Isaiah 16
1 Send ye the lambs of the ruler of the land from Sela', through the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Atero ny zanak’ ondrin’ ny mpanapaka ny tany, dia miala an’ i Sela ka mamaky ny efitra hatramin’ ny tendrombohitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy.
2 For it shall be, that, as a fugitive bird, as a chased nest, so shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.
Ary tahaka ny vorona notairina niala tamin’ ny akaniny ka mirenireny foana, dia ho toy izany ny zanakavavin’ i Moaba ao amin’ ny fitàna any Arnona.
3 Bring counsel, execute justice; render like the night thy shadow in the midst of the noonday; conceal the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.
Manolora saina, manomeza rariny ataovy tahaka ny alina ny alokao, na dia amin’ ilay andro mitataovovonana iny aza; Afeno izay voaroaka, Ary aza aseho izay mandositra!
4 Let my outcasts sojourn with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the waster: till ceaseth the extortion, past be the wasting, and vanished be the oppressor out of the land.
Aoka hitoetra ao aminao izay oloko voaroaka; Ary aoka ho fieren’ i Moaba ianao, mba tsy ho azon’ ny mpandringana izy; Fa tsy misy intsony ny mpampahory, tapitra ny loza, tsy misy amin’ ny tany intsony ny mpanosihosy.
5 And there shall be founded through kindness a throne; and there shall sit upon it in truthfulness in the tent of David a judge who seeketh justice, and is quick in righteousness.
Ary hisy seza fiandrianana hampitoerina amin’ ny famindram-po, ka hisy hipetraka eo aminy amin’ ny fahamarinana ao an-dain’ i Davida, ary hitsara sy handinika izay marina izy, sady ho faingam-pamoaka ny rariny.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; [that] he is very proud: of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath, his groundless lies.
Efa renay ny fiavonavonan’ i Moaba fatra-piavonavona loatra izy dia ny fireharehany sy ny fiavonavonany sy ny fihoa-bavany ary ny fibedibediny foana.
7 Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail; for the strong walls of Kir-charesseth shall ye lament, deeply stricken.
Ary noho izany dia ho indray midradradradra Moaba, eny, samy hidradradradra avokoa izy rehetra; Fa hitomany ny ampempam-boalobok’ i Kira-haresa ianareo ka ho ory indrindra.
8 For the fields of Cheshbon are withered, the vine of Sibmah —the lords of nations have beaten down its branches, they did reach as far as Ya'zer, into the wilderness did they wander; its tendrils were stretched forth, they passed over the sea.
Fa malazo avokoa ny sahan’ i Hesbona sy ny voalobok’ i Sibma, norantsanan’ ny andrian’ ny firenena ny sakeliny, tonga hatrany Jazera sy nisandrahaka tany an-efitra izy, ny sampany nandadilady ka tafita ny ranomasina.
9 Therefore will I weep, when weeping for Ya'zer, for the vine of Sibmah: I will moisten thee richly with my tears, O Cheshbon, and El'aleh; for over [the gathering of] thy summer fruits and over thy harvest the battle-cry is fallen.
Koa izany no hitomaniako ny voalobok’ i Sibma, toy ny fitomanian’ i Jazera, handena anao amin’ ny ranomasoko aho, ry Hesbona sy Elale; fa mihatra amin’ ny vokatrao lohataona sy ny fararanonao ny fanakorana.
10 And [thus] are taken away joy and gladness out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards shall be no singing, shall be no joyful shout: in the presses shall the treader not tread out wine; I have stopped the harvest-call.
Ny hafaliana sy ny haravoravoana efa nesorina tamin’ ny saha mahavokatra, ka tsy hisy hoby na horakoraka ao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka; Ny mpanosihosy tsy hanosihosy divay intsony ao amin’ ny famiazana; Efa natsahatro ny fihobiana amin’ ny fararano.
11 Therefore my bowels shall groan for Moab like a harp, and my inward parts for Kir-charess.
Ary noho izany ny tsinaiko dia mitaraina manao feon-dokanga noho ny amin’ i Moaba, ary ny ato anatiko noho ny amin’ i Kira-haresa.
12 And it shall come to pass, that it shall be seen that Moab is weary on the high-places; and he will come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not accomplish [aught].
Ary rehefa miseho Moaba ka sasatra ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo. Ary mankao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna mba hivavaka, dia tsy hahazo na inona na inona izy.
13 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning Moab in former times.
Izany no tenin’ i Jehovah nataony fahiny ny amin’ i Moaba.
14 But now hath the Lord spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hired laborer, shall the glory of Moab be rendered mean with all this [his] great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and inconsiderable.
Ary ankehitriny koa Jehovah miteny hoe: Amin’ ny telo taona, tahaka ny taonan’ ny mpikarama, dia ho tsinontsinona ny voninahitr’ i Moaba, na dia betsaka aza ny vahoakany; ary izay sisa dia ho vitsy, eny, ho vitsy foana, fa tsy ho maro.
