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

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

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

²`And thou, son of man, dost thou judge? dost thou judge the city of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its abominations,

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

³and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it hath made idols on it for defilement.

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,

⁴By thy blood that thou hast shed thou hast been guilty, And by thine idols that thou hast made thou hast been defiled, And thou causest thy days to draw near, And art come in unto thine years, Therefore I have given thee a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.

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

⁵The near and the far-off from thee scoff at thee, O defiled of name — abounding in trouble.

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

⁶Lo, princes of Israel — each according to his arm Have been in thee to shed blood.

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.

⁷Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they oppressed in thee.

⁸Hamavoinao ny zavatra masina. ary lotoinao ny Sabatako.

⁸My holy things thou hast despised, And My sabbaths thou hast polluted.

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

⁹Men of slander have been in thee to shed blood, And on the mountains they have eaten in thee, Wickedness they have done in thy midst.

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

¹⁰The nakedness of a father hath one uncovered in thee, The defiled of impurity they humbled in thee.

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

¹¹And each with the wife of his neighbour hath done abomination, And each his daughter-in-law hath defiled through wickedness, And each his sister, his father`s daughter, hath humbled in thee.

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.

¹²A bribe they have taken in thee to shed blood, Usury and increase thou hast taken, And cuttest off thy neighbour by oppression, And Me thou hast forgotten, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!

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

¹³And lo, I have smitten My hand, Because of thy dishonest gain that thou hast gained, And for thy blood that hath been in thy midst.

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

¹⁴Doth thy heart stand — are thy hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done [it].

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.

¹⁵And I have scattered thee among nations, And have spread thee out among lands, And consumed thy uncleanness out of thee.

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

¹⁶And thou hast been polluted in thyself Before the eyes of nations, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.`

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

¹⁷And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man,

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.

¹⁸The house of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace — dross hath silver been,

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

¹⁹Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your all becoming dross, Therefore, lo, I am gathering you unto the midst of Jerusalem,

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;

²⁰A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, Unto the midst of a furnace — to blow on it fire, to melt it, So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.

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

²¹And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And ye have been melted in its midst.

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.

²²As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, I have poured out My fury upon you.`

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

²³And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

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]

²⁴`Son of man, say to it, Thou [art] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.

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.

²⁵A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, as a roaring lion tearing prey; The soul they have devoured, Wealth and glory they have taken, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.

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.

²⁶Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy things, Between holy and common they have not made separation, And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am pierced in their midst.

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]

²⁷Its princes in its midst [are] as wolves, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.

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.

²⁸And its prophets have daubed for them with chalk, Seeing a vain thing, and divining for them a lie, Saying, `Thus said the Lord Jehovah:` And Jehovah hath not spoken.

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

²⁹The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed — without judgment.

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]

³⁰And I seek of them a man making a fence, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land — not to destroy it, And I have not found.

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]

³¹And I pour out on them mine indignation, By fire of My wrath I have consumed them, Their way on their own head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!`
