< Isaiah 31 >
1 Woe [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.
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 And He also [is] wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of 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 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.
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 thus said Jehovah unto me: 'As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.
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 flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'
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 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
Koa miverena ho amin’ izay efa niodinanareo fatratra, ry zanak’ Isiraely ô.
7 For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you — a sin.
Fa amin’ izany andro izany dia harian’ ny olona rehetra ny andriamani-bolafotsiny sy ny andriamani-bolamenany, izay fahotana nataon’ ny tananareo.
8 And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword — not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
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 And [to] his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes — an affirmation of Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a 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.
