Isaia 16
1 Atero ny zanak’ ondrin’ ny mpanapaka ny tany, dia miala an’ i Sela ka mamaky ny efitra hatramin’ ny tendrombohitr’ i Ziona zanakavavy.
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude· to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
2 Ary tahaka ny vorona notairina niala tamin’ ny akaniny ka mirenireny foana, dia ho toy izany ny zanakavavin’ i Moaba ao amin’ ny fitàna any Arnona.
For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab [From father] be at the fords of the Arnon.
3 Manolora saina, manomeza rariny ataovy tahaka ny alina ny alokao, na dia amin’ ilay andro mitataovovonana iny aza; Afeno izay voaroaka, Ary aza aseho izay mandositra!
Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!
4 Aoka hitoetra ao aminao izay oloko voaroaka; Ary aoka ho fieren’ i Moaba ianao, mba tsy ho azon’ ny mpandringana izy; Fa tsy misy intsony ny mpampahory, tapitra ny loza, tsy misy amin’ ny tany intsony ny mpanosihosy.
Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab [From father], be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Ary hisy seza fiandrianana hampitoerina amin’ ny famindram-po, ka hisy hipetraka eo aminy amin’ ny fahamarinana ao an-dain’ i Davida, ary hitsara sy handinika izay marina izy, sady ho faingam-pamoaka ny rariny.
A throne will be established in chesed ·loving-kindness·. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David [Beloved], judging, seeking mishpat ·justice·, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Efa renay ny fiavonavonan’ i Moaba fatra-piavonavona loatra izy dia ny fireharehany sy ny fiavonavonany sy ny fihoa-bavany ary ny fibedibediny foana.
We have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the pride of Moab [From father], that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
7 Ary noho izany dia ho indray midradradradra Moaba, eny, samy hidradradradra avokoa izy rehetra; Fa hitomany ny ampempam-boalobok’ i Kira-haresa ianareo ka ho ory indrindra.
Therefore Moab [From father] will wail for Moab [From father]. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
8 Fa malazo avokoa ny sahan’ i Hesbona sy ny voalobok’ i Sibma, norantsanan’ ny andrian’ ny firenena ny sakeliny, tonga hatrany Jazera sy nisandrahaka tany an-efitra izy, ny sampany nandadilady ka tafita ny ranomasina.
For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
9 Koa izany no hitomaniako ny voalobok’ i Sibma, toy ny fitomanian’ i Jazera, handena anao amin’ ny ranomasoko aho, ry Hesbona sy Elale; fa mihatra amin’ ny vokatrao lohataona sy ny fararanonao ny fanakorana.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
10 Ny hafaliana sy ny haravoravoana efa nesorina tamin’ ny saha mahavokatra, ka tsy hisy hoby na horakoraka ao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka; Ny mpanosihosy tsy hanosihosy divay intsony ao amin’ ny famiazana; Efa natsahatro ny fihobiana amin’ ny fararano.
Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
11 Ary noho izany ny tsinaiko dia mitaraina manao feon-dokanga noho ny amin’ i Moaba, ary ny ato anatiko noho ny amin’ i Kira-haresa.
Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab [From father], and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
12 Ary rehefa miseho Moaba ka sasatra ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo. Ary mankao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna mba hivavaka, dia tsy hahazo na inona na inona izy.
It will happen that when Moab [From father] presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
13 Izany no tenin’ i Jehovah nataony fahiny ny amin’ i Moaba.
This is the word that Adonai spoke concerning Moab [From father] in time past.
14 Ary ankehitriny koa Jehovah miteny hoe: Amin’ ny telo taona, tahaka ny taonan’ ny mpikarama, dia ho tsinontsinona ny voninahitr’ i Moaba, na dia betsaka aza ny vahoakany; ary izay sisa dia ho vitsy, eny, ho vitsy foana, fa tsy ho maro.
But now Adonai has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab [From father] shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
