Isaiah 16
1 Send forth, O Lord, the lamb, the ruler of the earth, from Petra of the desert, to the mount of the daughter of Sion.
Ahitrifo mb’amy mpanjaka’ i taney o vik’añondry boak’ an-tseram- bato miatreke i fatrambeiio, mb’am-bohin’ anak’ampela’ i Tsione mb’eo.
2 And it shall come to pass, that as a bird fleeing away, and as young ones flying out of the nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be in the passage of Arnon.
Ie amy zao manahake ty voroñe naronje boak’ an-traño’ iareo ao, o anak’ ampela’ i Moabe amy fitsaha’ i Arnoneio.
3 Take counsel, gather a council: make thy shadow as the night in the midday: hide them that flee, and betray not them that wander about.
Atorò, tampaho ty heve’o; manalinjò hoe te haleñe an-tsingilingilin’andro; aetaho o naitoañeo; ko aboake ty mipalitse.
4 My fugitives shall dwell with thee: O Moab, be thou a covert to them from the face of the destroyer: for the dust is at an end, the wretch is consumed: he hath failed, that trod the earth under foot.
Adono hañialo ama’o ao ry Moabe o naitoañe amako, ehe ampitsoloho ami’ty tarehe’ i mpamaokey. Fa añe ty mpisenge hery, nijihetse i fikopahañey, le finaoke amy taney o mpamorekekeo.
5 And a throne shall be prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.
Haoreñe am-pikokoa-migahiñe ty fiambesatse, le hiambesatse ama’e ty mpizaka an-kavantaña’e, an-kivoho’ i Davide ao, ie ty hipay ty hatò vaho halisa amy fahiti’ey.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his pride and his arrogancy, and his indignation is more than his strength.
Fa jinanji’ay ty firengevoha’ i Moabe; ie loho miebotsebotse, ty amy fitoabora’e naho ty hakavokavo’e, ty harobodroboha’e, vaho ty fisengea’e kafoake.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl to Moab, every one shall howl: to them that rejoice upon the brick walls, tell ye their stripes.
Aa le hangololoike ho a i Moabe t’i Moabe, songa hangoihoy; ho a ty mofo-mami’ i Kir-karesete ty hiroveta’ areo, tsipike ty anahelo.
8 For the suburbs of Hesebon are desolate, and the lords of the nations have destroyed the vineyard of Sabama: the branches thereof have reached even to Jazer: they have wandered in the wilderness, the branches thereof are left, they are gone over the sea.
Miforejeje o tonda’ i Kesboneo, naho ty vahe’ i Sibmà, fa pinekapeka’ o roandria’ o kilakila’ ndatioo o hatae fanjàka’eo; o nahatakatse Iazare añeo, nikariokarioke an-dratraratra ao; le nandrevake o tsampa’eo, nitsake i riakey.
9 Therefore I will lament with the weeping of Jazer the vineyard of Sabama: I will water thee with my tears, O Hesebon, and Eleale: for the voice of the treaders hath rushed in upon thy vintage, and upon thy harvest.
Aa le hindre hirovetse ami’ty firoveta’ Iazare iraho ty amy vahe’ i Sibmày; ho tondrahako ranomaso irehe ry Kesbone, naho i Eleale; ty amy havokaran’asara’oy naho ty fitataha’o, fa inay ty koike aly.
10 And gladness and joy shall be taken away from Carmel, and there shall be no rejoicing nor shouting in the vineyards. He shall not tread out wine in the press that was wont to tread it out: the voice of the treaders I have taken away.
Fa tinavañe amy tonda-kobokaray ty hafaleañe naho ty rebeke; tsy aman-tsabo o tondam-baheo, tsy amam-pazake; tsy eo ty handialia divay amo fipiritañeo; fa nampitsiñeko ty koikoi’ iareo.
11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for the brick wall.
Aa le hanoiñe hoe marovany amy Moabe ty troko, naho ho a i Kir-karesete o añ’ovakoo.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on his high places, that he shall go in to his sanctuaries to pray, and shall not prevail.
Le ho tondroke te, ho oniñe midazidazitse ankaboa’ey t’i Moabe, ie mizilike amo navahe’eo hihalaly, f’ie tsy haharongatse.
13 This is the word, that the Lord spoke to Moab from that time:
Izay ty nibekoe’ Iehovà haehae i Moabe.
14 And now the Lord hath spoken, saying: In three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be taken away for all the multitude of the people, and it shall be left small and feeble, not many.
Hoe ka t’Iehovà henaneo: Tsy hahamodo telo taoñe, ami’ty fañiahan’androm-pikarama, le ho sirikaeñe ty enge’ i Moabe naho i valobohò’ey; le ho potrapotra’e avao ty ho sisa vaho tsy hanjofake.
