< Ezekiela 23 >

1 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh said to me,
2 O ana’ondatio, teo ty ampela roe niharo rene,
“You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3 songa nanao hakarapiloañe e Mitsraime añe, nanao hatsimirirañe ami’ty hasomondrara’e; tinindry añe o nono’eo naho vinonotroboke o loha-nonon-kasomondrara’eo.
They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
4 Ty añara’ iareo: Oholà ty zoke’e naho Oholibà ty zai’e; tamako iereo, naho nisamak’ ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela. Ty añara’eo: I Somerone t’i Oholà vaho Ierosalaime t’i Oholibà.
The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5 Aa le nanao hakarapiloañe t’i Oholà, ie tamako ro ninenakena’e o sakeza’eo, o nte-Asore marine azeo,
Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
6 o nisikiñe mangao, ty mpifehe naho ty mpameleke, sindre ajalahy maràm-bintañe, mpiningi-tsoa­vala.
[Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
7 Aa le nifandrantoa’e, ondaty volovoloeñe amo nte-Asoreo, ze hene ondaty nikokoa’e; vaho nandeo-batan-dre amo fonga samposampo’eo.
She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
8 Toe tsy napo’e o hakarapiloa’e nanoe’e e Mitsraime añeo; ie niolotse am’iereo te mbe an-katòra’e, naho vinonotrobo’ iereo o nonon-kasomondrara’eo, vaho naobo’ iareo ama’e ty hakarapiloa’ iareo.
When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
9 Aa le naseseko am-pità’ o sakeza’eo, am-pità o nte-Asore nikokoa’eo.
So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
10 Nampikorendahe’ iereo ty heña’e; tinava’ iareo o ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’eo vaho vinono’ iereo am-pibara; ninjare tolom-bolan-drakemba i zaka nafetsa’ iareo ama’ey.
They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
11 Ie nirendre’ i Oholibà, le nili­koara’e ty zoke’e ami’ty hatea’e vìlañe naho ami’ty haloloan-kakà­ra­piloa’e;
[younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
12 nikenakenahe’e o nte-Asore mpirañe’eo, o mpifehe naho mpamelek’ an-tsikim-panjakao, o mpinday soavala miningi-tsoavalao, songa ajalahy soa-vintañe.
Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
13 Nizoeko amy zao re te naleotse, te songa lalan-draike ty nitsilea’ iareo roroe,
I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
14 naho t’ie nampitoabotse o hakarapiloa’eo amy naharendreha’e sare lahilahy sinokitse an-drindriñey, saren-te-Kasdy nilokoeñe an­tsetra,
But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
15 misadia o toha’eo, sabaka mirebareba ty añ’ ambone’e eo, songa hoe ana-donake, hambam-bintañ’ amo nte-Bavele nisamak’ an-tanen-te-Kasdý añeo,
The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
16 le nitsinginiotse am’ iareo re te niisam-pihaino’e, le nampihitrife’e mb’am’ iereo an-Kasdy añe.
As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
17 Nomb’ ama’e mb’ eo o nte-Baveleo nifandia-tihy ama’e, naniva aze ami’ ty hakarapiloañe, le naleotse ty ama’e vaho nivitsok’ am’ iereo ty tro’e.
Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
18 Aa le niborahe’e o hakarapiloa’eo vaho naboa’e ty heña’e; vaho nialik’ ama’e iraho, hambañe ami’ty nialiha’ ty troko amy zoke’ey.
But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
19 Mbore nampitomboe’e o hakarapiloa’eo ie nitiahi’e o andron-kasomondrara’eo, ie nanao hatsimirirañe an-tane Mitsraime añe.
But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 Aa le nireñele amo hamaromaso’eo, ie hoe nofom-borìke ty nofo’ iareo naho hoe rom-pilahian-tsoavala ty niakatse am’ iareo.
There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
21 Nitiahi’o ty haloloan-kasomondrara’o, ie vinonotrobo’ o nte-Mitsraimeo o loha-nono’oo naho o nonon-kasomondrara’oo.
So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
22 Ie amy zao ry Oholibà, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao, hatroako ama’o o sakeza’oo, o nampipi­tsoke ty fikokoa’oo vaho hampiatreatreko azo, ie boak’ añ’ ila’o iaby,
“[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
23 o nte-Baveleo, naho o nte-Kasdy iabio, o roandriañeo, naho o mpifeheo, naho ze hene nte-Asore rekets’ ama’eo; ie songa ajalahy maràm-bintañe; sindre mpifehe naho mpameleke vaho mpanjaka bey fiaintane; fonga mpiningitse soavala.
soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
24 Ie haname azo am-pialiañe, an-tsarete, an-dogidogy vaho an-dahiale, hamalañe azo am-pi­ka­lan-defo naho am-pikalam-pibara, vaho an-tsabaka iaby, le hafantoko am’ iereo ty zaka vaho ho zakae’ iereo irehe amo lili’ iareoo.
Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
25 Hampiatreatreko ama’o ty farahiko naho ampiondroñondroñañe ty hanamea’ iareo azo; hampipi­tsohe’ iareo o fiantsoña’oo naho o ravembia’oo; hampikorovohem-pibara ze sisa ama’o; hasese’ iareo añe o ana-dahi’oo naho o anak’ ampela’oo; vaho ho tomontoñe’ ty afo o sehanga’oo.
Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
26 Hampikorendahe’ iareo o siki’oo vaho ho tavane’ iereo o rava’o fanjakao.
They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
27 Aa le hagadoko ty haloloa’o, naho o hakarapiloa’o boak’an-tane Mitsraime añeo, tsy hiandrà’o maso, tsy ho tiahi’o ka t’i Mitsraime.
In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
28 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao! hase­seko am-pità’ o malaiñ’ azoo irehe, am-pitàñe mampangorìñe ty tro’o;
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
29 le hanoe’e am-palai-mena irehe naho ho fonga tavane’ iareo o fitoloña’oo vaho hado’ iareo mihalo naho mijageanjageañe; le hendaheñe hiboridañe ty hakarapiloa’o, ty haloloa’o naho o hatsimirirà’oo.
They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
30 Hanoeko ama’o i rezay ami’ty nandenà’o mbeo’ mbeo nanao hakarapiloañe amo kilakila’ ndatio naho t’ie naniva vatañe amo samposampo’ iareoo.
It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
31 Kanao norihe’ o i satan-joke’oy, le hadoko an-taña’o eo i fitovi’ey.
You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
32 Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hinome’o i fitovin-joke’o laleke naho mangorabakey; ho fitohàfañe naho fandrabioñañe amy t’ie pea mitepatepa.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
33 Ho lipore’ ty hamamoañe naho ty fanaintaiñan-drehe ty amy fitovin-kalatsañe naho firotsahañey, i fitovin-joke’o Someroney.
When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
34 Toe hinome’o naho ho kapaihe’o, ho tantae’o ty hara’e vaho ho rangote’o o nono’oo; fa nitaron-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
35 Le inay ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Amy te nandikofa’o iraho vaho nahifi’o am-boho’o ao, le vaveo o haloloa’oo naho o hakarapiloa’oo.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
36 Le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà amako; O ana’ ondatio, Ho zakae’o hao t’i Oholà naho i Oholibà, hitaroña’o o hativa’ iareoo?
Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
37 T’ie nanao havambàñe, le am-pità’ iareo eo ty lio, nanao hakarapiloañe amo samposampo’eo, mbore nampiarie’ iareo añ’afo ao o ana-dahy sinama’ iareo amakoo, habotse’e.
[It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
38 Tinovo’ iareo amako te nileore’ iareo amy andro zay avao i toeko miavakey vaho tiniva’ iareo o Sabatekoo.
They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
39 Amy t’ie vinono’ iareo amo samposampo’ iareoo o ana-dahi’eo le nimoake amy toeko miavakey amy àndroy avao, naniva aze; vaho hehe te añivo’ i kivohokoy ty nanoa’ iereo izay,
On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
40 vaho nampihitrife’o mb’ama’o ondaty boake tsietoitane añeo; ie nañiraha’o, le nito­tsake eo iereo, ie niandroa’o, nitentea’o maso naho niravaha’o bangebange,
They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
41 le nitobok’ an-tihy fanjaka eo irehe, ie nañalankañe fandambañañe aolo’e eo, le napò’o ama’e ty ­rameko naho o solikoo.
They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
42 Tama’e ao ty nijanjiñañe ty feom-balobohòke am-bodomomok’ ao; le nendeseñe ho mpiamo lahilahy tea vintañeo, o jike boak’ am-patrañe añeo, niravahe’ iareo o fità’eo vaho sinabaka’ iareo halan-engeñe ty añambone’ iareo.
Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Le hoe iraho t’ie nimokora’ i hakarapiloa’eiy, Aa vaho mbe hañarapilo ka iareo?
Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
44 amy te nivotrak’ ama’e iereo hoe mpipay tsimirirañe, izay ty niharoa’ iareo tihy amy Oholà naho i Oholibà, i hakalalijahan-drakemba rey.
So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
45 Aa le ho zakae’ ondaty vantañeo iereo amy lili’ o vinambaoy, naho amy lilin-drakemba mampiori-dioy, amy t’ie nanao havambàñe vaho am-pità’ iareo ty lio.
But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
46 Aa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; hase­seko am’ iereo ty lahialeñe, le hatoloko haronjeronje vaho ho kopaheñe.
So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
47 Ho retsahe’ i lahialeñey vato, naho hizamañe am-pibara; hampibaibai’ iareo o ana’ dahi’eo naho o anak’ ampela’eo vaho hamorototo o anjomba’ iareoo amañ’ afo.
The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
48 Izay ty hanjihera­ko ty fandratoañe amy taney, soa hene hanareñe o ampelao tsy hañorike ty fandratoa’ areo.
In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
49 Le hondroha’ iareo ama’ areo ty haloloa’ areo, naho ho vavè’ areo ty hakeo’ o samposampo’ areoo; vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Talè.
[people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
