Ezekiela 23
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Ry zanak’ olona, nisy vehivavy mirahavavy iray tam-po;
“Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,
3 ary nijangajanga tany Egypta izy; fony izy mbola tanora no nijangajanga; tao no nisafosafoana ny tratrany, ary tao no nitsapatsapana ny nonon’ ny fahavirijinany.
and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.
4 Ny anaran’ ny zokiny dia Ohola, ary ny rahavaviny dia Oholiba; ary novadiko izy ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy. Ny amin’ ny anarany: Samaria no Ohola, ary Jerosalema no Oholiba.
Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5 Ary raha mbola vadiko Ohola, dia nijangajanga izy; maimay izy tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, dia ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy,
And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,
6 izay mitafy mangamanga, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.
7 Nijangajanga tamin’ ireny izy, dia tamin’ izay tsara indrindra tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Asyria sy tamin’ izay rehetra nahamaimay azy; tamin’ ny sampiny rehetra no nandotoany tena.
And she distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.
8 Ary ny fijangajangana izay fanaony hatrany Egypta dia tsy foiny; fa fony izy mbola tanora dia nandrian’ ireny, ary ireny no nitsapatsapa ny tratran’ ny fahavirijinany sady nanaram-po nijangajanga taminy.
Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.
9 Ary noho izany dia natolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ireo lehilahiny izy, dia eo an-tànan’ ny Asyriana izay nahamaimay azy.
Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.
10 Ireny no nampiseho ny fitanjahany; ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy dia lasan’ ireny, ary ny tenany novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ka dia tonga ambentinteny tamin’ ny vehivavy izy ary efa niharan’ ny fitsarana.
They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.
11 Ary nony hitan’ i Oholiba rahavaviny izany, dia vao mainka nataony manoatra noho ny azy indray ny fahamaimaizany, ary ny fijangajangany manoatra noho ny an’ ny rahavaviny,
And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication of her sister.
12 Maimay tamin’ ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy izy, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, olona mareva-pitafiana sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly, samy tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra.
She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.
13 Dia hitako fa efa nandoto ny tenany izy, fa lalana iray ihany no nalehan’ izy mirahavavy;
And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.
14 ary mbola nampandrosoiny ihany ny fijangajangany, fa nahita sariolona voasoratra teo amin’ ny rindrina izy sy ny sarin’ ny Kaldeana voasoratra tamin’ ny loko mena.
And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,
15 samy nisy fehin-kibo nifehy teo am-balahany sy hamama voanato nisy rambony teo an-dohany; ny fijery azy rehetra dia toy ny fijery zanak’ andriana, dia tahaka ny zanakalahin’ i Babylona, izay teraka tany amin’ ny tany Kaldea.
with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,
16 Ary raha vao hitan’ ny masony ireny, dia maimay taminy izy ka naniraka olona ho any aminy tany Kaldea.
she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17 Ary tonga tany aminy ho ao amin’ ny fandriam-pitiavana ireny zanakalahin’ i Babylona ka nandoto azy tamin’ ny fijangajangany; ary nony efa voaloton’ ireny izy, dia niombotra niala taminy kosa ny fanahiny.
And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.
18 Ary rehefa naneho ny fijangajangany sy nampiseho ny fitanjahany izy, dia niombotra niala taminy ny fanahiko, toy ny efa niombotan’ ny fanahiko niala tamin’ ny rahavaviny ihany.
Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.
19 Dia nampitombo ny fijangajangany ihany izy, ka dia nahatsiaro ny andro fahatanorany, izay nijangajangany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.
20 Fa izy dia maimay tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, izay manana nofo tahaka ny nofom-boriky, ary ny avy aminy dia toy ny avy amin’ ny soavaly.
And she was mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow of horses.
21 Nitady ny fijangajangan’ ny fahatanoranao ianao, dia ilay nitsapatsapan’ ny Egyptiana ny nononao, satria nonon’ ny fahavirijinanao ireo.
And you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.
22 Koa izao, ry Oholiba, no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hotairiko hamely anao ireny lehilahinao, izay efa niombotan’ ny fanahinao, ka ho entiko avy amin’ ny tany manodidina izy mba hamely anao,
Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:
23 dia ireny zanakalahin’ i Babylona mbamin’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, mpanapaka sy manan-jo sy andriandahy, ary ny Asyriana rehetra koa miaraka aminy; tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, zanak’ andriana sy olom-boafidy, sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly avokoa izy rehetra.
the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.
24 Ary ho avy izy mitondra fiadiana sy kalesy sy kodia mbamin’ ny firenena betsaka hamely anao, izay hanisy ampinga lehibe sy ampinga kely sy fiarovan-doha manodidina hamelezana anao, ary hatolotro azy ny fitsarana, ka hitsara anao araka ny fitsarany izy.
And they will overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.
25 Ary ho entiko hamely anao ny fahasaro-piaroko, ka hamely anao amin’ ny fahatezerana ireny: hesoriny ny oronao sy ny sofinao, ary izay sisa aminao dia ho lavon’ ny sabatra, ka ho lasan-ko babony ny zanakalahinao sy ny zanakavavinao, ary izay sisa aminao holevonin’ ny afo.
And against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.
26 Ary hendahany ny lambanao, sady hesoriny aminao ny firavakao soa.
And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.
27 Ary hatsahatro ny fahavetavetanao, dia ny fijangajanganao izay fanaonao hatrany amin’ ny tany Egypta, fa tsy ihandrandrainao aminy intsony ny masonao, sady tsy; hotsarovanao intsony Egypta.
And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember Egypt.
28 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tànan’ izay halanao ianao, dia eo an-tanan’ izay efa niombotan’ ny fanahinao;
For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.
29 ary hamely anao amin’ ny fankahalana izy, ka hesoriny ny vokatry ny asanao, dia hilaozany mitanjaka sy mihanjahanja ianao, ary hiseho ny fitanjahan’ ny fijangajanganao, dia ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao.
And they will act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.
30 Havo aminao izany zavatra izany noho ny nijangajanganao nanaraka ny jentilisa sy noho ny nandotoanao tena tamin’ ny sampiny.
They have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.
31 Tamin’ ny nalehan’ ny rahavavinao no nalehanao koa, ka dia hataoko eo an-tananao ny kapoakany.
You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.
32 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Amin’ ny kapoaky ny rahavavinao no hisotroanao, dia ilay lalina àty sady lehibe; ho fihomehezana sy ho fanakorana tsy tanty ianao.
Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.
33 Ho feno fahamamoana sy alahelo ianao; kapoaka fahatalanjonana sy fandringanana ny kapoak’ i Samaria rahavavinao.
You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.
34 Hosotroinao sy hotrohinao izy, ary hokikisanao ny vakivakiny sady handriatanao ny nononao; fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
And you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.
35 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nanadinoanao Ahy sy ny nanarianao Ahy teo ivohonao, dia mba zakaonao kosa ny fahavetavetanao sy ny fijangajanganao.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”
36 Jehovah niteny tamiko hoe: Ry zanak’ olona, tsy hotsarainao va Ohola sy Oholiba? Dia asehoy azy ny fahavetavetany,
And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?
37 fa efa nijangajanga izy, sady misy rà eny an-tànany, eny, ny sampiny no nijangajangany, ary ny zananilahy naterany ho Ahy dia nampamakiny ny afo ho an’ ireny mba ho levona.
For they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.
38 Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Nandoto ny fitoerako masìna izy tamin’ izany andro izany sady nandoto ny Sabatako koa.
But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.
39 Ary nony efa novonoiny ho an’ ny sampiny ny zanany, dia nidirany tamin’ iny andro iny ihany ny fitoerako masìna ka nolotoiny; koa, he! izany no nataony teo anatin’ ny tranoko.
And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of my house.
40 Ary koa, naniraka ho any amin’ ny olona avy lavitra ianao; eny, nanirahanao ireo, ka, indreo, tonga izay efa nandroanao sy nanosoranao loko mainty ny masonao sy niravahanao.
They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine ornaments.
41 ary nipetrahanao tamin’ ny farafara marevaka, sady nisy latabatra voavelatra teo anoloany, izay nametrahanao ny ditin-kazo manitro sy ny diloiloko.
You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.
42 Ary teo aminy nisy ny feon’ ny maro izay mipetraka tsy manana ahiahy, ary afa-tsy ny ankabiazam-bahoaka dia nisy mpiboboka nentina avy tany an-efitra; ary nasian’ ireo haba teny an-tànan’ izy mirahavavy sy satro-boninahitra tsara tarehy teny an-dohany.
And the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Dia hoy Izaho ny amin’ ilay efa tontan’ ny fijangajangana ela: Amin’ izao dia mbola hisy hijangajanga amin’ io ihany va?
And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’
44 Eny, mbola nankao aminy ihany ny olona toy ny ankanesany ao amin’ ny vehivavy janga, dia toy ny efa nankanesany tao amin’ i Ohola sy Oholiba, vehivavy janga.
And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.
45 Ary olona marina no hitsara azy araka izay fitsara vehivavy mijangajanga sy mandatsa-drà, satria mijangajanga izy, sady misy rà eny an-tànany.
But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ho entiko hamely azy ny olona maro, ka natolotro ho mpanjenjena sy ho babo izy.
For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.
47 Ary ireo olona maro ireo dia hitora-bato azy sy hitetitetika azy amin’ ny sabatra; hovonoiny ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy, ary hodorany amin’ ny afo koa ny tranony.
And may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses with fire.
48 Toy izany no hampitsaharako ny fahavetavetana amin’ ny tany, mba hahazo anatra ny vehivavy rehetra tsy hanao araka ny fahavetavetanareo.
And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.
49 Ary hatsingeriny aminareo ny fahavetavetanareo, ary ho entinareo ny heloka noho ny sampinareo; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.
And they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
