Isaia 24
1 Indro, Jehovah mahafoana ny tany ka mahalao azy ary mampihohoka azy ka manely izay mponina ao aminy.
Look, Yahweh is about to empty the earth, to devastate it, mar its surface, and scatter 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.
It will come about that, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the receiver of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 Hatao foana dia foana ny tany, ary hobaboina dia hobaboina tokoa izy, fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
The earth will be completely devastated and completely stripped; for Yahweh has 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 earth dries up and withers, the world shrivels up and fades away, the prominent people of the earth waste away.
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 earth is polluted by its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken 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 devours the earth, and its inhabitants are found guilty. The inhabitants of the earth burn up, and few people are left.
7 Misaona ny ranom-boaloboka, milofika ny taro-boaloboka, misento avokoa ilay nifaly am-po;
The new wine dries up, the vine withers, all the merry-hearted groan.
8 Mitsahatra ny firavoravoana amin’ ny ampongatapaka, tapitra ny fitabataban’ ny niravoravo; Mitsahatra ny fifaliana amin-dokanga;
The happy sound of the tambourines stops, and the revelry of those who rejoice; the joy of the lyre ceases.
9 Tsy mihira eo am-pisotroan-divay intsony izy, mangidy amin’ izay misotro azy ny toaka;
They no longer drink wine and sing, and the beer is bitter to those who drink it.
10 Rava ny tanana be fikorontanana, mirindrina ny trano rehetra ka tsy azo idiran’ olona;
The city of chaos has been broken down; every house is closed up and empty.
11 Misy fitarainana divay eny an-tsaha, tafalentika toy ny masoandro ny fifaliana rehetra; Voaroaka ny faharavoravoan’ ny tany.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the gladness of the land has disappeared.
12 Fahafoanana ihany no sisa ao an-tanàna, satria rava sady montsamontsana ny vavahady,
In the city is left a desolation, and the gate is broken into a ruin.
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.
For this is how it will be on the whole earth among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, as the gleanings when the grape harvest is done.
14 Ireo dia hanandratra ny feony ka hihoby; Noho ny fahalehibiazan’ i Jehovah dia hiantso mafy eny amin’ ny ranomasina izy hoe:
They will lift up their voices and shout the majesty of Yahweh, and will joyfully 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.
Therefore in the east glorify Yahweh, and in the isles of the sea give glory to the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
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 farthest part of the earth we have heard songs, “Glory to the righteous one!” But I said, “I have wasted away, I have wasted away, woe is me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.”
17 Tahotra sy longoa ary fandrika no mahazo anao, ry mponina amin’ ny tany.
Terror, the pit, and the snare are upon you, inhabitants of the earth.
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.
He who flees from the sound of terror will fall into the pit, and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be caught in the snare. The windows of the heavens will be opened, and the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 Rava dia rava ny tany; Mitresaka dia mitresaka ny tany; Mihorohoro dia mihorohoro ny tany;
The earth will be completely broken, the earth ripped apart; the earth will be violently shaken.
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 will stagger like a drunken man and it will sway back and forth like a hut. Its sin will be heavy on it and it will fall and never rise again.
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.
On that day Yahweh will punish the host of the heaven in the heavens, and the kings of the earth on 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 will be gathered together, prisoners in a pit, and will be shut up in a prison; and after many days they will be punished.
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.
Then the moon will be ashamed, and the sun disgraced, for Yahweh of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his elders in glory.
