Isaia 27
1 Amin’ izany andro izany ny sabatr’ i Jehovah, izay mafy sady lehibe no mahery, no ho entiny mamaly ny leviatana, dia ilay menarana mandositra, sy ny leviatana, dia ilay menarana miforoporotra, Ary hovonoiny ilay dragona ao an-dranomasina.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 Amin’ izany andro izany no hihiranareo ny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka ahazoana divay mahery hoe:
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Izaho Jehovah no mpiaro io; Isaky ny indray mipi-maso no andemako azy, Fandrao misy manimba azy; Na andro na alina dia miaro azy aho.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Tsy misy fahatezerana ato amiko; Enga anie ka hisy hery sy tsilo eto anatrehako hiadiako. Dia hiroatako ireo ka hodorako avokoa!
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Fa raha tsy izany, dia aoka hifikitra amin’ ny heriko kosa izy ka hihavana amiko; Eny, aoka hihavana amiko izy.
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Amin’ ny andro ho avy dia hamaka tsara Jakoba; Ary Isiraely hamony sy hitsimoka ka hameno izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahavokarany.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Moa tahaka ny namelezana izay namely azy va no moa namelezany azy koa? Ary tahaka ny namonoana izay novonoiny va no mba namonoana azy koa?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Tamin’ ny nandroahany azy dia voafetra no niadiany taminy; Nokororohiny tamin’ ny rivony mahery izy tamin’ ny andron’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Ka izao no hamelana ny helok’ i Jakoba, Ary izao ihany no vokatry ny nanesorana ny fahotany, dia amin’ ny anaovany ny vato rehetra amin’ ny alitara ho tahaka ny vato sokay voatorotoro, ary ny Aseraha sy ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro dia tsy hitsangana intsony.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Fa ho foana ny tanàna mimanda, ka dia ho fonenana afoy sy ilaozana tahaka ny efitra: Ao no hihinanan’ ny zanak’ omby, ary ao no handriany sy handaniany ny rantsan-kazony.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Raha malazo ny rantsany, dia hotapatapahina, ka ho avy ny vehivavy hitaina azy, satria firenena tsy manam-pahalalana izy, dia tsy hiantra azy ny Mpanao azy, ary tsy hamindra fo aminy ny Mpamorona azy.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fampihintsanana ataon’ i Jehovah hatramin’ ny ony mandriaka ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta; Ary ianareo samy hotsimponina tsirairay, ry Zanak’ Isiraely.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 Ary amin’ izany andro izany koa no hitsofana anjomara lehibe, dia ho avy izay very tany amin’ ny tany Asyria sy izay efa voaroaka tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra masìna any Jerosalema.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
