Ezekiela 22
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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,
Thou therefore son of man, Wilt thou judge wilt thou judge the city of bloodshed; and cause her to know all her abominations?
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.
Thou shalt say then Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, A city shedding blood in her own midst That her time might come, Therefore hath she been making manufactured gods for herself, to be defiled.
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,
Because of the blood which thou hast shed, hast thou become guilty. And with the manufactured gods which thou hast made, hast thou defiled thyself, Thus hast thou brought near thy days, And hast come unto thy years, — For this cause, have I delivered thee As a reproach to the nations, And as a derision to all the lands.
5 ka na ny akaiky anao na ny lavitra anao dia samy hanakora anao voaloto anarana sy be tabataba.
They who are near and they who are far off from thee shall shew themselves derisive over thee, — O thou of impure name, abounding in confusion!
6 Indreo ny lehiben’ ny Isiraely efa samy ao aminao araka ny heriny avy mba handatsa-drà.
Lo! the princes of Israel, every man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding 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.
Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, — The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee:
8 Hamavoinao ny zavatra masìna, ary lotoinao ny Sabatako.
My holy things, hast thou despised, - And my sabbaths, hast thou profaned:
9 Ao aminao misy olona mandehandeha manaratsy mba handatsa-drà; ary ao aminao misy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra; ao aminao misy manao fahavetavetana.
Slanders, have arisen in thee For the sake of shedding blood, - And unto the mountains, have they eaten in thee, Lewdness, have they practised in the midst of thee:
10 Ao aminao misy mandry amin-drainy; ao aminao misy misavika izay mararin’ ny fadim-bolana.
A father’s shame hath been uncovered in thee, Her that was unclean in her removal, have they humbled in thee;
11 Misy manao fahavetavetana amin’ ny vadin’ ny namany; misy manao fahavetavetana mandoto ny vinantovaviny; ary misy misavika ny anabaviny zanakavavin-drainy.
And, one man, with the wife of his neighbour, hath wrought abomination, And another, hath defiled, his daughter-in-law, by shameful deed, — And another, his own sister daughter of his own father, hath humbled in thee:
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.
Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood, -Interest and increase, hast thou accepted And thou hast overreached thy neighbour by oppression, And me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
13 Koa, indro, manjera tanana Aho noho ny harena azonao tamin’ ny tsy marina sy ny latsa-drà tao aminao.
Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made— And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
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 days when I am dealing with thee? I. Yahweh have spoken and will perform.
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.
Therefore will I disperse thee among the nations, And scatter thee throughout the lands, — And will cause to cease 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.
So shalt thou be profaned in thyself, before the eyes of nations, Thus shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
17 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah anao hoe:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 hath become to me, dross, — They all are copper and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, The dross of silver, have they become.
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 My Lord Yahweh, Because ye all are become dross, Therefore, behold me! gathering 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 they gather silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow upon it the fire to melt it, So, will I gather in mine anger and in mine indignation, and will let be and will 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 together, 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 he midst of a furnace, So, shall ye be melted in the midst thereof, — Then shall ye know that, I Yahweh, have poured out mine indignation upon you.
23 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 to be rained upon, nor to receive fruitful showers, 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.
Because her princes in her midst are like a roaring lion rending prey, — Life, have they devoured Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.
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 have done violence to my law And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern, - And from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst.
27 Toy ny amboadia mamiravira haza ny lehibeny ao aminy ka mandatsa-drà sy mahafaty aina ary mahazo harena amin’ ny tsy marina.
Her rulers within her have been like wolves, rending prey, - In shedding blood In destroying lives, For the sake of getting dishonest 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.
And her prophets have coated it for them with whitewash, Seeing visions of falsehood And divining for them lies, Saying, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh, 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 have exacted oppression, and seized plunder, - Even the afflicted and the needy, have they maltreated, And the sojourner have they oppressed without 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;
Then sought I from among them, a man Who could build up a wall And stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land So that I might not destroy her, — 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 have I poured out upon them mine indignation, In the fire of mine outburst, have I consumed them, — Their way, upon their own head, have I placed Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
