< Isaiah 32 >

1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
Oniño te hifelek’ an-kavañonañe ty mpanjaka, vaho hifehe an-katò o roandriañeo.
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
Le hanahake ty fipalirañe ami’ty tioke t’indaty, naho hoe fitampiñañe ami’ty lihits’ orañe, hoe rano mitsiritsioke an-tane kànkañe, hambañe ami’ty tevam-bato ialofañe an-tane kirikintañe ao.
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
Le tsy hakipe ty fihaino’ o mahaisakeo; vaho hitsendreñe ty ravembia mahajanjiñe.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Haharendre-kilala ty fivetsevetse bei-àreke, hiaren-tsaontsy ty famele’ o mènekeo.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
Tsy hatao vañoñe ka ty dagola, le tsy hatao matarike ty tsivokatse;
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
Amy te mivolam-­borosode ty gege, mikitro-draha raty ty tro’e, hitoloñe tsy aman-Kake, hivolañ’ ota am’ Iehovà, kefohe’e ty tro’ i saliko, vaho kapaihe’e ty fitovi’ i taliñiereñey.
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
Tsy vente’e ty harao’ o tsivokatseo; kiniae’e loza an-tambaimbaiñe o rarakeo, ndra te mivolan-to i misotriy.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
Misafiry fatarihañe ty matarike, naho i fatariha’e ty ijadoña’e.
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
Miongaha ry rakemba miagarègañeo, janjiño o feokoo; ry anak’ampela mitabonìtseo anoloro sofiñe o lañonakoo.
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
Ho ampoheke nahareo te peake ty taoñe tovoñañ’ andro ry tsidaredareo; fa tsy hamokatse o vaheo, tsy ho toly i fanontonañey.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Mititititiha, ry miaiñañoleñañeo, mimahimahiña ry miandrañandrañeo; maña­metsametsà, miboridaña, misikina gony an-tohake
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
Mikabokaboha araña ty amo tonda nisoao, naho amo vahe niregoregoo,
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
ty amy tane-hoba’ ondatikoy, ie itiriam-patike naho hisatse; eka, ty amo anjomba mitsinjakeo vaho i rova mandia taròbay.
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
Fa kòake i anjombam-panjakay, babangoañe i rova ­nitsi­tsike ondatiy; fa lakato nainai’e ty haboa naho ty fijilovañ’abo fa fitsamboañam-birike lý naho fiandraza’ o lia-raikeo
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
ampara’ te adoañe amantika ty Arofo boak’ añ’abo, ie ho tete-­kobokara ty ratraratra, vaho atao ty hoe ala ty tonda vokatse.
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
Himoneñe am-patrambey ao amy zao ty hatò, vaho hañialo an-tonda kobokara ao ty havantañañe.
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
Hamokatse fierañerañañe ty havañonañe, hahatoly fianjiñañe naho fatokisañe nainai’e ty hamarentane.
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
Hitoboke añ’akibam-pañanintsiñe ondatikoo, naho am-pipaliran-tsoa, vaho am-pitofàñe mipendreñe.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Manahake te mihotrake ty amy havandray i alay; t’ie harèke ambane i rovay.
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
Haha nahareo mpitongy añ’olon-drano iabio, o mampidada ty tombo’ o añombeo naho o borìkeo.
