Ezekiela 14
1 Aa le nivotrahan’ androanavi’ Israele iraho, niambesatse aoloko eo.
One day some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me.
2 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then Yahweh gave me this message:
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?
“You human, these men want to [IDM] worship idols, and they are allowing idols to induce them to sin [IDM]. So I will certainly [RHQ] answer them if they ask me for advice.
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 say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: When any Israeli person wants to worship idols which will induce him to sin, and he goes to a [to get advice], I, Yahweh, will give him the answer that he deserves to receive because he worship idols.
5 handrambesako añ’arofo’e ao ty anjomba’ Israele, amy t’ie songa alik’ amako ty amo samposampo’eo.
[I will do that] in order that the Israeli people, who have abandoned me in order to worship their idols, will sincerely [IDM] worship me again.’
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.
Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: (Repent/Stop sinning)! Stop worshiping your idols, and stop all your [other] detestable behavior!’
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 any of [you] Israeli people or any foreigner living among you turns away from me and starts worshiping idols [IDM] that induce him to sin, and then goes to a prophet to find out what I want him to do, I myself will answer him.
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 show that I detest him, and [what happens to] him to be a warning [to others], and cause him to be someone whom people despise. I will cause him to no longer be allowed to associate with my people. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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.
And if a prophet is deceived and gives a false prophecy, [even though] I [allowed him to] give that message, I will get rid of him and remove him from among my Israeli people.
10 Ho vavè’ iareo o tahi’iareo; le ho mira amy hakeo’ i bahimo ama’ey ty tahi’ i mpitokiy,
Both the prophet and the one who asks him for advice will be guilty, [and I will punish both of them].
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.
Then you Israeli people will no longer abandon me, and you will no longer become unacceptable to me because of your sins. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, say.”
12 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
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;
“You human, [the people of some] country sin against me by abandoning me, and I punish [IDM] them by cutting off their food supply and by sending a famine, with the result that people and animals die,
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 were there, they would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
15 Aa naho ampirangako bibi-romotse i taney hijoy ampara’ te mangoakoake vaho tsy irangà’ ondaty ty amy bibiy;
Or, if I send wild animals throughout the country, and they attack and [many of] [HYP] the people, with the result that travel in that country becomes very dangerous and no one travels through that country,
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 surely] as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they could not save [even their own] sons or [from being killed]. Only those [three] would (be saved/remain alive), and the country would become desolate. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
17 Aa naho handesako fibara i taney vaho hanao ty hoe: O fibarao, irangao o taneo, hañitoako ze ondaty naho biby;
Or, if I bring enemy soldiers [MTY] to attack that country, and they kill [MTY] people and animals throughout that country with their swords,
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 surely as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they would not be able to save even their own sons or [from being killed]. They would save only themselves. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.
19 Aa naho ampañitrifeko angorosy i taney vaho adoako amy taney ty fiforoforoako an-dio, hañitoako ze ondaty naho biby,
Or, if I send a plague into that land and cause the people and the animals to [from the plague] because I am very angry with those people,
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 surely] as I am alive, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in that country, they would not [be able to] save even their sons and daughters. They would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
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.
So [now] this is what [I, ], Yahweh the Lord, say: I will cause four things to happen to [the people of] Jerusalem to punish them very severely. [Some] people and animals will be killed by swords, [some will die from] famines, [others will be attacked and killed by] wild animals, and [others will die in] plagues.
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.
But some [of your people] will remain alive, [both adults] and children. They will come to you, [Ezekiel, in Babylon]. And when you see [disgusting] behavior and actions, you will realize that I had good reasons for causing [the people of] Jerusalem to experience those many great disasters [DOU] that I have sent to them.
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.
When you see those things that they do, you will know that there were very good reasons [LIT] for me to do everything that I caused to happen to them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
