Isaiah 1
1 The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Ny fahitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, izay hitany ny amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema tamin’ ny andron’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, izay samy mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
Mandrenesa, ry lanitra, ary mihainoa, ry tany, Fa Jehovah no miteny hoe: Efa nitaiza sy nahalehibe zaza Aho, Kanjo niodina tamiko ireo.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master's crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider.”
Ny omby mahalala ny tompony, Ary ny boriky ny fihinanam-bilon’ ny tompony; Fa ny Isiraely tsy mahalala, Ny oloko tsy misaina.
4 Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil-doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
Indrisy! firenena mpanota, olona mavesa-keloka, Taranaka mpanao ratsy, zanaka mpanao meloka! Efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy, Efa nanamavo ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely. Efa nihodina izy.
5 Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
Nahoana no mbola ta-hasiana ihany ianareo noho izao fiodinanareo lalandava izao? Henika aretina avokoa ny loha rehetra, Ary marary ny fo rehetra.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
Hatramin’ ny faladia ka hatramin’ ny loha dia tsy misy izay tsy marary, Fa ratra sy dian-kapoka ary fery vao; Tsy mbola voaporitra, na voafehy, na voalemin’ ny diloilo izy.
7 Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
Ny taninareo dia efa lao; Ny tanànanareo dia voadotra tamin’ ny afo; Ny tany volenareo dia lanin’ ny fahavalo eo imasonareo, ary lao izy toy ny efa noravan’ ny fahavalo.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
Ary Ziona zanakavavy dia nilaozana tahaka ny trano rantsan-kazo ao anaty tanim-boaloboka, Sy tahaka ny fandriana mihantona an’ ny mpiandry voly ao anaty tanimbolim-boantango, Dia tahaka ny tanàna atao fahirano.
9 Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
Raha tsy nosisan’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro, olona vitsivitsy isika, Dia efa tonga tahaka an’ i Sodoma Ary nitovy tamin’ i Gomora.
10 Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
Mandrenesa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpitsaran’ i Sodoma; Mihainoa ny lalàn’ Andriamanitsika, ry vahoakan’ i Gomora.
11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
Hataoko inona ny zavatra betsaka vonoinareo ho fanatitra? hoy Jehovah; Efa tofoka ny ondrilahy atao fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran’ ny zanak’ omby mifahy Aho, Ary tsy sitrako ny ran’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy sy ny an’ ny zanak’ ondry ary ny an’ ny osilahy.
12 When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
Raha avy miseho eo anatrehako ianareo, Iza moa no nitady anareo hanitsakitsaka ny kianjako?
13 Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
Aza mitondra fanati-poana intsony; Fofona fahavetavetana amiko izany! Ny voaloham-bolana sy ny Sabata ary ny fiantsoam-piangonana Tsy zakako ny fivoriana masìna haroharoam-paharatsiana!
14 Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
Ny voaloham-bolanareo sy ny fotoam-pivavahanareo dia halan’ ny fanahiko, Mavesatra amiko izany, Ka sasatra mitondra azy Aho.
15 When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
Raha mananty tanana ianareo, Dia hitampi-maso tsy hijery anareo Aho; Eny, na dia manao vavaka be aza ianareo, dia tsy hihaino Aho; Feno ran’ olona ny tananareo.
16 Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
Misasà ianareo, diovy ny tenanareo, Esory tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny masoko ny ratsy fanaonareo; Mitsahara, fa aza manao ratsy;
17 Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
Mianara hanao ny tsara, Diniho izay rariny, anaro ny mpampahory, Omeo rariny ny kamboty, tsarao ny adin’ ny mpitondratena.
18 Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
Avia ary hifandahatra isika, hoy Jehovah: Na dia tahaka ny jaky aza ny fahotanareo, Dia ho fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala, Na dia mangatrakatraka tahaka ny sily aza, Dia ho tahaka ny volon’ ondry fotsy.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
Raha manaiky sy mankatò ianareo, dia hihinana ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany;
20 But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
Fa raha mbola mandà sy miodina ihany ianareo, Dia ho lanin’ ny sabatra: Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
Indrisy! tonga janga ity tanàna mahatoky Izay feno ny rariny taloha Sady nitoeran’ ny fahamarinana, Fa ankehitriny kosa mpamono olona no ao.
22 Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
Ny volafotsinao efa tonga tain-drendrika; Ny divainao efa voatsatso rano;
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
Ny lehibenao dia mpiodina sady naman’ ny mpangalatra; Samy tia kolikoly sy fatra-nitady tambitam-by avokoa izy rehetra; Ny kamboty tsy mba omeny rariny, Ary ny adin’ ny mpitondratena tsy avelany ho entina eo anatrehany.
24 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
Ka dia hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ilay Maherin’ ny Isiraely: E! hiala fo amin’ ny mandrafy Ahy Aho Ary hamaly ny fahavaloko.
25 And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
Dia hamerina ny tanako ho aminao Aho, Ka hodioviko amin’ ny lavenona ianao hahafahan’ ny tain-drendrikao, ary hesoriko ny firaka rehetra aminao.
26 And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Dia hampodiko ho toy ny teo aloha ny mpitsaranao, Ary ny mpanolo-tsainao ho toy ny tamin’ ny voalohany; Ary rehefa afaka izany, ianao dia hantsoina hoe: Tanànan’ ny fahamarinana, Tanàna mahatoky.
27 Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
Ziona havotana amin’ ny fitsarana, ary izay efa mibebaka ao dia havotana amin’ ny fahamarinana;
28 But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
Ary samy haringana avotoa ny mpiodina sy ny mpanota, Eny, ho lany ritra izay mahafoy an’ i Jehovah.
29 For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
Fa hahazo henatra ianareo noho ny amin’ ny hazo terebinta izay nifalianareo, ary hangaihay ianareo noho ny amin’ ny saha izay natokanareo.
30 And ye shall be as a terebinth-tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
Fa ho tahaka ny hazo terebinta malazo ravina ianareo, Sy ho tahaka ny saha tsy misy rano.
31 The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
Ny mahery ho tahaka ny vohavoha, Ary ny asany ho tahaka ny kilalaon’ afo, Dia hiaraka hodorana izy roa tonta, Ka tsy hisy hamono ny afo.
