Ezekiela 24
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, soratinao ny anaran’ ny andro, dia izao andro anio izao; ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona miantomboka mamely an’ i Jerosalema amin’ izao andro anio izao.
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this selfsame day.
3 Ary milazà fanoharana amin’ ny taranaka maditra, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Asio vilany eo an-tokoana, eny, ataovy eo an-tokoana, ka asio rano ao anatiny;
And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Set on the caldron. Set it on, and also pour water into it.
4 ary arotsahy ao ny vaingambaingany, dia ny vaingambaingany tsara rehetra, na ny feny na ny sorony; fenoy taolana voafantina izy.
Gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Alao ny ondry voafantina, ka tohofy kitay betsaka ao ambaniny koa hahandroana ny taolana, dia ampangotrahy tsara izy, ka andrahoy ao ny taolany.
Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron. Make it boil well, yea, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it.
6 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà sy ny vilany izay misy harafesina tsy mety afaka ao anatiny! Loary tsirairay ny vaingambaingany, fa aza anaovana filokana.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece. No lot has fallen upon it.
7 Fa ny ràny dia ao aminy; teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy mangadihady no nametrahany azy; tsy naidiny tamin’ ny tany hosaronan’ ny vovoka izy.
For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the bare rock. She did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.
8 Mba hampakatra ny fahatezerana hamaliana azy no nametrahako ny ràny teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy mangadihady mba tsy ho voasarona.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà; Izaho koa hamory kitay betsaka.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
10 Atohofy betsaka ny kitay hazo, ampireheto ny afo, masaho tsara ny hena, ka asio zavatra hahamanitra azy, ary aoka ho may ny taolana.
Heap on the wood; make the fire hot. Boil the flesh well, and make the broth thick. And let the bones be burned.
11 Dia foàny ny vilany, ka ataovy eo ambonin’ ny vainafo hampahafana sy hahamay ny varahiny, ka ho levona eo aminy ny fahalotoany, ary ho afaka ny harafesiny.
Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 Efa nanasatra dia nanasatra ny tenany izy, nefa tsy nety afaka ny harafesim-beny; aoka ho eo amin’ ny afo ny harafesiny.
She has wearied herself with toil, yet her great scum does not go forth out of her, her scum by fire.
13 Ny fahalotoanao dia misy fahavetavetana; satria nanadio anao Aho, nefa tsy nadio ianao, dia tsy hadio ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoana intsony ianao ambara-pialako fo aminao.
In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed thee and thou were not cleansed, thou shall not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.
14 Izaho Jehovah no niteny, ka ho tonga izany ary hataoko; tsy hiahotrahotra Aho, na hiantra, na hanenina; araka ny fanaonao sy ny asanao no hitsarana anao, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
I, Jehovah, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will neither spare, nor will I relent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, says the lord Jehovah.
15 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
16 Ry zanak’ olona, indro, efa hesoriko amin’ ny loza indray mamely monja ilay tian’ ny masonao; nefa aza misaona na mitomany na mandatsa-dranomaso akory ianao.
Son of man, behold, I take the desire of thine eyes away from thee with a stroke. Yet thou shall neither mourn nor weep. Neither shall thy tears run down.
17 Misentoa malemilemy ihany ianao, fa aza mitomany na misaona ny maty; afehezo aminao ny hamamanao, ary asio kiraro ny tongotrao, ary aza manarona ny saokanao na mihinana ny fahan-kanina aterin’ olona.
Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind thy headdress upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet. And do not cover thy lips, and do not eat the bread of men.
18 Ary nony maraina dia niteny tamin’ ny olona aho; ary nony hariva dia maty ny vadiko; ary nony maraina indray dia nanao araka ny efa nandidiana ahy aho.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Ary hoy ny olona tamiko: Moa tsy holazainao aminay va izay hevitra tokony ho azonay amin’ izao ataonao izao?
And the people said to me, Will thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou do so?
20 Dia hoy izaho taminy: Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Then I said to them, The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
21 Lazao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, holotoiko ny fitoerako masìna, izay reharehan’ ny herinareo, dia ilay tian’ ny masonareo sy mahamanina ny fanahinareo; ary ho lavon’ ny sabatra ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo, izay nilaozanareo.
Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul has compassion. And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 Dia manaova tahaka ny nataoko ianareo: aza manarona ny saokanareo ianareo, na mihinana ny fahan-kanina aterin’ olona;
And ye shall do as I have done. Ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 ary aoka ho eo an-dohanareo ny hamamanareo sy ho eo an-tongotrareo ny kiraronareo; aza misaona na mitomany ianareo; fa ho levona noho ny helokareo ianareo ka hifampitoloko.
And your coverings shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet. Ye shall not mourn nor weep, but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
24 Ary Ezekiela dia ho famantarana mahagaga ho anareo; koa araka izay rehetra nataony no mba hataonareo; ary rehefa tonga izany, dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.
Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign, according to all that he has done ye shall do. When this comes, then ye shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
25 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, amin’ ny andro hanesorako aminy ny heriny sy ny fifalian’ ny voninahiny, ilay tian’ ny masony sy ilay tian’ ny fanahiny, dia ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy,
And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that upon which they set their heart-their sons and their daughters-
26 eny, amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy olona handositra ho tonga any aminao mba hampandre ny sofinao izany;
that in that day he who escapes shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
27 amin’ izany andro izany dia hisokatra miaraka amin’ ny an’ ilay mandositra ny vavanao, ka dia hiteny ianao, fa tsy ho moana intsony; ry ho famantarana mahagaga aminy ianao; ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah.
In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him who is escaped, and thou shall speak, and no more be mute. So thou shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
