Ezekiela 2
1 nanao amako ty hoe, O ana’ ondatio, miongaha am-pandia, le hivolañako.
He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
2 Aa ie nisaontsia’e le nimoak’ amako ty Tioke nampitroatse ahy an-tomboke naho tsinanoko i nitsara amakoy.
While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.
3 Le hoe re tamako, O ana’ondatio, hiraheko mb’ amo ana’ Israeleo irehe, mb’amo fifokoa mpiola niola amakoo; songa niola amako iereo naho o roae’eo, pake henanekeo.
He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.
4 Aa le hiraheko irehe mb’amo ana-dahy gan-tarehe naho fatra-poo, le hoe ty ho asa’o ama’e, Hoe ty nafe’ Iehovà Talè;
The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’
5 aa ke hijanjiñe iereo, he tsy hañaoñe, amy t’ie anjomba mpiola; fe ho oni’iareo te tañivo’iareo ao ty mpitoky.
[when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.
6 Aa ihe ana’ ondatio, ko ihembaña’o, ko irevendreveña’o o saontsi’eo fa mpiola iereo, aa ndra te mpiama’o ty fatike naho hisatse, naho kalengo ty imoneña’o, ko hembaña’o o saontsi’eo, vaho ko miriatsandry aolo’e eo, fa akiba miola iereo.
And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.
7 Le ho taroñe’o am’ iereo o volakoo, ke hijanjiñe he tsy hañaoñe, amy t’ie mpiola.
Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
8 Aa ihe ka, ana’ ondatio, tsendreño ty ho volañeko; ko miola irehe manahake ty fiolà’ i anjomba mpiolay; sokafo ty falie’o, vaho kamao o azotsokoo.
But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”
9 Aa le nenteako te ingo ty fitañe nahitrik’ amako, naho tama’e ao ty boke peleke;
Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
10 navela’e amako, ie sinokitse añ’ate’e naho alafe’e, naho nisokireñ’ ama’e ao ty fandalañe naho ty fihontohañe, vaho ty hankàñe.
He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
