Isaia 10

1 Lozan’ izay mamorona fikasana tsy marina sy izay mpanoratra manoratra fampahoriana,

“Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,

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!

Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.

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?

And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?

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.

It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.

5 Endrey! ry Asyria, tsorakazon’ ny fahatezerako ô, Eny, tehina eny an-tànany ny fahavinirako!

“Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.

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 send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.

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.

And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.

8 Fa hoy izy: Tsy mpanjaka avokoa va ireny governorako ireny?

For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?

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 as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as 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 has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than 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?

Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”

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;

And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of 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 has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,

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.

And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”

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 the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which 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, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.

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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.

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.

And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.

19 Ary ho vitsy ny hazo sisa any an’ alany, ka na dia izay mbola zaza aza hahasoratra azy.

And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes 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.

And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 Ary izay sisa amin’ i Jakoba dia hiverina ho amin’ Andriamanitra Mahery.

A remnant returns—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;

For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.

23 Fa fahafonganana voatendry no hataon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ao amin’ ny tany.

For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the 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, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.

25 Fa rehefa afaka vetivety, dia hitsahatra ny fahavinirana, ary ny fahatezerako dia handringana azy kosa.

For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”

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 YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of 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.

And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.

28 Injao! tonga any Aiata izy, mamaky an’ i Migrona izy ary mametraka ny entany ao Mikmasy,

He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.

29 Mihoatra ao an-kadilanana izy Ao Geba isika no handry, hoy izy; Mangovitra Rama, mandositra Gibean’ i Saoly;

They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.

30 Mikiakiaha mafy, ry zanakavavin’ i Galima, Mampandria sofina, ry Laisy. Indrisy, ry Anatota mahantra!

Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.

31 Lasa mandositra Madmena, ny mponina any Gebima mitondra ny entany mandositra.

Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.

32 Anio izy mbola mitoetra any Noba, Maninjitra ny tànany manambana ny tendrombohitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy, dia ny havoan’ i Jerosalema.

Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, 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, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,

34 Ary kapaina vy ny ala mikirindro, ary Libanona dia alamaky ny iray Mahery.

And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
