Ezekiela 23
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, nisy vehivavy mirahavavy iray tam-po;
“Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same 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.
They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
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.
Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
5 Ary raha mbola vadiko Ohola, dia nijangajanga izy; maimay izy tamin’ ireo lehilahiny, dia ny Asyriana mifanolotra aminy,
But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
6 izay mitafy mangamanga, dia ny governora sy ny lefiny, tovolahy bikàna izy rehetra sady mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
the governor who wore blue, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding 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.
So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men, and she made herself unclean with everyone she lusted for—and with all their idols.
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.
For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior 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 I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
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 nakedness, took her sons and daughters, killed her with the sword, and she became notorious among other women, so they executed judgment 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,
Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than 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 lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses. All of them were strong, handsome men.
13 Dia hitako fa efa nandoto ny tenany izy, fa lalana iray ihany no nalehan’ izy mirahavavy;
I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
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.
Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
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.
wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them had the appearance of officers of chariot troops, the likeness of sons of Babylonia, whose native land is Chaldea.
16 Ary raha vao hitan’ ny masony ireny, dia maimay taminy izy ka naniraka olona ho any aminy tany Kaldea.
As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out 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.
Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
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.
When she displayed her acts of prostitution and uncovered her nakedness, I turned away from her, just as I had turned away in disgust from her sister.
19 Dia nampitombo ny fijangajangany ihany izy, ka dia nahatsiaro ny andro fahatanorany, izay nijangajangany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute 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.
So she lusted for her lovers, whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
21 Nitady ny fijangajangan’ ny fahatanoranao ianao, dia ilay nitsapatsapan’ ny Egyptiana ny nononao, satria nonon’ ny fahavirijinanao ireo.
This is how you committed shameful acts of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young 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, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will turn your lovers against you. Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you 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 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, strong, handsome men, governors and commanders, all of them are officers and men of reputation, all of them riding on 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.
They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people. They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around. I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions.
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.
For I will set my jealous anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.
26 Ary hendahany ny lambanao, sady hesoriny aminao ny firavakao soa.
They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry.
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.
So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer.'
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 the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned 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.
They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you naked and bare, and your nakedness will be uncovered just as when you engaged in promiscuity and prostitutions.
30 Havo aminao izany zavatra izany noho ny nijangajanganao nanaraka ny jentilisa sy noho ny nandotoanao tena tamin’ ny sampiny.
These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with 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, so I will put her cup of punishment 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister's cup that is deep and large. You will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount.
33 Ho feno fahamamoana sy alahelo ianao; kapoaka fahatalanjonana sy fandringanana ny kapoak’ i Samaria rahavavinao.
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation; the cup 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.
You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces. For I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
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, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will bear the consequences of your shameful behavior and acts of sexual immorality.'”
36 Jehovah niteny tamiko hoe: Ry zanak’ olona, tsy hotsarainao va Ohola sy Oholiba? Dia asehoy azy ny fahavetavetany,
Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,
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.
since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and they have even caused their sons to pass through the fire, as food for their idols.
38 Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Nandoto ny fitoerako masìna izy tamin’ izany andro izany sady nandoto ny Sabatako koa.
Then they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile 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.
For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle 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.
You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold. They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
41 ary nipetrahanao tamin’ ny farafara marevaka, sady nisy latabatra voavelatra teo anoloany, izay nametrahanao ny ditin-kazo manitro sy ny diloiloko.
There you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it where you placed my incense and my oil.
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.
So the sound of a noisy crowd was around her; including all kinds of men, even Sabeans were brought in from the wilderness, and they put 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?
Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she with them.'
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.
They went in to her and slept with her as men go in to be with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, who were immoral 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 righteous men will pass judgment and punish them as adulteresses, and they will punish them with the sentence for those who shed blood, because 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.
So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them up to be terrorized and plundered.
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.
Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
48 Toy izany no hampitsaharako ny fahavetavetana amin’ ny tany, mba hahazo anatra ny vehivavy rehetra tsy hanao araka ny fahavetavetanareo.
For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.
49 Ary hatsingeriny aminareo ny fahavetavetanareo, ary ho entinareo ny heloka noho ny sampinareo; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.
So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
