Ezekiela 17
1 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ondatio, taroño ty razan-drehake, naho saontsio tafatoño ty anjomba’ Israele,
"Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
3 ami’ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Nivotrake e Libanone ao ty vantio ra’elahy, amañ’ elatse jabajaba naho elatse lava, nohoñem-bolo maro-volo vaho nipetake an-tsampa’ ty mendorave loho abo;
and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
4 tsinongo’e ty lengo’e naho nente’e mb’ an-tane bey tsena mb’eo; vaho navotra’e an-drovam-pampibalibalik’ ao.
he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
5 Nangala’e ka ty tabiri’ i taney naho tinongi’e an-teteke kobokara ao; napo’e marine rano bei-henehene eo, vaho najado’e hoe solohotse.
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.
6 Nibotiboty re, ninjare vahe maro tsampa’e nandrevake naho petrake, vaho nitolike ama’e o singa’eo, fe ambane’e ao o vaha’eo. Aa le ninjare vahe re; nitirian-tora’e naho nampitakare’e mb’eo mb’eo o singa’eo.
It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 Teo ka ty vantio ra’elahy amañ’ elatse jabajaba naho volo maro; le heheke te natola’ i vahey mb’ama’e o vaha’ eo, vaho nahiti’e mb’ama’e o tora’eo boak’ amy vavahaly namboleañe aze hanondraha’ey.
'"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and look, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
8 Toe nitongise’e an-tane soa marine rano mihenehene, hitiria’ o tora’eo, hiegoego ho vahe soa.
It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."'
9 Ano ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Hiraorao v’izay? Tsy hombota’e hao o vaha’eo naho hampiantoe’e o voa’eo vaho hapo’e hiforejeje—le sindre hiheatse o raven-doha-tao’eo? Le ndra haozaram-bey ndra ondaty mitozantozañe tsy hahafitroats’ aze boak’ ambahatse.
"Say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? And not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.
10 Oniño, t’ie aketsa eo, hihaveloñe hao? Tsy hiheatse amy zao hao naho iozà’ i tiok’atiñanañey? Toe hiforejeje amo vavahaly nitiria’eo.
Yes, look, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew."'"
11 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
12 Saontsio henaneo i anjomba miolay: Fohi’ areo hao ty ango’ i taliliy? Taroño am’ iereo ty hoe: Hehe fa nivotrake e Ierosalaime ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, naho rinambe’e i mpanjaka’ey naho o roandria’eo, vaho nasese’e mindre ama’e mb’e Bavele mb’eo;
"Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Tell them, 'Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon:
13 le rinambe’e ty tiri’ i fifeheañey naho nifañina’e vaho nampifanta’e; fa rinambe’e ka o fanalolahi’ i taneio,
and he took of the royal family, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;
14 soa te hafotsak’ ambane i fifeheañey tsy hiongake ka, soa te ho tana’e ty nifañina’e vaho hirekets’ ama’e.
that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
15 F’ie niola ami’te nirahe’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo o sorotà’eo, hañomeza’ iareo soavala naho ondaty maro. Hiraorao hao re? Hapoke hipoliotse hao ty manao izay? Hadoñe hivongaritse hao i nivalik’ amy fañina’eiy?
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
16 Aa kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le amy fimoneña’ i mpanjaka’ nañoreñ’ aze ho mpanjakay, ie tsinambolitio’e i nifantà’ey naho nifotera’e i fañina’ey, le añivo’ i Bavele ao ty hihomaha’e.
"'As I live,' says YHWH, 'surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Le tsy hahafañolotse aze t’i Parò amo lahin-defoñe mitozantozañeo naho amy valobohò’ey, ie amotria’ iareo tamboho, naho andranjia’e fikalañe fatratse hañitoa’e t’indaty maro,
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.
18 ie nañamavo i fantay, nivalike amy fañinay, naho nanolo-pitàñe mbore nanao ieaby rezay, toe tsy hipoliotse.
For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and look, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.'
19 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Kanao velon-dRaho, le hafoteko añ’ambone’e eo i nifantàko nitsambolitio’ey naho i fañinako navali’ey.
"Therefore thus says YHWH: 'As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.
20 Le halafiko ama’e ty haratoko, naho ho tsepaheñe an-koboko ao, le Izaho ty hanese aze mb’e Bavele añe, hizaka aze amo fandilarañe niolà’e amakoo.
I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
21 Sindre hampikorovohe’ ty fibara o gike ama’eo naho o fonga lahin-defo’eo, naho songa hampiparatsaheñe mb’amo tiokeo mb’eo ze sehanga’e; ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara.
All the choice men among all his troups will fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, YHWH, have spoken it.'
22 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Ho tsongoeko ka ty tora’e an-tiotio’ i talý aboy, naho haoreko; ho harateko boak’ an-tora’e fatratse ty lengo’e maleme, vaho haketsako an-tamboho abo mininginingy ey;
"Thus says YHWH: 'I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:
23 amy vohitse abo’ Israeley ty hamboleako aze le hitiry tsampa’e naho hamoa voa vaho hinjare talý fanjaka; le sindre himoneñ’ ambane’e ao ze karazam-boroñe; naho songa hitsolok’ an-kalo’ o tora’eo ze raha mitiliñe.
in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.
24 Le ho rendre’ ze hene hatae am-patrañe ao te Izaho Iehovà ty nampideboñe i hatae nijoalay, naho naonjoko ty hatae bory; nampiforejejèko ty hatae leñe vaho nampiraoraoeko ty hatae maike; Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara naho nanao.
All the trees of the field shall know that I, YHWH, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, YHWH, have spoken and have done it.'"
