< Isaia 2 >
1 Ny teny izay hitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, ny amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema.
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Ary izao no ho tonga any am-parany: Ny tendrombohitra misy ny tranon’ i Jehovah dia haorina eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Ary hasandratra ho avo noho ny havoana; Ary ny jentilisa rehetra hitanjozotra hankany.
And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
3 Eny, maro ny firenena no hiainga ka hanao hoe: Andeha isika hiakatra any an-tendrombohitr’ i Jehovah, Ho any an-tranon’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba, Mba hampianarany antsika ny amin’ ny lalany, Ka handehanantsika amin’ ny atorony; Fa avy any Ziona no hivoahan’ ny lalàna, Ary avy any Jerosalema ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
And gone have many peoples and said, 'Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4 Ary hitsara ny adin’ ny jentilisa Izy Ka hampiaiky firenena maro; Dia hanefy ny sabany ho fangady ireny, Ary ny lefony ho fanetezam-boaloboka; Ny firenena tsy hanainga sabatra hifamely Na hianatra ady intsony
And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.
5 Ry taranak’ i Jakoba, Avia, ary aoka isika handeha amin’ ny fahazavan’ i Jehovah.
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'
6 Fa efa nanary ny taranak’ i Jakoba olonao Hianao, Satria feno ny fanao avy any atsinanana izy Ary efa mpanandro tahaka ny Filistina Sady efa be zana-bahiny.
For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
7 Ary ny taniny dia feno volafotsy sy volamena. Sady tsy hita lany ny hareny; Ary ny taniny dia feno soavaly, Sady tsy hita isa ny kalesiny;
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8 Ny taniny dia feno andriamani-tsi-izy koa; Eo anatrehan’ ny asan’ ny tanany no iankohofany, Dia izay nataon’ ny rantsan-tanany;
And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Koa ny zanak’ olombelona hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny olona haetry, Ary aza mamela ny helony Hianao!
And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
10 Midìra ao amin’ ny vatolampy, Ary miere ao amin’ ny vovoka Noho ny tahotra avy amin’ i Jehovah Sy ny voninahitry ny fahalehibiazany.
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
11 Ny fiandranandran’ ny mason’ ny zanak’ olombelona dia haetry, Ary ny fiavonavonan’ ny olona hatao mitanondrika; Fa Jehovah ihany no hisandratra amin’ izany andro izany.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
12 Fa misy andron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Hitsarana izay avo sy ambony toetra rehetra Ary izay misandratra rehetra, Ka dia haetry ireny,
For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 Dia ny sedera rehetra any Libanona, izay avo sady andrandraina, Sy ny hazo ôka rehetra any Basana
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 Sy ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra Sy ny havoana andrandraina
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 Sy ny tilikambo miringiringy rehetra Sy ny manda mafy rehetra
And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
16 Sy ny sambon’ i Tarsisy rehetra Sy ny tao-zavatra tsara tarehy rehetra;
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Ary ny fireharehan’ ny zanak’ olombelona hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny fiavonavonan’ ny olona haetry; Fa Jehovah ihany no hisandratra amin’ izany andro izany.
And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
18 Ary ny andriamani-tsi-izy dia ho foana avokoa.
And the idols — they completely pass away.
19 Ary hiditra ao amin’ ny zohy sy ny lava-bato ny olona Noho ny tahotra avy amin’ i Jehovah sy ny voninahitry ny fahalehibiazany, Rehefa mitsangana hampihorohoro ny tany Izy.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20 Amin’ izany andro izany dia harian’ ny olona Ho an’ ny voalavo sy ny manavy Ny andriamani-bolafotsiny sy ny andriamani-bolamenany Izay nataony hiankohofany eo anatrehany
In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21 Mba hidirany eo amin’ ny fitriatry ny vatolampy sy eo an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato Noho ny tahotra avy amin’ i Jehovah Sy ny voninahitry ny fahalehibiazany, Rehefa mitsangana hampihorohoro ny tany Izy.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Mitsahara, fa aza mitoky amin’ ny olona; Fa fofonaina foana no eo am-bavorony, Ka hatao zinona izy?
Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
