Isaiah 13
1 This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received:
Nibekoe’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse i Bavele amy nioni’ey.
2 Raise a banner on a barren hilltop; call aloud to them. Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
Ampitroaro viloñe am-bohits’abo ey, ipoñafo feo, mañelahelà fitañe, himoaha’ iareo an-dalam-bein-droandriañe ao.
3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.
Fa liniliko o neferakoo naho kinoiko o manjofakoo, o mahimbañe naho rototseo ty amy habosehakoy.
4 Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.
Inay ty rehoreho am-bohitse eñe, hoe ondaty mitozantozañe! Inao ty fikoraha’ ty fitontona’ o fifehea’ o kilakila ‘ndatio! Tehafe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy o valobohòkeo hihotakotake.
5 They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the LORD and the weapons of His wrath— to destroy the whole country.
Boak’ an-tsietoitane añe iereo, boak’ am-pigadoña’ i likerañey añe, —Iehovà, naho o fialiam-pifombo’eo— handrotsake i tane iabiy.
6 Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
Mangololoiha; fa antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà; toe fandrotsahañe boak’ amy El-Sadai ty hivotraha’e;
7 Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
Hene higebañe amy zao o fitañeo, vaho songa hitranake ty arofo’ ondaty.
8 Terror, pain, and anguish will seize them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another, their faces flushed with fear.
Hangebahebake iereo; hamihiñe iareo ty hativontivoñe naho ty fisintosintoñe; le hanahake ty fitsongoan-ampela ty fanaintaiña’ iareo; ho veren-draha hifampitorìtotse; ho tarehe mibelabela-afo ty lahara’ iareo.
9 Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming— cruel, with fury and burning anger— to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.
Inao, antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà, hasarerahañe, filoroloro naho fifombo miforoforo, hampangotomomoke i taney, vaho hamongotse o lo-tsereke ama’eo.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
Le tsy hañomey ty hazavà’e o vasian-dikerañeo naho o fitoboroña’eo, ho maieñe i àndroy te manjirike, vaho tsy hampaviahe’ i volañey ty hazavà’e.
11 I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
Ho liloveko ty tane toy ty amo hakeo’ iareoo, o tsy vokatseo ty amo tahi’ iareoo, le haziko ty firengevoha’ o mpiebotsebotseo, vaho hazevoko ambane ty fireñeta’ o mpamorekekeo.
12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
Hanoeko loho sarotse ta ty volamena hiringiri’e t’indaty; le ambone’ ty vongam-bolamena’ i Ofirey ondatio.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.
Aa le hampiezeñezeñeko o likerañeo, naho hahifikifike tsy ho amy toe’ey ty tane toy, ty ami’ty fifombo’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, amy andron-kaviñera’e miloroloroy.
14 Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
Ho tondroke amy zay t’ie hanahake ty farasy rinoake naho ty añondry tsy amam-pamory sindre milay mb’an-tane’e mb’eo, songa himpoly mb’am’ondati’eo.
15 Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword.
Ho tomboheñe iaby ze zoeñe, vaho hene hampikorovohem-pibara ze tsinepake.
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.
Ho demodemoheñe añatrefam- pihaino’iareo o anak’ajaja’ iareoo; ho kopaheñe ty anjomba’ iareo, vaho ho vahorañe ty rakemba’ iareo.
17 Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.
Eka, ho troboheko am’ iareo o nte-Madaio, o tsy mañaom-bolafotio; ndra volamena tsy ifalea’e.
18 Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children.
Ho trofatrofahem-pale o ajalahio; tsy ho ferenaiña’ iareo ty vokan-koviñe; tsy ho tretrezem-pihaino’e o ajajao.
19 And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
I Bavele amy zao, i volonahe’ o fifeheañeoy, i fisengea’ o nte-Kasdio fanjakay: le hanahake ty fandrotsahan’Añahare i Sedome naho i Amorà.
20 She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.
Le lia’e tsy ho amam-pimoneñe, vaho tsy hañialo ao o tariratse mifandimbeo; tsy hañoren-kivoho eo t’i nte-Arabe, tsy hamahetse goloboñe ao o mpiarakeo.
21 But desert creatures will lie down there, and howling creatures will fill her houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.
Toe ho fandrea’ o fanalokeo; ho àtseke ty ontsoñontsoñe o anjomba’ iareoo, himoneñe ao o voron-tsatrañeo, vaho hitsinjake ao o lolo miogogoo.
22 Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
Hañaolo añ’anjomba-hara’ iareo ao o maràmboloo naho o amboa sirasirao an-toe’ iareo fanjakao; fa antitotse ty amotoañañe aze, vaho tsy haesoñe o andro’eo.
