Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Ty nibekoeñe i Damesèke: Hehe te nasintake amy Damesèke ty maharova aze, fa ho votrem-porompotse.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Naforintseñe o rova’ i Aroereo, ho fandrean’ añondry, tsy eo ty hañembañe iareo.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of hosts.
Ho modo ka ty kijoli-abo’ i Efraime, naho ty fifehea’ i Damesèke; fa hanahake ty enge’ o nte-Israeleo ty sisa’ i Arame, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
Ie amy andro zay, le hanoeñe matify ty volonahe’ Iakobe, vaho hinike ho boroka ty havondra’ i sandri’ey.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathers ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Le hanahake ty fanontonam-panatake o tsako miadaoroo, ie manifo o tsakoo an-tsira’e eo; eka le hanahake ty fañoroñañe ty voto’e ambavatane’ i Rafà ao.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, says the LORD God of Israel.
Fe mbe hapoke eo ty nengañe, manahake ty fañintsañañe zaite, t’ie telo ndra roe ty an-dengo’ i singa’e amboney, lime ndra efatse ty an-katae miregorego, hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Amy andro zay, hañaoñe i Namboatse azey t’indaty, naho hampiandra fihaino mb’amy Masi’ Israeley
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
Tsy ho haoñe’e o kitrelio, o satam-pità’eo, vaho tsy ho tolihe’e o nitsenen-drambo-pità’eo, ndra o Asereo, ndra o kitrelin’ embokeo.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
O rova’e maozatseo amy andro zay, le ho koake hoe tsampa’e napoke añ’ala, hoe singa’e nadoke ty amo ana’ Israeleo, vaho hangoakoake ty ao.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore shall you plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with strange slips:
Amy te nihaliño’o t’i Andrianañaharem-pandrombahañ’ azo, le nandikofa’o ty Lamilamin-kaozara’o; aa le hambole hatae soasoa irehe, vaho haketsa’o ho an-drahare ambahiny ty tora-katae.
11 In the day shall you make your plant to grow, and in the morning shall you make your seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Nifahera’o amy andro nambolè’o azey, maraindray re ro ampamoñea’o i tiri’oy; fe votrim-porompotse ty ho voka’e, amy andron-kasilofañe naho fanaintaiñañey.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
Hedey! ty fikoraha’ o mitozantozañeo, mitroñe manahake ty fitroña’ i riakey; naho ty fidabadoà’ o kilakila ‘ndatio hambañe ami’ty fisorotombahan-drano bey!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
Le hitabatroake manahake ty fitotsaha’ ty rano bey o fifeheañeo; fe hendaha’e, le hioratse añe iereo, vaho ho horidañeñe hoe kafo’e am-bohitsey añatrefa’ i tiokey, manahake ty fibòn-deboke miviombio aolo’ ty tiobey.
14 And behold at evening trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Ie hariva, hehe te hekoheko; ie miporea’ ty maraindray le tsy eo; izay ty anjara’ o mañaoke anaio, vaho ty tambe’ o mampikametse ama’aio.
