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.
He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
2 Aa le sinokako ty vavako vaho nafantso’e ahy i pelekey.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
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.
Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Le hoe re amako, O ana’ ondatio, akia mimoaha añ’ anjomba’ Israele ao vaho isaontsio o fivolakoo.
Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
5 Tsy nahitrike am’ ondaty lale-drehake ndra saro-pisaontsio irehe, fa mb’amy anjomba’ Israeley;
The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
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.
I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
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 Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
8 Ingo te nampiontsoñontsoñeko ty lahara’o hatreatrè’o ty lahara’ iareo, naho nanoeko gañe ty fatram-bei’o hiatreatrea’e ty panda’ iareo.
But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
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.
I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
10 Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Rambeso añ’arofo’o ao naho janjiño an-dravembia’o ze hene tsara ho taroñeko;
He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
11 akia mimoaha añivo’ o mpirohio naho saontsio vaho talilio, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè—ke hijanjiñe iereo, he tsy hañaoñe.
Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
12 Aa le rinambe’ i Tiokey mañambone iraho vaho tsinanoko am-bohoko ao ty feon-tsorotombahañe: Rengèñe ty enge’ Iehovà an-toe’e eo;
[in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
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] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
14 Le nongahe’ i Tiokey naho nasese’e mb’eo, vaho nandeha amañ-embetse, aman-troke mitsovovoke; fa naozatse tamako ty fità’ Iehovà.
The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
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.
I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
16 Aa naho nimodo ty fito andro, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
17 O ana’ondatio, fa tinendreko ho mpijilojilo amy anjomba’ Israeley, aa ie mijanjin-tsara boak’ am-bavako ao, le hatahatao ty amako iereo.
“You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
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 about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
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 warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
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.
Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
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 warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
22 Tamako ty fità’ Iehovà; le hoe re tamako, Akia mb’amy montoñey añe vaho ho volañeko.
[I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to 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.
So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
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 [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
25 le ihe ana’ondaty, oniño te hapok’ ama’o ty taly vaho hamahotse azo iereo tsy mone hiavotse mb’ am’ondatio;
People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
26 le hampipiteheko an-dañilañi’o eo ty famele’o, le ho moan-drehe tsy hahaendake ondatio; amy te anjomba miola iereo.
[Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
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.
[then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
