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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandrambesa takelake bey vaho sokiro an-tsokitse lahi’e ty hoe: Malisa ty fikopake, masika ty tsindroke,
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
le ho rambeseko ho amako ty valolombelo matoe hamolily, i Orià mpisoroñe naho i Zekarià ana’ Ieberekiaho.
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.
Aa le nimb’amy rakemba mpitokiy iraho; niaren-dre vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy. Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Itokavo ty hoe Maher-salal-kas-baze,
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.
amy te aolo’ ty aharendreha’ i ajajay ty hikoike ty hoe ‘Raeko’ naho ‘Reneko,’ le fa nasese’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey añe ty vara’ i Damesèke naho ty fikopahañe i Somerone.
5 And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
Nitsara amako indraike t’Iehovà nanao ty 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:
Kanao nitsambolitio’ondaty retiañe ty rano’ i Siloake mitsiritsioke moray, vaho mirebeke amy Retsine naho ty ana’ i Remaliaho;
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,
Inao arè te hampandipore’ i Talè am’iareo ty rano’ i Saka maozatse naho beiy: i mpanjaka’ i Asorey amy ze hene enge’e; hanginahina amo talaha’e iabio, hitoabotse ambone’ ze hene fitroara’e;
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.
Hifaoke mb’e Iehodà re, handopatse vaho hiranga mb’eo, Eka ho takare’e ty fititia; hibànatse hañatseke i tane’oy ami’ty fivela’ o ela’eo, ry Imanoele.
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.
Mijeñajeñafa ry ondaty; Midemoha! Manolora ravembia, ry an-tsietoitane añe; miteveha sadia f’ie ho demoheñe; misadia fe ho demoheñe;
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.
Misafiria safiry, fe tsy hanjofake; mañotsohotso firefeañe, f’ie tsy hijadoñe fa ama’ay t’i Andrianañahare.
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:
Nametse amako t’Iehovà am-pità’e maozatse, nañeretse ahy tsy hanjotike ami’ ty lala’ ondaty retiañe, ami’ty hoe:
12 Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
Ko ano ty hoe: ‘Kilily,’ o raha iaby atao’ ondaty retiañe ho fikililiañeo; ko hembañe’o ty fihembaña’ iareo, le ko ihebakebaha’o.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Hamasiño t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, ie ty ihembaña’ areo, ie ty añeveña’ areo.
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.
Ho fitsolohañe re, fe ho vato fikotroforañe naho lamilamy fitsikapiañe amy anjomba roe’ Israele rey; ho fandrike naho koboñe amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo.
15 And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
Hitotohitse ty maro, hikorovoke ho sèrañe, ho fandriheñe vaho ho tsepake.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Vahoro i fañinay, liteo ho a o mpiamakoo ty fañòha’e.
17 And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Le handiñe Iehovà iraho, I mañeta-daharañe amy anjomba’ Iakobey: Ama’e ao ty fitamàko.
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.
Intoy iraho naho o anake natolo’ Iehovà ahikoo! Viloñe naho halatsañe e Israele atoy boak’ am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, I mimoneñe am-Bohi-Tsioney.
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?
Ie sigihe’iereo ami’ty hoe: Ipaiao amo jinio naho amo doany miñeoñeoñe naho mitreontreoñeo; Aa tsy ho paiae’ ondatio hao t’i Andrianañahare’e? Hantsaka fañahin-dolo hao o veloñeo?
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.
Mb’an-Kàke naho i fañinay! Naho tsy milahatse ami’ty tsara toy ty enta’ iareo, le tsy nanjirihan’ andro.
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.
Hiranga aze iereo, am-poheke naho hasalikoañe, aa ie milingoa, le ho boseke vaho hamatse i mpanjaka’ iareoy naho ty’ndrahare’ iareo. Aa ke hiandrandra iereo,
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.
hera hitolike an-tane, le haronje am-paloviloviañe naho am-pigodoñañe, an-kamoromoroñañe naho an-kaferenaiñañe vaho añ’ ieñe ao.
