Esias 9
1 Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
Fa tsy hanjombona mandrakariva ilay efa nozoim-pahoriana. Tamin’ ny taloha dia nataony tsinontsinona ny tany Zebolona sy ny tany Naftaly; Fa amin’ ny aoriana kosa dia homeny voninahitra ny lalana eo amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin’ i Jordana, Dia Galilia, tanin’ ny jentilisa.
2 O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
Ny olona izay mandeha amin’ ny maizina dia mahita mazava lehibe; Izay mitoetra amin’ ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no iposahan’ ny mazava.
3 The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
Hamaroinao ity firenena ity, Ary ampitomboinao ny hafaliany; Mifaly eo anatrehanao izy tahaka ny hafaliana amin’ ny fararano, ary tahaka ny fifalin’ ny olona, raha mizara babo.
4 Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
Fa ny bao fitondran-entany sy ny tsorakazo nikapohana ny lamosiny; Izay tsorakazon’ ny mpampiasa azy, Dia tapahinao tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro namelezana ny Midiana.
5 For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
Fa ny kiraron’ izay mitrevatreva fandeha eo amin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny ady sy ny fitafiana mihosindra dia samy hodoroana, eny, ho kitay hatohoka amin’ ny afo izany.
6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
Fa Zaza no teraka ho antsika, Zazalahy no omena antsika; Ary ny fanapahana dia eo an-tsorony, ary ny anarany atao hoe Mahagaga, Mpanolo-tsaina, Andriamanitra Mahery, Rain’ ny mandrakizay Andrian’ ny fiadanana.
7 His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgement and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
Ny handrosoan’ ny fanapahana sy ny fiadanana dia tsy hanam-pahataperana Eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida sy ny fanjakany, mba hampiorenana sy hampitoerana azy amin’ ny rariny sy ny hitsiny hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay; ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hahatanteraka izany.
8 The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
Ny Tompo mandefa teny ho an’ i Jakoba, ka mihatra amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
9 And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
Ary ho fantatr’ izy iray firenena izany, dia Efraima sy ny mponina any Samaria, izay miteny amin’ ny fiavonavonany sy ny fireharehan’ ny fony manao hoe:
10 The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
Biriky no efa nirodana, fa vato voapaika kosa no harafitsika; Aviavy no voakapa, fa sedera kosa no hasolontsika azy.
11 And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
Ary Jehovah manandratra ny rafilahin-dRezina hihoatra azy Ary mamporisika ny fahavalony,
12 [even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
Dia ny Syriana avy any atsinanana sy ny Filistina avy any andrefana; Ary misanasana vava mandrapaka ny Isiraely ireo. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tanany.
13 But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
Fa ny olona tsy miverina amin’ Izay mamely azy, Eny, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tsy mba tadiaviny.
14 So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
Ka dia nofongoran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely indray andro monja Ny loha sy ny rambo, ny sampan-drofia sy ny zozoro
15 the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
(Ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja no loha, ary ny mpaminany izay mampianatra lainga no rambo);
16 And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
Fa ny mpitarika ity firenena ity no tonga mpampivily azy, Ary izay tarihiny dia voatelina.
17 Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Ary noho izany dia tsy mahafaly an’ i Jehovah ny zatovony, ary ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena ao aminy dia tsy iantrany; Fa samy mpihatsaravelatsihy sy mpanao ratsy izy, ary ny vava rehetra mamoaka teny fahadalana. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
18 And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
Fa ny faharatsiana mandoro tahaka ny afo, Mandevona ny tsilo sy ny hery ary mampirehitra ny ala mikirindro ka mitambolimbolina tahaka ny setroka misavoana.
19 The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia efa maintin’ ny afo ny tany, ary ny olona dia tahaka ny kitay atohoka amin’ ny afo; Tsy misy olona miantra ny rahalahiny
20 But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
Ary mandripaka eny ankavanana izy nefa noana ihany; Ary mandany eny an-kavia izy, nefa tsy voky ihany; Samy mihinana ny nofon-tsandriny avy izy rehetra,
21 For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Eny, Manase mihinana an’ i Efraima, ary Efraima kosa mihinana an’ i Manase, Ary izy roa tonta dia miara-mamely an’ i Joda. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
