Isaia 19
1 Indro, Jehovah mitaingina rahona miriotra mafy ka mankany Egypta; Ary ny andriamani-tsi-izy any Egypta dia mangorohoro eo anatrehany, ary ny fon’ i Egypta dia ketraka ao anatiny.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord will ascend upon a lofty cloud, and he will enter into Egypt, and the false images of Egypt will be moved before his face, and the heart of Egypt will waste away in its midst.
2 Ary hamporisihiko hiady izy samy Egyptiana, ka samy hiady amin’ ny rahalahiny avy sy amin’ ny namany avy izy; Ny tanàna hiady amin’ ny tanàna, ary ny fanjakana amin’ ny fanjakana.
And I will cause Egyptian to rush against Egyptian. And they will fight: a man against his brother, and a man against his friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 Ary ho very hevitra ny Egyptiana; Eny, hofoanako ny saina ataony; Ary hila saina amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy sy amin’ ny mpibitsibitsika amin’ ny odiny izy sy amin’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra ary amin’ ny mpanao sikidy.
And the spirit of Egypt will be ruptured to its very core. And I will cast down their plan violently. And they will seek answers from their false images, and their diviners, and those led by demons, and their seers.
4 Ary Egypta dia hatolotro hogiazana amin’ izay fitondrana mafy, ary mpanjaka masiaka no hanjaka aminy, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will dominate them, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
5 Ny rano amin’ ny ranomasina ho tankina, ary ny ony ho ritra ka ho maina;
And the waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be desolate and dry.
6 Ho maimbo ny sampantsampan’ ny ony; Ary ny lahin-dranon’ i Egypta hihena ka ho maina; Ny volotara sy ny zozoro halazo;
And the rivers will fail. The streams of its banks will diminish and dry up. The reed and the bulrush will wither away.
7 Ny tany eny amoron’ i Neily sy ny tanimbary rehetra eny amoron’ i Neily samy ho maina sy hanjary vovoka ka tsy ho eo intsony.
The channel of the river will be stripped down to its source, and everything irrigated by it will dry up and wither and be no more.
8 Dia hitomany ny mpaka hazandrano, ary hisaona ny mpamintana rehetra ao Neily, Ary ho reraka ny mpandatsaka harato amin’ ny rano.
And the fishermen will grieve. And all who cast a hook into the river will mourn. And those who cast a net upon the surface of its waters will languish.
9 Ho very fanantenana izay mandraotra rongony amin’ ny fihogo sy izay manenona hariry.
Those who work with linen, combing and weaving fine textiles, will be confounded.
10 Ny andrin’ ny tany ho torotoro, ary ny mpikarama rehetra halahelo.
And its irrigated places will begin to fail, with all those who make pools to take fish.
11 Efa adala mihitsy ny mpanapaka any Zoana; Hevi-poana no avoak’ izay hendry indrindra amin’ ny mpanolotsain’ i Farao; Ahoana no ilazanareo amin’ i Farao hoe: Zanak’ olon-kendry aho sady taranak’ ireo mpanjaka fahagola?
The leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: “I am the son of wise men, the son of the kings of antiquity?”
12 Aiza ary ireo olon-kendrinao ireo? Aoka hanambara aminao izy, ary aoka ho fantany izay nokasain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, hatao amin’ i Egypta.
Where are your wise men now? Let them announce it to you, and let them reveal what the Lord of hosts intends for Egypt.
13 Efa adala ny mpanapaka any Zoana, efa voafitaka ny mpanapaka any Memfisa; Ary efa nampivembena an’ i Egypta ireo fehizoron’ ny fireneny.
The leaders of Tanis have become foolish. The leaders of Memphis have decayed. They have deceived Egypt, the corner of its people.
14 Jehovah efa nampidina fanahy mampandraingiraingy teo Egypta; ka efa nampivembena azy tamin’ ny asany rehetra ireo, dia tahaka ny olona mamo miraingiraingy sady mandoa.
The Lord has mixed a spirit of giddiness into its midst. And they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, like a drunken man who staggers and vomits.
15 Samy tsy hahatontosa ny asany ny Egyptiana, na ny loha na ny rambo, na ny sampan-drofia na ny zozoro.
And there will be no work for Egypt that would produce a head or a tail, one who bows down or one who refrains from bowing down.
16 Amin’ izany andro izany dia ho tahaka ny vehivavy Egypta ka ho toran-kovitra sy ho raiki-tahotra noho ny faninjitr’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ny tànany, izay ahinjiny hamelezany azy.
In that day, Egypt will be like women, and they will be stupefied and fearful before the presence of the shaking hand of the Lord of hosts, the hand which he will move over them.
17 Ary ny tanin’ ny Joda dia ho fahatahoran’ i Egypta, ka na oviana na oviana no misy miresaka izany aminy dia ho raiki-tahotra izy noho ny fikasan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, izay kasainy ny amin’ ny hamelezana azy.
And the land of Judah will be a dread to Egypt. Everyone who thinks about it will be terrified before the presence of the plan of the Lord of hosts, the plan which he has decided concerning them.
18 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy tanana dimy amin’ ny tany Egypta samy hiteny ny fitenin’ i Kanana sy hianiana ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Ny anankiray hatao hoe Ira-haresa.
In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan, and which swear by the Lord of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
19 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy alitara ho an’ i Jehovah eo amin’ ny tany Egypta sy tsangam-bato eo an-tsisiny ho an’ i Jehovah.
In that day, there will be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a monument of the Lord beside its borders.
20 Ary ho famantarana sy vavolombelona ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ao amin’ ny tany Egypta izany; Fa hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah noho ny mpampahory izy, ary haniraka mpamonjy sy mpiaro ho ao aminy Izy ka hamonjy azy.
This shall be a sign and a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they will cry out to the Lord before the face of the tribulation, and he will send them a savior and a defender who will free them.
21 Ary Jehovah hanao izay hahafantaran’ ny Egyptiana Azy, ary ny Egyptiana kosa hahalala an’ i Jehovah amin’ izany andro izany; Dia hanompo Azy amin’ ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy amin’ ny fanatitra hohanina izy ka hivoady amin’ i Jehovah sady hanefa ny voadiny.
And the Lord will be acknowledged by Egypt, and the Egyptians will recognize the Lord in that day, and they will worship him with sacrifices and gifts. And they will make vows to the Lord, and they will fulfill them.
22 Ary Jehovah hamely ny Egyptiana, eny, fa sady hamely Izy no hanasitrana; Dia hiverina ho any amin’ i Jehovah ireo, ka hekeny ny fangatahany, ary hositraniny izy.
And the Lord will strike Egypt with a scourge, and he will heal them. And they will return to the Lord. And he will be placated toward them, and he will heal them.
23 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy lalambe avy any Egypta mankany Asyria, koa ny Asyriana dia hankany Egypta, ary ny Egyptiana kosa hankany Asyria, ary ny Egyptiana sy ny Asyriana hiara-mivavaka.
In that day, there will be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian will enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian will be with the Assyrians, and the Egyptians will serve Assur.
24 Amin’ izany andro izany ny Isiraely no ho fahatelony amin’ i Egypta sy Asyria ho fitahiana eo amin’ ny tany;
In that day, will Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 Fa hotahin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ireo ka hataony hoe: Hotahina anie Egypta oloko, sy Asyria, asan’ ny tanako, ary Isiraely lovako.
which the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands for the Assyrian, but Israel is my inheritance.
