Isaiah 9
1 For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour The Lake-way over the 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 who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light, —The dwellers in a land death-shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.
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 increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy, —They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute 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 their burden, The cross-bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou 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 Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war-cloak rolled in blood Then shall serve for burning, food for 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, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder, —And his Name hath been called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.
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 dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end—Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, —From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will 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 A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, —And it shall alight on Israel;
Ny Tompo mandefa teny ho an’ i Jakoba, ka mihatra amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
9 and the people shall all of them know [it] —Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria—Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:
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 Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, —Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.
Biriky no efa nirodana, fa vato voapaika kosa no harafitsika; Aviavy no voakapa, fa sedera kosa no hasolontsika azy.
11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, —And his enemies will he arouse:
Ary Jehovah manandratra ny rafilahin-dRezina hihoatra azy Ary mamporisika ny fahavalony,
12 Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
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, have not turned unto him that smote them, —And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.
Fa ny olona tsy miverina amin’ Izay mamely azy, Eny, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tsy mba tadiaviny.
14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel—Head and tail Palm-top 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 elder and favourite, he, is the head, —And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;
(Ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja no loha, ary ny mpaminany izay mampianatra lainga no rambo);
16 And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, —And, they who are led of them are destroyed,
Fa ny mpitarika ity firenena ity no tonga mpampivily azy, Ary izay tarihiny dia voatelina.
17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
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 lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour, —Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up as a column 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 Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed, —And the people have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;
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 he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied, —Every one, the flesh of his own arm, will they eat:
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, They together—against Judah, —For all this, hath his anger not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
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.
