
