Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower; who [are] on the head of the rich valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Hankàñe amy sabaka-pisengea’ o mpijike’ i Efraimeoy, naho amy fihearam-boñe’e nifanjaka ami’ty hatsomerentsere’ey, i an-doham-bavatane vondra’ o niopo-divaioy.
2 Behold, the LORD hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
Heheke te manañe ty maozatse naho ty fatratse t’i Talè, hoe tio-bein-kavandran-gadaboñe, tangololahy mampianto, hoe fisorotombahan-drano mienene, ty hamokovokoam-pita’e aze an-kasiahañe mb’an-tane mb’eo.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
Ho lialiàm-pandia i sabaka niebotsebora’ o mpijike mena’ i Efraimeoy.
4 And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the rich valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the early fruit before the summer; which, [when] he that looketh upon it, seeth while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
Le i voñe an-doham-bavatane vondrakey ro hIheatse amy hasoa-vinta’ey, naho i sakoa loham-boan’ asaray, ie vata’e isake naho am-pità’e ao, ro habotse’e.
5 In that day will the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people,
Iehovà’ i Màroy ty ho halam- boñem-bolonahetse amy andro zay, Sabaka fanjaka ho a’ ondaty sehanga’eo;
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
naho ty arofo tò amy miambesatse an-jakay, Vaho haozarañe ho amo manebañe i hotakotake an-dalam-beiy.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are overwhelmed with wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
Avembèn-divay naho ampidaleandaleañen-toake ka retoañe: ampisiotsioren-toake ty mpisoroñe naho ty mpitoky; alihen-divay iereo, avembèn-toake; mitoantoañe añ’aroñaroñe iereo, mikolitrekolitre t’ie mizaka.
8 For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
Kanao lifo-deotse naho loa o fandambañañeo, le tsy aman-toetse malio ka.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
Ia ty hañòha’e hilala, naho ia ty hampalangese’e i taliliy? O vaho notàñe amy rononoio hao? O vaho nasitake am-patroao hao?
10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
Fa, fañè manovom-pañè, fañè am-pañè, patetse am-patetse, patetse am-patetse, kede atoy, kede aroy.
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Toe am-pivimby mibedobedo, naho am-pamelen’ ambahiny, ty hisaontsia’e am’ondatio,
12 To whom he said, This [is] the rest [with which] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
ie nanoeñe ty hoe: Fitofàñe toy; ampitofa o mokotseo; zao o fanintsiñañeo; fe tsy nañaoñe iereo.
13 But the word of the LORD was to them, precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Aa le hoe ty hitsara’ Iehovà: Fañè tovoñam-pañè, fañè am-pañè, patetse am-patetse, patetse am-patetse, kede ty atoy, kede ty aroy. Soa te ie mandeha iereo ro hitoboly, ho pozaheñe, ho fandriheñe, vaho ho tavaneñe.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
Aa le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry mpanivetive mifeleke ondaty e Ierosalaime ao retoa.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we in agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not reach us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol h7585)
Ami’ty natao’ areo ty hoe: nilahatse amy Havilasiy zahay, vaho nifañina amy Tsikeokeokey; le ie misoroke atoy ty kiria mamaoke le tsy homb’ama’ay izay; fa ipalira’ay ty fandañirañe, itsoloha’ay i remborake; (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Aa le hoe t’i Talè Iehovà: Heheke te mampipoke faham-bato e Tsione eo iraho, vato tsinòke; vaton-kotsoke sarotse, soa fijadoñe; Tsy ho tsòtseke ty mpiato ama’e.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
Hanoeko talim-panjeheañe ty hatò, naho havantañañe ty fampimiràñe, ho faopaohen-kavandra ty fipaliram-bodiake, vaho handoparan-drano i fiampirañey.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
Ho mongoreñe ty fañina’ areo amy Havilasy, tsy hijadoñe ty filahara’ areo amy Tsikeokeoke; ie mitoañe mb’eo ty kiria mamaoke, le ho lialià’e nahareo. (Sheol h7585)
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.
Ndra mbiambia ty hirangà’e, le ho fihine’e nahareo, fa boak’ andro ty hitoaña’e, handro an-kale; vaho ho vata’e maharevendreveñe ty andrendrehañe ty tali’e.
20 For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].
Loho bory ty fandreañe, tsy mete ihitsiañe, kede ty am-pohe’ i bodoy tsy mete isafononohañe.
21 For the LORD will rise as [on] mount Perazim, he will be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
Hiongake hoe tam-bohi-Peratsime t’Iehovà, hitroñe manahake tam-bohi’ i Gibone, hanoe’e ty fitoloña’e —tolon-draha boidy, hihentseña’e ty sata’e—sata àlike!
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
Ie amy zao, apoho ty fanivetiveañe, hera ho fihineñe o tali-randra’ areoo, fa tsinanoko amy Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy te nitseizeñe fandrotsahañe ty tane bey toy
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
Mijanjiña naho tsendreño ty feoko; haoño vaho janjiño o entakoo.
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
Mitrabake nainai’e hao ty mpitongy? ho troboe’e naho ho fantaña’e nainai’e hao i taney?
25 When he hath made even the face of it, doth he not cast abroad the vetches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat, and the appointed barley, and the rye in their place?
Ie fa nampirae’e i taney, tsy handraraha’e vañemba hao naho amitseza’e vihinja? Tongise’e am-piriritañe ty vare-bolè, le an-toe’e eo ty vare-horodè, vaho añ’olotse ey ty kosemete.
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth teach him.
Amy t’ie anareko hisafiry, mañòke aze t’i Andrianañahare’e.
27 For the vetches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the vetches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
Tsy lisanem-baoñe ty vañemba, tsy aodiñ’ an-daròn-tsarete ty vihinja, fe kimokimohen-doda ty vañemba naho lisaneñ’ akalo ty vihinja.
28 Bread -[corn] is bruised; because he will not always be threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.
Demoheñe ty vare-bolè hanoañe mofo, fa tsy lisaneñe nainai’e, eo ty mandialia aze an-tsarete reketse soavala ambone’e eo, fe tsy hotomomohe’e.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, [who] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in operation.
Boak’ am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ka izay, miambake ty fanoroa’e, tsy amañ’ohatse ty hihi’e.
