Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, And put their trust in horses, And confide in chariots, because they are many, And in horsemen, because their number is great, But look not to the Holy One of Israel, And resort not to Jehovah.
Feh-ohatse amo mizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hipay olotse, miato aman-tsoavala, naho mirampy an-tsarete kanao maro, vaho amo mpiningitse ama’eo katao maozatse; f’ie tsy mitolike amy Masi’ Israele, tsy paia’ iareo t’Iehovà!
2 Yet he, too, is wise; He will bring evil, and not take back his words; He will arise against the house of the evil-doers, And against the help of them that do iniquity.
Fa mahihitse ka re hindesa’e hankàñe, vaho tsy hampoli’e o tsara’eo; f’ie hiongake hiatreatre ty anjomba’ o lo-tserekeo naho ty fañimba’ o mikitro-karatiañeo.
3 The Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, Then shall the helper fall, and the helped be overthrown; And they shall all perish together.
Ondaty ‘nio o nte-Mitsraimeo fa tsy Andrianañahare, naho nòfotse o soavala’eo fa tsy angatse; aa le hatora-kitsi’ Iehovà ty fità’e, le hitsikapy ty mpañimba naho hikorovoke i imbaeñey, vaho songa hitrao-pihotrake.
4 For thus hath Jehovah said to me: As when the lion and the young lion growl over their prey, And a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, By their noise he is not terrified, Nor by their tumult disheartened; So shall Jehovah of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and her hill.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hambañe ami’ty liona naho ty liona tora’e, ie mitromoroñe ambone’ i nitsàtsa’ey, ndra te maro ty mpiarak’añondry nikoiheñe ty ama’e, tsy mañembañe aze ty feo’ iareo, tsy mañembetse aze ty fikorà’ iareo; izay ty hizotsoa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy hialia’e am-bohi-Tsione, naho an-kaboa’e eo;
5 As birds hover over their young, So shall Jehovah of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will defend and deliver, spare and save.
Manahake ty fihelahela’ o voroñeo, ty hañarova’ Iehovà’ i Màroy t’Ierosalaime; katao mañaro, mamotsotse, kanao ihelaña’e ambone, mandrombake.
6 Turn, O ye children of Israel, To him from whom ye have so deeply revolted! For in that day shall every one cast away his idols of
Mitoliha amy loho niolà’ areoy, ry ana’ Israeleo.
7 silver and his idols of gold, Which your hands have made for sin.
Ie amy andro zay, songa hañary ze sare-sokim-bolafoti’e naho o saren-draha volamena’eo, o tsinene am-pitañe aman-kakeoo.
8 The Assyrian shall fall by a sword not of man, Yea, a sword not of mortal shall devour him; He shall flee before the sword, And his young warriors shall be slaves.
Toe hampikorovohe’ ty fibara tsy a’ ondaty ty Asore; ty fibara tsy a’ ondaty ty hamotsek’ aze; aa le tsy hibotatsaha’e i fibaray, vaho ho mpitorom-pamorekèke o ajalahi’eo.
9 Through fear shall he pass beyond his stronghold, And his princes shall be afraid of the standard. Thus saith Jehovah, who hath his fire in Zion, And his furnace in Jerusalem.
Hihelañe añe am-pirevendreveñañe i hafatrara’ey, naho hitsolofìñe amy saiñey o mpifehe’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, an-Tsione ao ty afo’e vaho e Ierosalaime ao ty toña’e.
