Ezekiela 23
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, nisy vehivavy mirahavavy iray tam-po;
Son of man, there were two women, the 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 played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot: there were their breasts pressed, and there they suffered their virgin bosoms to be touched.
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.
And their names were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister; but they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters: and their names are, Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem, Aholibah.
5 Ary raha mbola vadiko Ohola, dia nijangajanga izy; maimay izy tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, dia ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy,
And Aholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she longed for her lovers, for the Assyrians that were near [her],
6 izay mitafy mangamanga, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
Clothed [as they were] in blue, governors, and rulers, attractive youths all of them, horsemen riding upon 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.
Thus she played the harlot with them, all of them the chosen ones of the sons of Asshur: and with all for whom she longed, —with all their idols did she defile herself.
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.
But also her lewdness from Egypt forsook she not; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had touched her virgin bosom, and had lavished their lewd caresses on her.
9 Ary noho izany dia natolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ireo lehilahiny izy, dia eo an-tànan’ ny Asyriana izay nahamaimay azy.
Therefore did I give her up into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Asshur, after whom she longed.
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.
These were they that laid open her nakedness; her sons and her daughters did they take away, and her they slew with the sword: and she became infamous among women, when they inflicted the decreed punishments on 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 Aholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her longing than she, and in her lewd acts more than her sister's lewdness.
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.
For the sons of Asshur did she long, the governors and rulers that were near, clothed as they were most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, attractive youths all of them.
13 Dia hitako fa efa nandoto ny tenany izy, fa lalana iray ihany no nalehan’ izy mirahavavy;
Then saw I that she was defiled, that they followed both one way.
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.
But she added still more to her acts of lewdness; for when she saw men engraved upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with color,
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.
Bound with girdles on their loins, with hanging down colored turbans on their heads, in appearance like commanders, all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon of the Chaldeans, the land of their birth:
16 Ary raha vao hitan’ ny masony ireny, dia maimay taminy izy ka naniraka olona ho any aminy tany Kaldea.
Then did she long for them as soon as she saw them with her eyes, and she sent messengers unto them to 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 the sons of Babylon came to her unto the couch of love, and they defiled her with their lewd caresses; and [yet] when she had been defiled with them, she tore her soul away from 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.
And when she had laid open her lewdness, and had uncovered her nakedness: then my soul tore itself away from her, as my soul had torn itself away from her sister.
19 Dia nampitombo ny fijangajangany ihany izy, ka dia nahatsiaro ny andro fahatanorany, izay nijangajangany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
Yet she multiplied her deeds of lewdness, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot 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 longed for her paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose lustfulness is like the lustfulness of horses.
21 Nitady ny fijangajangan’ ny fahatanoranao ianao, dia ilay nitsapatsapan’ ny Egyptiana ny nononao, satria nonon’ ny fahavirijinanao ireo.
And thou calledst to mind the incest of thy youth, when thy bosom was touched by the Egyptians for the sake of thy youthful breasts.
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,
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will wake up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul hath torn itself away, and I will bring them against thee from every side;
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, Pekod, and Shoa and Koa, and all the sons of Asshur with them, attractive youths, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and chiefs, riding upon horses all of them.
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 shall come over thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, buckler and shield and helmet shall they set up against thee round about: and I will give up before them the right to judge, and they shall judge thee according to their ordinances.
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 I will set my zealousness against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; thy nose and thy ears shall they cut off; and what is left of thee shall fall by the sword: thy sons and thy daughters shall they take away; and what is left of thee shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Ary hendahany ny lambanao, sady hesoriny aminao ny firavakao soa.
And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy ornamental attire.
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.
Thus will I make thy incest to cease from thee, and thy lewdness brought from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thy eyes unto them, and Egypt shalt thou not remember any more.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will give thee up into the hand of those whom thou hatest, into the hand of those from whom thy soul hath torn itself away;
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 shall deal with thee in hate, and shall take away all [things acquired by] thy labor, and they shall leave thee naked and bare: and thus shall be uncovered the nakedness of thy lewdness, and thy incest and thy lewd deeds.
30 Havo aminao izany zavatra izany noho ny nijangajanganao nanaraka ny jentilisa sy noho ny nandotoanao tena tamin’ ny sampiny.
I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone with vile lust after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.
31 Tamin’ ny nalehan’ ny rahavavinao no nalehanao koa, ka dia hataoko eo an-tananao ny kapoakany.
On the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I place her cup into thy 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, The cup of thy sister shalt thou drink, the deep and wide one: thou shalt become to be laughed to scorn and to be held in derision, more than thou canst bear.
33 Ho feno fahamamoana sy alahelo ianao; kapoaka fahatalanjonana sy fandringanana ny kapoak’ i Samaria rahavavinao.
With drunkenness and sorrow shalt thou be filled, [out of] the cup of astonishment and confusion, the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34 Hosotroinao sy hotrohinao izy, ary hokikisanao ny vakivakiny sady handriatanao ny nononao; fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt break in pieces its fragments, and tear thy own breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back: therefore bear thou also thy incest and thy acts of lewdness.
36 Jehovah niteny tamiko hoe: Ry zanak’ olona, tsy hotsarainao va Ohola sy Oholiba? Dia asehoy azy ny fahavetavetany,
The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, wilt thou call Aholah and Aholibah to account? then tell them of their abominations;
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.
That they have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and also their sons whom they had born unto me have they caused to pass for them through [the fire], to devour them.
38 Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Nandoto ny fitoerako masìna izy tamin’ izany andro izany sady nandoto ny Sabatako koa.
Moreover this have they done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and my sabbaths have they profaned.
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 had slain their children to their idols, then came they into my sanctuary on the same day to profane it: and, lo, thus have they done 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.
And farthermore yet, because they sent for men who were to come from afar, unto whom messengers were sent; and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst bathe thyself, paint thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;
41 ary nipetrahanao tamin’ ny farafara marevaka, sady nisy latabatra voavelatra teo anoloany, izay nametrahanao ny ditin-kazo manitro sy ny diloiloko.
And thou didst sit upon a stately bed, with a table spread before it, and my incense and my oil didst thou set upon it.
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 shout of a peaceful joyous multitude was [heard] within her; and with the men of the masses of the common people were brought Sabeans from the wilderness; and these women placed bracelets on their hands, and crowns of glory upon their heads.
43 Dia hoy Izaho ny amin’ ilay efa tontan’ ny fijangajangana ela: Amin’ izao dia mbola hisy hijangajanga amin’ io ihany va?
Then thought I of her that was worn out in adulteries, Will they now [still] commit lewdness with her, when she [is thus]?
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.
But men went in unto her, as they go in unto a faithless wife: thus went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the incestuous 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.
Righteous men, however—these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because adulteresses are they, 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, I will bring up against them an assemblage of men, and I will give them up to ill-usage and plunder.
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 the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords: their sons and their daughters shall they slay, and their houses shall they burn with fire.
48 Toy izany no hampitsaharako ny fahavetavetana amin’ ny tany, mba hahazo anatra ny vehivavy rehetra tsy hanao araka ny fahavetavetanareo.
Thus will I cause incest to cease out of the land, that all women may be warned by example, and not do after your incestuous course.
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 shall lay your incest upon you, and the sins of your idols shall ye bear: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
