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 rams to the ruler of the land from Selah in the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
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.
As wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.
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 instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day; hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.
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 them live among you, the refugees from Moab; be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.” For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease, those who trample will disappear from 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 covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there. He will judge as he seeks justice and does 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 heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.
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.
So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
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.
The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert. Its shoots spread abroad; they went over to 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.
Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.
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 and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.
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.
So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.
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.
When Moab wears himself out on the high place and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.
13 Izany no tenin’ i Jehovah nataony fahiny ny amin’ i Moaba.
This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.
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.
Again Yahweh speaks, “Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant.”
