< Isaiah 24 >

1 Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Heheke ampangoakoahe’ ­Iehovà i taney, ampiantoe’e, aotakota’e, vaho aparatsia’e o mpimone’eo:
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
ty mpisoroñe naho ty fokonontsoa, ty ondevo naho ty tale; ty anak’ampatañe naho ty rakemba; ty mpivily naho ty mpandetake; ty mpampindrañe naho ty mpindrañe, ty mampisongo naho ty mpisongo.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
Hene ho korendaheñe i taney, hakopake malio, fa nafè’ Iehovà i tsaray.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.
Mioje i taney naho ­miforejeje, miheatse naho midrodremotse ty voatse toy, fonga mitike o nonjoneñe an-tane atoio.
5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
Tiniva’ o mpimone’eo i taney, nandilatse Hàke iereo, niotake amo fañèo, vaho nivalike amy fañina tsy modoy.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Aa le nabotsem-patse i taney, naho sesehen-kakeo o mpitoboke ama’eo, toly ndra minike o mpimone’ i taneio, vaho tsy ampe ty sengaha’e;
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
Tsy vaño ty divay vao, miheatse o vaheo; hene miselekaiñe o mpifalefaleo.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Mijihetse ty firebeha’ o kantsàñeo, migadoñe ty fikoraha’ o mpirebekeo, milesa ty hafalea’ o marovanio.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Tsy minon-divay an-tsabo iereo; mafaitse ty toake amo mikam’azeo.
10 The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Nakoromake i rova nitsamborohotakey; songa mirindriñe ze anjomba, tsy hiziliha’ondaty.
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Firovetañe ty an-dalañe ey, ty amy divaiy; nagoboñe ze hene hafaleañe, fa nafahañe ty firavoravoa’ i taney.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Nengañe hoake i rovay, kinaboke ho fianto o lalambei’eo
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
Fa izay ty ho ie añivo’ ty tane toy, anteñateña’ ondatio, manahake ty fañozoñozoñan-tsakoa, naho ty fitimponañe ty sisa ami’ty fanontonañe valoboke.
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea.
Mampipoña-peo iereo, misabo an-drebeke; mirañoraño o boak’ an-driakeo mañonjoñe ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
15 Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.
Aa le mandrengea Iehovà ry an-kazavañe añe, ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, ry añ’olon-driakeo.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
Boak’ antsietoitane añe ty nahajanjiña’ay sabo: Enge ho a i vantañey! Fe nataoko ty hoe: Minike iraho, mitike avao; feh’ohatse amako! Mikinia o mpikitro-drahao; eka vata’e mikitroke ty mpikilily.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Ama’o ry mpimone’ ty tane toio ty harevendreveñañe, i koboñey, vaho i fandrikey.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
Aa le ho tondroke te, hikapotrake an-koboñe ao ze ampivoratsahe’ ty talili’ i hekohekoy; naho ho tsepahe’ ty fandrike ze manganike boak’ an-koboñe ao; fa misòkake o lalan-kede añ’abo eñeo vaho miezeñezeñe o faha’ ty tane toio.
19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently.
Señake ty tane toy, mangorobagorobañe; nampigavengaveñeñe ty tane toy.
20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Mivembeñe hoe ondaty jike ty tane toy; mitroetroe hoe kibohotse; mavesatse ama’e o fiolà’eo, ie hikorovoke tsy hitroatse ka.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Ho tondroke amy andro zay te ho lilove’ Iehovà i valobohòn-dikerañey, an-dindiñ’ añe, naho o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, an-tane atoy.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.
Hatontoñe, manahake ty añoroñañe mpirohy am-balabey ao, naho hagabeñe am-porozò ao; ie naha-modo andro maro ao vaho ho liloveñe.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory.
Ho meñatse i volañey, ho salatse i àndroy; fa hifehe am-bohi-Tsione ey t’Iehovà, toe e Ierosalaime ao, le haboak’ amo mpifehe’ondati’eo ty enge’e.
