Isaia 32

1 Indro, fa araka ny fahamarinana no hanjakan’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny lehibe hanaraka araka ny rariny.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

2 Ary hisy lehilahy ho fierena amin’ ny rivotra sy ho fialofana amin’ ny ranonoram-baratra; Ho ranovelona ao amin’ ny tany karankaina izy, ho alo-batolampy lehibe amin’ ny tany mahana.

And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

3 Ary tsy hikimpy ny mason’ izay mahita, ary ny sofin’ izay mandre dia hihaino.

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken;

4 Ny fon’ izay maimaika hahazo fahalalana, ary ny lelan’ izay mikodedidedy hahay miteny mahitsy.

and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

5 Ny adala tsy holazaina intsony hoe mitoetr’ andriana, ary ny mpifetsy tsy holazaina hoe mahafoy be.

The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:

6 Fa ny adala mbola miteny fahadalana ihany, ary ny fony mamoron-keloka, mba hanaovany fihatsaram-belatsihy sy hitenenany hevi-diso ny amin’ i Jehovah ary hanaovany izay tsy hahazoan’ ny noana hanina sy izay tsy hahazoan’ ny mangetaheta rano hosotroina.

for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 Ary ratsy ny hafetsen’ ny mpifetsy; Mamoron-tsain-dratsy izy hanimbany ny ory amin’ ny teny lainga, na dia miteny manan-drariny aza ny malahelo;

The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

8 Fa ny mitoetr’ andriana kosa dia mamoron-tsaina araka izay mahamendrika andriana, ary izay mahamendrika andriana no ifikirany.

But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.

9 Mitsangàna, ry vehivavy miadana, ka mandrenesa ny feoko; Ry zazavavy matokitoky foana, mihainoa ny teniko.

Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.

10 Raha afaka herintaona mahery dia ho raiki-tahotra ianareo, ry vehivavy matokitoky foana; Fa hanjahitra ny taom-piotazam-boaloboka, ary tsy hisy ny fanangonam-boankazo

In a year and [some] days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.

11 Mangovita, ry vehivavy miadana, mangorohoroa, ry vehivavy matokitoky foana; Endaho ny akanjonao, ka mitanjaha, ary misikìna lamba fisaonana.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins!

12 Miteha-tratra izy, fa malahelo ny saha nahafinaritra sy ny voaloboka vokatra.

They shall smite on the breasts [in lamentation] for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards.

13 Ho rakotry ny tsilo sy ny hery ny tanin’ ny oloko, eny, na dia ny ao amin’ ny trano mahafaly rehetra ao an-tanàna ravoravo aza;

Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

14 Fa ho foana ny lapan’ ny mpanjaka; Hitsahatra ny fihorikoriky ny tanàna; Ofela sy ny tilikambo fitazanana ho tonga naman’ ny zohy ho mandrakizay, dia fikarenjen’ ny boriki-dia sy fiandrasana ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy,

For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

15 Mandra-pandatsaka ny fanahy avy amin’ ny avo ho amintsika, ka ny efitra ho tonga saha mahavokatra, ary ny saha mahavokatra hoheverina ho ala.

until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

16 Ary hitoetra any an-efitra ny rariny, Ary ny fahamarinana honina ao amin’ ny saha mahavokatra.

And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field.

17 Ny asan’ ny fahamarinana ho fiadanana; Ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana dia ho fiadanana sy fahatokiana mandrakizay;

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.

18 Ary ny oloko hitoetra ao amin’ ny fonenana mandry fahizay sy ao amin’ ny fitoerana mahatoky ary ao amin’ ny fialan-tsasatra feno fiadanam-po;

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.

19 Nefa hilatsaka ny havandra, rehefa aripaka ny ala, ary halamaka dia halamaka ny tanàna.

And it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

20 Sambatra izay mamafy eny amoron’ ny rano rehetra sady mampiriaria ny omby sy ny boriky.

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
