¹And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, that [as] I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the hand of the Lord Jehovah 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.

²And I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the look of glowing brass.

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 stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entry 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 appearance that I saw in the valley.

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

⁵And he said unto me, Son of man, lift up now thine eyes toward the north. And I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and behold, northward of 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.

⁶And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, to cause [me] to go far off from my sanctuary? And yet again thou shalt see great 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 entry of the court, and I looked, and 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.

⁸And he said unto me, Son of man, dig now through the wall; and I digged through the wall, and 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.

¹⁰And I went in and looked, and behold, every form of creeping thing and abominable beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed 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 elders 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.

¹²And he said unto me, Hast thou seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.

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]

¹³And he said unto me, Yet again thou shalt see great abominations which they do.

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

¹⁴And he brought me to the entry of the gate of Jehovah's house that 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.

¹⁵And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Thou shalt yet again 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 Jehovah's house, and behold, at the entry of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah 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.

¹⁷And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here, that they yet fill the land with violence, and keep provoking me afresh to anger? And behold, 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.

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