Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. 'Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful land.
Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo ny Efitra Ranobe. Tahaka ny firimorimon’ ny tadio any atsimo no fihaviny avy any an-efitra, dia avy any amin’ ny tany mahatahotra.
2 A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease.
Misy fahitana mampahory naseho tamiko: Ny mpamitaka mamitaka, ary ny mpandringana mandringana. Iakaro, ry Elama ô! ekeo, ry Media ô! Hatsahatro ny fisentoana rehetra.
3 Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
Ary raha nahita izany aho, dia feno fanaintainana ny valahako; Fijalijaliana no nahazo ahy tahaka ny fijalijalian’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka; Niolanolana fatratra aho ka tsy nandre izany; Toran-kovitra aho ka tsy nahita izany.
4 Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me,
Niemponempona ny foko, nampahatahotra ahy ny horohoro; Ny hariva fahafinaretako nampodiny ho fangovitako.
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield,
Velarina ny latabatra, miambina ny mpiambina, mihinana sy misotro ny olona mitsangàna, ianareo lehibe, ka hosory ny ampinga!
6 For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana, manendre tily; Ka izay hitany no aoka holazainy.
7 And he hath seen a chariot — a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention — He hath increased attention!
Dia nahita izy ka indreo mpitaingina manao andiany mandeha tsiroaroa sy boriky andiany ary rameva andiany. Ary nihaino izy, eny, nihaino dia nihaino;
8 And he crieth — a lion, 'On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights.
Dia niantso nanao feon-diona izy ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô! izaho mijanona mandrakariva eto ambonin’ ny fitazanako nony antoandro, Ary mitoetra eto amin’ ny fiambenako aho mandritra ny alina;
9 And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: 'Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
Koa, indreo, avy ny olona andiany, mpitaingina mandeha tsiroaroa; Ary nanandratra ny feony izy ka nanao hoe: Rava, rava Babylona! Ary ny sarin’ ny andriamaniny rehetra dia voatorotoro miraraka amin’ ny tany.
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
Ry ahy voavely toy ny vary teo am-pamoloako ô! Izay efa reko tamin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no nambarako taminareo.
11 The burden of Dumah. Unto me is [one] calling from Seir 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?'
Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Edoma. Misy miantso ahy any Seïra manao hoe: Ry mpiambina ô, toy inona alina moa izao? Ry mpiambina ô, toy inona alina moa izao?
12 The watchman hath said, 'Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.'
Dia hoy ny mpiambina: Avy ny maraina, avy koa ny alina; Raha mbola ta-hanontany ianareo, dia manontania ihany; ka avia, miverena.
13 The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim.
Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Arabia. Any an’ ala any Arabia no andrianareo, ry andian’ ny Dedanita.
14 To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
Itondrana rano ny mangetaheta; Ny mponina amin’ ny tany Tema mitsena hanina ny mandositra;
15 For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
Fa mandositra ny sabatra ireo, dia ny sabatra voatsoaka sy ny tsipìka voahenjana ary ny havesatry ny ady.
16 For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Ato anatin’ ny herintaona, tahaka ny taonan’ ny mpikarama, dia ho levona avokoa ny voninahitr’ i Kedara;
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'
Ary ny tsipìka sisa izay; an’ ny lehilahy mahery, taranak’ i Kedara, dia ho vitsy foana, fa Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ao efa niteny.
