Isaia 22
1 Faminaniana ny amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny Fahitana. Inona re izato manjo anareo, no dia miakatra eny an-tampon-trano avokoa ianareo,
The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
2 Ry ilay be horakoraka, tanàna be tabataba, vohitra miravoravo? Ny faty eo aminao dia tsy mba novonoin-tsabatra, na maty an’ ady.
You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
3 Niara-nandositra ny lehibenao, nafatotra tsy amin-tsipìka izy; Izay rehetra hita tao aminao dia niara-nafatotra, na dia nitady handositra lavitra aza.
All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
4 Koa izany no anaovako hoe: Mihodìna tsy hijery ahy, fa hitomany mafy dia mafy aho; Aza dia fatra-pampionona ahy noho ny fandringanana ny oloko zanakavavy
For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
5 Fa ao amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny fahitana dia misy andron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, andro fitabatabana sy fanosihosena sy fahaverezan-kevitra, ary fandravana ny manda sy fidradradradrana manako hatrany an-tendrombohitra
For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
6 Ary Elama mitondra ny tranon-jana-tsipìka mbamin’ ny kalesy misy olona sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly; Ary Kira manaisotra ny fonon’ ampinga
And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
7 Izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny lohasahanao dia feno kalesy, ary ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly milahatra eo am-bavahady
And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
8 Dia alana ny fisalobonan’ i Joda, ary mijery ny fiadiana ao an-Tranoala ianao amin’ izany andro izany.
He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
9 Ary hilanareo fa banga be ihany ny tanànan’ i Davida; Ary mamory ny rano avy amin’ ny kamory ambany ianareo.
And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Isainareo ny trano any Jerosalema, ka dia ravanareo ny trano ho enti-manamafy ny manda.
And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
11 Mihady lavaka famorian-drano eo anelanelan’ ny manda roa ianareo halenan ny rano avy amin’ ny kamory ela; Kanefa tsy mijery Izay efa nanomana izao zavatra izao ianareo, na mahita Izay nikasa azy hatry ny fony ela.
And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
12 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Hiantso fitomaniana sy fioriana sy fiharatana ary fisikinana lamba fisaonana.
And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
13 Kanjo he izato hafaliana sy halavoravoana! Sy famonoana omby sy ondry aman’ osy ary fihinanan-kena sy fisotroan-divay! Aoka isika hihinana sy hisotro, fa rahampitso dia ho faty.
But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
14 Dia nambaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, teo an-tsofiko izao: Tsy havela mihitsy ambara-pahafatinareo izao helokareo izao, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
15 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Andeha mankao amin’ ilay mpanolo-tsaina io, dia ao amin’ i Sebna, lehiben’ ny ao an-dapa, ka ataovy hoe:
The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
16 Manao inona etỳ ianao, ary inonao moa no etỳ, No manao fasana etỳ ianao, dia manao fasana ho anao etỳ amin’ ny hantsana sy mandoaka fonenana ho anao etỳ amin’ ny harambato?
Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
17 Indro, Jehovah hanipy mafy anao, eny, hofiazany mafy ianao,
See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
18 Dia hovolavolainy toy ny kodiarana ka hahodiadiany ho any amin’ ny tany malalaka; Dia any no hahafaty anao, ary ho any koa ny kalesin’ ny voninahitrao ry ilay henatry ny mpianakavin’ ny tomponao.
Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
19 Ary horoahiko hiala amin’ ny fitoeranao ianao sy haongako hiala amin’ ny raharahanao
And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
20 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hantsoiko kosa Eliakima mpanompoko, zanak’ i Hilkia;
And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
21 Ary hampiakanjoiko azy ny akanjonao, sady hosikinako amin’ ny fehin-kibonao izy; Ka dia hatolotro eo an-tànany ny fanapahanao, ary dia ho tonga rain’ ny mponina eto Jerosalema sy ny taranak’ i Joda izy.
And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
22 Ary hapetrako eo an-tsorony ny fanala hidin’ ny tranon’ i Davida; Dia hamoha izy, ka tsy hisy handrindrina; Ary handrindrina izy, ka tsy hisy hamoha.
And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
23 Ary hatsatoko toy ny fihantonan-javatra eo amin’ ny fitoerana mafy izy ka ho sezam-boninahitra ho an’ ny mpianakavin-drainy.
And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
24 Ary hahantona eo aminy ny havesatry ny voninahitry ny mpianakavin-drainy rehetra, izay zanaka sy tera-drainy rehetra, dia ny fanaka madinita rehetra hatramin’ ny lovia ka hatramin’ ny siny samy hafa rehetra.
And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
25 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Dia hiala ilay fihantonan-javatra voatsatoka teo amin’ ny fitoerana mafy; Eny, hokapaina izy ka hianjera, dia ho simba ny entana izay nihantona teo aminy; Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
