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

¹[Ny amin'ny mpiandry ondry ratsy fanahy, sy ny mbola hanangonana ny ondry, ary ny hanendrena mpiandry tsara hiandry azy] Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe:

²Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?

²Ry zanak'olona, maminania ny hamelezana ny mpiandry ny Isiraely, eny, maminania, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Lozan'ny mpiandry ondrin'ny Isiraely izay mamahan-tena! Moa tsy ny ondry va no tokony handrasan'ny mpiandry?

³Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.

³Ny taviny dia haninareo, ary ny volony tafinareo, ny nafahy vonoinareo; nefa ny ondry tsy mba andrasanareo.

⁴The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.

⁴Tsy manatanjaka ny malemy ianareo, na manasitrana ny marary, na manamatra ny folaka, na mampody ny noroahina, na mikatsaka ny very; fa loza loatra ny fampanomponareo azy.

⁵And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.

⁵Dia miely izy, satria tsy misy mpiandry; ary rehefa miely izy, dia tonga rembin'ny bibidia rehetra.

⁶My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.

⁶Mirenireny eny an-tendrombohitra sy eny amin'ny havoana andrandraina rehetra ny ondriko; eny, any amin'ny tany rehetra no ielezan'ny ondriko, ary tsy misy mitady na miahy azy.

⁷Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:

⁷Koa mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry:

⁸[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,

⁸Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, noho ny nahababoan'ny ondriko sy ny nahatongavan'ny ondriko ho rembin'ny bibi-dia rehetra, satria tsy nisy mpiandry azy, fa tsy nitady ny ondriko ny mpiandry, fa ny mamahan-tena kosa no ataony, ka tsy namahana ny ondriko,

⁹-- therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.

⁹dia mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpiandry ondry.

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

¹⁰Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, avy hamely ny mpiandry ondry Aho, dia hampamoahiko ny amin'ny ondriko izy ka hesoriko tsy hiandry ny ondry intsony; dia tsy hamahan-tena intsony ny mpiandry ondry, fa hovonjeko eo amin'ny vavany ny ondriko mba tsy ho azony hohanina intsony.

¹¹For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.

¹¹Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho, eny, Izaho no hiahy ny ondriko sy handinidinika azy.

¹²As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

¹²Toy ny fandinidiniko ny mpiandry ny ondriny amin'izay andro hahatratrarany ny ondriny izay efa niely, dia toy izany no handinidinihako ny ondriko sy hamonjeko azy avy any amin'izay rehetra efa nielezany tamin'ny andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito.

¹³And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.

¹³Ary ho entiko mivoaka avy any amin'ny firenena izy ka hangoniko avy any amin'ny tany samy hafa, dia ho entiko ho any amin'ny taniny sy handrasako eny an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely sy eny an-dohasahan-driaka izy ary eny amin'izay tsara honenana rehetra eran'ny tany.

¹⁴I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

¹⁴Eny amin'ny tany tsara ho fiandrasana no hiandrasako azy, ary eny an-tendrombohitra avon'ny Isiraely no ho tany hiandrasana azy; ao no handriany amin'ny tany tsara, ary eny amin'ny fiandrasana tsara ahitra no hihinanany, dia any an-tendrombohitry ny Isiraely.[Heb. matavy]

¹⁵I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵Izaho no hiandry ny ondriko, ary Izaho no hampandry azy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

¹⁶I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.

¹⁶Ny very hotadiaviko, ny voaroaka hampodiko, ny folaka hohamarako, ny malemy hohatanjahiko; fa ny matavy sy ny matanjaka kosa dia haringako ka handrasako amin'ny fitsarana.

¹⁷And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.

¹⁷Ary ny aminareo, ry ondriko, izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hotsaraiko ny adin'ny ondry aman'osy, dia ny ady ataon'ny ondrilahy sy ny osilahy namany aminy.

¹⁸Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?

¹⁸Moa ataonareo ho zavatra kely va ny nandanianareo ny ahitra tsara, no dia nohosihosen'ny tongotrareo ny ahitrareo sisa, ary ny efa nisotroanareo ny rano madio, no dia nolotoin'ny tongotrareo ny sisa?

¹⁹And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

¹⁹Ary ny amin'ny ondriko, moa izay voahosihosin'ny tongotrareo va no hohaniny, ary izay voaloton'ny tongotrareo va no hosotroiny?

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

²⁰Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo aminy: Indro, Izaho, eny, Izaho no hitsara ny adin'ny ondry matavy amin'ny ondry mahia.

²¹Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,

²¹Satria ny tehezanareo sy ny sorokareo no entinareo manosika ny marary rehetra, ary ny tandrokareo no entinareo manoto azy mandra- pandronjinareo azy ho any ivelany;

²²-- I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

²²dia hovonieko ny ondriko, ary tsy ho babo intsony izy, ary hotsaraiko ny adin'ny ondry amin'ny ondry namany.

²³And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²³Ary hanangana Mpiandry iray ho azy Aho, Izy no hiandry azy, dia Davida Mpanompoko, ka Izy no hitondra azy sy ho Mpiandry azy.

²⁴And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].

²⁴Ary Izaho Jehovah no ho Andriamaniny, ary Davida Mpanompoko no ho Mpanapaka ao aminy. Izaho Jehovah no niteny izany.

²⁵And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

²⁵Ary hanao fanekem-pihavanana aminy Aho ka hampiala ny biby masiaka tsy ho eo amin'ny tany intsony, dia handry fahizay izy na dia any an-efitra aza, sady hatory na dia any anaty ala aza.

²⁶And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.

²⁶Ary izy sy ny manodidina ny havoanako dia hataoko fitaziana, ary hampilatsaka ranonorana amin'ny fotoany Aho, dia ranonoram-pitahiana mivatravatra.

²⁷And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.

²⁷Ary hamoa ny hazo any an-tsaha, sady hahavokatra ny tany, ary handry fahizay amin'ny tany izy; ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah, raha hotapahiko ny ziogany, ary hovonjeko amin'ny tànan'izay nampanompo azy izy.

²⁸And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.

²⁸Ary tsy ho babon'ny jentilisa na ho rembin'ny bibi-dia intsony izy, fa handry fahizay, ary tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.

²⁹And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.

²⁹Ary hampaniry voly ho laza ho azy Aho, ka tsy ho ritry ny mosary amin'ny tany intsony izy, na hitondra ny latsan'ny jentilisa intsony;

³⁰And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.

³⁰ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho, Jehovah Andriamaniny, no momba azy, ary izy, taranak'Isiraely, no oloko, hoy Jehovah Tompo.Ary ny aminareo ondriko ondry fiandriko olona ianareo, ary Izaho no Andriamanitrareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

³¹And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.

³¹Ary ny aminareo ondriko ondry fiandriko olona ianareo, ary Izaho no Andriamanitrareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
