Isaia 29

1 Lozan’ i Ariela’, lozan’ i Ariela, Tanàna nitoeran i Davida! Ampio taona ny taona, aoka ho tafatsingeringerina ny andro firavoravoana;

Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.

2 Dia hampahory an’ i Ariela Aho, ka hisy fisentoana sy fitarainana ao aminy; Ary ho tonga Ariela tokoa amiko izy.

And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.

3 Ary hanao fahiranao anao Aho, ka hasiako miaramila hanemitra anao, ary hananganako manda hamelezana anao.

I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.

4 Dia haetry ianao ka hiteny ao amin’ ny tany, ary ao amin’ ny vovoka no hibitsibitsihanao, eny, ny feonao hivoaka avy amin’ ny tany tahaka ny an’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra, ary avy ao amin’ ny vovoka no ikiakiahan’ ny teninao.

You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.

5 Kanefa ny fahavalonao betsaka ho tonga tahaka ny vovoka madinika, ary ny olon-dozabe maro ho tahaka ny akofa indaosina; Eny, ho avy tampoka dia tampoka izany.

But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

6 Avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hihavian’ ny famaliana, dia kotrokorana sy horohoron-tany ary rohondrohona mafy, tadio sy tafio-drivotra ary lelafo mandevona.

you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.

7 Ary ho tahaka ny fahitana eo amin’ ny nofy amin’ ny alina Ireo firenena betsaka rehetra ireo, izay mivory hamely an’ i Ariela, dia izay rehetra mivory hamely azy sy ny mandany ka hampahatahotra azy.

All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,

8 Ary ho tahaka ny olona noana manonofy, fa, indro, mihinana izy; kanjo nony mahatsiaro, dia noana ihany izy; Na ho tahaka ny olona mangetaheta manonofy, fa, indro, misotro izy; kanjo nony mahatsiaro, indro, ana ihany izy, ary ny fanahiny mbola maniry ihany: Dia ho tahaka izany ireo firenena betsaka rehetra ireo Izay mivory hamely ny tendrombohitra Ziona.

as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.

9 Mijanona ianareo, ka mitalanjona, Tampeno ny masonareo, koa aoka ho jamba ianareo! Mamo ireo, nefa tsy tamin’ ny divay; Mivembena izy, nefa tsy tamin’ ny toaka.

Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.

10 Fa Jehovah efa nampidina fanahy mahasondrian-tory ao aminareo, ary efa nakimpiny ny masonareo (dia ny mpaminany izany), ary efa nosaronany ny lohanareo (dia ny mpahita izany).

For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

11 Ary ny fahitana ny amin’ izany rehetra izany raha aminareo dia tahaka ny teny amin’ ny taratasy voaisy tombo-kase, izay atolotra olona mahavaky teny ka atao hoe: Masìna ianao, vakio ity; Fa hoy izy: Tsy azoko vakina, fa efa voaisy tombo-kase izy;

And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

12 Fa raha atolotra izay tsy mahavaky teny kosa izany ka atao hoe: Masìna ianao, vakio ity, dia hoy izy: Tsy mahavaky teny aho.

Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”

13 Ary hoy ny Tompo: Satria manatona Ahy amin’ ny vavany ity firenena ity ary mankalaza Ahy amin’ ny molony, nefa ampanalaviriny Ahy kosa ny fony, ka ny fahatahorany Ahy dia didin’ olombelona ampianarina azy ihany,

Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

14 Dia, indro koa, mbola hanao zava-mahagaga amin’ ity firenena ity Aho, dia zava-mahagaga sy mahatalanjona; Ka ho foana ny fahendrena kendriny, ary tsy ho hita ny fahalalan’ ny mazava sainany.

Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

15 Lozan’ izay manafina lalina ny saina ataony mba tsy ho hitan’ i Jehovah, sady ao amin’ ny maizina ny asany, ka dia hoy izy: Iza no mahita antsika, ary iza no mahalala antsika?

Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

16 Endrey izato fahadalanareo! Moa ny mpanefy tanimanga va no hoheverina ho tahaka ny tanimanga, ka ny natao va hilaza izay nanao azy hoe: Tsy nanao ahy izy? Na ny zavatra voaforona va hilaza izay namorona azy hoe: Tsy manam-pahalalana izy?

You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

17 Tsy vetivety foana va dia hovana ho saha mahavokatra Libanona, Ary ny saha mahavokatra hoheverina ho ala?

In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

18 Amin’ izany andro izany dia ho ren’ ny marenina ny tenin’ ny taratasy, ary na dia ao amin’ ny aizina sy ny aizim-pito aza dia hahita ihany ny mason’ ny jamba.

On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

19 Ny mpandefitra hitombo hafaliana amin’ i Jehovah; Ary ny malahelo ao amin’ ny olona hifaly amin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely,

The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 Fa lasa ny olon-dozabe, tsy ao intsony ny mpaniratsira; Ary fongotra izay rehetra miari-torin-tsaina amin’ ny ratsy,

For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—

21 Dia ireo manameloka olona amin’ ny teny ary mamandrika izay mananatra eo am-bavahady sy mamadika ny marina amin’ ny lainga foana.

those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

22 Koa ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nanavotra an’ i Abrahama: Tsy ho menatra intsony Jakoba, ary tsy hivaloarika intsony ny tavany.

Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

23 Fa raha ny zanany mahita ny asan’ ny tanako ao aminy, Dia hanamasina ny anarako izy, eny, hanamasina ny Iray Masin’ i Jakoba izy ary hangovitra eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24 Ary izay mivily fanahy dia mbola hahazo fahalalana; Ary izay mimonomonona dia mbola hianatra fahendrena.

Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
