Isaiah 9
1 At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.
Ie amy zao, tsy ho an-kamoromoroñañe ao ka i naloviloviy; nimavoe’e ty tane’ i Zebolone naho ty tane’ i Naftale te taolo, fe honjone’e ty enge’e añ’andro añe, le hampilifore’e volonahetse ty an-dala’ i riakey, alafe’ Iordaneiy amy Galilà’ o kilakila’ ndatioy.
2 The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.
Mahaoniñe failo ra’elahy ondaty midebedebe añ’ieñeo; mireandreañe amo mpimoneñe an-kamoromoroñañeo i hazavàñey.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.
Fa nampitomboe’o i fifeheañey, fa nonjone’o ty firebeha’ iareo; mandia-taroba ama’o iereo manahake ty hafaleañe an-tsan-kavokarañe, naho ty firoharoha’ o lahindefoñe mizara ty nikopaha’ iareoo.
4 For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou best overcome, as in the day of Median.
Fa pinoza’o i joka fijinia’ey, naho ty boda an-tsoro’e eo, vaho ty kobaim-pamorekeke aze, manahake tañ’andro’ i Midiane.
5 For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.
Le ze hana nikodokodoy am-pidabadoà’e, ze saroñe navarimbariñ’an-dio, le hatao firehetse, fanodorañ’añ’afo.
6 For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
Fa samake ho antika ty Ajaja, natolots’antika ty Ana-dahy, antsoro’e eo ty fifeheañe; ty fanoñonan-tahina’e le: Mpañoke Fanjàka, Andrianañahare Tsitongerè, Rae Nainai’e, Roandrian-kanintsiñe.
7 His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Tsy ho modo ty fitomboa’ i fifeleha’ey naho ty fierañerañañe amy fiambesa’ i Davidey naho amy fifehea’ey, hañoreñ’ aze vaho hampijadoñe aze an-kavantañañe naho havañonañe, henane zao ho nainai’e donia; ty fahimbaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ro hañeneke izay.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Nañitrike tsara am’Iakobe t’i Talè le nivotrak’ am’ Israele eo.
9 And all the people of Ephraim shall know, and the inhabitants of Samaria that say in the pride and haughtiness of their heart:
Fohi’ ze hene ondaty; toe i Efraime vaho o mpimoneñe e Someroneo, ie manao am-pirengevohañe naho fitrotroabohañe ty hoe:
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars.
Fa nirotsake o birìkeo, f’ie ho rafite’ay am-bato vinàñe; fa finira o sakoañeo, f’ie ho soloa’ay mendoraveñe.
11 And the Lord shall set up the enemies of Rasin over him, and shall bring on his enemies in a crowd:
Aa le hatroa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’eo hiatreatre i Retsine; vaho havitra’e ho raike o malaiñ’azeo,
12 The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth, For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
ho atiñanañe ey o nte-Arameo naho ahandrefañe ey o nte Pilistio; vaho habotse’ iareo am-palie mitañataña t’Israele. Ie amy zay iaby mbe tsy mivio ty haviñera’e, fa mbe mitora-kitsy ty fità’e.
13 And the people are not returned to him who hath struck them, and have not sought after the Lord of hosts.
Fe mboe tsy mitolike amy Mpandafa’ iareoy ondatio, vaho mboe tsy nitsoehe’ iareo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
14 And the Lord shall destroy out of Israel the head and the tail, him that bendeth down, and him that holdeth back, in one day.
Aa le ho kitsife’ Iehovà ami’ty andro raike ty loha naho ty rambo’ Israele, ty ran-tsatrañe naho ty vinda.
15 The aged and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Ty androanavy naho ty iasiañe ro lohà’e; ty mpitoky mañòke vande: ie ty rambo’e.
16 And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down headlong.
Amy te mampandilatse ondaty retoa o mpinday iareoo; vaho najoroboñe o endese’ iereoo;
17 Therefore the Lord shell have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his bend is stretched out still.
Aa le tsy ifalea’ i Talè o ajalahi’iareoo, vaho tsy ho tretreze’e o bode-rae naho vanto’ iareoo; fa songa tsy aman-Kake, tsy vokatse, fonga hagegeañe ze asam-palie’e. Amy hoe zay iaby mboe tsy mitolike ty haviñera’e, naho mbe mitora-kitsy ty fità’e.
18 For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high.
Misolebotse hoe afo ty hatsivokarañe; forototoe’e iaby ty fatike naho ty hisatse; eka, mimiañe añ’ala matahetse ao, vaho mivarimbariñe mb’an-dindiñe ey an-katoeñe mijoala.
19 By the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is troubled, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Ty amy fombo miforoforo’ Iehovày, hotomomoke i taney; naho hoe famahañan’afo avao ondatio, leo raike tsy mandrombake an-drahalahi’e.
20 And he shall turn to the right hand, and shall be hungry: and shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be filled: every one shell eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasses Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they together shall be against Juda.
Apitso’ ty raike ty fità’e havana; abotse’e ty fità’e havia, f’ie tsy eneñe; songa avorembore’ ty nofon-tsira’e ondatio,
21 After all these things his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Agedra’ i Menasè t’i Efraime; vaho i Efraime t’i Menasè; itraofa’ iareo fiatreke Iehodà. Ie amy hoe zay iaby mboe tsy mitolike ty haviñera’e, naho mbe mitorakitsy ty fità’e.
