Ezekiela 36

1 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, maminania amin’ ny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, ka ataovy hoe: Ry tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah:

“But as for you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord.

2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nanaovan’ ny fahavalo anareo hoe: Hià! efa lasanay ny havoana fahagola!

Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said about you: ‘It is well! The everlasting heights have been given to us as an inheritance!’

3 Dia maminania, ka lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nandravany anareo sy ny nisafoahany nanenjika anareo avy amin’ ny tany manodidina, ka dia efa lasan’ ny jentilisa sisa ho fananany ianareo, sady efa nataon’ ny molotry ny mpibedibedy fitenenana ka efa ambentinteny amin’ ny firenena,

because of this, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been made desolate, and you have been trampled on every side, and you have been made into an inheritance for the remainder of the nations, and because you rose up, over the tip of the tongue and over the shame of the people,

4 Dia mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah Tompo, ry tendrombohitry ny Isiraely: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana, ny lohasahan-driaka sy ny lohasaha ary amin’ ny korontam-bato sy ny tanàna haolo, izay efa babo sy fandatsa ho an’ ny firenena sisa amin’ ny manodidina,

because of this, O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the torrents, and to the valleys, and to the deserts, and to the ruins, and to the forsaken cities, which have been depopulated and ridiculed by the remainder of the nations all around:

5 Eny, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tamin’ ny afon’ ny fahasaro-piaroko no nitenenako tokoa Namely ny firenena sisa sy Edoma rehetra, Izay nahalasa ny taniko ho fananany Tamin’ ny hafalian’ ny fony tokoa sy tamin’ ny fanahy mamingavinga, mba hangoronany azy ho babo.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal, I have spoken about the remainder of the nations, and about all of Idumea, who have given my land to themselves, joyfully, as an inheritance, and with all the heart and mind, and who have cast it out, so that they may lay waste to it.

6 Koa maminania ny amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, ka lazao amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana ary ny lohasahan-driaka sy ny lohasaha hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: (Indro, tamin’ ny fahasaro-piaroko sy ny fahatezerako no nitenenako): Noho ny nitondranareo latsa tamin’ ny firenena,

Therefore, prophesy over the soil of Israel, and you shall say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my fury, because you have endured the shame of the Gentiles.

7 Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izaho efa nanangan-tanana nanao hoe; Ny firenena manodidina anareo no hitondra henatra.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, so that the Gentiles, who are all around you, will themselves bear their shame.

8 Fa ianareo kosa, ry tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, dia hisandrahaka sy hahavokatra ho an’ ny Isiraely oloko; Fa efa antomotra ny hihavian’ ireny.

But as for you, O mountains of Israel, spring forth your branches, and bear your fruit, to my people Israel. For they are close to their advent.

9 Fa, indro, hitodika ho aminareo Aho ka hanatrika anareo; Dia hasaina sy hofafazana ianareo;

For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be plowed, and you will receive seed.

10 Ary hahamaro ny olona eny aminareo Aho, dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra rehetra, ary honenana ny tanàna, ka haorina indray ny efa rava;

And I will multiply men among you and among all the house of Israel. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be restored.

11 Dia hampitombo olona sy biby fiompy eny aminareo Aho, ka hitombo sy hiteraka ireo; Hametrahako mponina tahaka ny taloha any aminareo, ary hanisy soa anareo mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny niandohanareo Aho; Ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

And I will fill you again with men and with cattle. And they will be multiplied, and they will increase. And I will cause you to live as from the beginning, and I will give you even greater gifts than those you had from the start. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Eny, hampivoivoy olona eny aminareo Aho, dia ny Isiraely oloko; Dia hanana anareo izy ka hahalasa anareo ho lovany, ary tsy hahalany fara azy intsony ianareo.

And I will lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without them.

13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nanaovany taminareo hoe: Hianao, ry tany, dia mandany olona, Sady mahalany fara ny firenenao,

Thus says the Lord God: Because they are saying about you, ‘You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,’

14 Dia tsy handany olona intsony ianao, na hahalavo ny firenenao intsony, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own nation, says the Lord God.

15 Ary hataoko tsy mahare ny latsan’ ny jentilisa intsony ianao Sady tsy hitondra ny fanaratsian’ olona intsony; Ary tsy hahalavo ny firenenao intsony ianao, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, says the Lord God.”

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

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

17 Ry zanak’ olona, ny taranak’ Isiraely nonina tany amin’ ny taniny, dia nandoto izany tamin’ ny fanaony sy tamin’ ny asany izy; fa tahaka ny fahalotoan’ ny vehivavy mararin’ ny fadim-bolana no fahalotoan’ ny fanaony eo anatrehako.

“Son of man, the house of Israel lived on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.

18 Ka dia naidiko ho aminy ny fahatezerako mirehitra noho ny rà nalatsany teo amin’ ny tany sy noho ny nandotoany izany tamin’ ny sampiny.

And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.

19 Ary naeliko ho any amin’ ny firenena izy ka nahahaka ho any amin’ ny tany samy hafa; araka ny fanaony sy ny asany no nitsarako azy.

And I dispersed them among the Gentiles, and they have been scattered among the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their plans.

20 Ary nony tonga tany amin’ ny firenena izay nalehany izy, dia tonga fandotoana ny anarako masìna tamin’ ny nanaovan’ ny olona azy hoe: Ireo no olon’ i Jehovah, nefa niala tamin’ ny tanin’ i Jehovah izy.

And when they walked among the Gentiles, to whom they had entered, they defiled my holy name, though it was being said about them: ‘This is the people of the Lord,’ and ‘They went forth from his land.’

21 Dia namindrako fo ny anarako masìna, izay nolotoin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely tany amin’ ny firenena izay nalehany.

But I have spared my holy name, which the house of Israel has defiled among the Gentiles, to whom they entered.

22 Koa atsovy amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tsy noho ny aminareo no anaovako izany, ry taranak’ Isiraely, fa noho ny anarako, masìna, izay nolotoinareo tany amin’ ny jentilisa izay nalehanareo.

For this reason, you shall say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will act, not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you entered.

23 Ary hohamasiniko ny anarako lehibe izay efa nolotoinareo tany amin’ ny jentilisa, ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, hoy Jehovah Tompo, rehefa miseho ho masìna eo imasony Aho amin’ ny ataoko aminareo.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was defiled among the Gentiles, which you have defiled in their midst. So may the Gentiles know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I will have been sanctified in you, before their eyes.

24 Fa halaiko avy any amin’ ny jentilisa ianareo ary hangoniko avy any amin’ ny tany rehetra ka ho entiko ho any amin’ ny taninareo.

Certainly, I will take you away from the Gentiles, and I will gather you together from all the lands, and I will lead you into your own land.

25 Dia hofafazako rano madio ianareo, ka hadio; ny mba ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoanareo rehetra sy ny sampinareo rehetra no hanadiovako anareo.

And I will pour clean water over you, and you shall be cleansed from all your filth, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.

26 Ary homeko fo vaovao ianareo, ary fanahy vaovao no hataoko ao anatinareo, ary hesoriko amin’ ny nofonareo ny fo vato, ka homeko fo nofo ianareo.

And I will give to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

27 Ary ny Fanahiko no hataoko ao anatinareo, ka hahatonga anareo handeha araka ny lalàko sy hitandrina ny fitsipiko ka hanaraka azy.

And I will place my Spirit in your midst. And I will act so that you may walk in my precepts and keep my judgments, and so that you may fulfill them.

28 Ary honina any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny razanareo ianareo, ka ho oloko ianareo, ary Izaho ho Andriamanitrareo.

And you shall live in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Ary hovonjeko ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoanareo rehetra ianareo, ary hantsoiko sy hataoko vokatra ny vary, ary tsy hanaterako mosary intsony ianareo;

And I will save you from all your filth. And I will call for grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not impose a famine upon you.

30 ary hataoko vokatra koa ny voankazo sy ny vokatry ny saha, mba tsy ho voalatsan’ ny jentilisa amin’ ny mosary intsony ianareo.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you may no longer bear the disgrace of famine among the nations.

31 Dia hotsarovanareo ny lalan-dratsinareo sy ny fanao tsy metinareo, ka dia haharikoriko anareo ny tenanareo noho ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahavetavetanareo.

And you shall remember your very wicked ways and your intentions, which were not good. And you will be displeased by your own iniquities and your own crimes.

32 Tsy noho ny aminareo no anaovako izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo aoka ho fantatrareo izany; koa menara sy mangaihaiza ianareo noho ny lalanareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely.

It is not for your sakes that I will act, says the Lord God; let this be known to you. Be confounded and ashamed over your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Amin’ ny andro hanadiovako anareo ho afaka amin’ ny helokareo rehetra dia hametrahako mponina ao amin’ ny tanana, ary haorina indray ny efa rava.

Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I will have cleansed you from all your iniquities, and when I will have caused the cities to be inhabited, and when I will have restored the ruinous places,

34 Ary hasaina ny tany efa lao, fa tsy ho lao eo imason’ ny mpandalo rehetra intsony izy.

and when the deserted land will have been cultivated, which previously was desolate to the eyes of all who passed by,

35 Fa holazainy hoe: Ity tany efa lao ity dia tonga tahaka ny saha Edena; ary ny tanàna efa foana sy lao dia misy mponina sady asiana manda;

then they shall say: ‘This uncultivated land has become a garden of delight, and the cities, which were deserted and destitute and overturned, have been settled and fortified.’

36 ka dia ho fantatry ny jentilisa sisa manodidina anareo fa Izaho Jehovah no manorina indray ny efa rava sy mamboly izay efa foana. Izaho Jehovah no niteny sady hahatanteraka izany.

And the Gentiles, those who remain around you, shall know that I, the Lord, have built up what was destroyed, and have planted what was uncultivated. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.

37 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Mbola hotadiavin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely Aho amin’ ny hanaovako izao ho azy; hohamaroiko toy ny ondry ny olony.

Thus says the Lord God: Even in this time, the house of Israel shall find me, so that I may act for them. I will multiply them like a flock of men,

38 Toy ny ondry aman’ osy masìna, izay any Jerosalema amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana, dia toy izany no hahafenoan’ ny tanànany efa lao amin’ ny olona maro toy ny ondry aman’ osy; ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.

like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnities. So shall the deserted cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
