Ezekiela 33
1 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ ondatio, misaontsia amo ana’ ondati’oo vaho ano ty hoe: Naho endesako fibara i taney, naho mangalake ondaty boak’ amo efe’eo, ondati’ i taney, naho hajadoko ho mpijilo’ iareo;
Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
3 le ie oni’e te miheo mb’amy taney mb’eo i fibaray, ho tiofe’e i antsivay hitalily am’ondatio,
and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
4 le ndra ia ia mahajanjiñe ty fipopò’ i antsivay fe tsy mañaoñe i hatahata’ey; vaho maniotse aze añe ty fitorotosi’ i fibaray, le ho ama’e ty lio’e.
and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
5 Jinanji’e ty feo i antsivay fe tsy hinao’e i hatahatay; ho ama’e i lio’ey, ie ho nandrombak’ay te hinao’e i hatahatay.
Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
6 Aa naho oni’ i mpijiloy te miheo mb’eo i fibaray fe tsy tiofe’e i antsivay le tsy hatahataeñe ondatio, aa naho asiom-pibara t’indaty boak’am’ iereo ao, le hendeseñe ty amo tahi’eo indatiy; fe ho paiako am-pità’ i mpijiloy ty lio’e.
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from amongst them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 Ihe, ry ana’ ondatio, ty najadoko ho mpijilo i anjomba’ Israeley; aa le ho janjiñe’o ty taroñem-bavako vaho ho hatahatae’o ty amako iereo.
And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
8 Aa naho volañeko i lo-tserekey ty hoe, O ty lo-tsereke tia, toe havetrake irehe; aa naho tsy hatahatae’o i lo-tserekey ty amo sata-rati’eo, le hivetrake amo hakeo’eo re, fe ho paiako am-pità’o ty lio’e.
When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Aa naho talilie’o i lo-tserekey o sata-rati’ eo, hibalintoa’e, fe tsy ambohoa’e i sata’ey, le hikenkañe amo tahi’eo, fe ho rinomba’o ka ty fiai’o.
But if you forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
10 Aa ihe ry ana’ondatio, misaontsia amy Anjomba’ Israeley: Le ano ty hoe: Hoe nahareo: Amantika o fiolàñe naho tahin-tikañeo, le fa mampinike an-tika. Aa vaho akore arè ty hiveloman-tika?
And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
11 Ano ty hoe am’iereo: Kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Tsy mipay ty fikoromaha’ o lo-tserekeo iraho, fa t’ie hibalintoa amo sata’eo ho veloñe; mitoliha arè, mibalintoaña amo sata-rati’ areoo, fa ino ty hihomaha’ areo ry anjomba’ Israeleo?
Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Tovoño ty hoe, Ry ana’ ondatio, ano ty hoe o ana’ ondati’oo; Tsy haharombake ty vaño ty havañona’e amy andro iolà’ey; naho tsy hahatsikapy ty lo-tsereke i halò-tsere’ey amy andro ifotera’ey; vaho tsy hahaveloñe i vañoñey ty havañona’e amy andro andilara’ey.
Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
13 Ie anoeko ty hoe i vañoñey, Toe ho velon-drehe; fa iatoa’e i havañona’ey vaho mandilatse, le tsy ho tiahy i hamarentane’ey; fa i hakeo nanoe’ey, ty hihomaha’e.
When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
14 Aa naho hataoko ty hoe i lo-tserekey: Tsy mete tsy hikoromake irehe; le ie mibalintoa amo tahi’eo, naho manao ty fahiti’e naho ty havantañañe,
And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgement and justice,
15 naho avaha’ i lo-tserekey i natsoa’ey, naho ampolie’e i nikamere’ey naho añaveloa’e o fañèn-kaveloñeo vaho tsy mandilatse ka, le toe ho velon-dre, fa tsy hikoromake.
and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 Leo raik’ amo hakeo nanoe’eo tsy hivoliliañe. Fa nanoe’e i havañonañey naho i havantañañey, le ho velon-dre.
None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgement and righteousness; by them shall he live.
17 Fa hoe o ana-dahi’ ondati’oo, Tsy mahity ty sata’ i Talè; toe i sata’ iareoy ty tsy mahity.
Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
18 Naho miamboho amy havañona’ey ty vañoñe naho manao hakeo, le hivetrake.
When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
19 Naho mibalintoa amo sata-rati’eo ty lo-tsereke, vaho manao ty havantañañe naho ty havañonañe; le ho velon-dre.
And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgement and righteousness, he shall live by them.
20 Fa anoe’ areo ty hoe, Tsy vantañe ty lala’ i Talè. Ry anjomba’ Israele, Ho zakaeko nahareo, songa ty amo sata’eo.
And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
21 Aa amy andro faha-lime’ i volam-paha folo’ i taom-paha-folo-ro’ ambi’ i fandrohiza’aiy, le niheo amako ty nahapolititse am’ Ierosalaime, le nanoa’e ty hoe, Fa rotsake i rovay.
And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
22 Toe tamako ty fità’ Iehovà amy haleñe aolo’ ty nivotraha’ i nipolititsey, nanokake ty vavako aolo’ t’ie nipok’ amako amy maraiñey; aa le nisokake ty vavako le tsy nimoañe ka.
Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
23 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 O ana’ ondatio, hoe ty saontsi’ ondaty mimoneñe an-dratraratra’ Israele ao, Raike t’i Avrahame, le nifanaña’e i taney, fe maro tikañe, vaho natolotse an-tika ho fanañañe i taney.
Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
25 Aa le isaontsio ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Fikamà’ areo ty raha aman-dio naho fiandrà’ areo o samposampo’ areoo, vaho mampiori-dio; aa ho fanaña’ areo hao i taney?
26 Ie miato amy fibara’ areoy, mikitro-draha raty, vaho songa mandeotse ty tañanjomban-drañe’e; aa vaho ho hanaña’ areo hao i taney?
27 Isaontsio ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Kanao velon-dRaho, toe ho tsingoroem-pibara o an-dratraratrao, le ho fahanako o bibio hampibotseke ty an-kivok’ ao, naho hampivetrahe’ ty angorosy o an-kijoly vaho an-dakatoo.
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
28 Fa hanoeko ratraratra naho bangìñe i taney, le hijihetse ty firengevoha’ i haozara’ey; le ho koake ty vohi’ Israele, tsy ho amam-piranga.
And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.
29 Le ho fohi’ iereo te Izaho Iehovà, naha-bangiñe naho ratraratra i taney ty amo haloloañe nanoe’ iereoo.
And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
30 Aa ihe, ry ana’ ondatio, Mbe mifosa azo marine’ o kijolio naho an-dala’ o anjombao o ana-dahi’ ondati’oo, sambe mivesoveso an-drahalahi’e ty hoe: Antao ito hijanjiñe ty tsara aboak’ Iehovà.
And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.
31 Aa le hiropak’ ama’o hoe firimboña’ ondaty hiatrek’ azo ondatikoo naho ho janjiñe’ iereo o saontsi’oo, fe tsy hanoe’ iereo; amy te mitsiriry avao o falie’eo, naho mañorike ty fitsikiriha’ iareo o tro’eo.
They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
32 Ingo manahake te mpibekom-pikokoañe am’ iereo irehe, talango-am-peo, mahafititike marovany; toe tsendreñe’ iareo o saontsi’oo, fe tsy hanoe’ iereo.
And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
33 Aa ie mifetsake izay; (heheke te ho tondroke), le ho fohi’ iereo te tañivo’ iareo ao ty mpitoky.
But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
