Isaiah 1
1 THE VISION of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Ny fahitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, izay hitany ny amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema tamin’ ny andron’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, izay samy mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: Children I have reared, and brought up, and they have rebelled against Me.
Mandrenesa, ry lanitra, ary mihainoa, ry tany, Fa Jehovah no miteny hoe: Efa nitaiza sy nahalehibe zaza Aho, Kanjo niodina tamiko ireo.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider.
Ny omby mahalala ny tompony, Ary ny boriky ny fihinanam-bilon’ ny tompony; Fa ny Isiraely tsy mahalala, Ny oloko tsy misaina.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken the LORD, they have contemned the Holy One of Israel, they are turned away backward.
Indrisy! firenena mpanota, olona mavesa-keloka, Taranaka mpanao ratsy, zanaka mpanao meloka! Efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy, Efa nanamavo ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely. Efa nihodina izy.
5 On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
Nahoana no mbola ta-hasiana ihany ianareo noho izao fiodinanareo lalandava izao? Henika aretina avokoa ny loha rehetra, Ary marary ny fo rehetra.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
Hatramin’ ny faladia ka hatramin’ ny loha dia tsy misy izay tsy marary, Fa ratra sy dian-kapoka ary fery vao; Tsy mbola voaporitra, na voafehy, na voalemin’ ny diloilo izy.
7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.
Ny taninareo dia efa lao; Ny tanànanareo dia voadotra tamin’ ny afo; Ny tany volenareo dia lanin’ ny fahavalo eo imasonareo, ary lao izy toy ny efa noravan’ ny fahavalo.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
Ary Ziona zanakavavy dia nilaozana tahaka ny trano rantsan-kazo ao anaty tanim-boaloboka, Sy tahaka ny fandriana mihantona an’ ny mpiandry voly ao anaty tanimbolim-boantango, Dia tahaka ny tanàna atao fahirano.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Raha tsy nosisan’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro, olona vitsivitsy isika, Dia efa tonga tahaka an’ i Sodoma Ary nitovy tamin’ i Gomora.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Mandrenesa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpitsaran’ i Sodoma; Mihainoa ny lalàn’ Andriamanitsika, ry vahoakan’ i Gomora.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD; I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
Hataoko inona ny zavatra betsaka vonoinareo ho fanatitra? hoy Jehovah; Efa tofoka ny ondrilahy atao fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran’ ny zanak’ omby mifahy Aho, Ary tsy sitrako ny ran’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy sy ny an’ ny zanak’ ondry ary ny an’ ny osilahy.
12 When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
Raha avy miseho eo anatrehako ianareo, Iza moa no nitady anareo hanitsakitsaka ny kianjako?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; it is an offering of abomination unto Me; new moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations — I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.
Aza mitondra fanati-poana intsony; Fofona fahavetavetana amiko izany! Ny voaloham-bolana sy ny Sabata ary ny fiantsoam-piangonana Tsy zakako ny fivoriana masìna haroharoam-paharatsiana!
14 Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.
Ny voaloham-bolanareo sy ny fotoam-pivavahanareo dia halan’ ny fanahiko, Mavesatra amiko izany, Ka sasatra mitondra azy Aho.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
Raha mananty tanana ianareo, Dia hitampi-maso tsy hijery anareo Aho; Eny, na dia manao vavaka be aza ianareo, dia tsy hihaino Aho; Feno ran’ olona ny tananareo.
16 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;
Misasà ianareo, diovy ny tenanareo, Esory tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny masoko ny ratsy fanaonareo; Mitsahara, fa aza manao ratsy;
17 Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Mianara hanao ny tsara, Diniho izay rariny, anaro ny mpampahory, Omeo rariny ny kamboty, tsarao ny adin’ ny mpitondratena.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Avia ary hifandahatra isika, hoy Jehovah: Na dia tahaka ny jaky aza ny fahotanareo, Dia ho fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala, Na dia mangatrakatraka tahaka ny sily aza, Dia ho tahaka ny volon’ ondry fotsy.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land;
Raha manaiky sy mankatò ianareo, dia hihinana ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany;
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken.
Fa raha mbola mandà sy miodina ihany ianareo, Dia ho lanin’ ny sabatra: Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Indrisy! tonga janga ity tanàna mahatoky Izay feno ny rariny taloha Sady nitoeran’ ny fahamarinana, Fa ankehitriny kosa mpamono olona no ao.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
Ny volafotsinao efa tonga tain-drendrika; Ny divainao efa voatsatso rano;
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Ny lehibenao dia mpiodina sady naman’ ny mpangalatra; Samy tia kolikoly sy fatra-nitady tambitam-by avokoa izy rehetra; Ny kamboty tsy mba omeny rariny, Ary ny adin’ ny mpitondratena tsy avelany ho entina eo anatrehany.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies;
Ka dia hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ilay Maherin’ ny Isiraely: E! hiala fo amin’ ny mandrafy Ahy Aho Ary hamaly ny fahavaloko.
25 And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purge away thy dross as with lye, and will take away all thine alloy;
Dia hamerina ny tanako ho aminao Aho, Ka hodioviko amin’ ny lavenona ianao hahafahan’ ny tain-drendrikao, ary hesoriko ny firaka rehetra aminao.
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Dia hampodiko ho toy ny teo aloha ny mpitsaranao, Ary ny mpanolo-tsainao ho toy ny tamin’ ny voalohany; Ary rehefa afaka izany, ianao dia hantsoina hoe: Tanànan’ ny fahamarinana, Tanàna mahatoky.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.
Ziona havotana amin’ ny fitsarana, ary izay efa mibebaka ao dia havotana amin’ ny fahamarinana;
28 But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Ary samy haringana avotoa ny mpiodina sy ny mpanota, Eny, ho lany ritra izay mahafoy an’ i Jehovah.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
Fa hahazo henatra ianareo noho ny amin’ ny hazo terebinta izay nifalianareo, ary hangaihay ianareo noho ny amin’ ny saha izay natokanareo.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Fa ho tahaka ny hazo terebinta malazo ravina ianareo, Sy ho tahaka ny saha tsy misy rano.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Ny mahery ho tahaka ny vohavoha, Ary ny asany ho tahaka ny kilalaon’ afo, Dia hiaraka hodorana izy roa tonta, Ka tsy hisy hamono ny afo.
