Ezekiela 6

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

A message from the Lord came to me that said,

2 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia ny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely, ary maminania ny hamelezana azy,

“Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains and prophesy against them.

3 ka ataovy hoe: Ry tendrombohitry ny Isiraely ô. Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana, ary ny lohasahan-driaka sy ny lohasaha: Indro, Izaho no hahatonga sabatra hamely anareo, ary horavako ny fitoerana avonareo.

Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and destroy your high places.

4 Ary hokoroina ny alitaranareo, ary hosimbana ny tsangan-kazonareo ho an’ ny masoandro; ary hataoko mitsitra eo anoloan’ ny sampinareo ny fatinareo;

Your pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their idols.

5 Ary ny fatin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely hataoko eo anoloan’ ny sampiny; Ary ny taolanareo dia haeliko eny manodidina ny alitaranareo eny.

I will put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.

6 Any amin’ ny fonenanareo rehetra dia ho lao ny tanàna, Ary ho rava ny fitoerana avo, mba ho rava sy lao koa ny alitaranareo, dia hotapatapahina sy hofoanana ny sampinareo, ary hokapaina ny tsangan-kazonareo ho an’ ny masoandro, Ka dia holevonina ny asanareo.

Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.

7 Ary hisy faty hiampatrampatra eo aminareo; Ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

People will be killed all throughout your country. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

8 Nefa hamelako hisy sisa ihany ianareo, fa hisy ho afaka amin’ ny sabatra any amin’ ny jentilisa, Rehefa voaely ho any amin’ ny tany samy hafa ianareo.

However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.

9 Ary izay afaka aminareo dia hahatsiaro Ahy any amin’ ny jentilisa izay hitondrana azy ho babo, rehefa voatorotoroko ny fony mijangajanga, izay efa niala tamiko, sy ny masony, izay mijangajanga manaraka ny sampiny, ary haharikoriko azy ny tenany noho ny ratsy izay efa nataony, dia ny fahavetavetany rehetra;

Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.

10 Ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, ary tsy foana ny nilazako fa hahatonga izany loza izany aminy Aho.

Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster upon them.

11 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Mameleza amin’ ny tananao ianao, ary mitotoa amin’ ny tongotrao, ka manaova hoe: Indrisy! ny fahavetavetana ratsy rehetra ataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, izay ho lavon’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana!

This is what the Lord God says: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.

12 Ny lavitra ho fatin’ ny areti-mandringana, ny akaiky ho lavon’ ny sabatra, ary izay sisa sy izay voaro dia ho faty mosary; Ka dia hotanterahiko aminy ny fahatezerako.

Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards them.

13 Dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah, Rehefa miampatrampatra eny amin’ ny sampy manodidina ny alitarany ny voavono ao aminy, eny amin’ ny havoana andrandraina rehetra, eny amin’ ny tendrombohitra rehetra sy eny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra sy eny ambanin’ ny terebinta misandrahaka rehetra, dia eny amin’ izay efa nanaterany hanitra ankasitrahana tamin’ ny sampiny rehetra;

Then you will know that I am the Lord—when the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.

14 Hahinjitro aminy ny tanako, ary ny tany any amin’ ny fonenany rehetra dia hataoko lao sy foana mihoatra noho ny efitr’ i Dibla; Ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah.

I'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
