Ezekiela 13
1 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe;
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ ondatio, Mitokia amo mpitoki’ Israele mitokio, le ano ty hoe o mitoky boak’ an-tro’e ao avaoo, Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà;
Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;
3 Hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Feh’ohatse amo mpitoky dereñe mañorike ty tro’e avao ie tsy mahatrea raha!
This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!
4 Ry Israele, Hoe fanalok’ an-tanan-taolo eo o mpitoki’ areoo.
O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.
5 Tsy niañambone mb’amo heba’e ao nahareo; tsy nandranjia’ areo ty fahetse hahafitroara’ i anjomba’ Israeley an-kotakotake amy andro’ Iehovày.
You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.
6 Raha tsy vente’e naho fisikiliañe vìlañe ty niisa’ iereo, ie manao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà; ie tsy nirahe’ Iehovà, fe liñisa’ iareo ho venteñe i entañey.
They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.
7 Tsy aroñarom-bìlañe hao ty niisa’ areo, tsy fisikilian-dremborake hao ty nijoroa’ areo? ie manao ty hoe, Hoe t’Iehovà.—Izaho tsy nivolañe.
Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?
8 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Kanao nisaontsy hakoahañe nahareo naho nahaisake vande; le atreatreko hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.
9 Le hatreatre’ ty tañako o mpitoky mpandrendre-draha kafoake naho misikily vandeo, tsy ho mpiamo fivori’ ondatikoo, mbore tsy ho sokirañe amy fanokira’ i anjomba’ Israeley naho tsy himoaha’ iareo ka ty an-tane’ Israele, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Talè.
And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
10 Amy te sinigì’ iareo ondatikoo ami’ty hoe: Fanintsiñañe; ie tsy eo ty fanintsiñañe; eo ty mandrafitse rindriñe naho ipakora’e sokay.
Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:
11 Ano ty hoe amo mampipakotse aze antsokaio te hihotrake izay; ho avy ty orañe handopatse, naho ihe ry havandra ro hagnitrike ami’ty hagadaboñe, hampihotrak’ aze vaho tio-baratse ty handriatse aze.
Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.
12 Aa ie mideboñe i rindriñey tsy hañontaneañe ty hoe hao, Aia i fotake napako’ areo ama’ey?
And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?
13 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Toe hampandriateko tio-bey am-pifomboko naho an-kabosehako, añ’oram-pandopatse vaho havandra gadaboñe, hamotsek’ aze ampiforoforoako.
For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.
14 Aa le harotsako i kijoly nipakore’ areo an-tsokaiy vaho hadeboko an-tane eo, naho songa hiboake o faha’eo naho hidoiñe; ho mongoreñe añivo’e ao nahareo vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
15 Toe izay ty hañenefako ty habosehako amy kijoliy, naho amo nampipakotse sokay ama’eo, vaho hanoako ty hoe: Tsy eo ka i kijoliy rekets’ o nampipakotse azeo,
So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?
16 naho o mpitoki’ Israele mitoky am’ Ierosalaimeo, ie manao te mahaoniñe fanintsiñañe ho aze, ie po-panintsiñañe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
17 Ihe ka, ana’ ondatio, ampiatrefo mb’ amo anak’ ampela’ondati’oo ty lahara’o, mb’amo mitoky ty an-tro’e ao avaoo; itokio fatse,
And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,
18 ami’ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Hankàñe amo mitrebek’ ankalan-kihoke naho fikolopofan-doha ho ami’ty bey naho ty kede iabio hañoroña’ iareo fiaiñe! Ho horoñe’ areo ka hao ty arofo’ondatikoo hañarova’ areo ty tro’ areo?
This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?
19 Fa tineratera’ areo am’ondatikoo iraho hahazoa’o vare mahaatsam-pitàñe tsy ampeampe naho tsila-mofo, hanjamana’o ty havelo’ ondaty tsy ho vinonoo, vaho hamahanam-piay tsy ho vinelo, ami’ty fandañira’ areo am’ondatiko mitsanom-bandeo.
And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.
20 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Inao! hejeko o bandem-pitañe fitsatsa’areo ondaty veloñe hoe t’ie voroñe; ho riateko am-pità’ areo iereo vaho havotsoko o veloñeo, Eka! o haveloñe horoñe’ areo hoe voroñeo.
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.
21 Ho riateko ka o masoara’ areoo naho ho hahako am-pità’ areo ondatikoo, le tsy ho am-pità’ areo horoñeñe ka, vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
And I will have your veils violently parted in two, and will make my people free from your hands, and they will no longer be in your power for you to go after them; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
22 Aa kanao aman-dañitse ty nahalonjera’ areo ty arofo’ o vantañeo, o tsy nampanaheloekoo; naho nihafatrare’ areo ty fità’ o lo-tserekeo tsy hiviha’e amo sata’e ratio, hiveloma’e;
Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:
23 le tsy ho oni’ areo ka o aroñarom-bandeo, ndra ty fisikiliañe; fa havotsoko am-pità’ areo ondatikoo vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
