Isaiah 18
1 Ho, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,
Indrisy ny tany be fibiziziokan’ elatra! Izay any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia,
2 That is sending by sea ambassadors, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters, — Go, ye light messengers, Unto a nation drawn out and peeled, Unto a people fearful from its beginning and onwards, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods 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 ye dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills ye look, And at the blowing of a trumpet ye hear.
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 thus said Jehovah unto me, 'I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick 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 harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then hath [one] cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches he hath turned aside, cut down.
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 are left together to the ravenous fowl of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And summered on them hath the ravenous fowl, And every beast of the earth wintereth on 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 At that time brought is a present to Jehovah of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning hitherto, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, Unto the place of the name of Jehovah of Hosts — 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.
