Isaia 1
1 Ny fahitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, izay hitany ny amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema tamin’ ny andron’ i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, izay samy mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Mandrenesa, ry lanitra, ary mihainoa, ry tany, Fa Jehovah no miteny hoe: Efa nitaiza sy nahalehibe zaza Aho, Kanjo niodina tamiko ireo.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Ny omby mahalala ny tompony, Ary ny boriky ny fihinanam-bilon’ ny tompony; Fa ny Isiraely tsy mahalala, Ny oloko tsy misaina.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Indrisy! firenena mpanota, olona mavesa-keloka, Taranaka mpanao ratsy, zanaka mpanao meloka! Efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy, Efa nanamavo ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely. Efa nihodina izy.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Nahoana no mbola ta-hasiana ihany ianareo noho izao fiodinanareo lalandava izao? Henika aretina avokoa ny loha rehetra, Ary marary ny fo rehetra.
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Hatramin’ ny faladia ka hatramin’ ny loha dia tsy misy izay tsy marary, Fa ratra sy dian-kapoka ary fery vao; Tsy mbola voaporitra, na voafehy, na voalemin’ ny diloilo izy.
From the sole of the foot even to the head [there is] no soundness in [it]; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Ny taninareo dia efa lao; Ny tanànanareo dia voadotra tamin’ ny afo; Ny tany volenareo dia lanin’ ny fahavalo eo imasonareo, ary lao izy toy ny efa noravan’ ny fahavalo.
Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Ary Ziona zanakavavy dia nilaozana tahaka ny trano rantsan-kazo ao anaty tanim-boaloboka, Sy tahaka ny fandriana mihantona an’ ny mpiandry voly ao anaty tanimbolim-boantango, Dia tahaka ny tanàna atao fahirano.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Raha tsy nosisan’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro, olona vitsivitsy isika, Dia efa tonga tahaka an’ i Sodoma Ary nitovy tamin’ i Gomora.
Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.
10 Mandrenesa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpitsaran’ i Sodoma; Mihainoa ny lalàn’ Andriamanitsika, ry vahoakan’ i Gomora.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 Hataoko inona ny zavatra betsaka vonoinareo ho fanatitra? hoy Jehovah; Efa tofoka ny ondrilahy atao fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran’ ny zanak’ omby mifahy Aho, Ary tsy sitrako ny ran’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy sy ny an’ ny zanak’ ondry ary ny an’ ny osilahy.
To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 Raha avy miseho eo anatrehako ianareo, Iza moa no nitady anareo hanitsakitsaka ny kianjako?
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Aza mitondra fanati-poana intsony; Fofona fahavetavetana amiko izany! Ny voaloham-bolana sy ny Sabata ary ny fiantsoam-piangonana Tsy zakako ny fivoriana masìna haroharoam-paharatsiana!
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Ny voaloham-bolanareo sy ny fotoam-pivavahanareo dia halan’ ny fanahiko, Mavesatra amiko izany, Ka sasatra mitondra azy Aho.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear [them].
15 Raha mananty tanana ianareo, Dia hitampi-maso tsy hijery anareo Aho; Eny, na dia manao vavaka be aza ianareo, dia tsy hihaino Aho; Feno ran’ olona ny tananareo.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Misasà ianareo, diovy ny tenanareo, Esory tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny masoko ny ratsy fanaonareo; Mitsahara, fa aza manao ratsy;
Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Mianara hanao ny tsara, Diniho izay rariny, anaro ny mpampahory, Omeo rariny ny kamboty, tsarao ny adin’ ny mpitondratena.
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Avia ary hifandahatra isika, hoy Jehovah: Na dia tahaka ny jaky aza ny fahotanareo, Dia ho fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala, Na dia mangatrakatraka tahaka ny sily aza, Dia ho tahaka ny volon’ ondry fotsy.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Raha manaiky sy mankatò ianareo, dia hihinana ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany;
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 Fa raha mbola mandà sy miodina ihany ianareo, Dia ho lanin’ ny sabatra: Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
21 Indrisy! tonga janga ity tanàna mahatoky Izay feno ny rariny taloha Sady nitoeran’ ny fahamarinana, Fa ankehitriny kosa mpamono olona no ao.
How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Ny volafotsinao efa tonga tain-drendrika; Ny divainao efa voatsatso rano;
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Ny lehibenao dia mpiodina sady naman’ ny mpangalatra; Samy tia kolikoly sy fatra-nitady tambitam-by avokoa izy rehetra; Ny kamboty tsy mba omeny rariny, Ary ny adin’ ny mpitondratena tsy avelany ho entina eo anatrehany.
Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Ka dia hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ilay Maherin’ ny Isiraely: E! hiala fo amin’ ny mandrafy Ahy Aho Ary hamaly ny fahavaloko.
Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
25 Dia hamerina ny tanako ho aminao Aho, Ka hodioviko amin’ ny lavenona ianao hahafahan’ ny tain-drendrikao, ary hesoriko ny firaka rehetra aminao.
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 Dia hampodiko ho toy ny teo aloha ny mpitsaranao, Ary ny mpanolo-tsainao ho toy ny tamin’ ny voalohany; Ary rehefa afaka izany, ianao dia hantsoina hoe: Tanànan’ ny fahamarinana, Tanàna mahatoky.
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Ziona havotana amin’ ny fitsarana, ary izay efa mibebaka ao dia havotana amin’ ny fahamarinana;
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Ary samy haringana avotoa ny mpiodina sy ny mpanota, Eny, ho lany ritra izay mahafoy an’ i Jehovah.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29 Fa hahazo henatra ianareo noho ny amin’ ny hazo terebinta izay nifalianareo, ary hangaihay ianareo noho ny amin’ ny saha izay natokanareo.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 Fa ho tahaka ny hazo terebinta malazo ravina ianareo, Sy ho tahaka ny saha tsy misy rano.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 Ny mahery ho tahaka ny vohavoha, Ary ny asany ho tahaka ny kilalaon’ afo, Dia hiaraka hodorana izy roa tonta, Ka tsy hisy hamono ny afo.
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].
