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 with equity.
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.
Every one of them shall be a hiding-place from the wind, And a shelter from the tempest; As streams of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 Ary tsy hikimpy ny mason’ izay mahita, ary ny sofin’ izay mandre dia hihaino.
The eyes of them that see shall no more be blind, And the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 Ny fon’ izay maimaika hahazo fahalalana, ary ny lelan’ izay mikodedidedy hahay miteny mahitsy.
The heart of the rash shall gain wisdom, And the tongue of the stammerer learn to speak plainly.
5 Ny adala tsy holazaina intsony hoe mitoetr’ andriana, ary ny mpifetsy tsy holazaina hoe mahafoy be.
The vile shall no more be called liberal, Nor the niggard 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 will still utter villany, And his heart will devise iniquity; He will practise deception, and speak impiety against God; He will take away the food of the hungry, And deprive the thirsty of drink.
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 niggard are evil; He plotteth mischievous devices, To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the cause of the needy is just.
8 Fa ny mitoetr’ andriana kosa dia mamoron-tsaina araka izay mahamendrika andriana, ary izay mahamendrika andriana no ifikirany.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things, And in liberal things will he persevere.
9 Mitsangàna, ry vehivavy miadana, ka mandrenesa ny feoko; Ry zazavavy matokitoky foana, mihainoa ny teniko.
Arise, hear my voice, ye women that are at ease! Give ear to my speech, ye careless daughters!
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
One year more, and ye shall tremble, ye careless women! For the vintage shall fail; the harvest shall not come.
11 Mangovita, ry vehivavy miadana, mangorohoroa, ry vehivavy matokitoky foana; Endaho ny akanjonao, ka mitanjaha, ary misikìna lamba fisaonana.
Tremble, O ye that are at ease! Be in dismay, ye careless ones! Strip you, make you bare, gird ye sackcloth upon your loins!
12 Miteha-tratra izy, fa malahelo ny saha nahafinaritra sy ny voaloboka vokatra.
They shall smite themselves on their breasts, On account of the pleasant fields, On account of the fruitful 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;
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; 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 forsaken; The tumult of the city shall be solitary; The fortified hill and the tower shall be dens forever; The joy of wild-asses, the 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 from on high be poured upon us, And the wilderness become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed a forest.
16 Ary hitoetra any an-efitra ny rariny, Ary ny fahamarinana honina ao amin’ ny saha mahavokatra.
Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness in the fruitful field.
17 Ny asan’ ny fahamarinana ho fiadanana; Ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana dia ho fiadanana sy fahatokiana mandrakizay;
And the effect of righteousness shall be peace, And the fruit of righteousness quiet and security forever.
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;
Then shall my people dwell in peaceful habitations, In secure dwellings, in quiet resting-places.
19 Nefa hilatsaka ny havandra, rehefa aripaka ny ala, ary halamaka dia halamaka ny tanàna.
But the hail shall descend, and the forest shall fall; And the city shall be brought very low.
20 Sambatra izay mamafy eny amoron’ ny rano rehetra sady mampiriaria ny omby sy ny boriky.
Happy ye who sow beside all waters; Who send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass!
