Ezekiela 21
1 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ondatio, ampiatrefo mb’e Ierosalaime ty lahara’o naho tseizo mb’amo toetse miavakeo; mitokia mb’an-tane Israeley,
Therefore prophesy, son of man, set thy face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and thou shalt prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 naho ano ty hoe an-tane Israele ao, Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà: Hiatrek’ azo iraho, naho hapontsoako an-traño’e ty fibarako vaho hapitsoko ama’o ty vaño naho ty tsivokatse.
and thou shalt say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of thee the transgressor and unrighteous.
4 Aa kanao haitoako ama’o ndra ty vantañe ndra ty lo-tsereke, le hiakatse i traño’ey i mesolavay mb’amy ze fonga nofotse boak’ atimo pak’ avarats’ añe;
Because I will destroy out of thee the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
5 vaho ho rendre’ ze atao nofotse iaby te Izaho Iehovà ty nampitsoake fibara amy traño’ey; le tsy hampoliko ka.
and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 Miselekaiña ry ana’ondatio, am-pikoretan-troke, am-pievoñañe mafaitse aolom-pihaino’ iareo eo.
And thou, son of man, groan with the breaking of thy loins; thou shalt even groan heavily in their sight.
7 Aa ie manao ty hoe ama’o iereo, Ino o iselekaiña’oo? le hanoiñe ty hoe irehe, Ty amy talily niazokoy, fa songa hiharofotse ze arofo, sindre higebañe ze fitàñe, sambe hitoirañe ze troke, vaho hene ho letra’e hoe rano ze ongotse. Hehe te hirik’ ao re naho ho heneke hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Wherefore dost thou groan? that thou shalt say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, saith the Lord.
8 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 O ondatio, mitokia ami’ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ty fibara! fa rinañitse i fibaray, vaho nampimilomilotse;
Son of man, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
10 Sinioñe hanjamana’e, nikotriñeñe hitsopelatse hoe helatse! Hirebeke hao tika, anako? Ihe nañovoke ty kobaiñe naho ze atao tsipilo?
that thou mayest slay victims; be sharpened that thou mayest be bright, ready for slaughter, slay, set at nought, despise every tree.
11 Fa natolotse ho kotriñeñe i mesay, ho vontitireñe am-pitañe; fa nisioñeñe, fa mimilomilotse i fibara hatolots’ am-pità’ i mpamonoiy.
And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
12 Miroveta, angololoìho ondatikoo, ry ana’ ondatio, ze hene roandria’ Israeleo, fa nasese am-pibara rekets’ ondatikoo. Hete! Mipaoha fey!
Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap thine hands, for sentence has been passed:
13 Ho pok’ eo ty fitsohañe, aa vaho ho ovohe’e hao ty kobaiñe? tsy hanao izay ka, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, saith the Lord God.
14 O ondatio, mitokia, mitehafa fità am-pitàñe, ampandafao fañintelo’e ty fibara, i fibara’ o hanjevoñañeoy, i fibaram-panjevoñam-bey hañarikatoke iareoy,
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and clap thine hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and thou shalt strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
15 hampitranake arofo, ie maro ty hitsikapy naho hikorovoke, t’ie ampiatrefeko ami’ty lengom-pibara an-dalambei’ iareo iaby. Hehe te nampimilemilereñe, nisioñeñe hanjamañe.
and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
16 Lafao mb’ ankavana, paoho mb’ankavia! ndra aia’aia ty añohara’ i lelam-pibara’oy.
And do thou go on, sharpen thyself on the right and on the left whithersoever thy face may set itself.
17 Izaho ka ro hampipeke tañañe hañenefañe ty fifomboko; Izaho Iehovà ty nivolañe.
And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it].
18 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
19 O ‘ndatio, tendreo lalañe roe horihe’ i fibaram-panjaka’ i Baveley; songa mfototse amy taney añe. Andranjio pilàke amy tsempa’e mitsile mb’amy rovaiy mb’eo;
and thou, son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, thou shalt set [it] at the top of the way,
20 atorò ty lalañe homba’ i fibaray mb’amy Raba’ o nte-Amoreo mb’eo naho mb’e Iehodà am’ Ierosalaime nifatrareñey mb’eo.
that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
21 Fa mijohañe am-pitsileañe eo ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, misikily, akatrokatro’e o ana-paleo, imanea’e ontane ty saren-draha, biribirie’e ty ate.
For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
22 Tsatok’ am-pità’e havana ao ty tamben-kizè’ Ierosalaime, hampitroara’e famofohan-dalañe, hikaike fanjamanañe, hikoike aly, hampirampia’e bodam-pamofohañe an-dalambey eo, naho hamotry fanongàñe vaho handranjy rafem-panameañe.
On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
23 Toe hatao’ iereo t’ie sikily vìlañe, ty amo nanao fanta jadoñeo; f’ie nampitiahieñe o hakeoo, hitsepahañe iareo.
And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
24 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Kanao nitiahie’areo o hamengoha’areoo, ie afa-domboke o tahi’areoo, naho zoeñe amo sata’areo iaby o hakeo’areoo. Amy te fa nitiahieñe nahareo, le fa rinambe am-pitañe.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because ye have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because ye have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall ye be taken.
25 Le ihe ry roandria lo-tsere’ Israele, fa tondroke i andro’oy, an-tsa’ hampigadoñan-kakeo,
And thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus saith the Lord;
26 hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè, Endaho i sabakay, afaho i halam-bolamenay; tsy ho tambatse eo henaneo. Aonjoñe i epakey, afotsake i mitiotiotsey.
Thou hast taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: thou hast abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.
27 Hafoteko, hafoteko, hafoteko le tsy hanoeñe ka! ampara’ te totsak’ eo ty manan-jo hanolorako Aze.
Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.
28 Aa ihe, ana’ ondatio, mitokia, le ano ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè ty amo ana’ i Amoneo, ty amy fañinjea’ iareoy, ty hoe: Ry fibara, ry fibara tsinoake hanjamañe: nikotriñeñe hamongotse, pak’ am-para’e, ty amy fimilomilora’ey.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that thou mayest gleam.
29 Ie taroñen’ aroñarom-bìlan-drehe, anikiliañe vande, hampipetahañe azo am-pititiha’ o lo-tsereke ho vonoeñeo, ie fa tsatoke ty andro’ iareoo, an-tsam-pigadoñan-kaloloañe.
While thou art seeing vain [visions], and while thou art prophesying falsehoods, to bring thyself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
30 Ampolio an-traño-meso’e ao re! Amy namoroñañe azoy, an-tane nihirifa’o añe ty hizakako azo.
Turn, rest not in this place wherein thou wert born: in thine own land will I judge thee.
31 Hakofòko ama’o ty hatorifihako, ho tiofeko ama’o ty afom-piforoforoako, naho haseseko am-pità’ ondaty bibi’e, za-panjevoñañe.
And I will pour out my wrath upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver thee into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction.
32 Ho fandrehetañ’ afo irehe, ho añivon-tane ao ty lio’o, tsy ho tiahy ka, fa Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara.
Thou shalt be fuel for fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of thy land; there shall be no remembrance at all of thee: for I the Lord have spoken [it].
