Ezekiela 8
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana fahenina tamin’ ny taona fahenina, raha nipetraka tao an-tranoko aho, ary nipetraka teo anatrehako ny loholon’ ny Joda, dia nilatsaka tamiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah Tompo.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
2 Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy nitarehin’ afo; hatramin’ ny valahany no ho midìna dia afo; ary hatramin’ ny valahany no ho miakatra kosa dia nitarehin-java-mamirapiratra dia toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra.
And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
3 Ary nisy nitarehin-tanana nahinjiny, ka noraisiny tamin’ ny voloko aho, dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ho eny anelanelan’ ny tany sy ny lanitra ka nitondra ahy ho any Jerosalema tamin’ ny fahitana avy amin’ Andriamanitra, ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja anatiny, izay manatrika ny avaratra, dia ilay nisy ny sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro, dia ilay mampahasaro-piaro.
And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
4 Ary, indro, teo ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely tahaka ilay fahitana efa hitako teo amin’ ny lohasaha.
And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
5 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, atopazy kely amin’ ny lalana mianavaratra ny masonao. Dia natopiko tamin’ ny lalana mianavaratra ny masoko ka, indro, eny avaratry ny vavahadin’ ny alitara no nisy ilay sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro teo amin’ ny fidirana.
And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.
6 Dia hoy koa Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, hitanao va izay ataon’ ireo, dia ny fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely eto ka mampanalavitra Ahy amin’ ny fitoerako masìna? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe koa ianao.
And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.
7 Dia nentiny ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja aho; ary hitako fa, indro, nisy loaka teo amin’ ny ampiantany.
And he brought me to the porch of the court.
8 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, loahy ny ampiantany; dia noloahako ny ampiantany ka, indro, nisy varavarana.
And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
9 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Midìra, ka jereo ny fahavetavetana lehibe ataony eto.
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
10 Dia niditra aho ka nahita, ary indreo, nisy sarin’ ny biby mandady sy mikisaka rehetra sy ny biby hafa, dia izay fahavetavetana, sy ny sampy rehetra an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, voasoratra teo amin’ ny rindrina manodidina.
So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
11 Ary nisy olona fito-polo lahy, isan’ ny loholon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, nitsangana teo anoloan’ ireo, ary Jazania, zanak’ i Safana, nitsangana teo afovoany, samy nitondra ny loviany fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra teny an-tànany avy, ary ny setroky ny ditin-kazo manitra dia nidonata.
And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
12 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona efa hitanao va ny ataon’ ny loholon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely amin’ ny maizina, dia samy ao amin’ ny efi-tranony misy sary? Fa hoy izy: Jehovah tsy mahita anay; efa nahafoy ny tany Izy.
And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
13 Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataony koa ianao.
And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.
14 Dia nentiny ho eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, izay manatrika ny avaratra aho; ary, indreo, nisy vehivavy nipetraka teo, nitomany an’ i Tamoza.
And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
15 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany ry zanak’ olona? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe noho ireto koa ianao.
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
16 Dia nentiny ho eo amin’ ny kianja anatiny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah aho, ary, indro, teo am-baravaran’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, dia teo anelanelan’ ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny alitara, dia nisy tokony ho dimy amby roa-polo lahy niamboho ny tempolin’ i Jehovah ka nanatrika ny atsinanana; ary ireo dia niankohoka manandrify ny masoandro, nanatrika ny atsinanana.
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
17 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany, ry zanak’ olona? Moa ataon’ ny taranak’ i Joda ho kely loatra va ny nanaovany ny fahavetavetana izay ataony eto, no fenoiny fampahoriana koa ny tany, ka mampahatezitra Ahy lalandava izy; ary indro izy nanainga ny rantsan-kazo ho amin’ ny orony.
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
18 Ary Izaho kosa dia hamely amin’ ny fahatezerako; tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo Aho; ary na dia mitaraina mafy eo an-tsofiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
