< Ezekiela 28 >

1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe;
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
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,
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Hay! hendry noho Daniela ianao! Tsy misy zava-miafina azo afenina anao izany!
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Ny fahendrenao sy ny fahalalanao no nahazoanao haren. Eny, izany no nahazoanao volamena sy volafotsy ho ao amin’ ny rakitrao
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Ny haben’ ny fahendrenao tamin’ ny varotrao no nampitomboanao ny harenao, ka dia miavonavona ny fonao noho ny harenao;
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Koa, indro, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Satria efa nataonao ho toy ny fon’ Andriamanitra ny fonao,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as 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
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Havariny ho any an-davaka ianao, ka ho faty toy ny fahafatesan’ izay voatrabaka ao amin’ ny ranomasina.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died 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
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Tahaka ny fahafatesan’ ny tsy voafora no hahafatesan’ ny fahavalo anao; Fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
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,
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
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 [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Hianao dia kerobima voahosotra izay manaloka, fa voatendriko ianao; Tao an-tendrombohitra masin’ Andriamanitra ianao; Tao amin’ ny vato mirehitra no nitsangantsangananao.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Tsy nanan-tsiny ianao tamin’ ny nalehanao hatramin’ ny andro namoronana anao ka mandra-pahita heloka tao aminao.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
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.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
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 were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at 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 committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Ny firenena rehetra izay mahalala anao dia ho gaga anao; Ho tonga fampitahorana ianao ary tsy ho ao intsony mandrakizay.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia an’ i Sidona, dia maminania ny hamelezana azy,
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
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.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
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.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
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.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
