Ezekiela 34
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
3 Ny taviny dia haninareo, ary ny volony tafinareo, ny nafahy vonoinareo; nefa ny ondry tsy mba andrasanareo.
The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
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, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
5 Dia miely izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry; ary rehefa miely izy, dia tonga rembin’ ny bibidia rehetra.
And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
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 did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
7 Koa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry:
Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
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, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
9 dia mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry.
Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
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 My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
11 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho, eny, Izaho no hiahy ny ondriko sy handinidinika azy.
For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
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 seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick 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 among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable 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.
In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
15 Izaho no hiandry ny ondriko, ary Izaho no hampandry azy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
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.
That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
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 flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as 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?
Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
19 Ary ny amin’ ny ondriko, moa izay voahosihosin’ ny tongotrareo va no hohaniny, ary izay voaloton’ ny tongotrareo va no hosotroiny?
And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
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 My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
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 with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered 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 bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
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 And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
24 Ary Izaho Jehovah no ho Andriamaniny, ary Davida Mpanompoko no ho Mpanapaka ao aminy. Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.
And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, 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 solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep 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 and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they 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 his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
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 be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in 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 unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.
30 ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho, Jehovah Andriamaniny, no momba azy, ary izy, taranak’ Isiraely, no oloko, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
31 Ary ny aminareo ondriko ondry fiandriko olona ianareo, ary Izaho no Andriamanitrareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
