< Ezekiela 20 >
1 Tamy andro faha-folo’ i volam-paha-lime’ i taom-paha-fitoy, le nivotrak’ amako ty ila’ o androanavi’ Israeleo hañontane Iehovà, vaho niambesatse aoloko eo.
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain men of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and they sat down before me.
2 Niheo amako amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
3 O ana’ ondatio, misaontsia amo androanavi’ Israeleo ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Niheo mb’etoy hao nahareo hañontane ahy? Amy te Izaho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, tsy hañontanea’ areo.
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Is it to inquire of me that ye are coming? as I live, I will not let myself be inquired of by you, saith the Lord Eternal.
4 Te hizaka iareo hao irehe? Ho zakae’o hao, ry ana’ ondaty? Tohino ami’ty haloloan-droae’ iareo:
Wilt thou take them to task, wilt thou take them to task, son of man? then cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
5 Le ano ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Amy andro nijoboñeko Israeley, naho nañonjon-tsirañ’ ami’ty tirin’ anjomba’ Iakobe, naho nampahafohineko iareo iraho an-tane Mitsraime añe, ie nañonjonako sirañe, nanao ty hoe: Izaho Iehovà ro Andrianañahare’ areo;
And say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day when I made choice of Israel, I lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and I made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt: and I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I am the Lord your God.
6 amy andro nizonjoako sirañe am-panta t’ie hakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao pak’an-tane nihentseñeko ho a iareo, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele, ty loho fanjaka amy ze hene tane,
On the same day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them forth from the land of Egypt into a land that I had selected for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is an ornament among all the countries.
7 le hoe iraho am’ iereo, Fonga ahifiho añe ze hativañe mahasinda fihaino, vaho ko mileotse amo samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
And I said unto them, Cast ye away every one of the abominations of his eyes, and on the idols of Egypt shall ye not defile yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
8 F’ie niola amako, toe nanjehatse, songa tsy nimete nañifike ty hativañe am-pihaino’e, naho tsy napo’ iareo o samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; aa le hoe iraho, hakofòko am’ iereo ty fiforoforoako, vaho ho henefako ama’e ty habosehako añivo-tane Mitsraime ao.
But they rebelled against me, and they would not hearken unto me; they did not cast away every one the abominations of their eyes, and the idols of Egypt did they not forsake: and I thought then to pour out my fury over them, to let out all my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 Ie amy zao, ty añarako ro nitoloñako, tsy ho tivaeñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndaty añivo’ iareoo, ie aolo’ iareo eo ty nampahafohineko ahy, amy nampiakareñe iereo an-tane Mitsraimey.
But I acted for the sake of my name, so as not to profane it before the eyes of the nations, in the midst of whom they were; because I had made myself known unto them before their eyes, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Aa le nakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao vaho nenteko mb’am-patrambey añe;
I therefore caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 le nitolorako o fañèkoo vaho nitaroñako o fepèkoo, o mahaveloñe ondaty mañavelo ama’eoo.
And I gave them my statutes, and my ordinances made I known to them, which a man is to do, that he may live through them.
12 Nitolorako o Sabatekoo ka ho viloñe añivo’ iareo naho Izaho, haharendreha’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà ro Mpampiavake iareo.
And also my sabbaths gave I unto them, to be as a sign between me and between them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctify them.
13 Fe niola amako an-dratraratra añe ty anjomba’Israele; tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, naho nimavoe’ iereo o fepèkoo, o maha-veloñe ondatio t’ie ambenañe, vaho loho nitivà’ iareo o Sabatekoo; aa le hoe iraho: Hakofòko am’ iereo ty haviñerako am-patram-bey añe le ho mongoreko.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness; in my statutes they walked not, and my ordinances they despised, which a man is to do, that he may live through them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I then thought to pour out my fury over them in the wilderness, to make an end of them.
14 F’ie nitoloñeko avao tsy ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty añarako, ie am-pahaoniña’ iareo ty nañakarako iareo.
But I acted for the sake of my name, so as not to profane it before the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them forth.
15 Aa le mbe nazonjoko am’ iereo am-patrañe ao ty tañako naho nifanta te tsy hampiziliheko amy tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele natoloko iareoy—ty enge’ ze hene tane;
Yet did I also lift up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which is an ornament among all the countries.
16 amy te nitsambolitio’ iareo o fepèkoo naho tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, te mone tiniva’ iareo o Sabatekoo; ie nañorike samposampon-draha ty arofo’ iareo.
Because my ordinances they had despised, and in my statutes they had not walked, and my sabbaths they had profaned; for after their idols did their heart go.
17 Ie amy hoe zay, niferenaiña’ o masokoo le tsy nizamaneko, vaho tsy nimongoreko am-patrambey añe;
Nevertheless my eye looked pityingly on them, so as not to destroy them, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.
18 fa hoe iraho amo ana’eo an-dratraratra añe: Ko añaveloa’ areo o fañèn-droae’ areoo le ko ambena’ areo o fepè’eo vaho ko mandeo-batañe amo samposampo’ iareoo.
And I said unto their children in the wilderness, In the statutes of your fathers shall ye not walk, and their ordinances shall ye not keep, and on their idols shall ye not defile yourselves.
19 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo. Mañaveloa amo fañèkoo, ambeno o fepèkoo vaho ano;
I am the Lord your God: in my statutes must ye walk, and my ordinances must ye keep, and do them;
20 hamasiño o Sabotsekoo; ie viloñe añivoko naho nahareo, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
And my sabbaths must ye sanctify; and they shall be as a sign between me and between you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.
21 Ndra te izay, niola amako o ana’eo: tsy nañavelo amo fañèkoo, tsy nañambeñe o fepèkoo hanoeñe, o mahaveloñe ondaty t’ie anoeñe, vaho nileora’ iareo o Sabotsekoo; le hoe iraho: ho nadoako am’ iereo am-patrambey ao ty fiforoforoako hampanintsiñe ty habosehako.
Nevertheless the children rebelled against me; in my statutes did they not walk, and my ordinances they kept not to do them, which a man is to do, that he may live through them; my sabbaths they profaned: and I then thought to pour out my fury over them, to let out all my anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Fe sinintoko ty tañako naho nañalañalañe ty amy añarakoy tsy mone ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio, ie am-pahaoniña’e eo ty nañakarako iareo,
But I withdrew my hand, and acted for the sake of my name, so as not to profane it before the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them forth.
23 Toe nizonjoñako sira ka am-patrambey añe nifanta t’ie haparatsiako amo kilakila’ ndatio vaho haboeleko añivo’ o fifeheañeo;
I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
24 amy te tsy nanoe’ iereo o fepèkoo, naho tsinambolitio’ iereo o fañèkoo, naho tiniva’ iareo o Sabatekoo, vaho norihem-pihaino’ iareo o samposampon-droae’eo.
Because my ordinances they had not executed, and my statutes they had despised, and my sabbaths they had profaned, and after the idols of their fathers their eyes were directed.
25 Ie amy zay, tinoloko fañè tsy ho lefe, naho fepè tsy mahaveloñe,
And I also let them follow statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they could not live;
26 le nileorako amo banabana’ iareoo, ie nampirangà’ iareo añ’afo ao ze manoka-koviñe, hampangoakoahako iareo, vaho hahafohiñe te Izaho Iehovà.
And I let them be defiled through their gifts, in that they caused to pass [through the fire] all that openeth the womb, in order that I might destroy them, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.
27 Ie amy zay, ry ana’ondaty, misaontsia amy anjomba’ Israeley le ano ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao ka ty niterateràn-droae’ areo ahy ie niola amako hoe zao,
Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, O son of man, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Yet in this too did your fathers blaspheme me, by their committing a trespass against me:
28 ie naseseko an-tane nañonjonako sirañe hanolorako iareo, naho niisa’ iareo ze hene haboañe naho hatae mandrevake naho nañenga soroñe ey, naho nibanabana enga hanigiha’ iareo ahy, nañemboke ty mandrifondrifoñe, vaho nañiliñ’ engan-drano.
When I had brought them into the land, for which I had lifted up my hand to give it to them, they saw every high hill, and all the thick-branched trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and presented there their provoking offerings, and they brought there their sweet savor, and poured out there their drink-offerings.
29 Aa le nanoeko ty hoe, Inoñe ze o haboañe omba’ areo zao? Vaho natao Bamà ty añara’ i aoy ampara henaneo.
Then said I unto them, What is this high-place whereunto ye go? And its name was called “The height” until this day.
30 Aa le ano ty hoe i Anjomba’ Israeley, Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hera nileore’ ty satan-droae’ areo? Ke manao hakarapiloañe manahake ty hativa’ iareo?
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Ha! do you pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers; and after their abominations do ye go astray?
31 Ie mañenga, naho ampirangà’ areo añ’afo o ana-dahi’ areoo, naho mandeo-batañe amo samposampo’ areoo pake henane; aa vaho hañontanea’ areo hao iraho ry anjomba’ Israele? Amy te Izaho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, tsy hañontanea’ areo.
And when ye offer up your gifts, when ye make your sons pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even until this day: and I should allow myself to be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I will not let myself be inquired of by you.
32 Le lia’e tsy hipaoke o fitsakorea’ areoo ie atao’ areo ty hoe: Hitsikombe o kilakila’ndatio tika, o fifokoam-pifeheañe mitoroñe vato naho hataeo.
And that which cometh up into your mind shall not at all come to pass, [namely, ] that ye say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the [other] countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 Kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, toe an-taña maozatse naho an-tsira natora-kitsy naho am-pifombo nadoañe, le tsy mahay tsy ho feheko nahareo;
As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, surely, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
34 le hakareko am’ ondatio naho hatontoko boak’ amo fifeheañe nampiparatsiahañe anahareo, an-taña maozatse naho an-tsira natorakitsy vaho am-pifombo nadoañe.
And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with [my] fury poured out.
35 Le haseseko mb’am-patrambei’ ondatio mb’eo, vaho ao ty hizakàko tarehe miatre-daharañe,
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and I will hold judgment over you there, face to face.
36 manahake ty nizakako o roae’ areo am-patram-bei’ i Mitsraimeo, izay ty hañodiako anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
As I held judgment over your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I hold judgment over you, saith the Lord Eternal.
37 Le hampiarieko ambane kobaiñe; naho haseseko mb’ami’ty fifehea’ i fañinay ao;
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
38 naho ho tranaheko ama’ areo ao o mpiolao naho o nikitrok’ ahio; hakareko amy tane nitaveaña’ iareo fa tsy himoake an-tane’ Israele ao, vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
And I will separate from you those that have rebelled, and those that have transgressed against me: out of the country where they sojourn will I cause them to go forth, but into the land of Israel shall not one [of them] enter; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
39 Aa inahareo ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Akia songa mitoroñe o samposampo’eo, ndra t’ie nainai’e, naho tsy te hañaoñe ahy, fe ko tiva’ areo amo enga’ areo naho samposampo’ areoo ty añarako masiñe.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name do not profane any more with your gifts, and with your idols.
40 Fa amy vohin-kamasiñako an-kaboa’ Israele eoy, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, eo ty hitoroña’ ze hene anjomba’ Israele ahy amy taney, ie iaby amy taney ao; le ao ty hiantofako iereo, le ao ty hipaiako ty enga’ areo, ty loha-voa banabanae’ areo, miharo amo harao’ areo miavakeo.
For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal, there shall serve me all the house of Israel, altogether, in the land: there will I accept them in favor, and there will I require your heave-offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
41 Ho noko ty amo raha marifondrifoñeo nahareo, ie fa nakareko am’ ondatio, naho fa natontoko amo fifeheañe nampiparatsiahañeo; vaho havahe’ areo iraho am-pihaino’ o kilakila’ ndatio.
With your sweet savor will I accept you in favor, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered: and I will be sanctified through you before the eyes of the nations.
42 Le ho fohi’ areo te izaho Iehovà ie haseseko mb’an-tane’ Israele mb’amy fifeheañe nañonjonako sirañe hanolorako aze aman-droae’ areo añey.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I have lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.
43 Eo ty hahatiahia’ areo o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areo iabio, o nandeotse anahareoo; toe hampangorý anahareo ty sandri’ areo ampahaisaha’ areo ty amo haloloañe nanoe’ areoo.
And ye shall remember there your ways, and all your doings, whereby ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves, because of all your evil deeds that ye have committed.
44 Le ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, ty nañalañalañe ho anahareo ty amy añarakoy, fa tsy ty amo halò-tsere’ areoo naho tsy ty amo fitoloña’ areo maleotseo, ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for the sake of my name, not in accordance with your wicked ways, and in accordance with your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal.
45 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
46 O ana’ ondatio, ampiatrefo miañatimo ty lahara’o le mitaroña mañatimo vaho mitokia amy alay naho amy tane atimoy;
Son of man, set thy face in the direction toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south.
47 le ty hoe ty hataro’o amy ala atimoy, Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà. Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ingo te hamiañe afo ama’o iraho, hamorototo ze hatae antsetra ama’o ao naho ze hatae maike; tsy hakipeke i lel’afo mibelabelay le ho mae iaby ze tarehe atimo pak’ avaratse añe.
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the glowing flame shall not be quenched, and there shall be burnt therein all faces from the south to the north.
48 Le ho oni’ ze hene nofotse te Izaho Iehovà ro namiañe aze; ie le lia’e tsy ho vonoeñe.
And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Aa le hoe ty asako, Ry Iehovà Talè! Ty hoe ty asa’ iareo ty amako: Tsy mpandrazan-drehake hao re?
Then said I, Ah Lord Eternal! they say of me, Behold, he speaketh but in parables!
