Ezekiela 28
1 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 O ana’ondatio, saontsio ty hoe ami’ty roandria’ i Tsore, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Amy t’ie nañonjoñe ty tro’o, nanao ty hoe: izaho ro ‘ndrahare, mpiambesatse am-piambesan- ndrahare eo, anteñateñan-driak’ ao; te mone ondaty irehe fa tsy Andrianañahare, najado’o ho arofon’añahare ty tro’o;
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 toe mahihitse te amy Daniele irehe; tsy eo ty bisibisike hahafietaha’ iareo ama’o;
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 ami’ty hilala’o naho ami’ty faharendreha’o ty nanontona’o vara, naho namoria’o volamena naho volafoty an-driha’o ao;
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 ty haliforan-kihi’o, o fibalibali’oo ty nampitomboa’o fanaña, vaho mitoabotse ty tro’o ty amo varao.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè amy te nampijadoñe’o ho ndrahare ty tro’o:
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 Ingo arè te hampihitrifeko ama’o ty ambahiny, ondaty maozatse amo kilakila’ ndatio, le ho tarihe’ iereo ami’ty hafanjakan-kihi’o o fibara’eo, vaho ho tivà’ iareo ty fireandrea’o.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Hagado’ iareo mb’an- tsikeokeok’ ao irehe, hihomak’ ami’ty fivetraha’ o zinamañe an-teñateñan-driakeo.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Aa mboe hatao’o añatrefa’ i mpamono azoy hao ty hoe: izaho o ndrahare zao? Ihe ondaty avao, fa tsy Andrianañahare, am-pità’ i mañè-doza ama’oy.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Hikoromak’ ami’ty fivetraha’ o tsy sinavatseo irehe, am-pitàn-ambahiny; amy te Izaho ty mitaroñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 O ana’ondatio, añonjono bekom-pandalàñe ty mpanjaka’ i Tsorey ami’ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Nivolim-pitombon-kafoniran-drehe, nilifo-kilala, vaho niginok’ an-katsomerentserañe.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Te Edene, golobon’Añahare ao irehe, nisikine ze hene vatosoa; ty odeme, ty pit’dà, ty diamondra, ty tarsise, ty sohame, ty iasefè, ty safira, ty nòfeke, ty barekate; vaho nitseneañe ama’o am-bolamena an-tsata’ ty mandolina naho ty soly, amy andro nañoreñañe azoy.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Nimpanàkon-drehe ry kerobe norizañey, Izaho ty nampijadoñ’ azo tamy vohi-masin’ Añaharey; nihelohelo amo vato milebalebao.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Nitalango an-tsata’o iaby boak’ ami’ty andro nañoreñañ’ azo, ampara’ te nitendrek’ ama’o ty hakeo.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Nahalipo-tiñak’ azo ty fitoaboram-pibalibali’o, naho nandilatse irehe; aa le navokovokoko boak’amy vohin’Añaharey, vaho naretsako aman-keloke amo vato milebalebao irehe ry kerobe mpanakoñeo.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Nañonjoñe azo an-tro’o, ty hamotsotsore’oy, naniva azo ty hilala’o ty amy filoeloea’oy; nafetsako an-tane eo irehe; napoko añatrefa’ o mpanjakao, haharendreha’ iareo azo.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Fa nitivae’o i toe’o miavakey amo tahi’o tsifotofotoo, amo hakeom-pibalibali’oo; aa le nañakarako afo boak’am-po’o ao, ze nahaforototo azo, tinenoko ho lavenok’ an-tane eo am-pahaoniña’ ze hene mahaisake.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Songa nilatsa’ ze nahafohiñe azo amo kilakila’ndatio; nivarata irehe vaho tsy ho eo ka.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 O ana’ ondatio ampiatrefo mb’e Tsidone ty lahara’o le mitokia ama’e
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Heheke te miatrek’azo iraho ry Tsidone; le ho rengeñe añivo’o ao iraho; naho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà, ie ametsahako zaka, vaho haveheñe ama’e.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Hañitrifako angorosy naho lio amo lala’eo naho hitsingoritritse añivo’e ao o fereo, ty asam-pibara miarikoboñe aze, vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 Aa le lia’e tsy ho aman-droi-piteke i anjomba’ Israeley, ndra fatike hampinòtse aze boak’ amo mpiarikoboñe malaiñe azeo; vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà Talè.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ie atontoko amo hene nampiparatsiahako aze añeo ty anjomba’ Israele, naho fa nampiavaheko am-pihaino’ o kilakila’ ndatio
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 le himoneña’ iareo i tane natoloko amy mpitoroko Iakobeiy. Hiaiñañoleñañe iereo naho hañoreñe kivoho naho hañalahala tanem-bahe le himoneñ’ an-kanintsiñe ao, ie fa nametsahako zaka o mpamaoke mañohoke iareo vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
