Ezekiela 21
1 Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, 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.
Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy 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: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee 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 the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its 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.
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, midridridridria toy ny tapa-balahana, eny, midridridridria amin’ ny fangidiana eo imasony.
Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
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 it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
8 Dia tonga tamiko ay tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Ry zanak’ olona, maminania, ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Injao! sabatra! sabatra re! Voaranitra sady voafotsy koa.
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished:
10 Voaranitra hahafaty be izy; Voafotsy hanelatselatra izy (Sa isika hifaly hoe: Ny tsorakazon’ ny zanako mamingavinga ny hazo rehetra?)
it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree.
11 Ary nomena hofotsiana izy Mba horaisin-tanana; Voaranitra io sabatra io sady voafotsy, Mba hatolotra eo an-tanan’ ny mpamono.
And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the 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 howl, son of man: for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people: smite therefore upon 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 there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth 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, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their 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 have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
16 Miomana, ka mandrosoa eo ankavanana ianao, mijoroa, ka mandrosoa eo an-kavia, amin’ izay voatendry hamelezanao na aiza na aiza.
Gather thee together, go to the right; set thyself in array, go to the left; whithersoever thy face is set.
17 Hiteha-tanana koa Aho ary hiala fo; Izaho Jehovah no nilaza izany.
I will also smite mine hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I the LORD have spoken it.
18 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
The word of the LORD came unto me again, 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 son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20 Manaova lalana hihavian’ ny sabatra ho any Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy ho any ny Joda ao Jerosalema mimanda.
Thou shalt appoint a way, for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
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.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
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.
In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounts, to build forts.
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 shall be unto them as a vain divination in their sight, which have sworn oaths unto them: but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may 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 saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because 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, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
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: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown: this [shall be] no more the same: exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
27 Havadiko, havadiko, havadiko izany; fa izany koa aza dia tsy mba haharitra mandra-pahatongan’ izay tena tompony tokoa, ka homeko azy izany.
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give 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, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning:
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 vanity unto thee, whiles they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 Ampidiro amin’ ny tranony izy. Any amin’ ny tany namoronana anao, dia any amin’ ny tany nahaterahanao, no hitsarako anao.
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee.
31 Ary haidiko aminao ny fahavinirako, ny afon’ ny fahatezerako no hotsofiko aminao, ka hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny olona ketrina.
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath: and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful 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 be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
