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 ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to 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.
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of 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!
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noon-day; hide the outcasts; discover not him that wandereth.
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 thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, 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.
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting 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 the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.
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 shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] 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, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down her principal plants, they have come [even] to Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are extended, they have gone 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 bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is 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.
And gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] -shouting to cease.
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.
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-haresh.
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.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13 Izany no tenin’ i Jehovah nataony fahiny ny amin’ i Moaba.
This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
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 the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
