Ezekiela 34

1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Ry zanak’ olona, maminania ny hamelezana ny mpiandry ny Isiraely, eny, maminania, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan’ ny mpiandry ondrin’ ny Isiraely izay mamahan-tena! Moa tsy ny ondry va no tokony handrasan’ ny mpiandry?

“Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?

3 Ny taviny dia haninareo, ary ny volony tafinareo, ny nafahy vonoinareo; nefa ny ondry tsy mba andrasanareo.

You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.

4 Tsy manatanjaka ny malemy ianareo, na manasitrana ny marary, na manamatra ny folaka, na mampody ny noroahina, na mikatsaka ny very; fa loza loatra ny fampanomponareo azy.

What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.

5 Dia miely izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry; ary rehefa miely izy, dia tonga rembin’ ny bibidia rehetra.

And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.

6 Mirenireny eny an-tendrombohitra sy eny amin’ ny havoana andrandraina rehetra ny ondriko; eny, any amin’ ny tany rehetra no ielezan’ ny ondriko, ary tsy misy mitady na miahy azy.

My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.

7 Koa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry:

Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:

8 Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, noho ny nahababoan’ ny ondriko sy ny nahatongavan’ ny ondriko ho rembin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra, satria tsy nisy mpiandry azy, fa tsy nitady ny ondriko ny mpiandry, fa ny mamahan-tena kosa no ataony, ka tsy namahana ny ondriko,

As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:

9 dia mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry.

because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:

10 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, avy hamely ny mpiandry ondry Aho, dia hampamoahiko ny amin’ ny ondriko izy ka hesoriko tsy hiandry ny ondry intsony; dia tsy hamahan-tena intsony ny mpiandry ondry, fa hovonjeko eo amin’ ny vavany ny ondriko mba tsy ho azony hohanina intsony.

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.

11 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho, eny, Izaho no hiahy ny ondriko sy handinidinika azy.

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.

12 Toy ny fandinidiniko ny mpiandry ny ondriny amin’ izay andro hahatratrarany ny ondriny izay efa niely, dia toy izany no handinidinihako ny ondriko sy hamonjeko azy avy any amin’ izay rehetra efa nielezany tamin’ ny andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito.

Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.

13 Ary ho entiko mivoaka avy any amin’ ny firenena izy ka hangoniko avy any amin’ ny tany samy hafa, dia ho entiko ho any amin’ ny taniny sy handrasako eny an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely sy eny an-dohasahan-driaka izy ary eny amin’ izay tsara honenana rehetra eran’ ny tany.

And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.

14 Eny amin’ ny tany tsara ho fiandrasana no hiandrasako azy, ary eny an-tendrombohitra avon’ ny Isiraely no ho tany hiandrasana azy; ao no handriany amin’ ny tany tsara, ary eny amin’ ny fiandrasana tsara ahitra no hihinanany, dia any an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely.

I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.

15 Izaho no hiandry ny ondriko, ary Izaho no hampandry azy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.

16 Ny very hotadiaviko, ny voaroaka hampodiko, ny folaka hohamarako, ny malemy hohatanjahiko; fa ny matavy sy ny matanjaka kosa dia haringako ka handrasako amin’ ny fitsarana.

I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.

17 Ary ny aminareo, ry ondriko, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hotsaraiko ny adin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, dia ny ady ataon’ ny ondrilahy sy ny osilahy namany aminy.

But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.

18 Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely va ny nandanianareo ny ahitra tsara, no dia nohosihosen’ ny tongotrareo ny ahitrareo sisa, ary ny efa nisotroanareo ny rano madio, no dia nolotoin’ ny tongotrareo ny sisa?

Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.

19 Ary ny amin’ ny ondriko, moa izay voahosihosin’ ny tongotrareo va no hohaniny, ary izay voaloton’ ny tongotrareo va no hosotroiny?

And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.

20 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo aminy: Indro, Izaho, eny, Izaho no hitsara ny adin’ ny ondry matavy amin’ ny ondry mahia.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.

21 Satria ny tehezanareo sy ny sorokareo no entinareo manosika ny marary rehetra, ary ny tandrokareo no entinareo manoto azy mandra-pandronjinareo azy ho any ivelany;

For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.

22 dia hovonieko ny ondriko, ary tsy ho babo intsony izy, ary hotsaraiko ny adin’ ny ondry amin’ ny ondry namany.

I will save my flock, and it will no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23 Ary hanangana Mpiandry iray ho azy Aho, Izy no hiandry azy, dia Davida Mpanompoko, ka Izy no hitondra azy sy ho Mpiandry azy.

And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

24 Ary Izaho Jehovah no ho Andriamaniny, ary Davida Mpanompoko no ho Mpanapaka ao aminy. Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.

And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 Ary hanao fanekem-pihavanana aminy Aho ka hampiala ny biby masiaka tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany intsony, dia handry fahizay izy na dia any an-efitra aza, sady hatory na dia any anaty ala aza.

And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.

26 Ary izy sy ny manodidina ny havoanako dia hataoko fitaziana, ary hampilatsaka ranonorana amin’ ny fotoany Aho, dia ranonoram-pitahiana mivatravatra.

And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.

27 Ary hamoa ny hazo any an-tsaha, sady hahavokatra ny tany, ary handry fahizay amin’ ny tany izy; ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha hotapahiko ny ziogany, ary hovonjeko amin’ ny tànan’ izay nampanompo azy izy.

And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.

28 Ary tsy ho babon’ ny jentilisa na ho rembin’ ny bibi-dia intsony izy, fa handry fahizay, ary tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.

And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.

29 Ary hampaniry voly ho laza ho azy Aho, ka tsy ho ritry ny mosary amin’ ny tany intsony izy, na hitondra ny latsan’ ny jentilisa intsony;

And I will raise up for them a renowned branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.

30 ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho, Jehovah Andriamaniny, no momba azy, ary izy, taranak’ Isiraely, no oloko, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

31 Ary ny aminareo ondriko ondry fiandriko olona ianareo, ary Izaho no Andriamanitrareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”
