< Isaiah 27 >

1 At that time the Lord will take his sharp, large, and strong sword, and punish Leviathan, the slithering serpent, and Leviathan, the coiled serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.
Amy andro zay, le amy fibara’e mitrotrofiake ra’elahy naho maozatsey ty handilova’ Iehovà i fañaneñey, toe i mereñe mibotatsakey; ty fañaneñe, i mereñe mivanditsey; vaho ho vonoe’e i fañanen-driakey.
2 At that time, sing about a beautiful vineyard.
Ie tondroke i andro zay: Tetem-bahe fanjàka! Isabò!
3 I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it.
Izaho Iehovà ty miambeñe aze, tondrahako rano erike; ambenako haleñe naho handro tsy mone ho joieñe.
4 I'm not angry anymore. If there are thorns and brambles I would go and fight them, burning them all up,
Tsy mifombo ty an-troko ao, Ie mea’e hisatse naho fatike iraho, le ho lialiako, haharoko forototoeñe.
5 Otherwise they should come to me for protection. They should make their peace with me, yes, make their peace with me.
Naho tsy izay, ee te hiatoa’e ty ­haozarako, hifampilongo amako; ehe t’ie hifampirañetse amako.
6 In the future the descendants of Jacob will be like a tree taking root. Israel will flower and send out shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit!
Ho tondroke ty andro te ­hamahatse t’Iakobe, hibotiboty naho hitaroke t’Israele; vaho ho tsitsi-kavokarañe ty an-tarehe’ ty tane toy.
7 Has the Lord hit Israel as he hit those that attacked them? Were they killed like their killers were killed?
Linafa’e hao re manahake ty nandafa’e o nandafa azeo? He vinono re hambañe ami’ty nanjamane’e o namono azeo?
8 You dealt with them by sending them into exile, by banishing them. He drove them away with his powerful force, like when the east wind blows.
Fandroahañe, faneseañe mb’eo añe ty nihotakotaha’o am’ iereo; amy kofò’e mangosasàkey ty nampisitaha’e iareo amy andro’ i tioke atiñanañeiy.
9 Through this experience Jacob's guilt will be forgiven. The removal of their sins will come to fruition when they take all the pagan altar stones and crush them to pieces like chalk—no Asherah poles or altars of incense will be left standing.
Fa izay ty hijebañe Iakobe ty amo tahi’eo, zao ty havokarañe handopolopo ty amy nañahàñe o hakeo’eoy: te ho fonga dorodemohe’e ty vato’ o kitrelio, tsy hitroatse ka o hazomangao naho o sare’ i àndroio.
10 The fortified city will be abandoned, its houses as empty and lonely as a desert. Cattle will graze and rest there, stripping bare the branches of its trees.
Miereñereñe i rova soa-fikalañey, kialo koake naho naforintseñe manahake i fatrañey, ho fiandraza’ o anak’añombeo, eo ty andrea’ iareo, eo ty añolira’ iareo o tsampa’eo.
11 Their dry branches are broken off and used by women to make fires. This is a people that doesn't have any sense, so their Maker won't feel sorry for them, and their Creator won't help them.
Hapekañe o tsampa’e niforejejeo; homb’eo o rakembao handrehetse aze; amy t’ie tsy ondaty mahilala, aa le tsy hiferenaiña’ i Namboatse iareoy, tsy hitretreza’ i Nitsene iareoy.
12 At that time the Lord will thresh the grain harvested from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered up one by one.
Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hanatake boak’ amy fikararaha’ i Oñey pak’ amy Toraha’ i Mitsraimey t’Iehovà, le hatontoñe kiraikiraike nahareo, ry ana’ Israeleo.
13 At that time a loud trumpet will sound, and those who were dying in Assyria will return along with those exiled in Egypt. They will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Le ho popoheñe amy andro zay ty antsiva jabajaba vaho hikovovoke mb’ etoa o nimotso an-tane’ i Asoreo naho o nampitsiran­tsiràñe an-tane Mitsraimeo hitalahoa’ iareo am’ Iehovà amy vohi-miavake e Ierosalaimey.
