Isaiah 8
1 And Yahweh said unto me: Take thee a large tablet, —and write thereon in plain characters, To Maher-shalal-hash-baz. ["Speed-spoil-hurry-prey".]
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mangalà fafana lehibe, ka soraty aminy araka ny fanoratry ny olona hoe: “Ho an’ i Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.”
2 That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses, —even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Ary haka vavolombelona mahatoky Aho, dia Oria mpisorona sy Zakaria, zanakalahin’ i Jeberekia.
3 Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived and bare a son, —and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Ary nankany amin’ ny mpaminanivavy, aho; dia nanan’ anaka izy ka niteraka zazalahy. Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aoka ny anarany hataonao hoe Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.
4 For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
Fa raha tsy mbola mahatonona hoe Idada na Ineny io zazalahy io, dia hobaboina eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ny haren’ i Damaskosy sy ny fananan’ i Samaria.
5 And again Yahweh spake unto me yet further saying:
Ary Jehovah dia mbola niteny tamiko indray hoe:
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, —and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Satria ity firenena ity mandà ny rano Siloa izay misononoka Ary mifaly amin-dRezina sy ny zanak’ i Remalia,
7 now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them the waters, strong and many, of the River ["Euphrates"], even the king of Assyria and all his glory, —and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks;
Dia, indro, hampiakarin’ ny Tompo hanafotra azy ny rano be sady manonja amin’ ny Ony (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy ny voninahiny rehetra); Ary ny masondranony rehetra ho tondraka, Ary ny morony rehetra hihoarany;
8 and roll on throughout Judah—overflow and pass along, till unto the neck, he shall reach, —and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
Dia himaona fatratra izy ka hihatra amin’ ny Joda Ary hanafotra sady mbola hisondrotra ihany Mandra-pahatongany havozona; Ary ny fipasany eny an-daniny roa dia hanenika ny taninao, ry Imanoela ô.
9 Rage, O ye peoples, —and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth, —Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown:
Misafoaha ihany ianareo, ry firenena ô, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy ianareo; Ary mihainoa ihany, ry tany lavitra rehetra, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy; Eny, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy.
10 Determine a plan, —and it shall be frustrated, —Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With-us-is-GOD!
Makà saina ihany ianareo, nefa mbola hofoanana izany; Milazà ihany ny teny, nefa tsy ho tanteraka izany tsy akory; Fa aminay Andriamanitra.
11 For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, —when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko, raha nanindry ahy mafy ny tànany, Ka nanariny tsy handeha amin’ ny falehan’ ity firenena ity aho:
12 Ye shall not say—A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:
Aza mba lazainareo ho tetika fikomiana izay lazain’ ity firenena ity ho tetika fikomiana; Ary aza matahotra izay atahorany na mangovitra ianareo.
13 Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, —And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe;
Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hasino; Ary aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, Ary Izy ihany no hangovitanareo.
14 So shall he become a hallowed asylum, —But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;
Dia ho fitoerana masìna ho anareo Izy, Fa ho vato mahatafintohina sy vatolampy mahasolafaka kosa Amin’ ny firenena roa amin’ ny Isiraely, sady ho fandrika sy tonta Amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema.
15 And many, shall stumble among them, —and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.
Ary maro ao aminy no ho tafintohina sady ho lavo sy ho ringana Ary ho voafandrika sy ho voasambotra.
16 Bind thou up the testimony, —Seal the instruction amongst my disciples.
Fehezo ny teni-vavolombelona, Ary asio tombo-kase ny lalàna eo amin’ ny mpianatro.
17 I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, —And will wait, for him.
Ary hiandry an’ i Jehovah aho Izay manafina ny tavany amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Ka hanantena Azy ihany aho.
18 Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, —from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.
Indreto, izaho sy ireo zaza nomen’ i Jehovah ahy dia famantarana sy fahagagana ao amin’ ny Isiraely Avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay monina ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona.
19 But, when they say unto you—Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not a people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, [should it seek] unto the dead?
Ary raha lazainy aminareo hoe: Milà saina amin’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao sikidy, izay mitsiatsiaka sy miboeriboerika, Moa tsy Andriamaniny va no tokony hilan’ ny olona saina? Fa hila saina amin’ ny maty ho an’ ny velona va izy?
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is], because they have no dawning day.
Ho amin’ ny lalàna sy ny teni-vavolombelona ihany! Raha tsy miteny araka izany teny izany izy, Dia olona izay tsy hiposahan’ ny fahazavan’ ny maraina.
21 Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, —And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards;
Dia samy hivezivezy amin’ ny tany izy rehetra sady mahantra no mosarena; Ary rehefa mosarena izy, dia ho sosotra ka hanozona ny mpanjakany sy Andriamaniny, ary dia hiandrandra;
22 And unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!
Ary hijery ny tany izy, ka indro fahoriana sy fahamaizinana ary manjombona mahafadiranovana, Ary horoahina ho any amin’ ny aizim-pito izy.
