Isaia 10
1 Lozan’ izay mamorona fikasana tsy marina sy izay mpanoratra manoratra fampahoriana,
Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,
2 Hampialany ny mahantra amin’ ny fitsarana sy hanalany ny rariny amin’ izay ory eo amin’ ny oloko, Handrobany ny mpitondratena sy hamaboany ny kamboty!
to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.
3 Ary ahoana no hataonareo amin’ ny andro famaliana sy amin’ ny fandravana izay avy amin’ ny lavitra? Ho any amin’ iza no handosiranareo hamonjy anareo? Ary aiza no hametrahanareo ny harenareo?
What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
4 Tsy misy azony atao afa-tsy ny mihohoka voatsindrin’ ny mpifatotra sy ny lavo voatsindrin’ ny voavono. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
5 Endrey! ry Asyria, tsorakazon’ ny fahatezerako ô, Eny, tehina eny an-tànany ny fahavinirako!
Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.
6 Hamely firenena mihatsaravelatsihy no anirahako azy, ary hamely ny firenena izay iharan’ ny fahatezerako no andidiako azy, hamabo sy handroba ary hanao azy ho fanitsakitsaka tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalambe.
I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.
7 Kanjo tsy izany no kasainy, ary tsy izany no heverin’ ny fony; Fa ny handringana sy ny hamongotra firenena tsy vitsy no ao am-pony.
But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
8 Fa hoy izy: Tsy mpanjaka avokoa va ireny governorako ireny?
“Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.
9 Tsy tahaka an’ i Karkemisy va Kalno? Tsy tahaka an’ i Arpada va Hamata? Ary tsy tahaka an’ i Damaskosy va Samaria?
“Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Tahaka ny nahatraran’ ny tanako ny fanjakan’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy, na dia nihoatra noho ny an’ i Jerosalema sy ny an’ i Samaria aza ny sampin’ ireo,
As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 Dia tsy tahaka ny nataoko tamin’ i Samaria sy ny andriamanini-tsi-izy va no hataoko amin’ i Jerosalema sy ny sampiny koa?
and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
12 Kanefa rehefa vitan’ ny Tompo ny asany rehetra ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona sy Jerosalema, dia hovaliany kosa ny vokatry ny fiavonavonan’ ny fon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy ny reharehan’ ny fiandranandran’ ny masony;
So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
13 Fa izy manao hoe: Tamin’ ny herin’ ny tanako no nanaovako izany, sy tamin’ ny fahendreko, fa mahira-tsaina aho; Ary nanaisotra ny faritanin’ ny firenena aho sady namabo ny hareny, ary tahaka ny famotraky ny ombilahy no namotrahako mpanapaka;
For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.
14 Ary tahaka ny fakàna ny ao amin’ ny akanim-borona no nakan’ ny tanako ny haren’ ny firenena; Ary tahaka ny famory atody nilaozan-dreniny no namoriako ny any amin’ ny tany rehetra, Ka tsy nisy nikopaka elatra, na nisoka-bava, na nikiakiaka.
My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. No wing fluttered, no beak opened or chirped.’”
15 Ny famaky va hirehareha amin’ izay mikapa aminy? Ny tsofa va hiavonavona amin’ izay manatsofa aminy? Toy ny tsorakazo, raha manetsika izay manainga azy! Ary toy ny tehina, raha manandratra ny tompony!
Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
16 Koa izany no anateran’ ny Tompo, dia ny Tompon’ ny maro, fahahiazana amin’ ny tremalahiny; Ary ao ambanin’ ny voninahiny dia hisy mirehitra toy ny firehitry ny afo.
Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.
17 Ary ny fahazavan’ ny Isiraely ho tonga afo, ary ny Iray Masiny ho tonga lelafo, ka hodorany ho levona indray andro monja ny tsilony sy ny heriny;
And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
18 Ary ny voninahitry ny alany sy ny sahany mahavokatra dia holevoniny, na ny fanahiny, na ny nofony, ka ho tahaka ny fifezak’ izay marary mafy izany.
The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
19 Ary ho vitsy ny hazo sisa any an’ alany, ka na dia izay mbola zaza aza hahasoratra azy.
The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
20 Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny Isiraely sisa, izay tsy ringana amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, dia tsy hiankina amin’ izay namely azy intsony; Fa Jehovah, Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, ihany no hiankinany marina tokoa.
On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Ary izay sisa amin’ i Jakoba dia hiverina ho amin’ Andriamanitra Mahery.
A remnant will return —a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.
22 Fa na dia tahaka ny fasika any amin’ ny ranomasina aza ny isan’ ny Isiraely olonao, dia izay sisa aminy ihany no hiverina; Voatendry ny fandringanana izay hanafotra ho famaliana marina;
Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
23 Fa fahafonganana voatendry no hataon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ao amin’ ny tany.
For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Ry oloko, izay monina any Ziona, Aza matahotra ny Asyriana, raha mamely anao amin’ ny tsorakazo izy ary manainga ny tehina aminao, tahaka ny fanao tany Egypta;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25 Fa rehefa afaka vetivety, dia hitsahatra ny fahavinirana, ary ny fahatezerako dia handringana azy kosa.
For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
26 Eny, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, hamely azy amin’ ny kotopia, tahaka ny namelezana ny Midiana teo am-batolampy Oreba; ary ny tsorakazony haingainy eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina ka hatsangany tahaka ny fanao tany Egypta.
And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
27 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia ho afaka eo an-tsorokao ny entany ary ny bao fitondrany ho afaka amin’ ny vozonao, ary ho tapaka ny bao fitondrana noho ny fihatavezany.
On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.
28 Injao! tonga any Aiata izy, mamaky an’ i Migrona izy ary mametraka ny entany ao Mikmasy,
Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.
29 Mihoatra ao an-kadilanana izy Ao Geba isika no handry, hoy izy; Mangovitra Rama, mandositra Gibean’ i Saoly;
They have crossed at the ford: “We will spend the night at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
30 Mikiakiaha mafy, ry zanakavavin’ i Galima, Mampandria sofina, ry Laisy. Indrisy, ry Anatota mahantra!
Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth!
31 Lasa mandositra Madmena, ny mponina any Gebima mitondra ny entany mandositra.
Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge.
32 Anio izy mbola mitoetra any Noba, Maninjitra ny tànany manambana ny tendrombohitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy, dia ny havoan’ i Jerosalema.
Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Indro, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, manapaka ny rantsany madinika amin’ ny heriny mahatahotra; Ary izay mijoaka lava no voakapa, ary izay avo no aetry;
Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.
34 Ary kapaina vy ny ala mikirindro, ary Libanona dia alamaky ny iray Mahery.
He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
