< Ezekiela 35 >
1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia ny tendrombohitra Seïra, ka maminania ny hamelezana azy,
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
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.
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 Ny tanànanao hataoko korontam-bato, ary ianao ho lao; Ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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,
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
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.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Hataoko foana sy lao ny tendrombohitra Seïra, sady hataoko tsy misy intsony ny mandroso sy ny miverina,
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
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 cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 Hataoko rava mandrakizay ianao, ary tsy honenana intsony ny tanànanao; Ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.
I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting 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.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating 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.
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Ary nanao teny miavonavona namely Ahy ianareo sy nanamaro ny teninareo namely Aha; efa reko izany.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Rehefa mifaly ny tany rehetra, dia hofoanako kosa ianao,
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
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.
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
