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”, says Yahweh, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, 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.
who set out to go down into Egypt without asking for my advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge 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 the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Fa tonga any Zoana ireo lehibeny, ary tonga any Hanesa ny irany.
For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
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 shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a 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 burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
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!
For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits 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 tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9 Fa firenena maditra izy, zaza mandainga, dia zaza izay tsy mety mihaino ny lalàn’ i Jehovah,
For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear Yahweh’s law;
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 tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11 Mialà amin’ ny lalana, mivilia amin’ ny aleha; Atsaharo ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely tsy ho eo anoloanay intsony.
Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
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 the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
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 this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
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.
He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
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 said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
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.
but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will 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 will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner 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.
Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who 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 the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
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;
Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your 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 when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
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.
You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
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;
He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large 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 donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
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.
There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the 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.
Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
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, Yahweh’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation. His tongue is as 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.
His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
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;
You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.
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.
Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
31 Fa ny feon’ i Jehovah dia haharaiki-tahotra ny Asyriana; Hasiany amin’ ny tsorakazo ireo.
For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his 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.
Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
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 his burning place has long been ready. Yes, it is prepared for the king. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
