Ezekiela 22
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Ry zanak’ olona, moa tsy hitsara va ianao? Tsy hitsara ny tanana mpandatsa-drà va ianao? Ampahafantaro azy ary ny fahavetavetany rehetra,
Punish, punish, son of man, the city of blood, and show her all her abominations, and say,
3 ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tanàna mpandatsa-drà ao ampovoany hahatonga ny fotoany sady manao sampy ao aminy hahaloto azy.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and makest idols to defile thyself!
4 Ny rà izay nalatsakao no nahameloka anao, ary ny sampy izay nataonao no nahaloto anao; ary efa nampanakaiky ny andronao ianao ka efa tonga amin’ ny taonanao, koa izany no nanaovako anao ho fandatsan’ ny jentilisa sy ho fanakoran’ ny tany rehetra,
Through the blood which thou sheddest thou bringest guilt upon thyself, and through the idols which thou makest thou pollutest thyself, and thou causest thy days to draw near, and comest to thy years. Therefore do I make thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all countries.
5 ka na ny akaiky anao na ny lavitra anao dia samy hanakora anao voaloto anarana sy be tabataba.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee as infamous, full of confusion.
6 Indreo ny lehiben’ ny Isiraely efa samy ao aminao araka ny heriny avy mba handatsa-drà.
Behold the princes of Israel are engaged every one according to his strength within thee to shed blood.
7 Ao aminao no anozonana ray aman-dreny; ary ao aminao no anaovana izay sarotra amin’ ny vahiny; ary ao aminao no ampahoriana ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena.
In thee they set light by father and mother; in thee are they guilty of oppression to the stranger; in thee do they oppress the fatherless and the widow.
8 Hamavoinao ny zavatra masìna, ary lotoinao ny Sabatako.
Thou hast despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 Ao aminao misy olona mandehandeha manaratsy mba handatsa-drà; ary ao aminao misy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra; ao aminao misy manao fahavetavetana.
In thee are men who carry tales, that they may shed blood; in thee do they eat upon the mountains; in the midst of thee do they commit lewdness.
10 Ao aminao misy mandry amin-drainy; ao aminao misy misavika izay mararin’ ny fadim-bolana.
In thee doth the son uncover the father's nakedness; in thee do they lie with a woman in her uncleanness.
11 Misy manao fahavetavetana amin’ ny vadin’ ny namany; misy manao fahavetavetana mandoto ny vinantovaviny; ary misy misavika ny anabaviny zanakavavin-drainy.
And one committeth abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another, with incestuous lewdness, defileth his daughter-in-law; and in thee another lieth with his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Ao aminao misy mandray kolikoly handatsa-drà; maka zana-bola sy tombony ianao sady manao an-keriny mandroba ny an’ ny namanao ka manadino Ahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
In thee do they take a reward to shed blood. Thou takest usury and increase, and thou hast enriched thyself from thy neighbor by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
13 Koa, indro, manjera tanana Aho noho ny harena azonao tamin’ ny tsy marina sy ny latsa-drà tao aminao.
Therefore, behold, I have smitten my hands together at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at the blood which hath been shed in the midst of thee.
14 Hahatoha va ny fonao, na hahazaka va ny tananao, amin’ ny andro izay hisehoaka aminao? Izaho Jehovah no nilaza sady hahatanteraka izany.
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the day when I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Ary haeliko ho any amin’ ny jentilisa sy hahahako ho any amin’ ny tany samy hafa ianao, ary holevoniko ho afaka aminao mihitsy ny fahalotoanao.
I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thine impurity out of thee;
16 Ary dia ho hitan’ ny jentilisa fa ny nataonao ihany no nahaloto anao; ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
and thou shalt through thyself be profaned before the eyes of the nations, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
17 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah anao hoe:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 Ry zanak’ olona, ny taranak’ Isiraely dia efa tonga tain-drendrika amiko; izy rehetra dia varahina sy vifotsy sy vy ary firaka ao anatin’ ny memy; eny, efa tonga taim-bolafotsy izy.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me; all of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nahatongavanareo rehetra ho tain-drendrika, dia, indro, hangoniko ho ao Jerosalema ianareo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all of you become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 Toy ny anangonana volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy firaka ary vifotsy ho ao anatin’ ny memy ka misy mifofotra azy amin’ ny afo ho rendrika, dia toy izany no hanangonako anareo amin’ ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako, ary hataoko ao ianareo ka ho voarendrika;
As men gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will place you there and melt you.
21 eny, nangoniko ianareo, dia hifofotra anareo amin’ ny afon’ ny fahatezerako Aho, ka ho voarendrika ao anatiny ianareo.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Toy ny andrendrika volafotsy ao anatin’ ny memy no handrendrehana anareo ao anatiny; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho Jehovah no nampidina ny fahatezerako aminareo.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my fury upon you.
23 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 Ry zanak’ olona, lazao aminy hoe: Hianao no tany tsy hazavain’ ny hainandro sady tsy ilatsahan’ ny ranonorana amin’ ny andro fahatezerana.
Son of man, say to her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 Mikomy ny mpaminany ao aminy; tahaka ny liona mierona mamiravira haza izy; mihinana olona izy sady mahalasa ny harena sy ny zava-tsoa ary mahamaro ny mpitondratena ao aminy.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her; like a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour the lives of men; they take possession of treasures, and precious things, and make many widows in the midst of her.
26 Ny mpisorona dia mandika ny lalàko sy mandoto ny zavatra masìna; tsy manavaka ny masìna sy ny tsy masìna izy, na mampiseho ny tsi-fitovian’ ny maloto sy ny madio, ary mitampi-maso tsy hijery ny Sabatako izy, ary tsiratsiraina ao aminy Aho.
Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and profane, and show not the difference between the clean and the unclean; and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Toy ny amboadia mamiravira haza ny lehibeny ao aminy ka mandatsa-drà sy mahafaty aina ary mahazo harena amin’ ny tsy marina.
Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey. They shed blood, they destroy life, that they may get gain.
28 Ary ny mpaminaniny mandalotra azy amin’ ny feta tsy madity ka mahita zava-poana sy maminany lainga aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo; nefa Jehovah tsy niteny tsinona.
Her prophets daub for them with untempered mortar, seeing falsehood, and divining to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord Jehovah,” when Jehovah hath not spoken.
29 Ny vahoaka manao an-keriny sy mandroba ka mampahory ny malahelo sy ny mahantra; ary ny vahiny dia ampahoriny tsy andrariny.
The people of the land are guilty of oppression, and practise robbery, and distress the poor and needy; yea, they oppress the stranger, and have no justice.
30 Ary nitady olona teo aminy Aho hanao manda sy hijanona eo amin’ ny banga eo anatrehako hifona ho an’ ny tany mba tsy handravako azy, kanjo tsy nahita;
I have sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none.
31 koa dia haidiko eo aminy ny fahatezerako; ny afon’ ny fahatezerako no handaniako azy; ary hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fanaony, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Therefore will I pour out my indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of my wrath; I will bring their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
