Isaiah 9
1 NEVERTHELESS the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
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: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Mahaoniñe failo ra’elahy ondaty midebedebe añ’ieñeo; mireandreañe amo mpimoneñe an-kamoromoroñañeo i hazavàñey.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
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 thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
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 battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
Le ze hana nikodokodoy am-pidabadoà’e, ze saroñe navarimbariñ’an-dio, le hatao firehetse, fanodorañ’añ’afo.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, 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 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even 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 shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of 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 hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Fa nirotsake o birìkeo, f’ie ho rafite’ay am-bato vinàñe; fa finira o sakoañeo, f’ie ho soloa’ay mendoraveñe.
11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
Aa le hatroa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’eo hiatreatre i Retsine; vaho havitra’e ho raike o malaiñ’azeo,
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger 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 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.
Fe mboe tsy mitolike amy Mpandafa’ iareoy ondatio, vaho mboe tsy nitsoehe’ iareo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, 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 ancient 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 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Amy te mampandilatse ondaty retoa o mpinday iareoo; vaho najoroboñe o endese’ iereoo;
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand 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 burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
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 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of 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 snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
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 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger 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.
