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 Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 Ny lehilahy mahery sy ny mpiady, Ny mpitsara sy ny mpaminany, Ny mpanao fankatovana sy ny loholona,
the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, 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 captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counsellor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4 Ary hanendry ankizilahy madinika ho lehibeny Aho, Ary ny haitraitran-jaza no hanapaka azy.
I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall 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 be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbour. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honourable.
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,
Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
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.
In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler 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 is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
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 look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! 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 that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
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 the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.
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.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 Jehovah mitsangana handahatra Ka miatrika hitsara ny firenena.
The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
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 will enter into judgement with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up 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.
What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
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,
Moreover the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17 Noho izany dia hataon’ ny Tompo feno tako-pery ny tampon-dohan’ ny zanakavavin’ i Ziona, Ary Jehovah hampiseho ny fitanjahany.
therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald.”
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 the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19 Na ny kavina voavola, na ny rojo, na ny fisalobonana makarakara,
the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20 Na ny satroka, na ny rojo parapaingo, na ny fehin-kibo misy haingony, Na ny fitoeran-dranomanitra, na ny ody fanaony ravaka,
the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,
21 Na ny peratra, na ny kavin’ orona,
the signet rings, the nose rings,
22 Na ny akanjo fihaingoana, na ny kapôty, Na ny saly, na ny poketra,
the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23 Na ny fitaratra fizahana, na ny akanjo somizy anatiny, Na ny satroka fihaingoana, na ny lamba fisaronana;
the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the 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.
It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Ny lehilahy ao aminao ho lavon-tsabatra, Ary ny mahery ao aminao ho faty an’ ady;
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Ka dia hitomany sy hisaona ny vavahadiny; Ary ho lao ny tanàna ka hanjokaiky,
Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
