< Isaiah 19 >

1 This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Indro, Jehovah mitaingina rahona miriotra mafy ka mankany Egypta; Ary ny andriamani-tsi-izy any Egypta dia mangorohoro eo anatrehany, ary ny fon’ i Egypta dia ketraka ao anatiny.
2 “So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Ary hamporisihiko hiady izy samy Egyptiana, ka samy hiady amin’ ny rahalahiny avy sy amin’ ny namany avy izy; Ny tanàna hiady amin’ ny tanàna, ary ny fanjakana amin’ ny fanjakana.
3 Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
Ary ho very hevitra ny Egyptiana; Eny, hofoanako ny saina ataony; Ary hila saina amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy sy amin’ ny mpibitsibitsika amin’ ny odiny izy sy amin’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra ary amin’ ny mpanao sikidy.
4 I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
Ary Egypta dia hatolotro hogiazana amin’ izay fitondrana mafy, ary mpanjaka masiaka no hanjaka aminy, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
5 The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
Ny rano amin’ ny ranomasina ho tankina, ary ny ony ho ritra ka ho maina;
6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
Ho maimbo ny sampantsampan’ ny ony; Ary ny lahin-dranon’ i Egypta hihena ka ho maina; Ny volotara sy ny zozoro halazo;
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
Ny tany eny amoron’ i Neily sy ny tanimbary rehetra eny amoron’ i Neily samy ho maina sy hanjary vovoka ka tsy ho eo intsony.
8 Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
Dia hitomany ny mpaka hazandrano, ary hisaona ny mpamintana rehetra ao Neily, Ary ho reraka ny mpandatsaka harato amin’ ny rano.
9 The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
Ho very fanantenana izay mandraotra rongony amin’ ny fihogo sy izay manenona hariry.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
Ny andrin’ ny tany ho torotoro, ary ny mpikarama rehetra halahelo.
11 The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
Efa adala mihitsy ny mpanapaka any Zoana; Hevi-poana no avoak’ izay hendry indrindra amin’ ny mpanolotsain’ i Farao; Ahoana no ilazanareo amin’ i Farao hoe: Zanak’ olon-kendry aho sady taranak’ ireo mpanjaka fahagola?
12 Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
Aiza ary ireo olon-kendrinao ireo? Aoka hanambara aminao izy, ary aoka ho fantany izay nokasain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, hatao amin’ i Egypta.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
Efa adala ny mpanapaka any Zoana, efa voafitaka ny mpanapaka any Memfisa; Ary efa nampivembena an’ i Egypta ireo fehizoron’ ny fireneny.
14 The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
Jehovah efa nampidina fanahy mampandraingiraingy teo Egypta; ka efa nampivembena azy tamin’ ny asany rehetra ireo, dia tahaka ny olona mamo miraingiraingy sady mandoa.
15 There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
Samy tsy hahatontosa ny asany ny Egyptiana, na ny loha na ny rambo, na ny sampan-drofia na ny zozoro.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia ho tahaka ny vehivavy Egypta ka ho toran-kovitra sy ho raiki-tahotra noho ny faninjitr’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ny tànany, izay ahinjiny hamelezany azy.
17 The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
Ary ny tanin’ ny Joda dia ho fahatahoran’ i Egypta, ka na oviana na oviana no misy miresaka izany aminy dia ho raiki-tahotra izy noho ny fikasan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, izay kasainy ny amin’ ny hamelezana azy.
18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy tanana dimy amin’ ny tany Egypta samy hiteny ny fitenin’ i Kanana sy hianiana ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Ny anankiray hatao hoe Ira-haresa.
19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy alitara ho an’ i Jehovah eo amin’ ny tany Egypta sy tsangam-bato eo an-tsisiny ho an’ i Jehovah.
20 It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
Ary ho famantarana sy vavolombelona ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ao amin’ ny tany Egypta izany; Fa hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah noho ny mpampahory izy, ary haniraka mpamonjy sy mpiaro ho ao aminy Izy ka hamonjy azy.
21 The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
Ary Jehovah hanao izay hahafantaran’ ny Egyptiana Azy, ary ny Egyptiana kosa hahalala an’ i Jehovah amin’ izany andro izany; Dia hanompo Azy amin’ ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy amin’ ny fanatitra hohanina izy ka hivoady amin’ i Jehovah sady hanefa ny voadiny.
22 And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
Ary Jehovah hamely ny Egyptiana, eny, fa sady hamely Izy no hanasitrana; Dia hiverina ho any amin’ i Jehovah ireo, ka hekeny ny fangatahany, ary hositraniny izy.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy lalambe avy any Egypta mankany Asyria, koa ny Asyriana dia hankany Egypta, ary ny Egyptiana kosa hankany Asyria, ary ny Egyptiana sy ny Asyriana hiara-mivavaka.
24 In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
Amin’ izany andro izany ny Isiraely no ho fahatelony amin’ i Egypta sy Asyria ho fitahiana eo amin’ ny tany;
25 The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
Fa hotahin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ireo ka hataony hoe: Hotahina anie Egypta oloko, sy Asyria, asan’ ny tanako, ary Isiraely lovako.
