Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Aa ie tretreze’ Iehovà t’Iakobe, naho joboñe’e t’Israele, vaho hampimoneñe’e an-tane’ iareo eo; le hirekets’ am’ iereo ty renetane, hipitek’ amy anjomba’ Iakobey.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Ho rambese’ o kilakila’ ndatio naho hasese’iareo mb’an-toe’ iareo mb’eo; ie ho fanaña’ i anjomba’ Israeley ho mpitoroñe lahy naho ampela an-tane’ Iehovà ao; naho ho tsepahe’iareo o namahotse iareoo; vaho ho fehè’ iareo o namorekeke iareoo.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Ho tendreke amy andro hampanintsiña’ Iehovà anahareo amo fioremeña’ areoo, naho amo haorea’ areoo, naho amo fitromahañe namorekekeañe anahareoo,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
t’ie ho ente’ areo amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley añe ty tafatoño toy, ami’ty hoe: akore te nijihetse i mpamorekekey! naho nipendreñe i fidabadoañey!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Fa pinoza’ Iehovà ty fitoño’ o lo-tserekeo, ty kobai’ o mpifeheo,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
I nitolom-pamofoke ondatio ami’ty haboseha’ey, i nameleke ondatio ami’ty haviñera’e an-tsarerake tsy nimete kalañeñey.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Manintsiñe iaby ty tane toy, vaho mitsiñe; ie ampipoñafan-tsabo.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Eka mirebeke ty ama’o o sohihio, naho o mendorave’ i Lebanoneo: Kanao nazevoñ’ ambane irehe, tsy mitroatse ama’ay ty mpamira.
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Mangetseketseke ty ama’o ty tsikeokeoke hifanalaka ama’o amy figodaña’oy; ampibarakaofe’e ty ama’o o angatseo, o nifeleke tan-tane atoio; songa miongake amo fiambesa’eo o mpanjakam-pifeheañeo. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Songa mifañontane ama’e manao ty hoe: Toe maleme manahake anay irehe! Ihe hambañe ama’ay!
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Fa nampanjotso azo mb’an-kibory mb’atoy ty firegevoha’o, reketse ty fikoraha’ o karara’oo; Nalamake ambane’o ao o oletseo, vaho mañohoñe azo o kànkañeo. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
Akore ty nideboña’o boak’ andikerañey, ry vasian-kandro, ana’ ty fanjirik’andro! Finira mb’an-tane, ihe nimpamotsake o fifeheañeo.
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Nanoe’o an-tro’o ao ty hoe: Hionjoñe mb’andikerañe mb’eo iraho, ambone’ o vasian’ Añahareo ty hañonjonako ty fiambesako, vaho hiambesatse am-bohim-pivory eo, amo ila’e avaratseo;
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Hionjoñe ambonen-dikera’ o rahoñeo iraho, hihambañako amy Abo-Tia.
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Te mone hazotso mb’an-tsikeokeoke ao irehe, pak’am-para’ i halale’ i koboñeiy. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Hisamb’ azo o hahaisake azoo, hañarahara ty hoe: Itiañe hao indaty nampiezeñezeñe ty tane toiy, i nampihondrahondra o fifeheañeoy;
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
Ty nanao ty tane toy ho ratraratra, naho nandrotsake o rova’eo; vaho tsy nanokake ty vala-bei’e himpolia’ o narohi’eo?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Songa mirotse ami’ty enge’e o mpanjaka’ o fifeheañeoo, ie iabikey, sindre an-kibori’e ao.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
F’ihe ka, ro navokovoko boak’ an-kibori’o ao hoe tsampañe tiva, an-tsaro’ ty vinono, tinomboke fibara, mihotrake mb’amo vato an-koboñeo hoe lolo linialiam-pandia.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Tsy hitrao-pileveñe am’ iereo, amy te narotsa’o ty tane’o vaho zinama’o ondati’oo; toe tsy ho tiahieñe ka ty tarira’ o lo-tserekeo.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Mihentseña hanjamañe o ana’eo ty amo hakeon-droae’ iareoo; tsy mone hitroatse hitavañe ty voatse toy iereo, hanitsike o rova an-tane atoio.
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Izaho, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, ty hitroatse am’ iereo, vaho haitoako amy Bavele ty añarañe naho ty sehanga’e, ty tariratse naho ty tamingañe, hoe t’Iehovà.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Hatoloko ho fanaña’ ty trandrake, ho babangoa-mangenakenake; le ho piopioheko am-pamafa- karotsahañe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Nifanta’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ty hoe: Toe ho tondroke ze fitsakoreako; hijadon-ko do’e ze aereñereko.
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
Ho folaheko an-taneko ao ty Asore, ho lialiàko am-bohiko eo; habalake ty joka’e am’ iareo, vaho havotsotse an-tsoro’ iareo ty kilanka’e.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Izay ty safiry nalahatse ho a’ ty tane bey toy vaho itoy ty taña natora-kitsike amo fifeheañe iabio.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Naereñere’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, ia ty hahakalañe aze? Napololotse ty fità’e, ia ty hampipoly aze?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Tamy taoñe nahavilasy i Akhaze mpanjaka, ty niheova’ ty entañe toy.
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Ko mandia-taroba, ry Pilistý iabio, amy te pinozake ty kobaiñe nandafa azo, fa boak’ am-baha’ ty mereñe ty hitiria’ ty lapetake, ie ka ty hamoa fandrefeala mibela, mitiliñe.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Hikama o loho rarakeo, naho hàndre am-pipalirañe ao o poi’eo; ho vonoeko ami’ty kerè o vaha’oo, izay ty hanjamanañe ty honka’o.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Mañaoloa ry lalambey, mikoiha ry rova; mitranaha ry Pilistý, nahareo iaby; hehe te boak’ avaratse añe ty hatoeñe, tsy ama’e ty mitakàtrotse am-pirimboña’e.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Akore arè ty hamaleañe o ira’ i fifeheañeio? T’ie naore’ Iehovà t’i Tsione le hitsoloke ama’e ondati’e misotrio.
