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 thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient high-places are become ours as a possession:

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,

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report 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,

Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about:

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.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.

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 concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:

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

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you— these shall 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 ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.

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

For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be sown;

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 upon you men, all the house of Israel— altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;

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 multiply upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye 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.

Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.

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

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:

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

Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

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.

And I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

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

And the word of the Lord came unto 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, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.

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 I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;

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 scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.

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 were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.

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

But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.

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.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.

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 profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your 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.

And I will take you from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto 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 sprinkle upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

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 you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give 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 my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.

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

And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as a 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 kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay 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 trees, and the products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account 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.

Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of your abominations.

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.

Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of your 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,

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

And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer 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 shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of 'Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and inhabited.

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 nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the broken-down [places], have planted the desolate [land]: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done it.

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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks [in multitude].

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.

As the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
