< Isaiah 3 >

1 See, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff: the whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water,
Hehek’ arè te afaha’ Iehovà Talè’ i màroy am’ Iehodà naho am’ Ierosalaime ty fitoñoñe naho ty kobay, ze mahakama an-driha ao iaby, naho ze hene haja rano,
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the one who practices divination and the elder,
Ty fanalolahy naho ty lahindefoñe, ty mpizaka naho ty mpitoky, ty mpisikily naho ty androanavy,
3 the captain of fifty and the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
Ty mpifeleke limampolo naho ty manan-kasy, ty mpanolo-kevetse, ty kalitake vaho ty mahay lañonañe.
4 “I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them.
Ho tolorako ajaja ho roandria’e, ho felehe’ o anak’ajajao iereo.
5 The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child will insult the elderly, and the degraded will challenge the honorable.
Ho forekekèñe ondatio, sindre ondaty ami’ty ilae’e, songa ami’ty rañe’e hijiajia amo androanavio ty ajaja, naho amo vañoñeo ty tembo.
6 A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be in your hands.'
Le hangazoñe t’indaty ty rahalahi’e añ’anjomban-drae’e ao: Manan-tsikin-drehe: feheo zahay, le angao ho ambane’ fità’o eo ty fianto toy.
7 On that day he will shout and say, 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing. You will not make me ruler of the people.'”
Hifanta amy andro zay re: Izaho tsy ho mpanaha; amy te tsy ama-mahakama ndra saroñe ty an-trañoko ao, aa le ko ampifehè’o ahy ondatio.
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
Amy te nikoletra t’Ierosalaime nihotrake t’Iehodà: songa mandietse Iehovà ty fameleke naho ty fitoloñañe, hanigike o fihainon-enge’eo.
9 The look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have completed a catastrophe for themselves.
Manisý iareo ty vintan-dahara’ iareo; ie misenge hakeo manahak’ i Sedome, tsy aeta’ iareo. Hekoheko amo tro’ iareoo, fa nikai-kankàñe am-bata’e.
10 Tell the righteous person that it will be well, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
Misaontsia amo vantañeo ty hoe, Soa! fa ho kamae’e o vokam-pitoloña’eo.
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for the recompense of his hands will be done to him.
Feh’ohatse amo lo­-tserekeo: ho silofeñe: fa havahañe ama’e o satam-pità’eo.
12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.
Le ty am’ondatikoo, ty ajaja ro talè’e, naho ampela ro mpifeleke. O ry ondatikoo, ampandilare’ o mpifehe’areoo, abotse’iereo o lala ho norihe’areoo.
13 Yahweh stands up for an accusation; he is standing to accuse the people.
Miongake t’Iehovà hitaroñe, mijohañe eo hizaka ondatio.
14 Yahweh will come with judgment against the elders of his people and their leaders: “You have ruined the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
Ho zakae’ Iehovà o androanavi’ondati’eoo naho o roandria’eo; Amy te nabea’ areo i tanem-balobokey; añ’anjomba’areo ao o tinavañe amo rarakeo.
15 Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Ino ty atao’ areo, kanao mampidemoke ondatikoo, vaho mandisañe ty lahara’ o rarakeo? hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè’ i màroy.
16 Yahweh says that because the daughters of Zion are proud, they walk with their necks extended, with flirting eyes, walking with tiny steps as they go, making tinkling sounds from bracelets on their ankles.
Mbore tinovo’ Iehovà ty hoe: Kanao mitoandratoandra o anak’ampela’ i Tsioneo, naho miebotsebotse am-bozo midagarìtse naho ama-maso mikiroke, ie mitsapiotsapiok’ am-piotroñañe, vaho am-pikantsakantsañañe ty tombo’ iareo,
17 Therefore the Lord will form scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
le ho silofe’ i Talè lañao ty an-gadon-doha’ o anak’ampela’ i Tsioneo, vaho habora’ Iehovà ty fimeñara’ iareo.
18 On that day the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
Hafaha’ i Talè amy andro zay o mohara soa’ iareo mikorìñeo, o ravak’ an-doha’eo, o tsiandetse bontolio,
19 the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
o rojoo, o bangebangeo o saron-doha mihofahofao,
20 the headscarves, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
o satro-beio, o ravam-pandiao, o ravan-dohao, o fibandian’arañañeo, o kiviroo,
21 He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
o bangeo naho o kavin’ oroñeo,
22 the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
o saravio, naho o salampiñeo, o kitambio naho o haro-pitintiñañeo,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
o hetsoroo, o lamba leny marerarerao, o sabakao vaho o tsingarakarakeo.
24 Instead of sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-arranged hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Ho tondroke te ho limbeze’ ty fitrotrotse ty harifondrifoñe; handimbe ty fiètse ty hàfotse; handimbe ty volo mirandra ty loha peake; handimbe ty marerarera ty gony; hisolo ty montramontra ty soba.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
Ho zamaneñe am-pibara o lahilahi’oo, an-kotakotak’ ao o lahindefo’oo.
26 Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
Handala naho hangololoike o lalam-bei’eo; ho farien-dre le hitozoke an-tane eo.
