Isaia 13
1 Faminaniana hitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Babylona.
The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
2 Manangàna faneva eo an-tampon’ izay tendrombohitra mangadihady ianareo, manandrata feo hiantso azy, hofay tanana izy hiditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ireo mpanapaka.
“Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
3 Izaho efa nandidy ny nohamasiniko, eny, efa niantso ny lehilahy maheriko aho, dia ireo mibitaka amim-pireharehana, hahatanteraka ny fahatezerako.
I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
4 Injany! ny horakoraka any an-tendrombohitra, tahaka ny an’ ny vahoaka be! Dia ny fitabataban’ ny fanjakan’ ny firenena efa tafatambatra! Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no manomana miaramila hiady,
A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
5 Izay avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra, any amin’ ny faravodilanitra, dia Jehovah sy ireo fitaovan’ ny fahatezerany, ho enti-mandrava ny tany rehetra.
They are coming in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
6 Midradradradrà ianareo, fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah, ka tahaka ny loza tsy toha avy amin’ ny Tsitoha no fihaviny.
Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
7 Ary noho izany dia hiraviravy ny tanana rehetra, ary ho kivy ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona rehetra;
Therefore, all hands fail, And every heart of man melts.
8 Ho toran-kovitra izy; Fanaintainana sy fahoriana no hahazo azy, ka hijalijaly tahaka ny vehivavy mihetsi-jaza izy; samy ho talanjona izy ka hifampijery; Mitarehin-delafo ny tarehiny.
And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
9 Indro, avy ny andron’ i Jehovah, dia loza sy fahavinirana ary firehetan’ ny fahatezerana hanafoanana ny tany sy handringanana ny mpanota tsy ho ao.
Behold, the Day of YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from it.
10 Fa ny kintan’ ny lanitra, na dia ireo Telonohorefy aza, dia tsy hampamirapiratra ny fahazavany; ny masoandro ho maizina amin’ ny iposahany; Ary ny volana tsy hangarangarana.
For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
11 Ary hatsingeriko amin’ izao tany rehetra izao ny faharatsiany, sy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy ny helony; Ary hatsahatro ny fireharehan’ ny mpiavonavona, Ary haetriko ny fiavonavonan’ ny mpampahory.
“And I have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
12 Dia hataoko ho saro-tadiavina mihoatra noho ny volamena tsara ny olombelona, eny, noho ny tena volamena avy any Ofira aza.
I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
13 Ary noho izany dia hampihorohoroiko ny lanitra, ary ny tany hientanentana hiala amin’ ny fitoerany noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, sy noho ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
Therefore I cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His anger.
14 Ary ho tahaka ny gazela hazaina ny olona, sy ho tahaka ny ondry aman’ osy tsy misy mpamory, ka dia samy ho lasa any amin’ ny fireneny avy izy, eny, samy handositra ho any amin’ ny taniny avy izy.
And it has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
15 Izay rehetra azo dia holefonina, ary izay rehetra tratra dia ho lavon’ ny sabatra.
Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by sword.
16 Ary ny zanany madinika hotorotoroina eo imasony; Ny tranony hobaboina, ary ny vadiny hosavihina.
And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
17 Indro, hamporisihiko hamely azy ny Mediana, izay manao ny volafotsy tsy ho zavatra ary tsy mankamamy ny volamena.
Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
18 Ny tsipìkany handripaka ny zatovo, ary izay ateraky ny kibo tsy hamindrany fo, eny, na dia ny zaza aza tsy hiantran’ ny masony.
And bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
19 Ary Babylona, ravaky ny fanjakana maro Tabiha sy reharehan’ ny Kaldeana, Dia ho rava tahaka ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora;
And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
20 Tsy honenana mandrakizay izy ary tsy hitoerana intsony hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby, Tsy hisy Arabo hanorin-day any, na mpiandry ondry hampandry ny ondriny any;
She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down there.
21 Fa ny bibi-dia any an-efitra no hitoetra any, ho feno vorondolo ny tranony, ny ostritsa no hitoetra any, ary ny osilahy no hitsambikimbikina any,
And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip there.
22 Ny kary no hifampierena ao an-tranobeny, ary ny amboadia ao amin’ ny lapa nanaranam-po; efa antomotra ny fotoany, ary ny androny tsy hatao ela.
And howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
