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:

“Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of Yahweh.

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

The Lord Yahweh says this: The enemy has said about you, “Aha!” and “The ancient high places have become our 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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your desolation and because of the attacks that came on you from all sides, you have become a possession of the other nations; you have been the subject of slanderous lips and tongues, and of people's stories.

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, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and the high hills, to the streambeds and valleys, to the uninhabited desolations and the forsaken cities that have become plunder and a subject of mocking for the other nations that surround them—

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 the Lord Yahweh says this: I have certainly spoken in the fire of my fury against the other nations, against Edom and all who took my land for themselves as a possession, against all those who had both joy in their heart and disdain in their spirit, as they seized my land that they might claim its pasturelands for themselves.'

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 to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the high hills, to the streambeds and to the valleys, 'the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! In my fury and in my anger I am declaring this because you have borne the insults of nations.

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

Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I myself will lift up my hand to swear that the nations that surround you will certainly carry their own 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 you, mountains of Israel, you will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, since they will soon come back to you.

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

For behold, I am for you, and I treat you with favor; you will be plowed and sown with 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;

So I will multiply upon you the number of your people, even the whole house of Israel. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins 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.

I will multiply man and beast on you mountains so that they will multiply and be fruitful. Then I will cause you to be inhabited as you previously were, and I will make you prosper more than you did in the past, for you will know that I am Yahweh.

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.

I will bring men, my people Israel, to walk on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer cause their children to die.

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

The Lord Yahweh says this: Because they are saying to you, “You devour men, bereaving your nation of children,”

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

therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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.

Nor will I allow you to hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer have to bear the shame of the peoples or cause your nation to fall—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

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

Then the word of Yahweh 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, when the house of Israel inhabited their land, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds. Their ways were like the unclean menstruation of a woman 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.

So I poured out my fury against them for the blood that they poured out on the land and for their pollution of it by 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.

I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.

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.

Then they went to the nations, and wherever they went, they profaned my holy name when people said of them, 'Are these really the people of Yahweh? For they have been thrown out of his land.'

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

But I had compassion for my holy name that the house of Israel had defiled among the nations, when they went there.

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 to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I am not doing this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations everywhere you have 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.

For I will make my great name holy, which you have profaned among the nations—in the midst of the nations, you profaned it. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—when you see that I am holy.

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.

I will take you from the nations and gather you from every land, and I will bring you to your land.

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

Then I will sprinkle pure water on you so you will be purified from all of your impurities, and I will purify you from all of 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.

I will give you a new heart and a new spirit in your innermost parts, and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh. For 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.

I will set my Spirit in you and enable you to walk in my statutes and keep my decrees, so you will do them.

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

Then you will inhabit the land that I gave to your ancestors; you will 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;

For I will save you from all of your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and multiply it. I will no longer put 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.

I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will no longer bear the shame 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 you will think of your wicked ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will show loathing on your faces because of your own sins and your disgusting deeds.

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.

I am not doing this for your sake—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—let this be known to you. So be ashamed and disgraced because of your ways, 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.

The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I purify you from all your iniquity, I will cause you to inhabit the cities and to rebuild the ruined places.

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

For you will plow the ruined land until it is no longer a ruin before the eyes of all who pass 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 will say, “This land was desolate, but it has become like the garden of Eden; the desolate cities and the uninhabited ruins that were torn down are now 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.

Then the other nations around you will know that I am Yahweh, that I built up the ruins and replanted the abandoned places. I am Yahweh. I have declared it and I will do 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.

The Lord Yahweh says this: Again I will be asked by the house of Israel to do this for them, to increase them like a flock of people.

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 the flock is set apart for sacrifices, like the flock in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
