Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no gloom to her that 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 hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Fa tsy hanjombona mandrakariva ilay efa nozoim-pahoriana. Tamin’ ny taloha dia nataony tsinontsinona ny tany Zebolona sy ny tany Naftaly; Fa amin’ ny aoriana kosa dia homeny voninahitra ny lalana eo amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin’ i Jordana, Dia Galilia, tanin’ ny jentilisa.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Ny olona izay mandeha amin’ ny maizina dia mahita mazava lehibe; Izay mitoetra amin’ ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no iposahan’ ny mazava.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Hamaroinao ity firenena ity, Ary ampitomboinao ny hafaliany; Mifaly eo anatrehanao izy tahaka ny hafaliana amin’ ny fararano, ary tahaka ny fifalin’ ny olona, raha mizara babo.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
Fa ny bao fitondran-entany sy ny tsorakazo nikapohana ny lamosiny; Izay tsorakazon’ ny mpampiasa azy, Dia tapahinao tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro namelezana ny Midiana.
5 For all the armour of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Fa ny kiraron’ izay mitrevatreva fandeha eo amin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny ady sy ny fitafiana mihosindra dia samy hodoroana, eny, ho kitay hatohoka amin’ ny afo izany.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Fa Zaza no teraka ho antsika, Zazalahy no omena antsika; Ary ny fanapahana dia eo an-tsorony, ary ny anarany atao hoe Mahagaga, Mpanolo-tsaina, Andriamanitra Mahery, Rain’ ny mandrakizay Andrian’ ny fiadanana.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
Ny handrosoan’ ny fanapahana sy ny fiadanana dia tsy hanam-pahataperana Eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida sy ny fanjakany, mba hampiorenana sy hampitoerana azy amin’ ny rariny sy ny hitsiny hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay; ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hahatanteraka izany.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Ny Tompo mandefa teny ho an’ i Jakoba, ka mihatra amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
9 And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,
Ary ho fantatr’ izy iray firenena izany, dia Efraima sy ny mponina any Samaria, izay miteny amin’ ny fiavonavonany sy ny fireharehan’ ny fony manao hoe:
10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Biriky no efa nirodana, fa vato voapaika kosa no harafitsika; Aviavy no voakapa, fa sedera kosa no hasolontsika azy.
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir up his enemies;
Ary Jehovah manandratra ny rafilahin-dRezina hihoatra azy Ary mamporisika ny fahavalony,
12 the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Dia ny Syriana avy any atsinanana sy ny Filistina avy any andrefana; Ary misanasana vava mandrapaka ny Isiraely ireo. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tanany.
13 Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.
Fa ny olona tsy miverina amin’ Izay mamely azy, Eny, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tsy mba tadiaviny.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
Ka dia nofongoran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely indray andro monja Ny loha sy ny rambo, ny sampan-drofia sy ny zozoro
15 The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
(Ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja no loha, ary ny mpaminany izay mampianatra lainga no rambo);
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Fa ny mpitarika ity firenena ity no tonga mpampivily azy, Ary izay tarihiny dia voatelina.
17 Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Ary noho izany dia tsy mahafaly an’ i Jehovah ny zatovony, ary ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena ao aminy dia tsy iantrany; Fa samy mpihatsaravelatsihy sy mpanao ratsy izy, ary ny vava rehetra mamoaka teny fahadalana. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
Fa ny faharatsiana mandoro tahaka ny afo, Mandevona ny tsilo sy ny hery ary mampirehitra ny ala mikirindro ka mitambolimbolina tahaka ny setroka misavoana.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up: the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia efa maintin’ ny afo ny tany, ary ny olona dia tahaka ny kitay atohoka amin’ ny afo; Tsy misy olona miantra ny rahalahiny
20 And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Ary mandripaka eny ankavanana izy nefa noana ihany; Ary mandany eny an-kavia izy, nefa tsy voky ihany; Samy mihinana ny nofon-tsandriny avy izy rehetra,
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.
Eny, Manase mihinana an’ i Efraima, ary Efraima kosa mihinana an’ i Manase, Ary izy roa tonta dia miara-mamely an’ i Joda. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
