Isaiah 18
1 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
Indrisy ny tany be fibiziziokan’ elatra! Izay any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia,
2 that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land the rivers divide."
Izay mampandeha iraka eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina, ao anaty lakan-jozoro ambonin’ ny rano, ka manafatra azy hoe: Mandehana, ry iraka faingam-pandeha, ho any amin’ ny firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, any amin’ ny olona mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany, dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny.
3 All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look. When the trumpet is blown, listen.
Ry mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao sy mpitoetra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany! Raha misy faneva atsangana eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra, dia mijere ianareo, ary raha misy anjomara tsofina, dia mihainoa.
4 For the LORD said to me, "I will be still, and I will see from my dwelling place, like the clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko hangina Aho aloha ka hijery eto amin’ ny fitoerako, raha mbola mipoaka tsara ny hainandro, ary misy zavona amin’ ny hainandro fararano.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
Fa raha mbola tsy tonga ny fararano, rehefa tapitra ny fitsimohany, ka efa mby am-boany ny voniny, dia horantsanany amin’ ny fanetezam-boaloboka ny rantsany, ary hotapahiny sy hesoriny ny sakeliny.
6 They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.
Dia hafoy avokoa izy ho an’ ny vorona mpihaza eny an-tendrombohitra sy ho an’ ny biby eny ambonin’ ny tany; ary ny vorona mpihaza handany fahavaratra any; Ary ny biby rehetra ambonin’ ny tany handany ririnina any.
7 In that time, a present will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, Mount Zion.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fanomezana ho entina ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, ary avy amin’ ny firenena mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, Izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny ho ao amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia ny tendrombohitra Ziona.
