Isaia 31

1 Lozan’ izay midìna any Egypta hitady famonjena sy miantehitra amin’ ny soavaly ary matoky ny kalesy, satria maro ireny, sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly, satria mahery dia mahery ireny, fa tsy manandrandra ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, na mitady an’ i Jehovah.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!

2 Nefa Izy koa dia hendry ka mahatonga loza, ary tsy tsoahany ny teniny; Fa mitsangana Izy hamely ny mpianakavin’ ny mpanao ratsy sy izay manampy ny mpanao meloka.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Fa olona ihany ny Egyptiana fa tsy Andriamanitra; Ary nofo ihany ny soavaliny, fa tsy fanahy. Koa raha ahinjitr’ i Jehovah ny tànany, dia ho tafintohina izay manampy, ary ho potraka izay ampiana, ka samy ho levona avokoa izy roa tonta.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

4 Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Tahaka ny fieron’ ny liona sy ny liona tanora eo amin’ ny rembiny, ka na dia voangona aza ny mpiandry ondry betsaka hamely azy, Tsy matahotra ny feon’ ireo izy, na mandatsa-dremby noho ny fihorakorahany, dia tahaka izany no hidinan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Hiady ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona sy ny havoany.

For thus saith Jehovah unto me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Jehovah of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.

5 Tahaka ny vorona manomba no hiarovan’ i Jehovah, tompon’ ny maro, an’ i Jerosalema, fa sady hiaro no hamonjy Izy, eny, sady hiantra no hanafaka.

As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it].

6 Koa miverena ho amin’ izay efa niodinanareo fatratra, ry zanak’ Isiraely ô.

Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.

7 Fa amin’ izany andro izany dia harian’ ny olona rehetra ny andriamani-bolafotsiny sy ny andriamani-bolamenany, izay fahotana nataon’ ny tananareo.

For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

8 Ary ny Asyriana ho lavon’ ny sabatra izay tsy mba an’ olombelona, eny, sabatra izay tsy mba an’ olombelona no handringanana azy; Dia handositra ny sabatra izy, ary ny zatovony hampanaovina fanompoana,

And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to taskwork.

9 Ary ny mpanjakany ho lasa noho ny fahatahorana, Ary mpanapaka azy hivadi-po noho ny faneva, hoy Jehovah, Izay manana ny afony ao Ziona sy ny fatany fandoroana ao Jerosalema.

And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
