Ezekiela 34
1 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ ondatio; mitokia amo mpiarak’ añondri’ Israeleo, mitokia ty hoe amo mpiarakeo, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hankàñe amo mpiarak’añondri’ Israeleo, ie mamaham-batañe avao! tsy ho fahana’ o mpiarak’ añondrio hao o lia-rai’eo?
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
3 Riote’ areo ty ronono’e, sikina’ areo o volon-añondrio, lentà’ areo o vondrakeo; fe tsy fahana’ areo i lia-raikey.
You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
4 Tsy ampaozare’ areo ty maleme, naho tsy ampijangañeñe ty marare, naho tsy bandie’ areo ty folake, naho tsy ampoli’ areo i nandifikey, vaho tsy paia’ areo i nimotsoy; te mone fisengean-kery naho fampisoañañe ty fifeleha’ areo,
You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
5 ie mibarakaik’ añe fa tsy amam-piarake; aa le fitsindro’ o bibin-kivokeo henaneo amy t’ie nibaratsake.
They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
6 Nirereke o añondrikoo, nirererere amo vohitse iabio, naho amo hene haboañeo; songa nibarakaik’ ambone’ ty tane toy i lia-raikoy, vaho tsy teo ty nipay ndra nitsoeke.
My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.
7 Aa le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry mpiarake;
So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
8 Kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, amy te ninjare fitsindrohañe i lia-raikoy, fihinana’ ze biby an-kivok’ ao, ie tsy amam-piarake; tsy pinai’ o mpiarakeo i lia-raikoy, fa namaham-batañe o mpiarakeo, le tsy finaha’ iareo i lia-raikoy;
As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
9 inao arè, ry mpiarakeo, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
10 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Oniño te atreatrèko o mpiarakeo; le ho paiako am-pità’ iareo i lia-raikoy naho hazìko tsy ho mpamahañe i lia-raikoy ka; vaho tsy hamaham-batañe ka o mpiarakeo; fa ho hahako am-palie’ iareo i lia-raikoy, tsy ho fitsindroke.
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
11 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Inao, etoan-dRaho, ho paiako o añondrikoo, toe ho kodabaeko.
For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
12 Hambañe ami’ty fitsoeha’ ty mpiarake i lia-rai’ey ami’ty andro maha-añivo’ o añondri’e nifampiriariao, ty hidabadabaeko o añondrikoo handrombahako iareo amy ze hene toetse nibaratsaha’ iareo an-kopok’ andro migoboñey.
Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.
13 Le hampoliko boak’ amo kilakila’ndatio iereo naho hatontoko boak’ amo fifelehañeo naho haseseko mb’an-tane’ iareo ao vaho handrazeko amo vohi’ Israeleo, marine’ o sakao naho amy ze fonga kialo amy taney ao.
I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.
14 Ho fahanako am-piandrazañe maindoñe, naho ho golobo’ iareo o haboa’ Israeleo; ao ty handrea’ iareo an-goloboñe soa; naho añ’ ahetse vokatse; amo vohi’ Israeleo ty hiandraze’ iereo.
I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.
15 Ho fahanako i lia-raikoy vaho hampàndreko, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
16 Ho tsoeheko o nandifikeo, naho hampoliko indraike o rinoakeo naho ho bandieko ze nifolake vaho hampaozareko o nisilokeo, fa ho rotsaheko o vondrakeo naho o maozatseo, vaho hifahanako zaka.
I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
17 Aa naho inahareo, ry lia-raiko, hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Inao, t’ie hizaka añivo’ ty lia-raike naho ty lia-raike, vaho añivo’ ty añondri-lahy naho ty ose-lahy.
My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.
18 Atao’ areo ho minjilite’e hao te nihàne’ areo ty fiandrazañe soa, vaho nilialià’ ty tombo’ areo ty sisa’ i fiandrazañey? le ie ninon-drano mitoratsike ro nandeotse ty sisa’ i ranoy an-tombo’ areo?
Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?
19 Aa le mihinañe o nilialian-tombo’ areoo o añondrikoo, vaho minoñe amo nileoren-tombo’ areoo.
Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
20 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè am’ iereo: Inao! Izaho le Izaho avao ty hizaka añivo’ o añondry vondrakeo naho o añondry boròkao;
That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
21 amy te naronje’ areo ami’ty ila’o naho an-tsoro’o, naho dinodo’ areo an-tsifa am-para’ te nabaratsa’o mb’alafe añe.
Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
22 Ho rombaheko i lia-raikoy, naho le lia’e tsy ho fitsindrohañe ka; ie hizaka añivo’ ty añondry naho ty añondry.
I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
23 Le hampitroareko ty mpiarake hifehe iareo, le ho razañe’e, ty mpitoroko Davide izay; ie ty hiarake, ie ty ho mpiara’ iareo.
I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
24 Izaho Iehovà ty ho Andrianañahare’ iareo, vaho i mpitoroko Davidey ty ho roandria’ iereo; Izaho Iehovà ty nitsara.
I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
25 Hampijadoñeko fañinam-pañanintsiñe iereo, vaho haziko alafe’ i taney añe o biby maolao; ie hiaiñañoleñañe am-patrambey ao naho hiroro añ’ala ao.
I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
26 Le hitolorako fitahiañe naho toetse mañohoke i vohikoy, hampahaviako an-tsa’e ty orañe naho ty oram-pañanintsiñe.
I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
27 Hamoa voa o hatae an-goloboñeo, naho hañakatse ty havokara’e ty tane, hierañerañe an-tane’e ao iereo vaho ho fohi’ iereo te Izaho Iehovà, ro nampibarabijo ty talirandran-joka’ iareo naho nampipitsoke iareo am-pità’ o nañondevoo.
The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
28 Ie le lia’e tsy ho’ fitsatsà’ o kilakila’ ndatio ka naho tsy habotse’ o bibin-taneo; te mone hiaiñañoleñañe, vaho tsy eo ty hañembañe.
They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
29 Hampitiriako ty hatae maro-tea; ie tsy ho mongore’ ty kerè an-tane ao ka, vaho, ie tsy hivave ty hasalara’ o kilakila’ ndatio.
I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
30 Ho fohi’ iereo te Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho, ty mpañimba’ iareo; toe ondatiko i anjomba’ Israeley, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
31 Inahareo, ry añondriko, ry lia-raim-piandrazeko, toe ondaty, le Izaho ro Andrianañahare’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
