< Esias 47 >

1 Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and luxurious.
Mialà, ka mipetraha amin’ ny vovoka, ry Babylona, zanakavavy virijina! Mipetraha eo amin’ ny tany, fa tsy amin’ ny seza fiandrianana, ry Kaldea zanakavavy! Fa tsy hatao hoe vehivavy malemilemy sy mihantahanta intsony ianao.
2 Take a millstone, grind meal: remove thy veil, uncover thy white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.
Alao ny vato fikosoham-bary, ka kosohy ny koba; esory ny fisalobonanao, akaro ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao; aoka hiseho ny fenao, ka miroboha mita ny ony.
3 Thy shame shall be uncovered, thy reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of thee due vengeance, I will no longer deliver thee to men.
Hiseho ny fitanjahanao, eny, ho hita ny fahamenaranao; hitondra famaliana Aho ka tsy hiantra olona.
4 Thy deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.
Ny anaran’ ny Mpanavotra anay dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
5 Sit thou down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: thou shalt no more be called the strength of a kingdom.
Mipetraha mangingina, ka midìra ao amin’ ny maizina, ry Kaldea zanakavavy! Fa tsy hatao hoe Tompovavin’ ny fanjakana intsony ianao.
6 I have been provoked with my people; thou hast defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into thy hand, but thou didst not extend mercy to them: thou madest the yoke of the aged man very heavy,
Tezitra tamin’ ny oloko Aho; navelako holotoina ny lovako, ka natolotro ho eo an-tananao izy, tsy mba namindranao fo izy, fa na dia ny antitra aza dia nasianao zioga mavesatra dia mavesatra.
7 and saidst, I shall be a princess for ever: thou didst not perceive these things in thine heart, nor didst thou remember the latter end.
Ary hoy ianao: Ho tompovavy mandrakizay Aho; ka dia tsy nandatsaka am-po izany zavatra izany ianao, na nitsapa izay hiafarany.
8 But now hear these words, thou luxurious one, [who art] the one that sits [at ease], that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.
Koa mihainoa, ianao izay mihantahanta sady mipetraka tsy manana ahiahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Izaho no izy, ary tsy misy hafa; tsy hipetraka ho mpitondratena aho, na hahita fahafoanan’ anaka.
9 But now these two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon thee, for thy sorcery, for the strength of thine enchantments,
Kanjo hanjo anao tampoka amin’ ny indray andro monja ireto zavatra roa ireto, dia ny fahafoanan’ anaka sy ny fananoan-tena; Hotanterahina aminao avokoa izany, na dia maro aza ny fankatovanao, ary na dia be dia be aza ny odinao.
10 for thy trusting in wickedness: for thou saidst, I am, and there is not another: know thou, the understanding of these things and thy harlotry shall be thy shame; for thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is not another.
Fa nitoky tamin’ ny faharatsianao ianao ka nanao hoe: Tsy misy mahita ahy. Ny fahendrenao sy ny fahalalanao dia nampivily anao, ka dia nanao anakampo ianao hoe: Izaho no izy, fa tsy misy afa-tsy izaho.
11 And destruction shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be aware; [there shall be a] pit, and thou shalt fall into it: and grief shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon thee, and thou shalt not know.
Kanjo hanjo anao ny fahoriana, nefa tsy ho fantatrao izay fanafany; Ary hahazo anao ny loza, nefa tsy ho hainao ny fanàlany; eny, hanjo anao tampoka ny fandringanana izay tsy ampoizinao.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the abundance of thy sorcery, which thou hast learned from thy youth; if thou canst be profited.
Arosoy ary ny odinao sy ny hamaroan’ ny fankatovanao, izay efa nisasaranao hatry ny fony ianao mbola kely; Angamba hahavita izay mahasoa ianao; angamba ho tonga mahatahotra ianao.
13 Thou art wearied in thy counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver thee, let them that see the stars tell thee what is about to come upon thee.
Sasatra noho ny hamaroan’ ny fisainanao ianao; aoka hitsangana ankehitriny ireo mpamantatra ny lanitra sy mpandinika ny kintana ireo hamonjy anao, dia ireo mpanambara isaky ny tsinam-bolana izay zavatra ho tonga aminao.
14 Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because thou hast coals of fire, sit thou upon them;
Indro, fa ho tahaka ny vodivary ireo; ho main’ ny afo izy ka tsy hahavonjy ny tenany amin’ ny herin’ ny lelafo akory; tsy misy vainafo hamindroana, na afo hitaninana aza.
15 these shall be thy help. Thou hast wearied thyself with traffic from thy youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but thou shalt have no deliverance.
Ho toy izany aminao ireo efa nisasaranao ireo, dia ireo nifampivarotra taminao hatry ny fony ianao mbola kely; samy hipariaka mandositra ho any amin’ ny fonenany avy izy, ka tsy hisy hahavonjy anao.
