Isaia 24
1 Indro, Jehovah mahafoana ny tany ka mahalao azy ary mampihohoka azy ka manely izay mponina ao aminy.
Behold, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth its inhabitants.
2 Koa ho sahala ihany ny hanjo ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka, ny tompolahy sy ny mpanompolahiny, ny tompovavy sy ny mpanompovaviny, ny mpivarotra sy ny mpividy, ny mpampisambotra sy ny mpisambotra, ny mpampanàna vola sy ny mpanana vola.
As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
3 Hatao foana dia foana ny tany, ary hobaboina dia hobaboina tokoa izy, fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Misaona sy malazo ny tany; Milofika sy malazo izao tontolo izao; Milofika ny lehibe indrindra amin’ ny olona etỳ an-tany.
The land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
5 Ary ny tany dia efa voavetavetan’ ny mponina ao aminy, satria nandika ny lalàna sy nanota ny didy izy ary nivadika ny fanekena mandrakizay.
The land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke the everlasting covenant.
6 Ary noho izany dia ozona no mandevona ny tany, ary ny mponina ao dia valiana noho ny helony, sady voadotra ny mponina amin’ ny tany ka dia olona vitsy foana no sisa ao.
Therefore a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
7 Misaona ny ranom-boaloboka, milofika ny taro-boaloboka, misento avokoa ilay nifaly am-po;
The new wine mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart do sigh;
8 Mitsahatra ny firavoravoana amin’ ny ampongatapaka, tapitra ny fitabataban’ ny niravoravo; Mitsahatra ny fifaliana amin-dokanga;
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth; The noise of them that rejoice is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Tsy mihira eo am-pisotroan-divay intsony izy, mangidy amin’ izay misotro azy ny toaka;
No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
10 Rava ny tanana be fikorontanana, mirindrina ny trano rehetra ka tsy azo idiran’ olona;
The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
11 Misy fitarainana divay eny an-tsaha, tafalentika toy ny masoandro ny fifaliana rehetra; Voaroaka ny faharavoravoan’ ny tany.
There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
12 Fahafoanana ihany no sisa ao an-tanàna, satria rava sady montsamontsana ny vavahady,
Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
13 Fa ao amin’ ny tany, ao amin’ ny olona, dia hisy toy ny amin’ ny fikapohana hazo oliva sy ny fitsimpontsimponam-boaloboka, rehefa tapitra ny andro fiotazana azy.
Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive-tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is ended.
14 Ireo dia hanandratra ny feony ka hihoby; Noho ny fahalehibiazan’ i Jehovah dia hiantso mafy eny amin’ ny ranomasina izy hoe:
These shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall shout from the sea.
15 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah any amin’ ny tany atsinanana, dia ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, any amin’ ny amoron-dranomasina.
Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea!
16 Hatrany am-paran’ ny tany no nandrenesanay hira hoe: Voninahitra ho an’ ny marina. Fa hoy izaho: Indrisy izato halevonako! Indrisy ity halevonako! Ny mpamitaka dia mamitaka; Eny, ny mpamitaka dia mamitaka fatratra.
From the end of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
17 Tahotra sy longoa ary fandrika no mahazo anao, ry mponina amin’ ny tany.
The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
18 Ary izay mandositra noho ny fandrenesana ny tahotra dia ho latsaka any an-davaka; Ary izay miakatra avy ao anatin’ ny lavaka dia ho voan’ ny fandrika; Fa misy varavarana mivoha any amin’ ny avo, ary mihorohoro ny fanorenan’ ny tany.
Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Rava dia rava ny tany; Mitresaka dia mitresaka ny tany; Mihorohoro dia mihorohoro ny tany;
The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
20 Mivembena dia mivenbena tahaka ny mamo ny tany ka mitsingevaheva toy ny fandriana mihantona; ary mitambesatra aminy ny fahadisoany, dia potraka izy ka tsy ho tafarina intsony.
The earth reeleth like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
21 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia any an-danitra no hamalian’ i Jehovah ny antokon’ ny lanitra, ary etỳ an-tany kosa ny mpanjakan’ ny tany.
In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are on high, And the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 Dia hangonina ao an-davaka tahaka ny mpifatotra ireny ka hohidiana ao an-trano-maizina, ary rehefa afaka andro maro, dia hovangiana ihany izy.
They shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they be visited.
23 Dia hivoara-mena ny volana, ary hivaloarika ny masoandro, fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no Mpanjaka ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona sy any Jerosalema, ary eo anatrehan’ ny loholony dia misy voninahitra.
The moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
