Ezekiela 24

1 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,

2 Ry zanak’ olona, soratinao ny anaran’ ny andro, dia izao andro anio izao; ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona miantomboka mamely an’ i Jerosalema amin’ izao andro anio izao.

Son of man, write for yourself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.

3 Ary milazà fanoharana amin’ ny taranaka maditra, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Asio vilany eo an-tokoana, eny, ataovy eo an-tokoana, ka asio rano ao anatiny;

And speak a parable to the provoking house, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Set on the cauldron, and pour water into it:

4 ary arotsahy ao ny vaingambaingany, dia ny vaingambaingany tsara rehetra, na ny feny na ny sorony; fenoy taolana voafantina izy.

and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,

5 Alao ny ondry voafantina, ka tohofy kitay betsaka ao ambaniny koa hahandroana ny taolana, dia ampangotrahy tsara izy, ka andrahoy ao ny taolany.

[which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.

6 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà sy ny vilany izay misy harafesina tsy mety afaka ao anatiny! Loary tsirairay ny vaingambaingany, fa aza anaovana filokana.

Therefore thus says the Lord; O bloody city, the cauldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.

7 Fa ny ràny dia ao aminy; teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy mangadihady no nametrahany azy; tsy naidiny tamin’ ny tany hosaronan’ ny vovoka izy.

For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;

8 Mba hampakatra ny fahatezerana hamaliana azy no nametrahako ny ràny teo ambonin’ ny vatolampy mangadihady mba tsy ho voasarona.

that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.

9 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà; Izaho koa hamory kitay betsaka.

Therefore thus says the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,

10 Atohofy betsaka ny kitay hazo, ampireheto ny afo, masaho tsara ny hena, ka asio zavatra hahamanitra azy, ary aoka ho may ny taolana.

and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;

11 Dia foàny ny vilany, ka ataovy eo ambonin’ ny vainafo hampahafana sy hahamay ny varahiny, ka ho levona eo aminy ny fahalotoany, ary ho afaka ny harafesiny.

and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,

12 Efa nanasatra dia nanasatra ny tenany izy, nefa tsy nety afaka ny harafesim-beny; aoka ho eo amin’ ny afo ny harafesiny.

and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.

13 Ny fahalotoanao dia misy fahavetavetana; satria nanadio anao Aho, nefa tsy nadio ianao, dia tsy hadio ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoana intsony ianao ambara-pialako fo aminao.

Her scum shall become shameful, because you did defile yourself: and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?

14 Izaho Jehovah no niteny, ka ho tonga izany ary hataoko; tsy hiahotrahotra Aho, na hiantra, na hanenina; araka ny fanaonao sy ny asanao no hitsarana anao, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices: therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

15 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

16 Ry zanak’ olona, indro, efa hesoriko amin’ ny loza indray mamely monja ilay tian’ ny masonao; nefa aza misaona na mitomany na mandatsa-dranomaso akory ianao.

Son of man, behold I take from you the desire of your eyes by violence: you shall not lament, neither shall you weep.

17 Misentoa malemilemy ihany ianao, fa aza mitomany na misaona ny maty; afehezo aminao ny hamamanao, ary asio kiraro ny tongotrao, ary aza manarona ny saokanao na mihinana ny fahan-kanina aterin’ olona.

You shall groan for blood, and have mourning upon your loins; your hair shall not be braided upon you, and your sandals [shall be] on your feet; you shall in no wise be comforted by their lips, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

18 Ary nony maraina dia niteny tamin’ ny olona aho; ary nony hariva dia maty ny vadiko; ary nony maraina indray dia nanao araka ny efa nandidiana ahy aho.

And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.

19 Ary hoy ny olona tamiko: Moa tsy holazainao aminay va izay hevitra tokony ho azonay amin’ izao ataonao izao?

And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are that you do?

20 Dia hoy izaho taminy: Tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 Lazao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, holotoiko ny fitoerako masìna, izay reharehan’ ny herinareo, dia ilay tian’ ny masonareo sy mahamanina ny fanahinareo; ary ho lavon’ ny sabatra ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo, izay nilaozanareo.

Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.

22 Dia manaova tahaka ny nataoko ianareo: aza manarona ny saokanareo ianareo, na mihinana ny fahan-kanina aterin’ olona;

And you shall do as I have done: you shall not be comforted at their mouth, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

23 ary aoka ho eo an-dohanareo ny hamamanareo sy ho eo an-tongotrareo ny kiraronareo; aza misaona na mitomany ianareo; fa ho levona noho ny helokareo ianareo ka hifampitoloko.

And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall you at all lament or weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.

24 Ary Ezekiela dia ho famantarana mahagaga ho anareo; koa araka izay rehetra nataony no mba hataonareo; ary rehefa tonga izany, dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Tompo.

And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall you do, when these things shall come; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

25 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, amin’ ny andro hanesorako aminy ny heriny sy ny fifalian’ ny voninahiny, ilay tian’ ny masony sy ilay tian’ ny fanahiny, dia ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy,

And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

26 eny, amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy olona handositra ho tonga any aminao mba hampandre ny sofinao izany;

that in that day he that escapes shall come to you, to tell [it] you in your ears?

27 amin’ izany andro izany dia hisokatra miaraka amin’ ny an’ ilay mandositra ny vavanao, ka dia hiteny ianao, fa tsy ho moana intsony; ry ho famantarana mahagaga aminy ianao; ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah.

In that day your mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; you shall speak, and shall be no longer dumb: and you shall be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
