Ezekiela 33
1 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 O ana’ ondatio, misaontsia amo ana’ ondati’oo vaho ano ty hoe: Naho endesako fibara i taney, naho mangalake ondaty boak’ amo efe’eo, ondati’ i taney, naho hajadoko ho mpijilo’ iareo;
“Son of man, declare this to your people; say to them, 'When I bring a sword against any land, then the people of that land take one man from among themselves and make him a watchman for them.
3 le ie oni’e te miheo mb’amy taney mb’eo i fibaray, ho tiofe’e i antsivay hitalily am’ondatio,
He looks for the sword as it comes on the land, and he blows his horn to warn the people!
4 le ndra ia ia mahajanjiñe ty fipopò’ i antsivay fe tsy mañaoñe i hatahata’ey; vaho maniotse aze añe ty fitorotosi’ i fibaray, le ho ama’e ty lio’e.
If the people hear the sound of the horn but do not pay attention, and if the sword comes and kills them, then each one's blood is on his own head.
5 Jinanji’e ty feo i antsivay fe tsy hinao’e i hatahatay; ho ama’e i lio’ey, ie ho nandrombak’ay te hinao’e i hatahatay.
If someone hears the sound of the horn and pays no attention, his blood is on him; but if he pays attention, he will save his own life.
6 Aa naho oni’ i mpijiloy te miheo mb’eo i fibaray fe tsy tiofe’e i antsivay le tsy hatahataeñe ondatio, aa naho asiom-pibara t’indaty boak’am’ iereo ao, le hendeseñe ty amo tahi’eo indatiy; fe ho paiako am-pità’ i mpijiloy ty lio’e.
However, if the watchman sees the sword as it is coming, but if he does not blow the horn, with the result that the people are not warned, and if the sword comes and takes anyone's life, then that person dies in his own sin, but I will require his blood from the watchman.'
7 Ihe, ry ana’ ondatio, ty najadoko ho mpijilo i anjomba’ Israeley; aa le ho janjiñe’o ty taroñem-bavako vaho ho hatahatae’o ty amako iereo.
Now you yourself, son of man! I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; you will hear the words from my mouth and warn them on my behalf.
8 Aa naho volañeko i lo-tserekey ty hoe, O ty lo-tsereke tia, toe havetrake rehe; aa naho tsy hatahatae’o i lo-tserekey ty amo sata-rati’eo, le hivetrake amo hakeo’eo re, fe ho paiako am-pità’o ty lio’e.
If I say to a wicked person, 'Wicked one, you will surely die!' but if you do not announce this so as to warn the wicked about his way, then he who is wicked will die in his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand!
9 Aa naho talilie’o i lo-tserekey o sata-rati’ eo, hibalintoa’e, fe tsy ambohoa’e i sata’ey, le hikenkañe amo tahi’eo, fe ho rinomba’o ka ty fiai’o.
But you, if you warn the wicked about his way, so that he might turn back from it, and if he does not turn back from his way, then he will die in his sin, but you yourself will have saved your own life.
10 Aa ihe ry ana’ondatio, misaontsia amy Anjomba’ Israeley: Le ano ty hoe: Hoe nahareo: Amantika o fiolàñe naho tahin-tikañeo, le fa mampinike an-tika. Aa vaho akore arè ty hiveloman-tika?
So you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'You are saying this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are decaying in them! How can we live?”'
11 Ano ty hoe am’iereo: Kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Tsy mipay ty fikoromaha’ o lo-tserekeo raho, fa t’ie hibalintoa amo sata’eo ho veloñe; mitoliha arè, mibalintoaña amo sata-rati’ areoo, fa ino ty hihomaha’ areo ry anjomba’ Israeleo?
Say to them, 'As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I do not delight in the death of the wicked, for if the wicked repents from his way, then he will live! Repent! Repent from your wicked ways! For why should you die, house of Israel?'
12 Tovoño ty hoe, Ry ana’ ondatio, ano ty hoe o ana’ ondati’oo; Tsy haharombake ty vaño ty havañona’e amy andro iolà’ey; naho tsy hahatsikapy ty lo-tsereke i halò-tsere’ey amy andro ifotera’ey; vaho tsy hahaveloñe i vañoñey ty havañona’e amy andro andilara’ey.
So now you, son of man, say to your people, 'The righteousness of a righteous person will not save him if he sins! The wickedness of a wicked person will not cause him to perish if he repents from his sin! For the righteous person will not be able to live because of his righteousness if he sins.
13 Ie anoeko ty hoe i vañoñey, Toe ho velon-drehe; fa iatoa’e i havañona’ey vaho mandilatse, le tsy ho tiahy i hamarentane’ey; fa i hakeo nanoe’ey, ty hihomaha’e.
If I say to the righteous, “He will surely live!” and if he trusts in his righteousness and then commits injustice, I will not call to mind any of his righteousness. He will die for the wickedness he committed.
14 Aa naho hataoko ty hoe i lo-tserekey: Tsy mete tsy hikoromake rehe; le ie mibalintoa amo tahi’eo, naho manao ty fahiti’e naho ty havantañañe,
So if I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” but if he then repents from his sins and does what is just and right—
15 naho avaha’ i lo-tserekey i natsoa’ey, naho ampolie’e i nikamere’ey naho añaveloa’e o fañèn-kaveloñeo vaho tsy mandilatse ka, le toe ho velon-dre, fa tsy hikoromake.
if he restores the loan guarantee that he wickedly demanded, or if he makes restitution for what he has stolen, and if he walks in the statutes that give life and no longer commits sin—then he will surely live. He will not die.
16 Leo raik’ amo hakeo nanoe’eo tsy hivoliliañe. Fa nanoe’e i havañonañey naho i havantañañey, le ho velon-dre.
None of the sins that he has committed will be called to mind for him. He has acted justly and rightly, and so, he will surely live!
17 Fa hoe o ana-dahi’ ondati’oo, Tsy mahity ty sata’ i Talè; toe i sata’ iareoy ty tsy mahity.
But your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” but it is your ways that are not fair!
18 Naho miamboho amy havañona’ey ty vañoñe naho manao hakeo, le hivetrake.
When the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, then he will die in it!
19 Naho mibalintoa amo sata-rati’eo ty lo-tsereke, vaho manao ty havantañañe naho ty havañonañe; le ho velon-dre.
When the wicked turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and righteous, he will live because of those things!
20 Fa anoe’ areo ty hoe, Tsy vantañe ty lala’ i Talè. Ry anjomba’ Israele, Ho zakaeko nahareo, songa ty amo sata’eo.
But you people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” I will judge each of you according to his way, house of Israel!'”
21 Aa amy andro faha-lime’ i volam-paha folo’ i taom-paha-folo-ro’ ambi’ i fandrohiza’aiy, le niheo amako ty nahapolititse am’ Ierosalaime, le nanoa’e ty hoe, Fa rotsake i rovay.
It happened in the twelfth year, on the fifth day of the tenth month of our captivity, that a fugitive came to me from Jerusalem and said, “The city has been captured!”
22 Toe tamako ty fità’ Iehovà amy haleñe aolo’ ty nivotraha’ i nipolititsey, nanokake ty vavako aolo’ t’ie nipok’ amako amy maraiñey; aa le nisokake ty vavako le tsy nimoañe ka.
The hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening before the fugitive came, and my mouth was opened by the time that he came to me in the dawn. So my mouth was open; I was no longer mute!
23 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
24 O ana’ ondatio, hoe ty saontsi’ ondaty mimoneñe an-dratraratra’ Israele ao, Raike t’i Avrahame, le nifanaña’e i taney, fe maro tikañe, vaho natolotse an-tika ho fanañañe i taney.
“Son of man, the ones inhabiting those ruins in the land of Israel are talking and say, 'Abraham was only one person, and he inherited the land, but we are many! The land has been given to us as a possession.'
25 Aa le isaontsio ty hoe, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Fikamà’ areo ty raha aman-dio naho fiandrà’ areo o samposampo’ areoo, vaho mampiori-dio; aa ho fanaña’ areo hao i taney?
Therefore say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: You eat blood, and you lift up your eyes towards your idols, then you pour out people's blood. Should you really possess the land?
26 Ie miato amy fibara’ areoy, mikitro-draha raty, vaho songa mandeotse ty tañanjomban-drañe’e; aa vaho ho hanaña’ areo hao i taney?
You have depended on your swords and have done disgusting things; each man defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you really possess the land?'
27 Isaontsio ty hoe: Inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Kanao velon-dRaho, toe ho tsingoroem-pibara o an-dratraratrao, le ho fahanako o bibio hampibotseke ty an-kivok’ ao, naho hampivetrahe’ ty angorosy o an-kijoly vaho an-dakatoo.
You will say this to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: As I live, surely the ones in the ruins will fall by the sword, and I will give those in the fields to the living creatures as food, and those in fortresses and in caves will die of plagues.
28 Fa hanoeko ratraratra naho bangìñe i taney, le hijihetse ty firengevoha’ i haozara’ey; le ho koake ty vohi’ Israele, tsy ho amam-piranga.
Then I will turn the land into a desolation and a horror, and the pride of its might will end, for the mountains of Israel will be deserted, and there will be no one to pass through them.'
29 Le ho fohi’ iereo te Zaho Iehovà, naha-bangiñe naho ratraratra i taney ty amo haloloañe nanoe’ iereoo.
So they will know that I am Yahweh, when I make the land a desolation and a waste because of all the abominations that they have done.
30 Aa ihe, ry ana’ ondatio, Mbe mifosa azo marine’ o kijolio naho an-dala’ o anjombao o ana-dahi’ ondati’oo, sambe mivesoveso an-drahalahi’e ty hoe: Antao ito hijanjiñe ty tsara aboak’ Iehovà.
So now you, son of man—your people are saying things about you beside the walls and the gates of the houses, and each says to one another—each man to his brother, 'Let us go and listen to the prophet's word that comes out from Yahweh!'
31 Aa le hiropak’ ama’o hoe firimboña’ ondaty hiatrek’ azo ondatikoo naho ho janjiñe’ iereo o saontsi’oo, fe tsy hanoe’ iereo; amy te mitsiriry avao o falie’eo, naho mañorike ty fitsikiriha’ iareo o tro’eo.
So my people will come to you, as they often do, and will sit in front of you and listen to your words, but they will not obey them. Right words are in their mouths, but their hearts are going after unjust profit.
32 Ingo manahake te mpibekom-pikokoañe am’ iereo rehe, talango-am-peo, mahafititike marovany; toe tsendreñe’ iareo o saontsi’oo, fe tsy hanoe’ iereo.
For you are like a lovely song to them, a beautiful sound that is well played on a stringed instrument, so they will listen to your words, but none of them will obey them.
33 Aa ie mifetsake zay; (heheke te ho tondroke), le ho fohi’ iereo te tañivo’ iareo ao ty mpitoky.
So when all of this happens—behold! it will happen!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
