Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
Mialà, ka mipetraha amin’ ny vovoka, ry Babylona, zanakavavy virijina! Mipetraha eo amin’ ny tany, fa tsy amin’ ny seza fiandrianana, ry Kaldea zanakavavy! Fa tsy hatao hoe vehivavy malemilemy sy mihantahanta intsony ianao.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Alao ny vato fikosoham-bary, ka kosohy ny koba; esory ny fisalobonanao, akaro ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao; aoka hiseho ny fenao, ka miroboha mita ny ony.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
Hiseho ny fitanjahanao, eny, ho hita ny fahamenaranao; hitondra famaliana Aho ka tsy hiantra olona.
4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Ny anaran’ ny Mpanavotra anay dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Mipetraha mangingina, ka midìra ao amin’ ny maizina, ry Kaldea zanakavavy! Fa tsy hatao hoe Tompovavin’ ny fanjakana intsony ianao.
6 I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Tezitra tamin’ ny oloko Aho; navelako holotoina ny lovako, ka natolotro ho eo an-tananao izy, tsy mba namindranao fo izy, fa na dia ny antitra aza dia nasianao zioga mavesatra dia mavesatra.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember its latter end.
Ary hoy ianao: Ho tompovavy mandrakizay Aho; ka dia tsy nandatsaka am-po izany zavatra izany ianao, na nitsapa izay hiafarany.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Koa mihainoa, ianao izay mihantahanta sady mipetraka tsy manana ahiahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Izaho no izy, ary tsy misy hafa; tsy hipetraka ho mpitondratena aho, na hahita fahafoanan’ anaka.
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thy enchantments.
Kanjo hanjo anao tampoka amin’ ny indray andro monja ireto zavatra roa ireto, dia ny fahafoanan’ anaka sy ny fananoan-tena; Hotanterahina aminao avokoa izany, na dia maro aza ny fankatovanao, ary na dia be dia be aza ny odinao.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me.
Fa nitoky tamin’ ny faharatsianao ianao ka nanao hoe: Tsy misy mahita ahy. Ny fahendrenao sy ny fahalalanao dia nampivily anao, ka dia nanao anakampo ianao hoe: Izaho no izy, fa tsy misy afa-tsy izaho.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from where it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Kanjo hanjo anao ny fahoriana, nefa tsy ho fantatrao izay fanafany; Ary hahazo anao ny loza, nefa tsy ho hainao ny fanàlany; eny, hanjo anao tampoka ny fandringanana izay tsy ampoizinao.
12 Stand now with thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth; if thou shalt be able to profit, if thou mayest prevail.
Arosoy ary ny odinao sy ny hamaroan’ ny fankatovanao, izay efa nisasaranao hatry ny fony ianao mbola kely; Angamba hahavita izay mahasoa ianao; angamba ho tonga mahatahotra ianao.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Sasatra noho ny hamaroan’ ny fisainanao ianao; aoka hitsangana ankehitriny ireo mpamantatra ny lanitra sy mpandinika ny kintana ireo hamonjy anao, dia ireo mpanambara isaky ny tsinam-bolana izay zavatra ho tonga aminao.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Indro, fa ho tahaka ny vodivary ireo; ho main’ ny afo izy ka tsy hahavonjy ny tenany amin’ ny herin’ ny lelafo akory; tsy misy vainafo hamindroana, na afo hitaninana aza.
15 Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Ho toy izany aminao ireo efa nisasaranao ireo, dia ireo nifampivarotra taminao hatry ny fony ianao mbola kely; samy hipariaka mandositra ho any amin’ ny fonenany avy izy, ka tsy hisy hahavonjy anao.
