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:
And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, 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 this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today.
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 thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into it.
4 ary arotsahy ao ny vaingambaingany, dia ny vaingambaingany tsara rehetra, na ny feny na ny sorony; fenoy taolana voafantina izy.
Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of 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 fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden 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 saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot 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 hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
8 Mba hampakatra ny fahatezerana hamaliana azy no nametrahako ny ràny teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy mangadihady mba tsy ho voasarona.
And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth 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 saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
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 together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
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 burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it 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.
Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even 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.
Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
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 the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
15 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord 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 from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, 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 in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
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 my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
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: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
20 Dia hoy izaho taminy: Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And I said to them: The word of the Lord 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 saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, 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 you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
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.
You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother.
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.
And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
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, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters.
26 eny, amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy olona handositra ho tonga any aminao mba hampandre ny sofinao izany;
In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
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, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
