Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
Aoka aho hihira ny amin’ ny Malalako, dia hiran’ ny Malalako ny amin’ ny tanim-boalobony. Ny Malalako nanana tanim-boaloboka tao an-kavoana lonaka;
2 And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
Dia nasainy io, ka nesoriny ny vato, Ary novoleny karazam-boaloboka tsara, Sady nanao tilikambo teo afovoany Izy Ary nandavaka famiazam-boaloboka teo; Dia nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Izy, Kanjo namoa voalobo-dratsy.
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Koa noho izany, ry mponina any Jerosalema sy ry lehilahy amin’ ny Joda, Masìna ianareo, tsarao Aho sy ny tanim-boaloboko.
4 What — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
Inona moa no mbola azo natao tamin’ ny tanim-boaloboko, Ka tsy efa nataoko taminy? Koa raha nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Aho, Nahoana no namoa voalobo-dratsy izy?
5 And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
Koa noho izany dia aoka hambarako anareo izay hataoko amin’ ny tanim-boaloboko: Hesoriko ny fefy tsilony, ka dia holevonina izy; Ary harodako ny fefy vatony, ka dia ho voahitsakitsaka izy;
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
Ary hataoko simba dia simba izy; Tsy hohetezana ny sakeli-boalobony, ary tsy hohevoina izy, Fa ho rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo; Ary hodidiako ny rahona tsy hampilatsaka ranonorana aminy.
7 Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
Fa ny taranak’ i Isiraely no tanim-boalobok’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda no voly tiany; Dia nanantena fitsarana marina Izy, kanjo fandatsahan-drà; Niandry fahamarinana Izy, kanjo, indro, fitarainana.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Lozanareo izay mangorona trano lalandava Sady mampiharo vala ny saha amin’ ny saha, Ambara-paha-tsy hisy hitoeran’ ny sasany intsony, Mba ho tonga mponina manirery eo amin’ ny tany ianareo!
9 By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
Izao no ren’ ny sofiko avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Marina tokoa fa ho foana ny trano maro, Eny, na dia izay lehibe sady tsara aza dia tsy hisy mpitoetra.
10 For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
Ary bata iray monja no ho vokatry ny tanim-boaloboka folo Zemeda, Ary rehefa iray monja no ho vokatry ny voan-javatra eran’ ny homera.
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
Lozan’ izay mifoha maraina koa ka mitady toaka! Izay miboboka mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ka ampirehetin’ ny divay!
12 And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
Ary ny lokanga sy ny valiha, ny ampongatapaka sy ny sodina ary ny divay no foto-panasany; Fa ny asan’ i Jehovah tsy mba jereny, Ary ny ataon’ ny tanany tsy mba hitany.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Ary noho izany dia ho lasan-ko babo ny oloko noho ny tsi-fahalalany, Ary ny olona ambony ho mosarena, Ary ny valalabemandry ho main’ ny hetaheta.
14 Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into her. (Sheol h7585)
Koa izany no mampitanatana vava ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hanao teli-moka an’ i Jerosalema; Ary any no hivarinan’ ny voninahiny sy ny fihahohahony ary ny tabatabany mbamin’ izay mifalifaly ao aminy; (Sheol h7585)
15 And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Ary ny zanak’ olombelona dia hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny olona haetry, Ary ny mason’ ny miandranandrana dia haidina.
16 And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hisandratra amin’ ny fitsarana, Ary Andriamanitra masìna dia hiseho ho masìna amin’ ny fahamarinana.
17 And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
Ary ny zanak’ ondry hikania toy ny eny amin’ ny tany fiandrasana azy ihany; Ary ny tany foana izay nipetrahan’ ny matavy, dia mpirenireny no hiandry ondry ao.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
Lozan’ izay mitari-keloka amin’ ny kofehin’ ny faharatsiana Ary mitarika ota toy ny amin’ ny mahazakan-tsariety,
19 Who are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
Dia izay manao hoe: Aoka hohafainganiny sy hododonany ny asany, mba ho hitantsika, Ary aoka izay kasain’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely ho mby akaiky ka ho tanteraka, mba ho fantatsika!
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Lozan’ izay milaza ny ratsy ho tsara ary na tsara ho ratsy! Izay manao ny maizina ho mavaza ary ny mazava ho maizina! Izay manao ny mangidy ho mamy ary ny mamy ho mangidy!
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
Lozan’ izay manao azy ho hendry sy manao azy ho mazava saina!
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Lozan’ izay fatratra nefa amin’ ny fisotroan-divay ihany, sy izay kanto nefa amin’ ny fampiharoharoana toaka ihany!
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
Ary izay manamarina ny meloka noho ny kolikoly sy manala ny rariny amin’ ny marina!
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
Koa toy ny fandevonan’ ny lelafo ny mololo, ary toy ny fifitsaky ny bozaka midedadeda, dia toy izany no hahalovan’ ny fakany sy hijofoan’ ny voniny hanjary vovoka, satria efa nandà ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro izy Sy nanamavo ny tenin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
25 Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
Koa izany no irehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny olony sy aninjirany ny tànany aminy ka amelezany azy; Dia mihorohoro ny tendrombohitra, ary ny fatin’ ny olona dia tonga tahaka ny diky eny an-dalambe. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
26 And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
Ary hanangana faneva ho amin’ ny firenena lavitra Izy sady hisiaka hiantso ny iray avy any am-paran’ ny tany; Ary, indro, ho avy faingana dia faingana ireo;
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
Tsy hisy reraka na tafintohina ao aminy; Tsy ho rendrehana na hatory izy: Tsy hiboraka ny fehin-kibony, ary tsy ho tapaka ny fehin-kapany,
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
Maranitra ny zana-tsipìkany, Ary voahenjana avokoa ny tsipìkany; Ny kitron-tsoavaliny atao ho tahaka ny afovato; Ary ny kodiany ho tahaka ny tadio;
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
Ny fierony dia tahaka ny fieron’ ny liom-bavy, Ary mierona tahaka ny liona tanora izy; Eny, manerona izy ka mandrapaka ny toha, Dia lasany, ka tsy azo alaina intsony.
30 And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
Ary hirohondrohona aminy amin’ izany andro izany izy Tahaka ny firohondrohon’ ny ranomasina; Ary raha mijery ny tany ny olona, dia indro aizina sy fahoriana; Ary ny fahazavana hohamaizinin’ ny rahona.
