Ezekiela 3
1 Le hoe re tamako, O ana’ ondatio, kamao o zoe’oo, kamao ty boke peleke toy, vaho akia misaontsia añ’anjomba Israele.
And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
2 Aa le sinokako ty vavako vaho nafantso’e ahy i pelekey.
And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
3 Le hoe re amako, O ana’ ondatio, ampihinano ty sarotro’o, vaho atsafo an-tsarotro’o ao ty peleke atoloko azo toy. Aa le nihaneko; vaho nimamy hoe tantele am-bavako ao.
And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Le hoe re amako, O ana’ ondatio, akia mimoaha añ’ anjomba’ Israele ao vaho isaontsio o fivolakoo.
And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
5 Tsy nahitrike am’ ondaty lale-drehake ndra saro-pisaontsio irehe, fa mb’amy anjomba’ Israeley;
For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
6 tsy amo kilakila’ ondaty aman-dañonañe miheotseo, ndra amam-pivola-aliheñe tsy haharendreha’o ty saontsi’e. Aa naho nampihitrifeko amy zay, toe ho nañaoñe azo iereo.
Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
7 Fe tsy te hijanjiñ’ azo i anjomba’ Israeley; amy t’ie tsy te hijanjiñ’ ahy; songa mamporohotse naho gan-troke ty anjomba’ Israele.
But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
8 Ingo te nampiontsoñontsoñeko ty lahara’o hatreatrè’o ty lahara’ iareo, naho nanoeko gañe ty fatram-bei’o hiatreatrea’e ty panda’ iareo.
See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
9 Mira ami’ty hamafen-tsafira te amo vato-pilakeo ty nanoeko ty fatram-bei’o; ko lonjetse amo fangarefa’ iareoo, ndra t’ie akiba-piola.
Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
10 Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Rambeso añ’arofo’o ao naho janjiño an-dravembia’o ze hene tsara ho taroñeko;
Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
11 akia mimoaha añivo’ o mpirohio naho saontsio vaho talilio, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè—ke hijanjiñe iereo, he tsy hañaoñe.
And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
12 Aa le rinambe’ i Tiokey mañambone iraho vaho tsinanoko am-bohoko ao ty feon-tsorotombahañe: Rengèñe ty enge’ Iehovà an-toe’e eo;
Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
13 naho ty feom-pifañoza’ o ela’ i raha veloñe reio naho ty feo’ o larò rekets’ am’ iareoo, vaho ty fipoñafan-kotroke ra’elahy.
And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
14 Le nongahe’ i Tiokey naho nasese’e mb’eo, vaho nandeha amañ-embetse, aman-troke mitsovovoke; fa naozatse tamako ty fità’ Iehovà.
And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
15 Le nivotrak’ amo mpirohy mpimoneñe e Telaviveao iraho, añ’olo i saka Kebarey eo, naho nitoboke am-piambesara’ iareo, vaho nidok’ eo an-kalonjeran-troke fito andro.
Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
16 Aa naho nimodo ty fito andro, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 O ana’ondatio, fa tinendreko ho mpijilojilo amy anjomba’ Israeley, aa ie mijanjin-tsara boak’ am-bavako ao, le hatahatao ty amako iereo.
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
18 Aa naho anoeko ty hoe ty lo-tsereke: Toe hihomake irehe, f’ie tsy hatahatae’o tsy talilie’o, tsy amantopantohe’o i tsereheñey hienga o sata’e ratio, handrombak’ aiñe, aa le hikenkañe amo hakeo’eo indaty lo-tserekey, fe ho paiako am-pità’o ty lio’e.
When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
19 Aa naho hatahatae’o ka i lo-tserekey, naho tsy ambolitio’e i sata’e ratiy ndra itsilea’e i fañaveloa’e ratiy, le hikenkañe amo tahi’eo re, fe naharombak’ ain-drehe.
But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
20 Ie ka, naho mifotetse amy hamarentane’ey t’ indaty vantañe vaho mandilatse, naho ampipoheko fampitsikapiañe aolo’e eo, le hikenkan-dre; aa kanao tsy hinatahata’o, le hikenkañe amo hakeo’eo ie tsy ho tiahy ka o sata soa nanoe’eo, fa ho paiako am-pità’o ty lio’e.
Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
21 Aa naho hatahatae’o ka i vañoñey tsy handilatse vaho tsy manao tahin-dre, le toe ho velon-dre, amy te nihaoñe’e i nahatahata’oy; vaho naharombak’ ain-drehe.
But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
22 Tamako ty fità’ Iehovà; le hoe re tamako, Akia mb’amy montoñey añe vaho ho volañeko.
And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.
23 Aa le niongake iraho nimb’ amy montoñey mb’eo; ingo nijohañe eo ty enge’ Iehovà, hambañe amy enge nirendreko añ’olon-tsaka Kebare añey; vaho nibabok’ an-daharako.
Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
24 Le nizilik’ amako i Arofoy, naho natroa’e an-tomboko eo; vaho nitsara amako, nanao ty hoe, Akia, misikadàña an-kivoho’o ao,
Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.
25 le ihe ana’ondaty, oniño te hapok’ ama’o ty taly vaho hamahotse azo iereo tsy mone hiavotse mb’ am’ondatio;
But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
26 le hampipiteheko an-dañilañi’o eo ty famele’o, le ho moan-drehe tsy hahaendake ondatio; amy te anjomba miola iereo.
And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
27 Fe naho hivolañe ama’o iraho le ho sokafeko ty falie’o vaho hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Talè; aa ze mete hijanjiñe, angao hijanjiñe; le ze mifoneñe tsy hijanjiñe, apoho hifoneñe; amy t’ie anjomba miola.
But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
