¹Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹[Fahitana ny amin'ny vilany fahandroana, ary ny tenin'Andriamanitra ny amin'ny hahafatesan'ny vadin'i Ezekiela] Ary tamin'ny andro fahafolo tamin'ny volana fahafolo tamin'ny taona fahasivy dia tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

²Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

²Ry 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.

³And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

³Ary 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;

⁴Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

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

⁵Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

⁵Alao ny ondry voafantina, ka tohofy kitay betsaka ao ambaniny koa hahandroana ny taolana, dia ampangotrahy tsara izy, ka andrahoy ao ny taolany.[Na: ka angòny eo ambaniny ny taolana]

⁶Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

⁶Koa 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.

⁷For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

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

⁸That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

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

⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

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

¹⁰Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

¹⁰Atohofy betsaka ny kitay hazo, ampireheto ny afo, masaho tsara ny hena, ka asio zavatra hahamanitra azy, ary aoka ho may ny taolana.[Na: eny, taneho tsara izy]

¹¹Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

¹¹Dia 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.

¹²She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

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

¹³In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

¹³Ny 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.

¹⁴I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁴Izaho 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.

¹⁵Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

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

¹⁶Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

¹⁶Ry 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.

¹⁷Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

¹⁷Misentoa 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.

¹⁸So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

¹⁸Ary 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.

¹⁹And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

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

²⁰Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

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

²¹Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

²¹Lazao amin'ny taranak'Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, holotoiko ny fitoerako masina, 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.

²²And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

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

²³And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

²³ary 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.

²⁴Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

²⁴Ary 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.

²⁵Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

²⁵Ary 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,

²⁶That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

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

²⁷In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

²⁷amin'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.
