Ezekiela 14
1 Aa le nivotrahan’ androanavi’ Israele iraho, niambesatse aoloko eo.
Some elders of Israel arrived and sat down with me.
2 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
3 O ana’ ondatio, fa nampionjone’ ondaty retiañe ambone’ o arofo’eo ty haleora’e naho najado’e aolon-dahara’e eo ty vato fitsikapian-kakeo; aa vaho hañontane ahy hao iereo?
“Son of man, these men are worshiping idols in their minds even though they know this will lead them to sin. Why should I respond to their requests?
4 Aa le isaontsio ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Ze ondati’ i anjomba Israele nampitroatse o samposampo’eo an-tro’e ao naho nampijadoñe ty vato-fitsikapian-kakeo’e añ’atrefan-dahara’e eo vaho miheo ami’ty mpitoky mb’eo, le Izaho Iehovà ty hamale i mivotrake eo ty ami’ty hamaro’ o ‘ndrahare’eo,
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: When the people of Israel worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin, and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will give them an answer appropriate to their many idols.
5 handrambesako añ’arofo’e ao ty anjomba’ Israele, amy t’ie songa alik’ amako ty amo samposampo’eo.
Like this I might have the people of Israel decide to recommit themselves to me. Right now, because of their idols, all of them treat me as their enemy.
6 Aa le ano ty hoe i anjomba’ Israeley, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Misolohoa naho miambohoa amo samposampo’ areoo, vaho ampiambohò amo hativà’ areoo o lahara’ areoo.
So tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Repent! Give up worshiping your idols Stop all your disgusting practices.
7 Le ze ondatin’ anjomba’ Israele ndra renetane mañialo e Israele ao fa nivike tsy mañorike ahy naho nampitroatse o ‘ndrahare’eo añ’arofo’e ao, naho nampijadoñe ty vato-fitsikapian-kakeo’e aolon-dahara’e eo, vaho miheo amy mpitokiy hañontane ty amako, le izaho Iehovà ty hamale aze am-batako;
When the people of Israel or foreigners living with them worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself.
8 le hatreatreko am’ondaty izay ty tareheko naho hatroako ho viloñe naho razan-drehake vaho haitoako am’ ondatikoo, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
I will oppose anyone who does this and make any example of them that others will talk about. I will remove them from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 Aa ie nifañahieñe i mpitokiy naho nisaontsie’e i entañey, le Izaho Iehovà ty namañahy i mpitokiy, naho hatorakitsiko ama’e ty tañako vaho ho rotsaheko am’ondatiko Israeleo.
But if the prophet is deceived into giving a message, it was I the Lord who deceived him to do this. I will still reach out and destroy that prophet from my people Israel.
10 Ho vavè’ iareo o tahi’iareo; le ho mira amy hakeo’ i bahimo ama’ey ty tahi’ i mpitokiy,
They will be responsible for the punishment they receive, as will those who believe in these prophets will receive the same punishment.
11 soa tsy handifik’ amako ka ty anjomba’ Israele, naho tsy haniva vatañe amo fiolà’e iabio, f’ie h’ondatiko, vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
This is so that the people of Israel won't abandon me anymore and won't make themselves unclean with all their sins. Then they will be my people and I will be their God, declares the Lord God.”
12 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
A message from the Lord came to me again, saying,
13 O ana’ ondatio, ie mandilatse amako i taney ami’ty halòm-piola’e, naho atorakitsiko ama’e ty tañako hamolahako ty boda-mofo’e naho ampihitrifako hasalikoañe vaho añitoako ondaty naho hare;
“Son of man, if a people in a country sin against me by being unfaithful to me, then I will act against them by cutting off their food supply, so they experience famine, with no food for people or animals.
14 aa ndra te anteñateña’e ao ondaty telo retia: i Nòake, i Daniele, naho Iobe, le ty fiai’ iareo avao ty havotsotse ty amy havantaña’ iareoy, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three men, were present their good lives would only save themselves, declares the Lord God.
15 Aa naho ampirangako bibi-romotse i taney hijoy ampara’ te mangoakoake vaho tsy irangà’ ondaty ty amy bibiy;
I could send wild animals rampaging through the country, so they would leave it uninhabited and desolate, a place no one would travel through for fear of such animals.
16 le ndra te añivo’e ao indaty telo rey, amy te velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, tsy hahahaha o ana-dahi’eo ndra o anak’ampela’eo iereo; fa ty fiai’ i telo rey avao ty ho votsotse, vaho ho rotsaheñe i taney.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would be left desolate.
17 Aa naho handesako fibara i taney vaho hanao ty hoe: O fibarao, irangao o taneo, hañitoako ze ondaty naho biby;
I could bring war to that country and say, ‘Have a sword cut through it,’ so that I destroy both people and animals.
18 le ndra te an-teñateña ao indaty telo rey, amy te Izaho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le tsy hahahaha ndra ana-dahy ndra anak’ampela, fa ty fañova’ iareo avao ty ho haha.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves.
19 Aa naho ampañitrifeko angorosy i taney vaho adoako amy taney ty fiforoforoako an-dio, hañitoako ze ondaty naho biby,
I could send a disease on that country and because of my anger I would kill many, both people and animals.
20 ndra te añivo’e ao t’i Noake naho i Daniele vaho Iobe, amy te velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le tsy hahavotsotse anadahy ndra anak’ ampela iereo fa ty fiai’iareo avao ty ho hahà’ ty havañona’ iareo.
As I live, declares the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were present, they couldn't save their sons or daughters. Their good lives would only save themselves.
21 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Sandrake te ampañitrifeko am’ Ierosalaime o zakako efatse mangirifirio: i fibaray, i hasalikoañey, i biby romotsey, naho i angorosiy, hañitoañe ama’e ze ondaty naho biby.
This is what the Lord God says: It will be so much worse when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease, so that both people and animals are killed!
22 Fa inao! hapoke ao ty sehanga’ o ana-dahy naho anak’ ampelao, ze hakareñe ama’e; hehe! t’ie mb’ ama’ areo mb’eo, le ho isa’ areo ty sata naho fitoloña’ iareo vaho hohòñeñe ty amy hankàñe nafetsako am’ Ierosalaimey, naho ze hene raha nandesako ama’e.
Even so a few of them will survive, some sons and daughters who will be taken captive. They will be brought to you in Babylon, and when you realize what they did and how they acted, you will understand why I had to bring such a disaster down on Jerusalem—everything I did to it.
23 Aa le hohòñe’ iereo nahareo naho oni’ areo ty sata naho fitoloña’e, le ho fohi’ areo te tsy nanoeko tsy amam-poto’e ze he’e nanoeko ama’e, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Realizing what they did and how they acted will help you to see that I had good reasons to do everything I did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord God.”
