< Isaiah 47 >
1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
Mizotsoa, mitoboha an-debok’ ao, ry anak’ampela’ i Bavele; mitozoha an-tane eo tsy amam-piambesatse, ry anak’ampela’ i Kasdý; fa tsy hatao mitrotrotrotro ndra sakoly ka irehe.
2 Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
Rambeso i vato fandisanañey naho lisano i tsakoy; afaho o lamba marerarera’oo, voloso o mireparepao, aonjono ty an-kitso’o eo, itsaho o sakao.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
Haboake ty fibongia’o; ho trea ty fimeñara’o; hamale fate raho vaho tsy eo ty hanebañe ahy.
4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
I Mpijeba’ay, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, i Masi’ Israeley.
5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
Mitoboha am-pitsiñañe ao, akia mb’an-kamoromoroñañe ao, ry anak’ampela’ o Kasdio, tsy hatao mpanjakam-pifeheañe ka irehe.
6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
Niboseke am’ondatikoo iraho, vinetako i lovakoy, vaho natoloko am-pità’o, fa tsy niferenaiña’o, nanoe’o mavesatse amo antetseo ty joka’o.
7 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
Ie nanoe’o ty hoe, Ho mpanjaka-ampela nainai’e iraho, le tsy nahaja’o an-troke ao o raha zao, vaho tsy nitiahi’o ty figadoña’e.
8 “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I will not sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
Aa le tsanoño izao, ty mpañori-kadrao, ty mpiaiñ’añoleñañe, ty manao an-tro’e ao ty hoe: Tsy hitoboke ho remavoin-draho, hamoeako ty fahamotsoan’ anake.
9 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
Fa hivotrak’ama’o ami’ty andro raike o raha roe zao: ty hamotsoan’anake, naho ty ha-remavoiñe; am-pañaranañe pea t’ie hifetsake ndra te tsifotofoto’ o famoreha’oo, naho maozatse ty fisikilia’o.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
Natao’o mahasoa-aro ty halò-tsere’o, ihe nanao ty hoe: Tsy eo ty mahatrea ahy. Songa nampikeloke azo ty hihi’o naho ty hilala’o; ie nanao ty hoe an-troke ao: Izaho ro ie, vaho tsy ie naho tsy izaho avao.
11 Therefore disaster will come on you. You will not know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You will not be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you do not understand.
Aa le hifetsake ama’o ty raty; tsy ho lefe’o troboeñe hisitaha’e; hidoiñe ama’o ty hankàñe; tsy ho lefe añeferañe; hivovò ama’o ty fiànto, aolo’ te apota’o.
12 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
Mijadòña arè amo fisikilia’oo, naho amo fitozantozam-pamoreha’oo, o nitoloñe’o ampara’ ty nahakede azoo; ke ho tambeza’e, he hahafitroboe’o.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
Ie nimokore’ o fikililia’oo; angao hiongake henaneo arè o mpañandroo, naho o mpañorike vasiañeo, naho o mpahay volañeo, handrombak’ azo amo hifetsak’ ama’oo.
14 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They will not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It will not be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
Heheke, fa manahake ty ahetse iereo, ho forototoen’ afo; ie tsy haharombake ami’ty haozara’ i firebareba’ey; tsy ama’e ty vaen’ afo hitaraña’e, toe tsy ho afo hamindroañe.
15 The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.
Hoe izay iereo ama’o, o nifanehafa’oo; songa hirererere mb’an-toe’e mb’eo o nitrao-balibalike ama’o boak’ ami’ty naha-ajaja azoo, tsy ho amam-pandrombake irehe.
