Ezekiela 35
1 Mboe niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 O ana’ ondatio, atrefo ty vohi-tSeire vaho itokio,
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
3 ami’ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà Talè: Ry Vohi-tSeire, atreatrèko irehe, vaho hatorakitsiko ama’o ty tañako hampangoakoahako azo ho tane bangý.
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 Fonga ho rotsaheko o rova’oo le ho vahiny irehe vaho ho fohi’o te izaho Iehovà;
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
5 amy t’ie nitan-keloke nainai’e naho nanolotse o ana’ Israeleo ami’ty haozaram-pibara amy andron-kekoheko’ iareoy, amy sam-pigadoñan-kaloloañey;
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
6 kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le hañentseñako lio, hañoridañe azo ty lio; toe niheje’o ty lio’o, vaho lio ro hañotioty azo.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Le hampangoakoaheko naho ho babangoañeko t’i Seire, vaho haitoako ama’e ty miranga naho ty mimpoly.
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
8 Hatsefeko zamañe o vohi’eo, an-kaboa’o ey naho am-bavatane’o ao; vaho an-tsaka’o iaby ao ty hikorovoha’ o zinevom-pibarao.
I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 Hampangoakoaheko nainai’e naho tsy hatroatse ka o rova’oo; vaho ho fohi’o te Izaho Iehovà.
I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
10 Amy te ihe nanao ty hoe, Ho ahiko i fifelehañe roe rey naho i tane roe rey, ho tavane’ay; fe tao t’Iehovà.
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
11 Aa kanao velon-dRaho hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le ho toloñeko amy haviñerañe naho amy fikirañañe nitoloña’o an-karafelahiañey, vaho ho fohi’ iereo te izaho ty nizaka azo.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
12 Le ho fohi’o te Izaho Iehovà ty nahatsanoñe ty fifosa nanoe’ areo amo vohi’ Israeleo ami’ty hoe: Kanao nengañe bangiñe, le natolotse antika habotseke.
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Niebotsebotse amako am-bava irehe, vaho nampitoabore’o rehake; hene tsinanoko.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Toly ndra hirebeke ty tane-bey toy naho koaheko irehe,
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
15 manahake ty nirebeha’o amy lovan-anjomba’ Israeley, t’ie nangoakoake; izay ka ty hanoako azo; ho bangìñe ka irehe, ry Vohi-Seire, naho i Edome iaby, eka ie iabike; vaho ho fohi’ iereo te Izaho Iehovà.
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
