Ezekiela 35
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia ny tendrombohitra Seïra, ka maminania ny hamelezana azy,
“Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
3 dia ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, avy hamely anao Aho, ry tendrombohitra Seïra, ary hahinjitro aminao ny tanako, ka hataoko foana sy lao ianao.
Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
4 Ny tanànanao hataoko korontam-bato, ary ianao ho lao; Ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
5 Noho ny fandrafianao hatry ny fony ela sy ny nanoloranao ny zanak’ Isiraely ho fatin’ ny sabatra, fony tamin’ ny andro nahitany loza, dia ny fotoan’ ny heloka mahafaty,
Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
6 Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Raha velona koa Aho, dia hataoko manjary rà ianao, ary rà no hanenjika anao; Satria tsy nankahalainao ny rà, dia rà kosa no hanenjika anao.
So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
7 Hataoko foana sy lao ny tendrombohitra Seïra, sady hataoko tsy misy intsony ny mandroso sy ny miverina,
I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
8 Ary hofenoiko ny olony voavono ny tendrombohiny; Eny, ao amin’ ny havoananao sy ny lohasahanao Ary amoron’ ny lohasahan-driakanao rehetra no hiampatramparan’ izay voatrabaky ny sabatra.
I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
9 Hataoko rava mandrakizay ianao, ary tsy honenana intsony ny tanànanao; Ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
10 Ary noho ny nanaovanao hoe: Ireto firenena roa ireto sy ireto tany roa ireto dia ho ahy avokoa, Ka hanana azy izahay kanefa teo ihany Jehovah
Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
11 Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Raha velona koa Aho, dia hanao araka ny fahatezeranao sy ny fialonanao Aho, izay nataonao noho ny fandrafianao azy; Ary hampahafantariko ao aminy ny tenako amin’ ny hitsarako anao.
then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
12 Ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho Jehovah no efa nandre ny fanaratsiana, izay nolazainao ny amin’ ireny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely hoe: Foana ireny ka nomena anay ho fivelomanay.
You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
13 Ary nanao teny miavonavona namely Ahy ianareo sy nanamaro ny teninareo namely Aha; efa reko izany.
You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
14 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Rehefa mifaly ny tany rehetra, dia hofoanako kosa ianao,
This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
15 Toy ny nifalianao ny amin’ ny lovan’ ny taranak’ Isirady, satria nofoanana ireny, dia toy izany kosa no hataoko aminao: Ho foana ianao, ry tendrombohitra Seïra sy Edoma rehetra; Ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.
Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
