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 unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest: eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
2 Aa le sinokako ty vavako vaho nafantso’e ahy i pelekey.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.
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 unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.
4 Le hoe re amako, O ana’ ondatio, akia mimoaha añ’ anjomba’ Israele ao vaho isaontsio o fivolakoo.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5 Tsy nahitrike am’ ondaty lale-drehake ndra saro-pisaontsio irehe, fa mb’amy anjomba’ Israeley;
For not to a people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue art thou sent, but to the house 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 many people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would truly have hearkened unto thee.
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 house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me; for all the house of Israel have a bold forehead, and a hard 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.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
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.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, nor shalt thou be dismayed at their presence, though they be a rebellious family.
10 Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Rambeso añ’arofo’o ao naho janjiño an-dravembia’o ze hene tsara ho taroñeko;
And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I will speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear [them] with thy ears.
11 akia mimoaha añivo’ o mpirohio naho saontsio vaho talilio, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè—ke hijanjiñe iereo, he tsy hañaoñe.
And go, get thee to those in exile, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
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 a spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying, ] Blessed be the glory of the Lord 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.
[I heard] also the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels at the same time with them, and 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.
So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I walked in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the inspiration of the Lord was strong upon 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 came I to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Kebar, and I remained where they dwelt, and I remained there in a state of confusion among them seven days.
16 Aa naho nimodo ty fito andro, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, That the word of the Lord came unto 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 thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and give them warning from me.
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 unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not give him warning, and speakest not to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die through his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
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 thou, —if thou hast warned the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way: he shall indeed die in his iniquity; but thou hast surely delivered thy soul.
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 a righteous man do turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong: then will I lay a stumbling-block before him, [so that] he shall die; yet if thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his acts of righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require from thy hand.
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 thou hast truly warned him, —the righteous, that the righteous should not sin, and he doth not sin: he shall surely live, because he attended to the warning, and thou hast surely delivered thy own soul.
22 Tamako ty fità’ Iehovà; le hoe re tamako, Akia mb’amy montoñey añe vaho ho volañeko.
And the inspiration of the Lord came there over me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there will I speak with thee.
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.
And I arose, and went forth into the valley; and, behold, there was the glory of the Lord standing, like that glory which I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell 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 entered a spirit into me, and placed me upright on my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself up within thy house.
25 le ihe ana’ondaty, oniño te hapok’ ama’o ty taly vaho hamahotse azo iereo tsy mone hiavotse mb’ am’ondatio;
But thou, O son of man, behold, they put ropes upon thee, and bind thee with them, that thou canst 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 let thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not become to them a man who reproveth; for they are a rebellious family.
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 speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forebear; for they are a rebellious family.
