< Isaiah 29 >

1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
Hekoheko ry Ariele, ry ­Ariele, ty rova nitobea’ i Davide! Tovoño taoñe an-taoñe, ampitoitoio o sabadidakeo!
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
Le handesako haemberañe ty Ariele, le ho fandalàñe naho firovetañe ty ao, ie hanahake Ariele amako.
3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
Le ho arikatohako irehe; ho arikoboñako votre abo, hatroako ama’o ty rafi-panameañe
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
Le hafotsak’ ambane irehe, hisaontsy boak’an-tane ao, hirik’an-deboke itsalalampa’o ao ty hipetropetroha’o, hanahake ty feon’ angatse boak’ an-tane ao ty antseñàntseña’o, vaho higeongeoñe boak’ an-demboke ao ty filañona’o.
5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
Fa hanahake ty deboke mibò o rafelahi’o maroo, le hoe kafo mihofa o mampangebahebake tsifotofotoo— eka, hafetsak’ aniany, ami’ty manao zao.
6 She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
Hitilike anahareo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy reketse hotroke naho fanginikinihañe, naho fitromoroñañe, naho tangololahy, naho tiobey vaho ty lel-afo mamorototo.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
Le ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iaby mialy amy Arieleo, o mifandrapake ama’eo, naho o rafem-pañarikatohañe azeo, naho o mampalovilovy azeo, le hanahake ty nofy, ty aroñaroñe an-kaleñe;
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger is not satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
Le ho hambañe ami’ty saliko mañinofy, heheke t’ie mikama, f’ie tsekake, mbe mikolempa ty tro’e; naho ty fañinofisa’ ty taliñiereñe, heheke t’ie minon-drano, ie mibarakaoke hehe te mbe miheahea, tsy afake i harandrano’ey, hanahake izay ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iaby haname i vohi-Tsioneio.
9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Mijimejimeña naho midebedebea, migoà vaho mitambara ho fèy! jike iereo, fa tsy an-divay! mivembeñe fa tsy an-toake!
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
Fa nadoa’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty fañahy mampilañake an-droro; fa nakipe’e ty fihaino’ areo, (o mpitokio); naho fa kinolopo’e ty añambone’ areo (o mpioniñeo).
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed;”
I hene aroñaroñey le ho ama’areo hoe tsara am-boke linite, ie atolo’areo ami’ty mahay mamaky, ami’ty hoe: Ehe, vakio toy, le hoe ty hatoi’e: Tsy mete fa linite.
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I cannot read.”
Le ie atolo’areo ami’ty tsy mahay, ami’ty hoe: Vakio toy, le hanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy mahay iraho.
13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
Hoe t’i Talè: Kanao mañarine ahy am-palie, ondaty retoañe naho miasy ahy am-pivimby, ie ahanka’ iareo lavits’ahy o arofo’iareoo, vaho lili’ ondaty avao ty añoha’iareo ho fañeveñañe amako;
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
Inao, hanoeko raha mampañeveñe indraike ondatio: halatsañe mahadaba; ho mongotse ty hihi’ o mahihi’ iareoo naho hikafitse ty hilala’ o mahilala’ iareoo.
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
Hankàñe amo mañetake ty fikinià’iareo laleke tsy ho oni’ Iehovào, amo mikitroke raha añ’ieñeio, naho manao ty hoe: Ia ty mahavazoho’ antika? ndra: Ia ty maharofoanañe antika?
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He did not make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Hete! akore ty hamengoha’ areo! Hasiñeñe manahake i mpanao valàñe taney hao i litsakey? hanao ty hoe amy namboatsey hao i namboareñey: Tsy ihe ty namboatse ahy. Ndra hanao amy nandrafitse azey ty hoe: Tsy mahilala irehe.
17 Is not it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
Tsy aniany avao hao te havalike ho tonda kobokara ty Lebanone, vaho hatao ala i teteke kobokaray?
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Amy andro zay, ho janjiñe’ o ­kareñeñeo ty tsara am-boke ao, le boak’ami’ty fimoromoroña’e naho ty fanalinjoña’e ao ty hahaisaha’ ty fihaino’ o feio.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Hañonjon-karebehañe am’ Iehovà o tretram-poo, naho handia taroba amy Masi’Israeley o rarake am’ondatio.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
Fa hihelañe añe i mpitrotrofiakey, naho hijihetse i mpañìnjey, toe fonga haitoañe o mahimbam-panao ratio;
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
O mampandilatse ondaty an-tsaontsy, naho mamandrike i mizaka an-dalam-beiy, vaho mikatramo ty vantañe an-dreha-borosodeo.
22 Therefore the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà mpijebañe i Avrahame, ty amy anjomba’ Iakobey: Tsy ho salatse t’Iakobe henane zao, vaho tsy hiko-mavo i lahara’ey,
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Ie isa’ o ana’eo o satan-tañako añivo’eo, le havahe’iereo ty añarako Eka! hiasia’ iareo i Masi’ Iakobey, vaho hañeveñe amy Andrianañahare’ Israele.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
Le hahilala o mandilatse an-trokeo, vaho hañaom-pañanarañe o miñeoñeoñeo.
