Isaiah 8
1 Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandrambesa takelake bey vaho sokiro an-tsokitse lahi’e ty hoe: Malisa ty fikopake, masika ty tsindroke,
2 And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
le ho rambeseko ho amako ty valolombelo matoe hamolily, i Orià mpisoroñe naho i Zekarià ana’ Ieberekiaho.
3 And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Aa le nimb’amy rakemba mpitokiy iraho; niaren-dre vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy. Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Itokavo ty hoe Maher-salal-kas-baze,
4 For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”
amy te aolo’ ty aharendreha’ i ajajay ty hikoike ty hoe ‘Raeko’ naho ‘Reneko,’ le fa nasese’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey añe ty vara’ i Damesèke naho ty fikopahañe i Somerone.
5 And the LORD spoke to me further:
Nitsara amako indraike t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
6 “Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Kanao nitsambolitio’ondaty retiañe ty rano’ i Siloake mitsiritsioke moray, vaho mirebeke amy Retsine naho ty ana’ i Remaliaho;
7 the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates — the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.
Inao arè te hampandipore’ i Talè am’iareo ty rano’ i Saka maozatse naho beiy: i mpanjaka’ i Asorey amy ze hene enge’e; hanginahina amo talaha’e iabio, hitoabotse ambone’ ze hene fitroara’e;
8 It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!
Hifaoke mb’e Iehodà re, handopatse vaho hiranga mb’eo, Eka ho takare’e ty fititia; hibànatse hañatseke i tane’oy ami’ty fivela’ o ela’eo, ry Imanoele.
9 Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for battle, and be shattered; prepare for battle, and be shattered!
Mijeñajeñafa ry ondaty; Midemoha! Manolora ravembia, ry an-tsietoitane añe; miteveha sadia f’ie ho demoheñe; misadia fe ho demoheñe;
10 Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”
Misafiria safiry, fe tsy hanjofake; mañotsohotso firefeañe, f’ie tsy hijadoñe fa ama’ay t’i Andrianañahare.
11 For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
Nametse amako t’Iehovà am-pità’e maozatse, nañeretse ahy tsy hanjotike ami’ ty lala’ ondaty retiañe, ami’ty hoe:
12 “Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.
Ko ano ty hoe: ‘Kilily,’ o raha iaby atao’ ondaty retiañe ho fikililiañeo; ko hembañe’o ty fihembaña’ iareo, le ko ihebakebaha’o.
13 The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.
Hamasiño t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, ie ty ihembaña’ areo, ie ty añeveña’ areo.
14 And He will be a sanctuary— but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.
Ho fitsolohañe re, fe ho vato fikotroforañe naho lamilamy fitsikapiañe amy anjomba roe’ Israele rey; ho fandrike naho koboñe amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo.
15 Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”
Hitotohitse ty maro, hikorovoke ho sèrañe, ho fandriheñe vaho ho tsepake.
16 Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.
Vahoro i fañinay, liteo ho a o mpiamakoo ty fañòha’e.
17 I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.
Le handiñe Iehovà iraho, I mañeta-daharañe amy anjomba’ Iakobey: Ama’e ao ty fitamàko.
18 Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
Intoy iraho naho o anake natolo’ Iehovà ahikoo! Viloñe naho halatsañe e Israele atoy boak’ am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, I mimoneñe am-Bohi-Tsioney.
19 When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Ie sigihe’iereo ami’ty hoe: Ipaiao amo jinio naho amo doany miñeoñeoñe naho mitreontreoñeo; Aa tsy ho paiae’ ondatio hao t’i Andrianañahare’e? Hantsaka fañahin-dolo hao o veloñeo?
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
Mb’an-Kàke naho i fañinay! Naho tsy milahatse ami’ty tsara toy ty enta’ iareo, le tsy nanjirihan’ andro.
21 They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.
Hiranga aze iereo, am-poheke naho hasalikoañe, aa ie milingoa, le ho boseke vaho hamatse i mpanjaka’ iareoy naho ty’ndrahare’ iareo. Aa ke hiandrandra iereo,
22 Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness.
hera hitolike an-tane, le haronje am-paloviloviañe naho am-pigodoñañe, an-kamoromoroñañe naho an-kaferenaiñañe vaho añ’ ieñe ao.
