Isaia 30
1 Lozan’ ny zaza maditra, izay maka saina, nefa tsy avy amiko, hoy Jehovah, ary manao fanekena, nefa tsy avy amin’ ny Fanahiko, mba hanampy ota amin’ ny ota,
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to sin:
2 Dia izay mandeha hidina any Egypta, nefa tsy nanadina tamin’ ny vavako, handositra ho any amin’ ny fiarovana mafin’ i Farao sy hialokaloka ao amin’ ny alokalok’ i Egypta.
That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Kanjo ho tonga henatra ho azy ny fiarovana mafin’ i Farao, ary ho fanalam-baraka azy ny fialokalofany ao amin’ ny alokalok’ i Egypta.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
4 Fa tonga any Zoana ireo lehibeny, ary tonga any Hanesa ny irany.
For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
5 Izy rehetra dia samy hahazo henatra noho ny amin’ ny firenena tsy mahasoa azy, dia izay tsy mahavonjy na mahasoa, fa tonga henatra sy latsa kosa.
They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a reproach.
6 Faminaniana ny amin’ ny behemota any amin’ ny tany atsimo. Any amin’ ny tany mampahory sy mahaporiporitra, izay ihavian’ ny liom-bavy sy ny lion-dahy ary ny menarana sy ny menaran’ afo manidina, no nitondrany ny hareny teny an-damosin’ ny boriky tanora ary ny fananany teo amin’ ny trafon’ ny rameva ho any amin’ ny firenena tsy mahasoa azy.
The doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
7 Nefa zava-poana sy tsinontsinona ny famonjen’ ny Egyptiana; Koa izany no nanaovako azy hoe: Ilay be rehaka tsy mety manao na inona na inona!
And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting still.
8 Mandehana ankehitriny soraty amin’ ny fàfana eo anatrehany izany, ary soraty amin’ ny taratasy mba haharitra amin’ ny andro any aoriana mandrakizay doria izany.
Now go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
9 Fa firenena maditra izy, zaza mandainga, dia zaza izay tsy mety mihaino ny lalàn’ i Jehovah,
For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Izay manao amin’ ny mpahita hoe: Aza mahita, ary amin’ ny mpaminany: Aza maminany zavatra marina aminay: Manaova vava malefaka aminay, maminania fitaka,
Who have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
11 Mialà amin’ ny lalana, mivilia amin’ ny aleha; Atsaharo ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely tsy ho eo anoloanay intsony.
Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One of Israel.
12 Koa izao no lazain’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Satria mandà izany teny izany ianareo ary matoky ny fanaovana an-keriny sy ny fiolakolahana ka miankina amin’ izany,
Therefore thus hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
13 Dia ho aminareo ity heloka ity, tahaka izay mivava efa mila hianjera sy izay mibohitra amin’ ny manda avo, ka ho tampoka dia tampoka no haharavany.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
14 Ary hovakivakina izy tahaka ny fahavakivakin’ ny vilanin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga, raha montsamontsaniny ka tsy itondrany roa; Koa rehefa montsamontsana izy, dia tsy hisy vakiny ho azo atao fangalana afo ao am-patana, na ho azo atao fangalan-drano ao an-davaka famorian-drano aza.
And he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.
15 Fa izao no lazain’ ny Tompo, dia Jehovah, ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Amin’ ny fiverenana sy ny fitsaharana no hamonjena anareo, amin’ ny fanginana sy ny fahatokiana no hisian’ ny herinareo; Nefa tsy nety ianareo;
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
16 Fa hoy kosa ianareo: Tsia, fa handositra mitaingin-tsoavaly izahay; Koa noho izany dia handositra tokoa ianareo; Ary hoy ianareo: Hitaingina ny faingan-tongotra izahay; Ka dia ho faingan-tongotra koa ny manenjika anareo.
And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers be swift.
17 Ny arivo handositra, raha rahonan’ ny anankiray, eny, handositra ianareo, raha rahonan’ ny dimy, Mandra-pahatongan’ ny sisa aminareo ho tahaka ny to-kazo avo any an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra sy tahaka ny faneva any amin’ ny havoana.
One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign on a hill.
18 Koa Jehovah dia mbola hiandry mandra-pamindrany fo aminareo, ary mbola hitoetra any amin’ ny avo Izy mandra-piantrany anareo, fa Andriamanitry ny fahamarinana Jehovah; Sambatra izay rehetra miandry Azy.
And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that wait for him.
19 Fa ianao, ry firenena mitoetra ao Ziona any Jerosalema, dia tsy hitomany intsony; Fa hamindra fo aminao tokoa Izy, raha reny ny fitarainanao; Eny, raha vao reny izany, dia hamaly anao Izy.
For O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth thee.
20 Ary homen’ ny Tompo mofo fahoriana sy ny rano fahalahelovana ianao; Ary tsy hiery intsony ny mpampianatra anao; Ny masonao hahita ny mpampianatra anao;
And the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 Fa na mivily ho amin’ ny ankavanana ianao, na mivily ho amin’ ny ankavia, ny sofinao dia handre teny ao ivohonao manao hoe: Ity no lalana, ka andehano.
And thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 Ary holotoinao ny takela-bolafotsy voapetaka amin’ ny sampinao voasokitra sy ny takela-bolamena voapetaka amin’ ny sampinao an-idina, ka harianao tahaka ny lamba maloto izany; Mialà amiko! no teny hataonao aminy.
And ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
23 Ary dia hanome ranonorana ho an’ ny voa nafafinao any an-tsaha Izy, sy mofo vokatry ny tany sady tsara no vokatra; Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny ombinao dia hihinana eny amin’ ny tany malalaka;
Then will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
24 Ny omby sy ny boriky tanora, izay miasa ny tany, dia hihinana vilona voaisy sira, izay voatsikerakera amin’ ny sahiratsy sy ny fikororohana.
The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 Ary any amin’ ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy ny havoana andrandraina rehetra dia hisy ony sy ranovelona amin’ ny andro lehibe famonoana, dia amin’ ny andro hianjeran’ ny tilikambo.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers fall.
26 Ary ny fahazavan’ ny volana dia ho tahaka ny fahazavan’ ny masoandro, ary ny fahazavan’ ny masoandro dia ho avy fito heny, ka ho tahaka ny fahazavan’ ny hafitoana, Amin’ ny andro hamehezan’ i Jehovah ny fahatorotoroan’ ny olony sy hanasitranany ny fery tamin’ ny namelezana azy.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise of their wound.
27 Indro, avy any lavitra any ny anaran’ i Jehovah, mirehitra amin’ ny fahatezerany Izy Sady midonaka amin’ ny setroka be; Ny molony dia feno fahatezerana, ary ny lelany dia tahaka ny afo mandevona;
Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
28 Ary ny fofonainy tahaka ny riaka manafotra havozona, hanasivana ny firenena amin’ ny sivana fandevonana, ary hisy lamboridy mampivily eo amin’ ny valanoranon’ ny olona.
And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.
29 Ary ny hira hataonao dia ho tahaka ny amin’ ny alina fitandremana ny andro firavoravoana, ary ny hafalian’ ny fo dia ho tahaka ny olona mandeha omban’ ny feon-tsodina ho any an-tendrombohitr’ i Jehovah, dia any amin’ ny Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely;
[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Ary Jehovah hanandratra ny feon’ ny fiandrianany sy hampiseho ny fiantefan’ ny sandriny amin’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerana sy ny lelafo mandevona sy ny ranonoram-baratra sy ny orana mifafy ary ny havandra vaventy.
And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.
31 Fa ny feon’ i Jehovah dia haharaiki-tahotra ny Asyriana; Hasiany amin’ ny tsorakazo ireo.
For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.
32 Ary na aiza na aiza no amelezan’ ny tsorakazo voatendry, izay amelin’ i Jehovah azy, dia harahina ampongatapaka sy lokanga izany; Ary amin’ ny ady hamelezany mafy no hiadiany aminy.
And at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.
33 Fa efa voavoatra fahataloha Tofeta; Eny, efa nataony vonona ho an’ ny mpanjaka izany; Efa nataony lalina sady malalaka izy; Ny antontany dia misy afo sy kitay betsaka; Ary ny fofonain’ i Jehovah, izay tahaka ny renirano solifara, no mampirehitra azy.
For already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
