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.
In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me.
2 Niheo amako amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh’s word came to 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 to the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’
4 Te hizaka iareo hao irehe? Ho zakae’o hao, ry ana’ ondaty? Tohino ami’ty haloloan-droae’ iareo:
“Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? 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;
Tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, ‘I am Yahweh 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,
in that day I swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
7 le hoe iraho am’ iereo, Fonga ahifiho añe ze hativañe mahasinda fihaino, vaho ko mileotse amo samposampo’ i Mitsraimeo; Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Yahweh 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 wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle 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 worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10 Aa le nakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao vaho nenteko mb’am-patrambey añe;
So I caused them to go 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.
I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.
12 Nitolorako o Sabatekoo ka ho viloñe añivo’ iareo naho Izaho, haharendreha’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà ro Mpampiavake iareo.
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies 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. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 F’ie nitoloñeko avao tsy ho tivàñe añatrefa’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty añarako, ie am-pahaoniña’ iareo ty nañakarako iareo.
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
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;
Moreover also I swore to 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 the glory of all lands,
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 they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17 Ie amy hoe zay, niferenaiña’ o masokoo le tsy nizamaneko, vaho tsy nimongoreko am-patrambey añe;
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full 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.
I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo. Mañaveloa amo fañèkoo, ambeno o fepèkoo vaho ano;
I am Yahweh your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.
20 hamasiño o Sabotsekoo; ie viloñe añivoko naho nahareo, hahafohina’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh 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.
“‘“But the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish 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,
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
23 Toe nizonjoñako sira ka am-patrambey añe nifanta t’ie haparatsiako amo kilakila’ ndatio vaho haboeleko añivo’ o fifeheañeo;
Moreover I swore to 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 they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Ie amy zay, tinoloko fañè tsy ho lefe, naho fepè tsy mahaveloñe,
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they couldn’t live.
26 le nileorako amo banabana’ iareoo, ie nampirangà’ iareo añ’afo ao ze manoka-koviñe, hampangoakoahako iareo, vaho hahafohiñe te Izaho Iehovà.
I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh.”’
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, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed 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.
For when I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There they also made their pleasant aroma, and there they poured out 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 I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called Bamah to 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 tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
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.
When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not 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.
“‘“That which comes into your mind will not be at all, in that you say, ‘We will be as the nations, as the families of the 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,” says the Lord Yahweh, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king 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.
I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
35 Le haseseko mb’am-patrambei’ ondatio mb’eo, vaho ao ty hizakàko tarehe miatre-daharañe,
I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 manahake ty nizakako o roae’ areo am-patram-bei’ i Mitsraimeo, izay ty hañodiako anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
37 Le hampiarieko ambane kobaiñe; naho haseseko mb’ami’ty fifehea’ i fañinay ao;
“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.
I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”
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, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name 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 in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, 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.
I will accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in you in the sight 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.
You will know that I am Yahweh when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give 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.
There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you 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.
You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
45 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh’s word came to 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 your face 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.
Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word: The Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
48 Le ho oni’ ze hene nofotse te Izaho Iehovà ro namiañe aze; ie le lia’e tsy ho vonoeñe.
All flesh will see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it. It will 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 I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’”
