¹And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah 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, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.

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 propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the 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, 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 also [put] a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe 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]

⁶Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust 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 bare 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 execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare 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 Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.

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

¹⁰Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly 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 its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust 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 exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust 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, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury 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 Jehovah have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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.

¹⁵And the word of Jehovah 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 thou shalt not 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.

¹⁷Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, 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.

¹⁸-- And I spoke 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, which thou doest?

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

²⁰And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

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

²¹Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind 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 the beard, neither 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 turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan 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 shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

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.

²⁵And 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 whereunto they lift up their soul, 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 in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause [thine] ears to hear [it]?

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 that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb. So shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

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.
