Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek the LORD!
Lozan’ izay midìna any Egypta hitady famonjena sy miantehitra amin’ ny soavaly ary matoky ny kalesy, satria maro ireny, sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly, satria mahery dia mahery ireny, fa tsy manandrandra ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, na mitady an’ i Jehovah.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
Nefa Izy koa dia hendry ka mahatonga loza, ary tsy tsoahany ny teniny; Fa mitsangana Izy hamely ny mpianakavin’ ny mpanao ratsy sy izay manampy ny mpanao meloka.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Fa olona ihany ny Egyptiana fa tsy Andriamanitra; Ary nofo ihany ny soavaliny, fa tsy fanahy. Koa raha ahinjitr’ i Jehovah ny tànany, dia ho tafintohina izay manampy, ary ho potraka izay ampiana, ka samy ho levona avokoa izy roa tonta.
4 For the LORD says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Tahaka ny fieron’ ny liona sy ny liona tanora eo amin’ ny rembiny, ka na dia voangona aza ny mpiandry ondry betsaka hamely azy, Tsy matahotra ny feon’ ireo izy, na mandatsa-dremby noho ny fihorakorahany, dia tahaka izany no hidinan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Hiady ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona sy ny havoany.
5 As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
Tahaka ny vorona manomba no hiarovan’ i Jehovah, tompon’ ny maro, an’ i Jerosalema, fa sady hiaro no hamonjy Izy, eny, sady hiantra no hanafaka.
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
Koa miverena ho amin’ izay efa niodinanareo fatratra, ry zanak’ Isiraely ô.
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
Fa amin’ izany andro izany dia harian’ ny olona rehetra ny andriamani-bolafotsiny sy ny andriamani-bolamenany, izay fahotana nataon’ ny tananareo.
8 “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labour.
Ary ny Asyriana ho lavon’ ny sabatra izay tsy mba an’ olombelona, eny, sabatra izay tsy mba an’ olombelona no handringanana azy; Dia handositra ny sabatra izy, ary ny zatovony hampanaovina fanompoana,
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ary ny mpanjakany ho lasa noho ny fahatahorana, Ary mpanapaka azy hivadi-po noho ny faneva, hoy Jehovah, Izay manana ny afony ao Ziona sy ny fatany fandoroana ao Jerosalema.
