Isaia 3
1 Fa, indro, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Manaisotra amin’ i Jerosalema sy Joda izay andry sy tohana rehetra: Dia ny mofo sy ny rano rehetra, izay tohan’ aina,
For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
2 Ny lehilahy mahery sy ny mpiady, Ny mpitsara sy ny mpaminany, Ny mpanao fankatovana sy ny loholona,
the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
3 Ny mpifehy ny dimam-polo sy ny manan-kaja, Ny mpanolo-tsaina sy ny mahay zavatra Ary ny mahay ny fiboeriboeriky ny mpanao ody.
the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
4 Ary hanendry ankizilahy madinika ho lehibeny Aho, Ary ny haitraitran-jaza no hanapaka azy.
“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
5 Ary hifanipaka izy samy iray firenena, Dia samy ny namany avy sy ny akaiky azy avy; Ny tovolahy hirehareha amin’ ny anti-panahy, Ary ny tsy manan-daza amin’ ny manan-daza.
The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
6 Raha misy olona angatahin’ ny rahalahiny ao an-tranon-drainy ka ataony hoe: Hianao no manana lamba, koa aoka ho mpanapaka anay, Ary aoka ity faharavana ity ho raharahanao,
A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
7 Dia namaly izy amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Tsy mety ho dokotera aho, Fa ao an-tranoko tsy misy hanina na lamba; Koa tsy azonareo hatao mpanapaka ny olona aho.
On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
8 Fa tafintohina Jerosalema, Ary potraka Joda, satria ny lelany sy ny asany dia samy manohitra an’ i Jehovah Mba hihaika ny mason’ ny voninahiny.
For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
9 Ny fisehon’ ny tarehiny miampanga azy; Ary mampiharihary ny fahotany tahaka an’ i Sodoma izy ka tsy manafina azy. Lozan’ ny fanahiny! Fa mampidi-doza amin’ ny tenany izy.
The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Lazaonareo ny amin’ ny marina fa hahita soa izy, Fa ny vokatry ny asany no hohaniny.
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
11 Lozan’ ny ratsy fanahy! hiharan’ ny ratsy izy, Satria ny valin’ ny nataon’ ny tànany ihany no hanody azy.
Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
12 Ny amin’ ny oloko, dia zaza no mampahory azy, Ary ireo vehivavy no manapaka azy. Ry oloko ô, ny mpitarika anao no mampivily anao Sady mandrava ny lalana alehanao.
Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
13 Jehovah mitsangana handahatra Ka miatrika hitsara ny firenena.
The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.
14 Jehovah miampanga ny loholona sy ny lehiben’ ny olony amin’ ny fitsarana hoe: Hianareo no efa nandevona ny tanim-boaloboka; Ary ao an-tranonareo ny fananan’ ny malahelo izay efa nalaina an-keriny.
The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 Ahoana no hevitrareo no dia hosihosenareo ny oloko, Ary torotoroinareo ny tavan’ ny malahelo? Hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?”
16 Ary hoy koa Jehovah: Satria miavona ireo zanakavavin’ i Ziona ka mandeha mianjonanjona sy manao maso meloka Sady kasikasy fandeha Ary mampikorintsandrintsana ny fehin-tongony,
The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—
17 Noho izany dia hataon’ ny Tompo feno tako-pery ny tampon-dohan’ ny zanakavavin’ i Ziona, Ary Jehovah hampiseho ny fitanjahany.
the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
18 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hesorin’ i Jehovah ny firavaka rehetra, na ny fehin-tongotra, Na ny fehi-loha, na ny sarim-bolan-tsinana,
In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
19 Na ny kavina voavola, na ny rojo, na ny fisalobonana makarakara,
their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
20 Na ny satroka, na ny rojo parapaingo, na ny fehin-kibo misy haingony, Na ny fitoeran-dranomanitra, na ny ody fanaony ravaka,
their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
21 Na ny peratra, na ny kavin’ orona,
their signet rings and nose rings;
22 Na ny akanjo fihaingoana, na ny kapôty, Na ny saly, na ny poketra,
their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
23 Na ny fitaratra fizahana, na ny akanjo somizy anatiny, Na ny satroka fihaingoana, na ny lamba fisaronana;
and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
24 Ary ny manitra hosoloana ny maimbo; Ary ny fehin-kibo tsara hosoloana ny mahazaka; Ary ny volo voavoatra tsara hosoloana ny boriana; Ary ny akanjo miebanebana hosoloana ny lamba fisaonana; Ary ny hatsaran-tarehy hosoloana ny tomboka amin’ ny vy mahamay.
Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
25 Ny lehilahy ao aminao ho lavon-tsabatra, Ary ny mahery ao aminao ho faty an’ ady;
Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
26 Ka dia hitomany sy hisaona ny vavahadiny; Ary ho lao ny tanàna ka hanjokaiky,
And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
