Ezekiela 28
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe;
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, lazao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Tyro hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Satria miavonavona ny fonao, ka hoy ianao: Mba Andriamanitra koa aho; eto amin’ ny anankiray amin’ ny fipetrahan’ Andriamanitra no ipetrahako, dia eto ampovoan’ ny ranomasina. Nefa olona ihany ianao, fa tsy Andriamanitra tsinona, Na dia nataonao toy ny fon’ Andriamanitra aza ny fonao,
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 Hay! hendry noho Daniela ianao! Tsy misy zava-miafina azo afenina anao izany!
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
4 Ny fahendrenao sy ny fahalalanao no nahazoanao haren. Eny, izany no nahazoanao volamena sy volafotsy ho ao amin’ ny rakitrao
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 Ny haben’ ny fahendrenao tamin’ ny varotrao no nampitomboanao ny harenao, ka dia miavonavona ny fonao noho ny harenao;
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 Koa, indro, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Satria efa nataonao ho toy ny fon’ Andriamanitra ny fonao,
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
7 Dia, indro, hitondra olona hafa firenena Aho hamely anao, dia izay masiaka indrindra amin’ ny firenena, Ka hotsoahany ny sabany hamelezany ny fahendrenao tsara, ary hataony matroka ny famirapiratanao
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 Havariny ho any an-davaka ianao, ka ho faty toy ny fahafatesan’ izay voatrabaka ao amin’ ny ranomasina.
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
9 Moa mbola hitompo teny fantatra va ianao eo imason’ izay mamono anao hoe mba Andriamanitra koa aho? Nefa olona ihany ianao, fa tsy Andriamanitra tsinona, raha mby eo an-tànan’ izay manatrabaka anao
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 Tahaka ny fahafatesan’ ny tsy voafora no hahafatesan’ ny fahavalo anao; Fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
12 Ry zanak’ olona, manaova hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Tyro, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Ry ilay mahatanteraka ny rafitra tsara tarehy tonga marika sady feno fahendrena no tena tsara tarehy,
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
13 Tany Edena, sahan’ Andriamanitra, ianao; Ny vato soa rehetra ny eloelo teo amboninao, dia ny karneola, ny topaza, ny onyksa, ny krysolita, ny beryla, ny jaspy, ny safira, ny robina, ny emeralda ary ny volamena; Ny fampanenoana ny ampongatapakao sy ny sodinao dia tao aminao, tamin’ ny andro namoronana anao dia natao koa ireo.
You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
14 Hianao dia kerobima voahosotra izay manaloka, fa voatendriko ianao; Tao an-tendrombohitra masin’ Andriamanitra ianao; Tao amin’ ny vato mirehitra no nitsangantsangananao.
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
15 Tsy nanan-tsiny ianao tamin’ ny nalehanao hatramin’ ny andro namoronana anao ka mandra-pahita heloka tao aminao.
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
16 Noho ny habetsahan’ ny varotra nataonao dia nofenoina loza tao aminao, ka nanota ianao; Ary dia nolotoiko ka nariako niala tamin’ ny tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra ianao, Ary nosimbako ianao, ry kerobima manaloka, hiala tao amin’ ny vato mirehitra.
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
17 Niavonavona ny fonao noho ny hatsaran-tarehinao; Efa nahasimba ny fahendrenao mbamin’ ny famirapiratanao ianao; Nazerako eny an-tany ianao sady natolotro ho fitalanjonan’ ireo mpanjaka,
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
18 Noho ny haben’ ny helokao tamin’ ny tsi-fahamarinan’ ny varotrao, dia voalotonao ny fitoeranao masìna; Koa izany no hamoahako afo avy ao aminao handevona anao, ary hataoko tonga lavenona eny ambonin’ ny tany ianao eo imason’ izay rehetra mijery anao.
By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
19 Ny firenena rehetra izay mahalala anao dia ho gaga anao; Ho tonga fampitahorana ianao ary tsy ho ao intsony mandrakizay.
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia an’ i Sidona, dia maminania ny hamelezana azy,
“Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
22 ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, efa hamely anao Aho, ry Sidona, ary hankalazaina ao ampovoanao Aho; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha manatanteraka ny fitsarana azy Aho ka miseho ho masìna amin’ ny ataoko aminy.
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
23 Fa hahatonga areti-mandringana hamely azy Aho ary rà ho eny an-dalambeny; Dia hiampatrampatra eny aminy ny voatrabaky ny sabatra izay mamely avy eny manodidina eny; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.
I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
24 Ary tsy hisy roy mampangirifiry na tsilo mampanaintaina intsony ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, avy amin’ ireo manodidina azy, izay manao tsinontsinona azy; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
25 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Raha angoniko avy any amin’ ny firenena izay nampielezana azy ny taranak’ Isiraely, dia hiseho ho masìna eo imason’ ny firenena Aho amin’ ny ataoko aminy, ka honina any aminy taniny izay nomeko an’ i Jakoba mpanompoko izy.
This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Dia handry fahizay any izy ka hanorina trano sy hanao tanim-boaloboka; eny, handry fahizay izy amin’ ny anatanterahako ny fitsarana ireo rehetra manodidina azy izay manao tsinontsinona azy; ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamaniny.
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
