Isaia 32
1 Indro, fa araka ny fahamarinana no hanjakan’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny lehibe hanaraka araka ny rariny.
For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with 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 hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
3 Ary tsy hikimpy ny mason’ izay mahita, ary ny sofin’ izay mandre dia hihaino.
And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.
4 Ny fon’ izay maimaika hahazo fahalalana, ary ny lelan’ izay mikodedidedy hahay miteny mahitsy.
And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
5 Ny adala tsy holazaina intsony hoe mitoetr’ andriana, ary ny mpifetsy tsy holazaina hoe mahafoy be.
And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and your servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
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 fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
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;
For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.
8 Fa ny mitoetr’ andriana kosa dia mamoron-tsaina araka izay mahamendrika andriana, ary izay mahamendrika andriana no ifikirany.
But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.
9 Mitsangàna, ry vehivavy miadana, ka mandrenesa ny feoko; Ry zazavavy matokitoky foana, mihainoa ny teniko.
Rise up, you rich women, and hear my voice; you confident daughters, listen to my words.
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
Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
11 Mangovita, ry vehivavy miadana, mangorohoroa, ry vehivavy matokitoky foana; Endaho ny akanjonao, ka mitanjaha, ary misikìna lamba fisaonana.
Be amazed, be pained, you confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
12 Miteha-tratra izy, fa malahelo ny saha nahafinaritra sy ny voaloboka vokatra.
and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
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;
[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.
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,
[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
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 shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.
16 Ary hitoetra any an-efitra ny rariny, Ary ny fahamarinana honina ao amin’ ny saha mahavokatra.
Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
17 Ny asan’ ny fahamarinana ho fiadanana; Ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana dia ho fiadanana sy fahatokiana mandrakizay;
And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident 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 his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
19 Nefa hilatsaka ny havandra, rehefa aripaka ny ala, ary halamaka dia halamaka ny tanàna.
And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
20 Sambatra izay mamafy eny amoron’ ny rano rehetra sady mampiriaria ny omby sy ny boriky.
Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
