¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹[Ny fahotan'i Jerosalema sy ny Isiraely] Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

²And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? Yea, cause her to know all her abominations,

²Ry zanak'olona, moa tsy hitsara va ianao ? Tsy hitsara ny tanana mpandatsa-drà va ianao ? Ampahafantaro azy ary ny fahavetavetany rehetra,

³and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

³ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Tanàna mpandatsa-drà ao ampovoany hahatonga ny fotoany sady manao sampy ao aminy hahaloto azy.

⁴Thou art become guilty by thy blood which thou hast shed, and hast defiled thyself with thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking unto all countries.

⁴Ny rà izay nalatsakao no nahameloka anao, ary ny sampy izay nataonao no nahaloto anao; ary efa nampanakaiky ny andronao ianao ka efa tonga amin'ny taonanao, koa izany no nanaovako anao ho fandatsan'ny jentilisa sy ho fanakoran'ny tany rehetra,

⁵Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, who art infamous [and] full of tumult.

⁵ka na ny akaiky anao na ny lavitra anao dia samy hanakora anao voaloto anarana sy be tabataba.

⁶Behold, the princes of Israel have been in thee to shed blood, each according to his power.

⁶Indreo ny lehiben'ny Isiraely efa samy ao aminao araka ny heriny avy mba handatsa-drà.[Heb sandriny]

⁷In thee have they made light of father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger; in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

⁷Ao aminao no anozonana ray aman-dreny; ary ao aminao no anaovana izay sarotra amin'ny vahiny; ary ao aminao no ampahoriana ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena.

⁸Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

⁸Hamavoinao ny zavatra masina. ary lotoinao ny Sabatako.

⁹In thee there have been slanderous men to shed blood; and in thee have they eaten upon the mountains; in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness;

⁹Ao aminao misy olona mandehandeha manaratsy mba handatsa-drà; ary ao aminao misy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra; ao aminao misy manao fahavetavetana.

¹⁰in thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness; in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her separation.

¹⁰Ao aminao misy mandry amin-drainy; ao aminao misy misavika izay mararin'ny fadim-bolana.

¹¹And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

¹¹Misy manao fahavetavetana amin'ny vadin'ny namany; misy manao fahavetavetana mandoto ny vinantovaviny; ary misy misavika ny anabaviny zanakavavin-drainy.

¹²In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast overreached thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹²Ao aminao misy mandray kolikoly handatsa-drà; maka zana-bola sy tombony ianao sady manao an-keriny mandroba ny an'ny namanao ka manadino Ahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

¹³And behold, I have smitten mine hand at thine overreaching which thou hast done, and at thy bloodshed which hath been in the midst of thee.

¹³Koa, indro, manjera tanana Aho noho ny harena azonao tamin'ny tsy marina sy ny latsa-drà tao aminao.

¹⁴Shall thy heart endure, shall thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I Jehovah have spoken, and will do [it].

¹⁴Hahatoha va ny fonao, na hahazaka va ny tananao, amin'ny andro izay hisehoaka aminao? Izaho Jehovah no nilaza sady hahatanteraka izany.[Heb. hanaovako]

¹⁵And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

¹⁵Ary haeliko ho any amin'ny jentilisa sy hahahako ho any amin'ny tany samy hafa ianao, ary holevoniko ho afaka aminao mihitsy ny fahalotoanao.

¹⁶And thou shalt be polluted through thyself in the sight of the nations, and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁶Ary dia ho hitan'ny jentilisa fa ny nataonao ihany no nahaloto anao; ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.

¹⁷And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹⁷Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah anao hoe:

¹⁸Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me: they are all copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dross of silver.

¹⁸Ry zanak'olona, ny taranak'Isiraely dia efa tonga tain-drendrika amiko; izy rehetra dia varahina sy vifotsy sy vy ary firaka ao anatin'ny memy; eny, efa tonga taim-bolafotsy izy.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Noho ny nahatongavanareo rehetra ho tain-drendrika, dia, indro, hangoniko ho ao Jerosalema ianareo.

²⁰[As] they gather silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you on and melt you.

²⁰Toy ny anangonana volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy firaka ary vifotsy ho ao anatin'ny memy ka misy mifofotra azy amin'ny afo ho rendrika, dia toy izany no hanangonako anareo amin'ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako, ary hataoko ao ianareo ka ho voarendrika;

²¹Yea, I will collect you, and blow upon you the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

²¹eny, nangoniko ianareo, dia hifofotra anareo amin'ny afon'ny fahatezerako Aho, ka ho voarendrika ao anatiny ianareo.

²²As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I Jehovah have poured out my fury upon you.

²²Toy ny andrendrika volafotsy ao anatin'ny memy no handrendrehana anareo ao anatiny; ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho Jehovah no nampidina ny fahatezerako aminareo.

²³And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²³Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

²⁴Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

²⁴Ry zanak'olona, lazao aminy hoe: Hianao no tany tsy hazavain'ny hainandro sady tsy ilatsahan'ny ranonorana amin'ny andro fahatezerana.[Na: tsy voadio]

²⁵There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they devour souls; they take away treasure and precious things; they increase her widows in the midst of her;

²⁵Mikomy ny mpaminany ao aminy; tahaka ny liona mierona mamiravira haza izy; mihinana olona izy sady mahalasa ny harena sy ny zava-tsoa ary mahamaro ny mpitondratena ao aminy.

²⁶her priests do violence to my law, and profane my holy things: they put no difference between the holy and profane, neither do they make known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

²⁶Ny mpisorona dia mandika ny lalàko sy mandoto ny zavatra masina; tsy manavaka ny masina sy ny tsy masina izy, na mampiseho ny tsi-fitovian'ny maloto sy ny madio, ary mitampi-maso tsy hijery ny Sabatako izy, ary tsiratsiraina ao aminy Aho.

²⁷Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

²⁷Toy ny amboa-dia mamiravira haza ny lehibeny ao aminy ka mandatsa-drà sy mahafaty aina ary mahazo harena amin'ny tsy marina.[Na: lopa]

²⁸And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah! and Jehovah hath not spoken.

²⁸Ary ny mpaminaniny mandalotra azy amin'ny feta tsy madity ka mahita zava-poana sy maminany lainga aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo; nefa Jehovah tsy niteny tsinona.

²⁹The people of the land use oppression and practise robbery; and they vex the poor and needy, and oppress the stranger wrongfully.

²⁹Ny vahoaka manao an-keriny sy mandroba ka mampahory ny malahelo sy ny mahantra; ary ny vahiny dia ampahoriny tsy andrariny.

³⁰And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the fence, and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.

³⁰Ary nitady olona teo aminy Aho hanao manda sy hijanona eo amin'ny banga eo anatrehako hifona ho an'ny tany mba tsy handravako azy, kanjo tsy nahita;koa dia haidiko eo aminy ny fahatezerako; ny afon'ny fahatezerako no handaniako azy; ary hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fanaony, hoy Jehovah Tompo.[Heb lalana]

³¹And I will pour out mine indignation upon them; I will consume them in the fire of my wrath: their own way will I recompense upon their head, saith the Lord Jehovah.

³¹koa dia haidiko eo aminy ny fahatezerako; ny afon'ny fahatezerako no handaniako azy; ary hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fanaony, hoy Jehovah Tompo.[Heb lalana]
