Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush:
Indrisy ny tany be fibiziziokan’ elatra! Izay any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia,
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and stripped, to a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Izay mampandeha iraka eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina, ao anaty lakan-jozoro ambonin’ ny rano, ka manafatra azy hoe: Mandehana, ry iraka faingam-pandeha, ho any amin’ ny firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, any amin’ ny olona mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany, dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
Ry mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao sy mpitoetra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany! Raha misy faneva atsangana eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra, dia mijere ianareo, ary raha misy anjomara tsofina, dia mihainoa.
4 For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko hangina Aho aloha ka hijery eto amin’ ny fitoerako, raha mbola mipoaka tsara ny hainandro, ary misy zavona amin’ ny hainandro fararano.
5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
Fa raha mbola tsy tonga ny fararano, rehefa tapitra ny fitsimohany, ka efa mby am-boany ny voniny, dia horantsanany amin’ ny fanetezam-boaloboka ny rantsany, ary hotapahiny sy hesoriny ny sakeliny.
6 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Dia hafoy avokoa izy ho an’ ny vorona mpihaza eny an-tendrombohitra sy ho an’ ny biby eny ambonin’ ny tany; ary ny vorona mpihaza handany fahavaratra any; Ary ny biby rehetra ambonin’ ny tany handany ririnina any.
7 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and stripped, and from a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fanomezana ho entina ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, ary avy amin’ ny firenena mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, Izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny ho ao amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia ny tendrombohitra Ziona.
