Ezekiela 36
1 O ana’ondatio, Itokio ami’ty hoe o vohi’ Israeleo: O ry vohi’ Israeleo, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà.
You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
2 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Kanao nanao ty hoe ty ama’o i rafelahiy: Hede! fa amantika o haboañe haehaeo;
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
3 Le itokio ami’ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Amy t’ie nampangoakoahe’ iereo naho nagedra’ iereo añ’ ila’o iaby soa te ho fanaña’ o kilakila’ ndatio, naho fa rinambem-pivimbim-pitolom-bolañe vaho nifosae’ ondatio;
Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
4 ie amy zao, ry vohi’ Israele, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà Talè: Hoe t’Iehovà Talè amo vohitseo naho amo haboañeo, amo sakao, amo vavataneo, amo mangoakoakeo naho amo tane babangoañeo vaho amo rova naforintseñeo, ie fitsindroha’ o sehangan-kilakila’ ondaty mañohok’ azeo,
Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
5 aa le inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Toe nivolañeko ami’ty afom-piforoforoam-pamarahiako o kilakila’ondaty ila’eo naho i Edome iaby, o nitavañe i taney ho aze an-kafalean-troke iabio, ami’ty firengevoham-pañiria’e, hanifike aze añe ho tsindrokeo.
6 Aa le mitokia mb’an-tane’ Israele naho misaontsia amo vohitseo naho amo haboañeo naho amo sakao vaho amo vavataneo, ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ingo te nivolañe am-parahy naho foroforo iraho ty amy hasalarañe nifeaha’o vave,
7 aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Fa nañonjon-tsirañe Raho, toe hivave ty hasalara’e o kilakila’ndaty mañohok’ anahareoo.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
8 Inahareo ka, ry vohi’ Israeleo, habarabijo’ areo o tsampa’o naho o voka’eo le mamokara ho am’ondatiko Israeleo, ie antitotse te hitotsak’eo.
But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
9 Ingo fa Mpiama’ areo iraho, naho hitolihako le ho trabaheñe vaho tongiseñe,
I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
10 le hampitomboeko ama’ areo t’ondaty, i hene anjomba’ Israeley, eka ie iaby; vaho songa himoneñañe o rovao, le hamboareñe o haran-koakeo.
I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
11 Hampitomboeko ama’areo ty ondaty naho hare, hiraorao naho hangetseketseke; naho hampimoneñako manahake i tama’areo haehaey, naho hanoeko soa te am-pifotora’ areo, vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà.
I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
12 Hampañaveloeko ama’ areo t’indaty, toe ondatiko Israeleo, le ho fanaña’ iareo, ho lova’ iareo vaho tsy hampirovete’o anake ka henane zay.
I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
13 Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Amy t’ie manao ty hoe; Mampibotseke ondaty irehe vaho nampihontofe’o o fifehea’oo,
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
14 aa le tsy hampibotseke ondaty ka irehe, vaho tsy hampandalà’o ana-dahy ka o fifehea’oo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
15 Mbore tsy hampijineko azo ka ty hasalara’ o kilakila’ ndatio naho tsy ho vavè’o ty inje’ ondatio vaho tsy hampitsikapie’o ka o fifehea’oo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
16 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
17 O ana’ ondatio, Fa nileore’ o sata’eo naho ty fitoloña’ iareo i anjomba’ Israele mimoneñe an-tane’ iareoy; niatrek’ ahy hoe fandeoran’ ampela am-piambolañe ty sata’ iareo.
“You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
18 Aa le nadoako am’ iereo ty fifomboko ty amo lio nampiorihe’ iereo an-taneo, naho o samposampo nanivà’ iareo azeo;
So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
19 le nabaratsako amo kilakila’ ondatio vaho niparaitak’ amo fifeheañeo; o sata’iareoo naho o fitoloña’iareoo ty nizakako iareo.
I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
20 Aa ie nimoak’ amo kilakila’ ndatio, le tiniva’ iareo i añarako masiñey; ie nanoa’ ondatio ty hoe, Ondati’ Iehovà iretoañe, ie fa nienga i tane’ey.
And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
21 Aa le nitretrezeko i añarako masiñe nitivae’ i anjomba’ Israeley amo kilakila’ndaty nañaveloa’eoy.
But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
22 Aa le saontsio ty hoe i anjomba’ Israeley, Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Tsy ty ama’ areo ty anoako zao, ry anjomba’ Israeleo, fa ty amy añarako masiñe tiniva’ areo añivo’ o kilakila’ndaty nañaveloa’ areoo.
Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
23 Le ho masiñeko i añarako ra’elahiy, i tiniva’ areo añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatioy, i vineta’ areo anteñateña’ iereoy; vaho ho fohi’ o kilakila’ndatio te Izaho Iehovà, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, naho avahe’ areo añatrefam-pihaino’ iareo eo iraho.
I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
24 Le ho rambeseko amo kilakila’ndatio nahareo, naho hatontoko boak’ amy ze hene fifelehañe, vaho ho enteko mb’an-tane’ areo mb’eo.
What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
25 Le ho fitsezako rano malio, naho halio amo haleora’ areo iabio, vaho ho lioveko amo samposampo’ areoo.
[It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
26 Ho tolorako arofo vao nahareo, naho hampizilihako troke vao; naho hafahako am-pañova’ areo ao i troke mamàtoy, vaho ho tolorako arofo nofotse.
I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
27 Aa le hajoko ama’ areo t’i Troko naho hampañoriheko o lilikoo soa te hambena’ areo o fañèkoo, hitoloña’ areo.
I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
28 Le himoneña’ areo i tane natoloko aman-droae’ areoy naho ho ondatiko nahareo vaho ho Andrianañahare’ areo iraho.
You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Ho votsorako amo haleora’ areoo; naho ho tokaveko i ampembay hamokara’e vaho tsy halamako ama’ areo ty hasalikoañe.
I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
30 Hampiregoregoeko ka o voan-kataeo, naho ty havokara’ o tetekeo, tsy hinjè’ ty kerè ka nahareo añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatio.
I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
31 Ho tiahi’ areo amy zao o sata-rati’ areoo naho o fitoloñañe tsy vokatseo, vaho ho heje’ areo vintañe am-pahaoniña’ areo eo ty fiai’ areo ty amo hakeo naho haloloa’ areoo.
When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
32 Tsy ty ama’ areo ty anoako izay, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, maharendreha; mimeñara naho misalara amo sata’ areoo, ry anjomba’ Israeleo.
But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
33 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: amy andro nañaliovako anahareo amo fonga tahi’ areooy, fa hampimoneñako o rovao, vaho hamboareñe o tane hoakeo.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
34 Ho rokafeñe i tane bangiñey, ie napoke ho ratraratra amo mpiary azeo;
People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
35 ie nanoeñe ty hoe: Nihambañe an-tane Edene ty tane liolio toy taolo; vaho ni-fatratse i rova mangoakoake naho bangiñe reroañe.
They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
36 Le ho fohi’ o kilakila’ ndaty nengañe mañohok’ anahareoo te Izaho Iehovà ty namboatse o niantoo, vaho nambole i niliolioy; Izaho Iehovà ty nitaroñe, Izaho ty hitoloñe.
When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
37 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Izay ty hitsoeha’ i anjomba’ Israeley t’ie hitoloñe, le ho maroeko hoe lia-raike.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
38 Manahake o añondry miavakeo, o añondry an-tsabadidam-pitalahoa’ Ierosalaimeo, ty hanitsifañe lia-rai’ ondaty o rova hoakeo; vaho ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà.
as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
