Ezekiela 3
1 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, hano izay hitanao, eny, hano ity horonan-taratasy ity, dia mandehana, ka mitenena amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
And He says to me, “Son of man, eat that which you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Dia nosokafako ny vavako, ary nafahany ahy izany horonan-taratasy izany.
And I open my mouth, and He causes me to eat this scroll.
3 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, vokiso ny kibonao, ary fenoy ny horonan-taratasy omeko anao ity ny tsinainao. Dia nihinana aho, ka, mamy tao am-bavako toy ny tantely izy.
And He says to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you”; and I eat it, and it is as honey for sweetness in my mouth.
4 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, andeha mankany amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ka lazao aminy ny teniko.
And He says to me, “Son of man, go forth, go to the house of Israel, and you have spoken to them with My words.
5 Fa tsy ho any amin’ ny firenena miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika no anirahana anao, fa ho any amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ihany;
For you [are] not sent to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue—to the house of Israel;
6 tsy ho amin’ ny firenena maro, izay miboediboedi-piteny sy miboeriboerika, ka tsy ho azonao ny teniny, fa raha maniraka anao ho amin’ ireto Aho, dia hihaino anao izy.
not to many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words you do not understand. If I had not sent you to them—they listen to you,
7 Fa ny taranak’ Isiraely dia tsy mety mihaino anao, satria tsy mety mihaino Ahy izy; fa ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra dia mafy handrina sady madi-po.
but the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
8 Indro, efa nohamafiko ny tarehinao hiatrika amin’ ny tarehiny sy ny handrinao hanandrina ny handriny.
Behold, I have made your face strong against their face, and your forehead strong against their forehead.
9 Ataoko toy ny diamondra ny handrinao, eny, mafy noho ny vatolampy aza; ka aza matahotra azy na mivadi-po noho ny tarehiny, fa taranaka maditra izy.
As an adamant, harder than a rock, I have made your forehead; do not fear them, nor are you frightened before them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
10 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, ny teny rehetra izay holazaiko aminao dia aoka ho mamin’ ny fonao, ka henoy amin’ ny sofinao.
And He says to me, “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, receive with your heart, and hear with your ears;
11 Dia mandehana mankany amin’ ny babo, dia ireo zanaky ny firenenao ary mitenena aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino.
and go forth, go to the expulsion, to the sons of your people, and you have spoken to them, and have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; whether they hear, or whether they refrain.”
12 Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy, dia nandre horakoraka be teo ivohoko aho nanao hoe: Isaorana anie ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fitoerany.
And a spirit lifts me up, and I hear a noise behind me, a great rushing—“Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from His place!”
13 Ary reko koa ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny zava-manan’ aina, izay nifanendry, sy ny fidilodilotry ny kodia teo anilany sy ny horakoraka be.
Even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels alongside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
14 Ary nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ka nitondra ahy, dia lasa aho sady nirehitra tamin’ ny fahavontosan’ ny fanahiko; ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia nahery tao amiko.
And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and takes me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of YHWH [is] strong on me.
15 Dia tonga tany amin’ ny babo tany Telabiba aho, dia teo amin’ izay nonina teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara, teo amin’ izay nipetrahany, ary mandritra ny hafitoana dia tahaka ilay torana iny aho.
And I come to the expulsion, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell [for] seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
16 Ary nony afaka ny hafitoana, dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And it comes to pass, at the end of seven days,
17 Ry zanak’ olona, efa nataoko mpitily ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ianao; ka dia hohenoinao ny teny avy amin’ ny vavako, ary avy amiko no hananaranao azy.
that there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, I have given you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you have heard a word from My mouth, and have warned them from Me.
18 Raha hoy Izaho amin’ ny ratsy fanahy: Ho faty tokoa ianao! ary tsy mananatra azy ianao, na miteny hananatra ny ratsy fanahy, hialany amin’ ny lalany ratsy hamonjena ny ainy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany ilay ratsy fanahy; nefa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
In My saying to the wicked: You surely die; and you have not warned him, nor have spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he lives; he—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, and I require his blood from your hand.
19 Fa raha mananatra ny ratsy fanahy kosa ianao, ka izy no tsy mety miala amin’ ny faharatsiany sy amin’ ny lalany ratsy, dia ho faty amin’ ny helony ihany izy; fa ho voavonjinao ny fanahinao.
And you, because you have warned the wicked, and he has not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he dies in his iniquity, and you have delivered your soul.
20 Ary koa, raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka, ary mametraka fahatafintohinana eo anoloany Aho, dia Ho faty izy; eny noho ny tsy nananaranao azy dia ho faty amin’ ny fahotany ihany izy, ary ny fahamarinana izay nataony tsy hotsaroana, nefa kosa hadiniko amin’ ny tananao ny ràny.
And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, he dies in his sin, and his righteousness that he has done is not remembered, and I require his blood from your hand.
21 Fa raha mananatra ny marina mba tsy hanota ianao, ka tsy manota izy, dia ho velona tokoa izy, satria nino anatra; ary voavonjinao koa ny fanahinao.
And you, because you have warned him—the righteous—that the righteous does not sin, and he has not sinned, he surely lives, because he has been warned; and you have delivered your soul.”
22 Ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia tamiko, ary hoy Izy tamiko: Mitsangàna, ka mivoaha ho any amin’ ny lohasaha, ary any no hitenenako aminao.
And there is a hand of YHWH on me there, and He says to me, “Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I speak with you.”
23 Dia nitsangana aho ka nivoaka nankany amin’ ny lohasaha; ary, indro, nitoetra teo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah tahaka ny voninahitra izay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.
And I rise and go forth to the valley, and behold, there the glory of YHWH is standing as the glory that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
24 Ary nisy fanahy tonga tao anatiko ka nampitsangana ahy; dia niteny tamiko Izy ka nanao hoe: Andeha, mirindrina ao anatin’ ny tranonao ianao.
And [the] Spirit comes into me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and He speaks with me, and says to me, “Go in, be shut up in the midst of your house.
25 Fa ianao, ry zanak’ olona, indro, hasiany fatorana, izay hamatorany anao, ka tsy hahazo mivoaka ho ao aminy ianao.
And you, son of man, behold, they have put thick bands on you, and have bound you with them, and you do not go forth in their midst;
26 Ary hampiraiketiko amin’ ny lanilaninao ny lelanao, ka ho moana ianao ary tsy ho mpananatra azy; fa taranaka maditra izy.
and I cause your tongue to cleave to your palate, and you have been mute, and are not for a reprover to them, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
27 Fa raha miteny aminao Aho, dia hosokafako ny vavanao, ka dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izay mihaino, dia aoka izy hihaino; ary izay tsy mihaino, dia aoka izy tsy hihaino kosa; fa taranaka maditra izy.
And in My speaking with you, I open your mouth, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH; the hearer hears, and the refrainer refrains; for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
