Ezekiela 34

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

And the word of Jehovah 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 against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

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

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill that which is fatted; but ye feed not the flock.

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.

The weak do ye not strengthen, and the sick do ye not heal, and the wounded do ye not bind up; ye bring not back that which hath been driven away, neither seek ye that which hath been lost; but with force and with cruelty do ye rule them.

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

Therefore are they scattered abroad, because there is no shepherd, and they are food to all the beasts of the field, or are scattered abroad.

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 wander through all the mountains, and upon every high hill; yea, over the whole face of the land is my flock scattered, and none careth for them, or seeketh them.

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

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:

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, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, because my flock is become a prey, and my flock is become meat to all the beasts of the field because there is no shepherd, and because my shepherds search not for my flock, and feed themselves, and feed not my flock, —

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

therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.

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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and they shall not be meat for them.

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

For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, will seek my flock, and look after 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.

as a shepherd looketh after his flock in the day when he is among his sheep that are scattered, so will I look after my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the day of clouds 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 bring them out from the nations, and gather them from the countries; and I will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the dwelling-places 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 a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be; there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

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

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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 that which was lost, and bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong will I destroy; I will feed them as they deserve.

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.

And as for you, O my sheep, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will judge between the weak of the flock and the strong ones, even the rams and the 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?

Seemeth it a small thing to you to eat up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to drink of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue 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 that my sheep eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and drink that which ye have fouled with your feet?

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

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah to them: Behold I, even I, will judge between the fat and the lean of the flock.

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;

Because ye thrust with your side and with your shoulder, and push all the weak with your horns, till ye scatter them abroad,

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

therefore will I save my sheep, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

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 one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall 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, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

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 with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, so that they shall dwell safely in the desert, and sleep in the woods.

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, and the places round about my hill, a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; showers rich in blessings shall there be.

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 shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase; and they shall be secure in their land, and shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall break the bands of their yoke and deliver them out of the hand of them that made them servants.

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 shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell in security, and none shall make them afraid.

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 plantation for my glory; and they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, neither shall they bear the reproach of the nations any more.

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

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

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

For ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
