Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”

Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, mitsangàna, fa hiteny aminao Aho.

2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.

Ary nisy fanahy tonga tao anatiko, raha niteny tamiko Izy, ka nampitsangana ahy, ary reko Izay niteny tamiko.

3 He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.

Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, maniraka anao ho amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely Aho, eny, ho amin’ ireo jentilisa mpiodina, izay efa niodina tamiko; izy sy ny razany dia samy efa nanota tamiko avokoa mandraka androany.

4 The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’

Ary ho any amin’ ny zanaka mafy handrina sy madi-po no anirahako anao, ary ianao hanao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo.

5 [when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.

Ary na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino (fa taranaka maditra izy), dia ho fantany fa efa nisy mpaminany teo aminy.

6 And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.

Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, aza matahotra azy, ary aza matahotra ny teniny, na dia voakasiky ny amiana sy ny tsilo aza ianao, ary na dia eo amin’ ny maingoka aza no ipetrahanao; eny, aza matahotra ny fiteniny, ary aza mivadi-po noho ny tarehiny, fa taranaka maditra izy.

7 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.

Ary holazainao aminy ihany ny amiko, na hihaino izy na tsy hihaino, fa tena naditra izy.

8 But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”

Fa ianao kosa, ry zanak’ olona, mihainoa izay lazaiko aminao; aza maditra tahaka izany taranaka maditra izany ianao; akafy ny vavanao, ka hano izay afahako anao.

9 Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.

Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy tanana nahinjitra tamiko, ary, indro, nisy horonan-taratasy ny aminy.

10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.

Dia novelariny teo anatrehako izany, ary nisy soratra teo anatiny sy teo ivoany; ary fitomaniana sy fidradradradrana loza no voasoratra teo.
