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 sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there fell upon me there the inspiration of the Lord Eternal.

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 saw, and, behold, there was a likeness similar to the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, it was fire; and from his loins upward, it was similar to the appearance of a bright light, like the glitter 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 form of a hand, and took me by the locks of my head; and a spirit bore me between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to wrath.

4 Ary, indro, teo ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely tahaka ilay fahitana efa hitako teo amin’ ny lohasaha.

And, behold, there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.

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 unto me, Son of man, do but lift up thy eyes in the direction toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes in the direction toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar [there was] this image of jealousy at the entrance.

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.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great abominations.

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 door of the court: and I looked, and behold there was a hole in the wall.

8 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, loahy ny ampiantany; dia noloahako ny ampiantany ka, indro, nisy varavarana.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, do break [an opening] in the wall: and I broke [an opening] in the wall, and, behold, there was a door.

9 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Midìra, ka jereo ny fahavetavetana lehibe ataony eto.

And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing 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 saw; and behold there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all 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 Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.

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.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

13 Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataony koa ianao.

And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing.

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 to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz.

15 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany ry zanak’ olona? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe noho ireto koa ianao.

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other greater abominations than 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 Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward to 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.

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and they constantly repeat to provoke me to anger; and, lo, they stretch forth the branch to their nose.

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 I also will deal in fury; my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare: and though they call before my ears with a loud voice, will I still not hear them.
