Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, 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 sitting in darkness have seen a great light. Those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has shined.
Mahaoniñe failo ra’elahy ondaty midebedebe añ’ieñeo; mireandreañe amo mpimoneñe an-kamoromoroñañeo i hazavàñey.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased his joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, 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 the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken 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 all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
Le ze hana nikodokodoy am-pidabadoà’e, ze saroñe navarimbariñ’an-dio, le hatao firehetse, fanodorañ’añ’afo.
6 For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, 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 of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. 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 falls on Israel.
Nañitrike tsara am’Iakobe t’i Talè le nivotrak’ am’ Israele eo.
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance 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 have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."
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 will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
Aa le hatroa’ Iehovà o rafelahi’eo hiatreatre i Retsine; vaho havitra’e ho raike o malaiñ’azeo,
12 The Arameans in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will 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 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought 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, palm branch and reed, 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 elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
Ty androanavy naho ty iasiañe ro lohà’e; ty mpitoky mañòke vande: ie ty rambo’e.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Amy te mampandilatse ondaty retoa o mpinday iareoo; vaho najoroboñe o endese’ iereoo;
17 Therefore the LORD will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks 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 burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column 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, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
Ty amy fombo miforoforo’ Iehovày, hotomomoke i taney; naho hoe famahañan’afo avao ondatio, leo raike tsy mandrombake an-drahalahi’e.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat 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.
