< Isaiah 3 >

1 For behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the rod and the staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
Fa, indro, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Manaisotra amin’ i Jerosalema sy Joda izay andry sy tohana rehetra: Dia ny mofo sy ny rano rehetra, izay tohan’ aina,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
Ny lehilahy mahery sy ny mpiady, Ny mpitsara sy ny mpaminany, Ny mpanao fankatovana sy ny loholona,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skillful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
Ny mpifehy ny dimam-polo sy ny manan-kaja, Ny mpanolo-tsaina sy ny mahay zavatra Ary ny mahay ny fiboeriboeriky ny mpanao ody.
4 And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Ary hanendry ankizilahy madinika ho lehibeny Aho, Ary ny haitraitran-jaza no hanapaka azy.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable.
Ary hifanipaka izy samy iray firenena, Dia samy ny namany avy sy ny akaiky azy avy; Ny tovolahy hirehareha amin’ ny anti-panahy, Ary ny tsy manan-daza amin’ ny manan-daza.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under thy hand:
Raha misy olona angatahin’ ny rahalahiny ao an-tranon-drainy ka ataony hoe: Hianao no manana lamba, koa aoka ho mpanapaka anay, Ary aoka ity faharavana ity ho raharahanao,
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
Dia namaly izy amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Tsy mety ho dokotera aho, Fa ao an-tranoko tsy misy hanina na lamba; Koa tsy azonareo hatao mpanapaka ny olona aho.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Fa tafintohina Jerosalema, Ary potraka Joda, satria ny lelany sy ny asany dia samy manohitra an’ i Jehovah Mba hihaika ny mason’ ny voninahiny.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.
Ny fisehon’ ny tarehiny miampanga azy; Ary mampiharihary ny fahotany tahaka an’ i Sodoma izy ka tsy manafina azy. Lozan’ ny fanahiny! Fa mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany izy.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Lazaonareo ny amin’ ny marina fa hahita soa izy, Fa ny vokatry ny asany no hohaniny.
11 Woe to the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Lozan’ ny ratsy fanahy! hiharan’ ny ratsy izy, Satria ny valin’ ny nataon’ ny tànany ihany no hanody azy.
12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Ny amin’ ny oloko, dia zaza no mampahory azy, Ary ireo vehivavy no manapaka azy. Ry oloko ô, ny mpitarika anao no mampivily anao Sady mandrava ny lalana alehanao.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
Jehovah mitsangana handahatra Ka miatrika hitsara ny firenena.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.
Jehovah miampanga ny loholona sy ny lehiben’ ny olony amin’ ny fitsarana hoe: Hianareo no efa nandevona ny tanim-boaloboka; Ary ao an-tranonareo ny fananan’ ny malahelo izay efa nalaina an-keriny.
15 What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD God of hosts.
Ahoana no hevitrareo no dia hosihosenareo ny oloko, Ary torotoroinareo ny tavan’ ny malahelo? Hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with extended necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Ary hoy koa Jehovah: Satria miavona ireo zanakavavin’ i Ziona ka mandeha mianjonanjona sy manao maso meloka Sady kasikasy fandeha Ary mampikorintsandrintsana ny fehin-tongony,
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their secret parts.
Noho izany dia hataon’ ny Tompo feno tako-pery ny tampon-dohan’ ny zanakavavin’ i Ziona, Ary Jehovah hampiseho ny fitanjahany.
18 In that day the LORD will take away the show of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hesorin’ i Jehovah ny firavaka rehetra, na ny fehin-tongotra, Na ny fehi-loha, na ny sarim-bolan-tsinana,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
Na ny kavina voavola, na ny rojo, na ny fisalobonana makarakara,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,
Na ny satroka, na ny rojo parapaingo, na ny fehin-kibo misy haingony, Na ny fitoeran-dranomanitra, na ny ody fanaony ravaka,
21 The rings, and nose-jewels,
Na ny peratra, na ny kavin’ orona,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,
Na ny akanjo fihaingoana, na ny kapôty, Na ny saly, na ny poketra,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
Na ny fitaratra fizahana, na ny akanjo somizy anatiny, Na ny satroka fihaingoana, na ny lamba fisaronana;
24 And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be an offensive odor; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty.
Ary ny manitra hosoloana ny maimbo; Ary ny fehin-kibo tsara hosoloana ny mahazaka; Ary ny volo voavoatra tsara hosoloana ny boriana; Ary ny akanjo miebanebana hosoloana ny lamba fisaonana; Ary ny hatsaran-tarehy hosoloana ny tomboka amin’ ny vy mahamay.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Ny lehilahy ao aminao ho lavon-tsabatra, Ary ny mahery ao aminao ho faty an’ ady;
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
Ka dia hitomany sy hisaona ny vavahadiny; Ary ho lao ny tanàna ka hanjokaiky,
