¹And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

¹[Fahitana ny amin'ny nanarahan'ny olona tany Jerosalema ny fomban-tsampy] Ary tamin'ny andro fahadimy tamin'ny volana fahenina tamin'ny taona fahenina, raha nipetraka tao an-tranoko aho, ary nipetraka teo anatrehako ny loholon'ny Joda, dia nilatsaka tamiko ny tànan'i Jehovah Tompo.

²Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

²Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy nitarehin'afo; hatramin'ny valahany no ho midina dia afo; ary hatramin'ny valahany no ho miakatra kosa dia nitarehin-java-mamirapiratra dia toy ny volon'ny metaly mamirapiratra.

³And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

³Ary nisy nitarehin-tanana nahinjiny, ka noraisiny tamin'ny voloko aho, dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ho eny anelanelan'ny tany sy ny lanitra ka nitondra ahy ho any Jerosalema tamin'ny fahitana avy amin'Andriamanitra, ho eo amin'ny vavahadin'ny kianja anatiny, izay manatrika ny avaratra, dia ilay nisy ny sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro, dia ilay mampahasaro-piaro.[Na: rivotra]

⁴And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

⁴Ary, indro, teo ny voninahitr'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely tahaka ilay fahitana efa hitako teo amin'ny lohasaha.

⁵Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

⁵Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, atopazy kely amin'ny lalana mianavaratra ny masonao. Dia natopiko tamin'ny lalana mianavaratra ny masoko ka, indro, eny avaratry ny vavahadin'ny alitara no nisy ilay sarin-javatra fampahasaro-piaro teo amin'ny fidirana.

⁶He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

⁶Dia hoy koa Izy tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, hitanao va izay ataon'ireo, dia ny fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataon'ny taranak'Isiraely eto ka mampanalavitra Ahy amin'ny fitoerako masina? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe koa ianao.

⁷And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

⁷Dia nentiny ho eo amin'ny vavahadin'ny kianja aho; ary hitako fa, indro, nisy loaka teo amin'ny ampiantany.

⁸Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

⁸Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, loahy ny ampiantany; dia noloahako ny ampiantany ka, indro, nisy varavarana.

⁹And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

⁹Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Midira, ka jereo ny fahavetavetana lehibe ataony eto.

¹⁰So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

¹⁰Dia niditra aho ka nahita, ary indreo, nisy sarin'ny biby mandady sy mikisaka rehetra sy ny biby hafa, dia izay fahavetavetana, sy ny sampy rehetra an'ny taranak'Isiraely, voasoratra teo amin'ny rindrina manodidina.

¹¹And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

¹¹Ary nisy olona fito-polo lahy, isan'ny loholon'ny taranak'Isiraely, nitsangana teo anoloan'ireo, ary Jazania, zanak'i Safana, nitsangana teo afovoany, samy nitondra ny loviany fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra teny an-tànany avy, ary ny setroky ny ditin-kazo manitra dia nidonata.

¹²Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

¹²Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak'olona efa hitanao va ny ataon'ny loholon'ny taranak'Isiraely amin'ny maizina, dia samy ao amin'ny efi-tranony misy sary? Fa hoy izy: Jehovah tsy mahita anay; efa nahafoy ny tany Izy.[Na: tsara soratra]

¹³He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

¹³Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe izay ataony koa ianao.

¹⁴Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

¹⁴Dia nentiny ho eo anoloan'ny vavahadin'ny tranon'i Jehovah, izay manatrika ny avaratra aho; ary, indreo, nisy vehivavy nipetraka teo, nitomany an'i Tamoza.

¹⁵Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

¹⁵Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany ry zanak'olona? Mbola hahita fahavetavetana lehibe noho ireto koa ianao.

¹⁶And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

¹⁶Dia nentiny ho eo amin'ny kianja anatiny amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah aho, ary, indro, teo am-baravaran'ny tempolin'i Jehovah, dia teo anelanelan'ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny alitara, dia nisy tokony ho dimy amby roa-polo lahy niamboho ny tempolin'i Jehovah ka nanatrika ny atsinanana; ary ireo dia niankohoka manandrify ny masoandro, nanatrika ny atsinanana.

¹⁷Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

¹⁷Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Hitanao va izany, ry zanak'olona? Moa ataon'ny taranak'i Joda ho kely loatra va ny nanaovany ny fahavetavetana izay ataony eto, no fenoiny fampahoriana koa ny tany, ka mampahatezitra Ahy lalandava izy; ary indro izy nanainga ny rantsan-kazo ho amin'ny orony.Ary Izaho kosa dia hamely amin'ny fahatezerako; tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo Aho; ary na dia mitaraina mafy eo an-tsofiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.

¹⁸Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

¹⁸Ary Izaho kosa dia hamely amin'ny fahatezerako; tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo Aho; ary na dia mitaraina mafy eo an-tsofiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
