Ezekiela 33
1 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
Yahweh’s word 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 tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among 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,
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns 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.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on 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.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have 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 sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will 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.
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
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 tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood 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.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your 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?
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can 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?
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, 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.
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
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 tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
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,
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
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.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will 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 that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely 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 say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 Naho miamboho amy havañona’ey ty vañoñe naho manao hakeo, le hivetrake.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 Naho mibalintoa amo sata-rati’eo ty lo-tsereke, vaho manao ty havantañañe naho ty havañonañe; le ho velon-dre.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 Fa anoe’ areo ty hoe, Tsy vantañe ty lala’ i Talè. Ry anjomba’ Israele, Ho zakaeko nahareo, songa ty amo sata’eo.
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after 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.
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
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 Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh’s word 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, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
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?
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 Ie miato amy fibara’ areoy, mikitro-draha raty, vaho songa mandeotse ty tañanjomban-drañe’e; aa vaho ho hanaña’ areo hao i taney?
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
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.
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the 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.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 Le ho fohi’ iereo te Izaho Iehovà, naha-bangiñe naho ratraratra i taney ty amo haloloañe nanoe’ iereoo.
Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
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.
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’
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 come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 Ingo manahake te mpibekom-pikokoañe am’ iereo irehe, talango-am-peo, mahafititike marovany; toe tsendreñe’ iareo o saontsi’oo, fe tsy hanoe’ iereo.
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
33 Aa ie mifetsake izay; (heheke te ho tondroke), le ho fohi’ iereo te tañivo’ iareo ao ty mpitoky.
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
