< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day, the LORD with his fierce and great and mighty sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the serpent that is in the sea.
Amy andro zay, le amy fibara’e mitrotrofiake ra’elahy naho maozatsey ty handilova’ Iehovà i fañaneñey, toe i mereñe mibotatsakey; ty fañaneñe, i mereñe mivanditsey; vaho ho vonoe’e i fañanen-driakey.
2 In that day, sing to her, "A pleasant vineyard.
Ie tondroke i andro zay: Tetem-bahe fanjàka! Isabò!
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
Izaho Iehovà ty miambeñe aze, tondrahako rano erike; ambenako haleñe naho handro tsy mone ho joieñe.
4 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle. I would march on them and I would burn them together.
Tsy mifombo ty an-troko ao, Ie mea’e hisatse naho fatike iraho, le ho lialiako, haharoko forototoeñe.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me."
Naho tsy izay, ee te hiatoa’e ty ­haozarako, hifampilongo amako; ehe t’ie hifampirañetse amako.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
Ho tondroke ty andro te ­hamahatse t’Iakobe, hibotiboty naho hitaroke t’Israele; vaho ho tsitsi-kavokarañe ty an-tarehe’ ty tane toy.
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or have they been killed as their killers were killed?
Linafa’e hao re manahake ty nandafa’e o nandafa azeo? He vinono re hambañe ami’ty nanjamane’e o namono azeo?
8 In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Fandroahañe, faneseañe mb’eo añe ty nihotakotaha’o am’ iereo; amy kofò’e mangosasàkey ty nampisitaha’e iareo amy andro’ i tioke atiñanañeiy.
9 Therefore, by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the incense altars shall rise no more.
Fa izay ty hijebañe Iakobe ty amo tahi’eo, zao ty havokarañe handopolopo ty amy nañahàñe o hakeo’eoy: te ho fonga dorodemohe’e ty vato’ o kitrelio, tsy hitroatse ka o hazomangao naho o sare’ i àndroio.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
Miereñereñe i rova soa-fikalañey, kialo koake naho naforintseñe manahake i fatrañey, ho fiandraza’ o anak’añombeo, eo ty andrea’ iareo, eo ty añolira’ iareo o tsampa’eo.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
Hapekañe o tsampa’e niforejejeo; homb’eo o rakembao handrehetse aze; amy t’ie tsy ondaty mahilala, aa le tsy hiferenaiña’ i Namboatse iareoy, tsy hitretreza’ i Nitsene iareoy.
12 It will happen in that day, that the LORD will thresh from the flowing stream of the Perath to the Wadi of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hanatake boak’ amy fikararaha’ i Oñey pak’ amy Toraha’ i Mitsraimey t’Iehovà, le hatontoñe kiraikiraike nahareo, ry ana’ Israeleo.
13 It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Le ho popoheñe amy andro zay ty antsiva jabajaba vaho hikovovoke mb’ etoa o nimotso an-tane’ i Asoreo naho o nampitsiran­tsiràñe an-tane Mitsraimeo hitalahoa’ iareo am’ Iehovà amy vohi-miavake e Ierosalaimey.
