Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
Hankàñe amy sabaka-pisengea’ o mpijike’ i Efraimeoy, naho amy fihearam-boñe’e nifanjaka ami’ty hatsomerentsere’ey, i an-doham-bavatane vondra’ o niopo-divaioy.
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.
Heheke te manañe ty maozatse naho ty fatratse t’i Talè, hoe tio-bein-kavandran-gadaboñe, tangololahy mampianto, hoe fisorotombahan-drano mienene, ty hamokovokoam-pita’e aze an-kasiahañe mb’an-tane mb’eo.
3 The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
Ho lialiàm-pandia i sabaka niebotsebora’ o mpijike mena’ i Efraimeoy.
4 The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
Le i voñe an-doham-bavatane vondrakey ro hIheatse amy hasoa-vinta’ey, naho i sakoa loham-boan’ asaray, ie vata’e isake naho am-pità’e ao, ro habotse’e.
5 On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
Iehovà’ i Màroy ty ho halam- boñem-bolonahetse amy andro zay, Sabaka fanjaka ho a’ ondaty sehanga’eo;
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
naho ty arofo tò amy miambesatse an-jakay, Vaho haozarañe ho amo manebañe i hotakotake an-dalam-beiy.
7 These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
Avembèn-divay naho ampidaleandaleañen-toake ka retoañe: ampisiotsioren-toake ty mpisoroñe naho ty mpitoky; alihen-divay iereo, avembèn-toake; mitoantoañe añ’aroñaroñe iereo, mikolitrekolitre t’ie mizaka.
8 For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
Kanao lifo-deotse naho loa o fandambañañeo, le tsy aman-toetse malio ka.
9 Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?
Ia ty hañòha’e hilala, naho ia ty hampalangese’e i taliliy? O vaho notàñe amy rononoio hao? O vaho nasitake am-patroao hao?
10 For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
Fa, fañè manovom-pañè, fañè am-pañè, patetse am-patetse, patetse am-patetse, kede atoy, kede aroy.
11 Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
Toe am-pivimby mibedobedo, naho am-pamelen’ ambahiny, ty hisaontsia’e am’ondatio,
12 to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.
ie nanoeñe ty hoe: Fitofàñe toy; ampitofa o mokotseo; zao o fanintsiñañeo; fe tsy nañaoñe iereo.
13 Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
Aa le hoe ty hitsara’ Iehovà: Fañè tovoñam-pañè, fañè am-pañè, patetse am-patetse, patetse am-patetse, kede ty atoy, kede ty aroy. Soa te ie mandeha iereo ro hitoboly, ho pozaheñe, ho fandriheñe, vaho ho tavaneñe.
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
Aa le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry mpanivetive mifeleke ondaty e Ierosalaime ao retoa.
15 For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.” (Sheol h7585)
Ami’ty natao’ areo ty hoe: nilahatse amy Havilasiy zahay, vaho nifañina amy Tsikeokeokey; le ie misoroke atoy ty kiria mamaoke le tsy homb’ama’ay izay; fa ipalira’ay ty fandañirañe, itsoloha’ay i remborake; (Sheol h7585)
16 So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.
Aa le hoe t’i Talè Iehovà: Heheke te mampipoke faham-bato e Tsione eo iraho, vato tsinòke; vaton-kotsoke sarotse, soa fijadoñe; Tsy ho tsòtseke ty mpiato ama’e.
17 I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
Hanoeko talim-panjeheañe ty hatò, naho havantañañe ty fampimiràñe, ho faopaohen-kavandra ty fipaliram-bodiake, vaho handoparan-drano i fiampirañey.
18 Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it. (Sheol h7585)
Ho mongoreñe ty fañina’ areo amy Havilasy, tsy hijadoñe ty filahara’ areo amy Tsikeokeoke; ie mitoañe mb’eo ty kiria mamaoke, le ho lialià’e nahareo. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
Ndra mbiambia ty hirangà’e, le ho fihine’e nahareo, fa boak’ andro ty hitoaña’e, handro an-kale; vaho ho vata’e maharevendreveñe ty andrendrehañe ty tali’e.
20 Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
Loho bory ty fandreañe, tsy mete ihitsiañe, kede ty am-pohe’ i bodoy tsy mete isafononohañe.
21 For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
Hiongake hoe tam-bohi-Peratsime t’Iehovà, hitroñe manahake tam-bohi’ i Gibone, hanoe’e ty fitoloña’e —tolon-draha boidy, hihentseña’e ty sata’e—sata àlike!
22 So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
Ie amy zao, apoho ty fanivetiveañe, hera ho fihineñe o tali-randra’ areoo, fa tsinanoko amy Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy te nitseizeñe fandrotsahañe ty tane bey toy
23 Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
Mijanjiña naho tsendreño ty feoko; haoño vaho janjiño o entakoo.
24 Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
Mitrabake nainai’e hao ty mpitongy? ho troboe’e naho ho fantaña’e nainai’e hao i taney?
25 When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.
Ie fa nampirae’e i taney, tsy handraraha’e vañemba hao naho amitseza’e vihinja? Tongise’e am-piriritañe ty vare-bolè, le an-toe’e eo ty vare-horodè, vaho añ’olotse ey ty kosemete.
26 For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
Amy t’ie anareko hisafiry, mañòke aze t’i Andrianañahare’e.
27 Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
Tsy lisanem-baoñe ty vañemba, tsy aodiñ’ an-daròn-tsarete ty vihinja, fe kimokimohen-doda ty vañemba naho lisaneñ’ akalo ty vihinja.
28 Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.
Demoheñe ty vare-bolè hanoañe mofo, fa tsy lisaneñe nainai’e, eo ty mandialia aze an-tsarete reketse soavala ambone’e eo, fe tsy hotomomohe’e.
29 This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
Boak’ am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ka izay, miambake ty fanoroa’e, tsy amañ’ohatse ty hihi’e.
