< 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 YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Amin’ izany andro izany no hihiranareo ny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka ahazoana divay mahery hoe:
In that day respond to her, “A desirable 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, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
4 Tsy misy fahatezerana ato amiko; Enga anie ka hisy hery sy tsilo eto anatrehako hiadiako. Dia hiroatako ireo ka hodorako avokoa!
Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5 Fa raha tsy izany, dia aoka hifikitra amin’ ny heriko kosa izy ka hihavana amiko; Eny, aoka hihavana amiko izy.
Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes 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.
He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
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 He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
8 Tamin’ ny nandroahany azy dia voafetra no niadiany taminy; Nokororohiny tamin’ ny rivony mahery izy tamin’ ny andron’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.
In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
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 the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
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 [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
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.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
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.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
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 it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
