Isaiah 33
1 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
Hankàñe ama’o ty mpandrotsake, ihe tsy rinotsake; ty mpamañahy, ihe tsy nifañahieñey! ie migadoñe ty fikopaha’o, le ho kopaheñe, ie itroara’o o famañahia’oo, le ho fañahieñe.
2 Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
O ry Iehovà, toloro arofo zahay; fa mandiñe Azo; ehe te Ihe ho fità’ iareo boa’ maraiñe, naho ty fandrombahañe anay an-tsan-koheke.
3 Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
Mampitriban-day ondatio i feon-koràkey; mibaibay o fifeheañeo ami’ty fiongaha’o.
4 [And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
Ahoro’e ty kinopa’areo manahake ty añoroña’ ty beañe; hoe fifamorohotan-kijeja ty ifamorohota'iareo.
5 Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
Onjoneñe t’Iehovà an-tiotiots' añe ty fimoneña’e; fa natsafe'e hatò naho havantanañe t’i Tsione.
6 [When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
Ie ty hampijadoñe o tao’oo an-kakaliforam-pandrombahañe; ty hihitse naho ty hilala vaho ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà ro toe vara’e.
7 [But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
Inao! mangoihoy an-tameañe ey ty lahitsiai’ iareo, mangololoike o sorotàm-pañanintsiñeo.
8 No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
Vahiny o lalañeo tsy amam-pañavelo, nifotera’e i fañinay, tsinambolitio’e o rovao, tsy haoñe’e ondatio.
9 The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
Mandala o taneo vaho miforejeje; salatse ty Lebanone, miheatse; hoe fatran-tane ty Sarone mihintsam-boa ty Karmele naho i Basane.
10 Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
Hiongake amy zao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà; honjonen-dRaho henaneo, ho rengen-dRaho henane zao.
11 You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
Mampiareñe kafo’e nahareo, hisamake forompotse; hamorototo anahareo hoe afo ty kofò’areo.
12 [Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
Ho tomomoheñe hoe sokày ondatio, hoe fatike finira, nitomontoñe añ’afo,
13 You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
Mijanjiña ry an-tsietoitane añe, ino o nanoekoo? Ry marine eo, iantofo o haozarakoo.
14 The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
Mirevendreveñe o mpanan-kakeo e Tsioneo fihine’ ty fihitikitike ty tsy aman-Kake. ia aman-tika ty hahafitoboke amo afo mamorototoo, ia aman-tika ty hahafimoneñe amo afo manòba nainai’eo?
15 Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
I mpañavelo an-kavantañañe, naho misaontsy an-kavañonañey; ie tsy mañaoñe ty varam-pikatramoañe, i mañelahela fitàñe tsy handrambesa’e vokàñey, ty manjenjen-dravembia tsy ho janjiña’e ze o fampiorihan-dio zao, ie mikipe fihaino tsy hahaisaha’e ty raty.
16 they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
Himoneñe an-kaboañe ey re, kijolim-bato ty ho fipalira’e, hazotso ama’e ty mahakama’e, tsy hisike ty rano’e.
17 You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
Ho isam-pihaino’o ami’ty hatsomerentsere’e i mpanjakay; ho oni’ iareo ty tane mitakatse añe.
18 When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
Hañerehere ty tro’o ty fangebahebahañe: Aia i mpamoliliy, aia i mpandanjay? Aia i mpañiake o fitalakesañ’abooy?
19 Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
Tsy ho isa’o ka ondaty mangosasàkeo; ondaty aman-tsaontsy miheotse tsy fohiñeo, o amam-pameleke mibedobedo tsy rendre’o.
20 [At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
Vazohò t’i Tsione, i rovam-pamantaña-masin-tikañey; ho isam-pihaino’o te fimoneñañe mierañerañe t’Ierosalaime, kijoly tsy hahoroñe, amam-pàntake tsy hombotañe, aman-taly tsy ho tampaheñe.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
Hindre aman-tikañe ami’ty volonahe’e, t’Iehovà, an-toetse amañ’oñe naho torahañe mibànatse; tsy handenà’ ty lakañ’ am-pivey, tsy ho rangaen-tsambo.
22 Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
Toe mpizakan-tika t’Iehovà Mpandily antika t’Iehovà, Mpanjakan-tika t’Iehovà; Ie ty handrombake an-tika.
23 The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
Fa migebañe o talin-tsambo’oo, tsy mitàñe i fahan-daiy, tsy mamela-day; Akore ty habei’ o kinopake zaraeñeo kanao andivañe amo kepekeo.
24 And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
Tsy hanao ty hoe ty mpitoboke ao: Siloke iraho; Hafahan-kakeo ondaty mimoneñe aoo.
