Isaiah 8
1 And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mangalà fafana lehibe, ka soraty aminy araka ny fanoratry ny olona hoe: “Ho an’ i Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.”
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
Ary haka vavolombelona mahatoky Aho, dia Oria mpisorona sy Zakaria, zanakalahin’ i Jeberekia.
3 And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
Ary nankany amin’ ny mpaminanivavy, aho; dia nanan’ anaka izy ka niteraka zazalahy. Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aoka ny anarany hataonao hoe Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.
4 For before the child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
Fa raha tsy mbola mahatonona hoe Idada na Ineny io zazalahy io, dia hobaboina eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ny haren’ i Damaskosy sy ny fananan’ i Samaria.
5 And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
Ary Jehovah dia mbola niteny tamiko indray hoe:
6 Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
Satria ity firenena ity mandà ny rano Siloa izay misononoka Ary mifaly amin-dRezina sy ny zanak’ i Remalia,
7 Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his banks,
Dia, indro, hampiakarin’ ny Tompo hanafotra azy ny rano be sady manonja amin’ ny Ony (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy ny voninahiny rehetra); Ary ny masondranony rehetra ho tondraka, Ary ny morony rehetra hihoarany;
8 And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
Dia himaona fatratra izy ka hihatra amin’ ny Joda Ary hanafotra sady mbola hisondrotra ihany Mandra-pahatongany havozona; Ary ny fipasany eny an-daniny roa dia hanenika ny taninao, ry Imanoela ô.
9 Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
Misafoaha ihany ianareo, ry firenena ô, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy ianareo; Ary mihainoa ihany, ry tany lavitra rehetra, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy; Eny, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.
Makà saina ihany ianareo, nefa mbola hofoanana izany; Milazà ihany ny teny, nefa tsy ho tanteraka izany tsy akory; Fa aminay Andriamanitra.
11 For thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko, raha nanindry ahy mafy ny tànany, Ka nanariny tsy handeha amin’ ny falehan’ ity firenena ity aho:
12 Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
Aza mba lazainareo ho tetika fikomiana izay lazain’ ity firenena ity ho tetika fikomiana; Ary aza matahotra izay atahorany na mangovitra ianareo.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hasino; Ary aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, Ary Izy ihany no hangovitanareo.
14 And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Dia ho fitoerana masìna ho anareo Izy, Fa ho vato mahatafintohina sy vatolampy mahasolafaka kosa Amin’ ny firenena roa amin’ ny Isiraely, sady ho fandrika sy tonta Amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema.
15 And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
Ary maro ao aminy no ho tafintohina sady ho lavo sy ho ringana Ary ho voafandrika sy ho voasambotra.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Fehezo ny teni-vavolombelona, Ary asio tombo-kase ny lalàna eo amin’ ny mpianatro.
17 And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Ary hiandry an’ i Jehovah aho Izay manafina ny tavany amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Ka hanantena Azy ihany aho.
18 Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
Indreto, izaho sy ireo zaza nomen’ i Jehovah ahy dia famantarana sy fahagagana ao amin’ ny Isiraely Avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay monina ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona.
19 And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead?
Ary raha lazainy aminareo hoe: Milà saina amin’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao sikidy, izay mitsiatsiaka sy miboeriboerika, Moa tsy Andriamaniny va no tokony hilan’ ny olona saina? Fa hila saina amin’ ny maty ho an’ ny velona va izy?
20 To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
Ho amin’ ny lalàna sy ny teni-vavolombelona ihany! Raha tsy miteny araka izany teny izany izy, Dia olona izay tsy hiposahan’ ny fahazavan’ ny maraina.
21 And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
Dia samy hivezivezy amin’ ny tany izy rehetra sady mahantra no mosarena; Ary rehefa mosarena izy, dia ho sosotra ka hanozona ny mpanjakany sy Andriamaniny, ary dia hiandrandra;
22 And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
Ary hijery ny tany izy, ka indro fahoriana sy fahamaizinana ary manjombona mahafadiranovana, Ary horoahina ho any amin’ ny aizim-pito izy.
