Isaia 22
1 Faminaniana ny amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny Fahitana. Inona re izato manjo anareo, no dia miakatra eny an-tampon-trano avokoa ianareo,
A message about the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem). What's happening? Why has everyone gone up onto the rooftops?
2 Ry ilay be horakoraka, tanàna be tabataba, vohitra miravoravo? Ny faty eo aminao dia tsy mba novonoin-tsabatra, na maty an’ ady.
There are shouts and commotion all over the city with people celebrating. Your dead weren't killed by the sword or in battle.
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 leaders ran away together; they were captured without resistance. All your people trying to escape were captured together, even though they had run a long way 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
That's why I said, “Go away! Let me mourn in peace. Don't insist on comforting me as the daughter of my people is ruined.”
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 the Lord has a day of defeat, of panic and confusion in the Valley of Vision, a day of tearing down walls and crying for help to the mountains.
6 Ary Elama mitondra ny tranon-jana-tsipìka mbamin’ ny kalesy misy olona sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly; Ary Kira manaisotra ny fonon’ ampinga
The Elamites pick up their quivers full of arrows, and prepare their chariots and horsemen, while the people of Kir uncover their shields ready for battle.
7 Izay tsara indrindra amin’ ny lohasahanao dia feno kalesy, ary ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly milahatra eo am-bavahady
Your most productive valleys are now full of enemy chariots; and their cavalry are at your gates!
8 Dia alana ny fisalobonan’ i Joda, ary mijery ny fiadiana ao an-Tranoala ianao amin’ izany andro izany.
Judah's defenses have been stripped away and so at that time you went looking for weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
9 Ary hilanareo fa banga be ihany ny tanànan’ i Davida; Ary mamory ny rano avy amin’ ny kamory ambany ianareo.
You examined the breaks in the walls of the City of David and found there were many. You had water collect in the lower pool.
10 Isainareo ny trano any Jerosalema, ka dia ravanareo ny trano ho enti-manamafy ny manda.
Your reviewed the number of houses in the city and demolished some to provide stone to repair the walls.
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.
You built a reservoir inside the walls for the waters from the old pool, but you did not respect its Maker or think about the One who planned it long ago.
12 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Hiantso fitomaniana sy fioriana sy fiharatana ary fisikinana lamba fisaonana.
At that time the Lord, the Lord Almighty, was calling you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads and wear sackcloth.
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.
Instead, you go on happily partying! You slaughter cattle and sheep so you can have your feasts, eating meat and drinking wine, saying, “Let's eat and drink, because we're going to die tomorrow!”
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.
The Lord Almighty has made this clear to me: “I will not forgive this sin till your dying day, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
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:
This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, told me to do. “Go to Shebna, the palace manager, and give him this message:
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?
‘What are you doing here? Who do you think you are, cutting out a tomb for yourself high up on a hill, carving out for yourself a place to rest?
17 Indro, Jehovah hanipy mafy anao, eny, hofiazany mafy ianao,
Watch out, you “great man”! The Lord is about to grab you and violently toss you aside.
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.
He's going to roll you up into a ball, and throw you far away into a vast country. You will die there, and that's where the chariots you were so proud of will remain. You're a disgrace to your lord's royal family.
19 Ary horoahiko hiala amin’ ny fitoeranao ianao sy haongako hiala amin’ ny raharahanao
I will push you out of office, I will strip you of your position.
20 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hantsoiko kosa Eliakima mpanompoko, zanak’ i Hilkia;
After that I will call for my servant, Eliakim, 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.
I will put your robe and place your sash around him, and I will give your authority to him. He will be a father to the people living in Jerusalem and 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.
I will give him the key to the house of David. What he opens, nobody can shut; what he shuts, nobody can open.
23 Ary hatsatoko toy ny fihantonan-javatra eo amin’ ny fitoerana mafy izy ka ho sezam-boninahitra ho an’ ny mpianakavin-drainy.
I will drive him like a nail hammered securely into a wall. He will bring honor to his 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.
The heavy burden of his father's family will hang on him—all the descendants and the inlaws—all the little containers, bowls and all kinds of jars.
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.
So the time will come, declares the Lord Almighty, when the nail will come out of the wall, even though it was hammered in securely. It will break off and fall down, and everything hanging on it will fall down too. The Lord has spoken.
