< Esias 1 >

1 The vision which Esaias the son of Amos saw, which he saw against Juda, and against Jerusalem, in the reign of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, who reigned over Judea.
I aroñaroñe nioni’Iesaià ana’ i Amotse ty am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime tañ’andro’ i Ozià, Iotame, Iakaze, naho Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
2 Hear, O heaven, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, [saying], I have begotten and reared up children, but they have rebelled against me.
Mitsanoña ry likerañeo, manolora sofiñe ty tane toy, fa mitsara t’Iehovà. Nañabey naho nampi­tombo anake iraho, f’ie niola.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know me, and the people has not regarded me.
Apota ty añombelahy ty tompo’e, naho ty borìke ty lokaloka’ i mpanehak’ azey; fe tsy mahafohiñe t’Israele, tsy maharendreke ondatikoo.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: ye have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
Ry boriza aman-kakeo, ondaty mijiny tahiñeo, tirim-panao raty, anake mitolon-kamengohañe! fa nifarie’ iereo t’Iehovà, nitsambolitio’ iereo t’i Masi’ Israele, aliheñe iereo vaho midisa-voly.
5 Why should ye be smitten [any] more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.
Ino ty mbe hanilofañe anahareo, ie mbe mitolom-piola avao? Marare iaby ty añambone, hene toirañe ty arofo.
6 From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer [are healed]: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages.
Boak’an-dela-pandia pak’añambone’e, tsy ama’e ty janga, fa fere, vonotroboke naho bae miborentatse: tsy nitindrieñe, tsy nibandieñe, tsy nihosoren-tsolike.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.
Mangoakoake ty tane’ areo; finorototo’ ty afo ty rova’ areo; fa nabotse’ ty ambahiny añatrefa’ areo ty tane’ areo; le koake, hoe t’ie navalitaboam-pisorotombahañe.
8 The daughter of Sion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
Le nengañe hoe kijà an-tetem-bahe ey ty anak’ampela’ i Tsione, hoe kibohotse an-tanem-bazavo ao, hoe rova arikatohem-paname.
9 And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been made like Gomorrha.
Naho tsy sinisa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy sehanga’e tikañe, le ho ni-hoe Sedome, ho nanahake i Amorà.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodoma; attend to the law of God, thou people of Gomorrha.
Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpifehe’ i Sedome; toloro ravembia i Tsaran’ Añaharen-tikañey, ry nte-Amorà.
11 Of what [value] to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am full of whole-burnt-offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats:
Inoñ’amako o soroñe mitozantozañeo? Hoe t’Iehovà: Fa mahaetsak’ahy o añondrilahy engaeñe horoañeo, naho o safom-biby vinondrakeo; tsy mahafale ahy ty liom-bania ndra o vik’añondrio, ndra o añondrilahio.
12 neither shall ye come [with these] to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? Ye shall no more tread my court.
Ie mb’etoa nahareo hiatrek’ amako, ia ty nipay am-pità’ areo te ho lialià’ areo o kiririsakoo?
13 Though ye bring fine flour, [it is] vain; incense is an abomination to me; I cannot bear your new moons, and your sabbaths, and the great day;
Ko añenga’areo raha koake ka; ie enga tiva amako; O jiribolañeo, o Sabatao, o fivory koiheñeo: Tsy leoko o fivori-miavake milaro haratiañeo.
14 [your] fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: ye have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.
Heje’ ty troko o jiri’bola’ areoo naho o takataka-tinendre’ areoo; Ie manosots’ ahy, hejeko ho vaveñe.
15 When ye stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though ye make many supplications, I will not hearken to you; for your hands are full of blood.
Naho amelara’areo tañañe, le ho takonako ty masoko; Eka ndra t’ie mitolon-kalaly, tsy ho tsanoñeko, fa pea lio o fità’ areoo.
16 Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities;
Miandroa, miliova; asitaho tsy ho aolo’ masoko ty halò-tserem-pitoloña’ areo; mijihera amo fanoañe ratio.
17 learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.
Mianara hanao ty soa; tsoeho ty hato, avotsoro o forekekeñeo, omeo to ty bode rae, mihalalia ho a o vantotseo.
18 And come, let us reason together, saith the Lord: and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.
Antao hisafiry arè, hoe t’Iehovà: ndra te mena mandofiry ty hakeo’ areo, le ho foty matsatsaoke; ndra t’ie mena mañabasà, le hanahake volon’añondry.
19 And if ye be willing, and hearken to me, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Ie miato naho tsy manjehatse, ro hikama ty hasoa’ i taney.
20 but if ye be not willing, nor hearken to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
F’ie mandietse vaho miola, le habotse’ ty fibara; izay ty nitsaraem-palie’ Iehovà.
21 How has the faithful city Sion, [once] full of judgment, become a harlot! wherein righteousness lodged, but now murderers.
Akore te nanjare karapilo i rova matoey! ie nilifotse ty hatò, nimoneñe an-kavañonañe, te mone mpañoho-doza henaneo.
22 Your silver is worthless, thy wine merchants mix the wine with water.
Fa tai’e avao ty volafoti’o, botsa-drano ty divai’o.
23 Thy princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.
Mpikitro-karatiañe o ana-dona’oo, mpirañetse ami’ty malaso; songa mpitea vokàñe naho mpañori-tambe; tsy mea’ iereo to ty bode rae, vaho tsy atrefe’ iareo ty entam-bantotse.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty [men] of Israel; for my wrath shall not cease against mine adversaries, and I will execute judgment on mine enemies.
Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Hafatrara’ Israeley: Hete! Hafahako amako o rafelahikoo, vaho ho valèko o malaiñe ahikoo;
25 And I will bring my hand upon thee, and purge thee completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from thee all transgressors.
Le hahimpako ama’o ty tañako, naho ho lioveko hoe amañ’asidra ty taim-bi’o, vaho hafahako iaby o kanki’oo;
26 And I will establish thy judges as before, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.
Le hampoliko o mpizaka’oo manahake tam-baloha’e añe, naho o mpanolo-keve’oo hambañe am-pifotora’e añe: vaho hatao ty hoe irehe: Rova-Kavantañañe, Posetse Matoe.
27 For her captives shall be saved with judgment, and with mercy.
Ho jebañeñe ami’ty hatò ty Tsione, naho an-­kavantañañe o aze mimpolio.
28 And the transgressors and the sinners shall be crushed together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be utterly consumed.
Fe hitrao-pirotsahañe o mpanan-kakeo naho mpanan-tahiñeo, vaho ho hotomomoheñe ze mienga Iehovà.
29 For they shall be ashamed of their idols, which they delighted in, and they are made ashamed of the gardens which they coveted.
Toe hisalara’ iereo o kile nisalalaeñeo, vaho himeñara’ areo o goloboñe nivihañeo.
30 For they shall be as a turpentine tree that has cast its leaves, and as a garden that has no water.
Hanahake ty kile aman-drave’e miheatse nahareo, naho hoe goloboñe tsy aman-drano.
31 And their strength shall be as a thread of tow, and their works as sparks, and the transgressors and the sinners shall be burnt up together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
Ho pipìke ty maozatse, ho tsipelats’afo o tolon-draha’eo; hiharo hiforehetse iereon-droroe, le tsy eo ty hampikipeke.
