Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw, concerning Judah and Jerusalem, —in the days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah—kings of Judah.
I aroñaroñe nioni’Iesaià ana’ i Amotse ty am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime tañ’andro’ i Ozià, Iotame, Iakaze, naho Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
2 Hear O heavens, And give ear, O earth, for Yahweh, hath spoken: —Sons, have I brought up, and advanced, And, they, have rebelled against me.
Mitsanoña ry likerañeo, manolora sofiñe ty tane toy, fa mitsara t’Iehovà. Nañabey naho nampitombo anake iraho, f’ie niola.
3 An ox knoweth, his owner, And an ass his masters crib, —Israel, doth not know, My people doth not consider.
Apota ty añombelahy ty tompo’e, naho ty borìke ty lokaloka’ i mpanehak’ azey; fe tsy mahafohiñe t’Israele, tsy maharendreke ondatikoo.
4 Alas! a nation—committing sin, a people—burdened with iniquity, a seed—practising wickedness, sons—acting corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh despised the Holy One of Israel, —Are estranged and gone back.
Ry boriza aman-kakeo, ondaty mijiny tahiñeo, tirim-panao raty, anake mitolon-kamengohañe! fa nifarie’ iereo t’Iehovà, nitsambolitio’ iereo t’i Masi’ Israele, aliheñe iereo vaho midisa-voly.
5 Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:
Ino ty mbe hanilofañe anahareo, ie mbe mitolom-piola avao? Marare iaby ty añambone, hene toirañe ty arofo.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head, there is in it no soundness, Bruise and stripe and newly-made wound, —They have not been pressed out, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil.
Boak’an-dela-pandia pak’añambone’e, tsy ama’e ty janga, fa fere, vonotroboke naho bae miborentatse: tsy nitindrieñe, tsy nibandieñe, tsy nihosoren-tsolike.
7 Your country—is a desolation, Your cities—are consumed with fire, —Your soil—right before your eyes, foreigners are devouring it, And it is a desolation a very overthrow by foreigners;
Mangoakoake ty tane’ areo; finorototo’ ty afo ty rova’ areo; fa nabotse’ ty ambahiny añatrefa’ areo ty tane’ areo; le koake, hoe t’ie navalitaboam-pisorotombahañe.
8 And left is the Daughter of Zion, Like a hut in a vineyard, —Like a lodge in a gourd-plot Like a city besieged.
Le nengañe hoe kijà an-tetem-bahe ey ty anak’ampela’ i Tsione, hoe kibohotse an-tanem-bazavo ao, hoe rova arikatohem-paname.
9 If, Yahweh of hosts, had not left us a very small remnant, Like Sodom, had we become, Gomorrah, had we resembled.
Naho tsy sinisa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy sehanga’e tikañe, le ho ni-hoe Sedome, ho nanahake i Amorà.
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, ye rulers of Sodom, —Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah: —
Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpifehe’ i Sedome; toloro ravembia i Tsaran’ Añaharen-tikañey, ry nte-Amorà.
11 Of what use to me, is your multitude of sacrifices: Saith Yahweh: I am sated with ascending-offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts, —In the blood of bulls and young rams and he-goats, have I no pleasure.
Inoñ’amako o soroñe mitozantozañeo? Hoe t’Iehovà: Fa mahaetsak’ahy o añondrilahy engaeñe horoañeo, naho o safom-biby vinondrakeo; tsy mahafale ahy ty liom-bania ndra o vik’añondrio, ndra o añondrilahio.
12 When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand trampling my courts?
Ie mb’etoa nahareo hiatrek’ amako, ia ty nipay am-pità’ areo te ho lialià’ areo o kiririsakoo?
13 Ye shall not again bring in an empty, present, Incense, an abomination, is that unto me! New moon, and sabbath calling an assembly—I cannot endure, iniquity and sacred festival!
Ko añenga’areo raha koake ka; ie enga tiva amako; O jiribolañeo, o Sabatao, o fivory koiheñeo: Tsy leoko o fivori-miavake milaro haratiañeo.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth, —They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear:
Heje’ ty troko o jiri’bola’ areoo naho o takataka-tinendre’ areoo; Ie manosots’ ahy, hejeko ho vaveñe.
15 Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply prayers, I am not hearkening, —Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.
Naho amelara’areo tañañe, le ho takonako ty masoko; Eka ndra t’ie mitolon-kalaly, tsy ho tsanoñeko, fa pea lio o fità’ areoo.
16 Wash you make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes, —Cease to do evil.
Miandroa, miliova; asitaho tsy ho aolo’ masoko ty halò-tserem-pitoloña’ areo; mijihera amo fanoañe ratio.
17 Learn to do well—Seek justice, Correct the oppressor, —Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow,
Mianara hanao ty soa; tsoeho ty hato, avotsoro o forekekeñeo, omeo to ty bode rae, mihalalia ho a o vantotseo.
18 Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute Saith Yahweh, —Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.
Antao hisafiry arè, hoe t’Iehovà: ndra te mena mandofiry ty hakeo’ areo, le ho foty matsatsaoke; ndra t’ie mena mañabasà, le hanahake volon’añondry.
19 If ye be willing—and hearken Of the good of the land, shall ye eat;
Ie miato naho tsy manjehatse, ro hikama ty hasoa’ i taney.
20 But, if ye refuse and rebel, With the sword, shall ye be devoured, For, the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken it.
F’ie mandietse vaho miola, le habotse’ ty fibara; izay ty nitsaraem-palie’ Iehovà.
21 How hath she become unchaste!—The city that was Faithful, —Full of justice, Righteousness lodged in her, But, now, murderers!
Akore te nanjare karapilo i rova matoey! ie nilifotse ty hatò, nimoneñe an-kavañonañe, te mone mpañoho-doza henaneo.
22 Thy silver, hath become dross, —Thy wine, weakened with water;
Fa tai’e avao ty volafoti’o, botsa-drano ty divai’o.
23 Thy rulers, are unruly, and companions of thieves, Every one of the people, loveth a bribe, and runneth after rewards, —The fatherless, they do not vindicate, And, the plea of the widow, reacheth them not.
Mpikitro-karatiañe o ana-dona’oo, mpirañetse ami’ty malaso; songa mpitea vokàñe naho mpañori-tambe; tsy mea’ iereo to ty bode rae, vaho tsy atrefe’ iareo ty entam-bantotse.
24 Therefore, Declareth the Lord Yahweh of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, —Alas! I must appease me on mine adversaries, I must avenge me on mine enemies
Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Hafatrara’ Israeley: Hete! Hafahako amako o rafelahikoo, vaho ho valèko o malaiñe ahikoo;
25 That I may turn my hand against thee, And smelt away, as with potash, thy dross, And remove all thine alloy;
Le hahimpako ama’o ty tañako, naho ho lioveko hoe amañ’asidra ty taim-bi’o, vaho hafahako iaby o kanki’oo;
26 That I may restore thy Judges as at the first, and thy Counsellors as at the beginning, —After that, shalt thou be called Righteous citadel, Trusty city, —
Le hampoliko o mpizaka’oo manahake tam-baloha’e añe, naho o mpanolo-keve’oo hambañe am-pifotora’e añe: vaho hatao ty hoe irehe: Rova-Kavantañañe, Posetse Matoe.
27 Zion, with justice shall be redeemed, —And her returning ones, with righteousness;
Ho jebañeñe ami’ty hatò ty Tsione, naho an-kavantañañe o aze mimpolio.
28 And the downfall of transgressors and sinners, shall be, together, —And, they who forsake Yahweh, shall be brought to an end;
Fe hitrao-pirotsahañe o mpanan-kakeo naho mpanan-tahiñeo, vaho ho hotomomoheñe ze mienga Iehovà.
29 For they shall turn pale on account of the oaks which ye desired, —And ye shall blush on account of the gardens which ye had chosen;
Toe hisalara’ iereo o kile nisalalaeñeo, vaho himeñara’ areo o goloboñe nivihañeo.
30 For ye shall be as an oak with its leaf faded, And as a garden that hath no, water;
Hanahake ty kile aman-drave’e miheatse nahareo, naho hoe goloboñe tsy aman-drano.
31 Then shall the strong one become tow, And his work a spark, —And they shall both blaze together And there be none to quench the fire.
Ho pipìke ty maozatse, ho tsipelats’afo o tolon-draha’eo; hiharo hiforehetse iereon-droroe, le tsy eo ty hampikipeke.
