Isaia 33
1 Lozanao, ry ilay mandroba, nefa tsy norobaina ianao! Ary mamitaka, nefa tsy nofitahina ianao! Rehefa mitsahatra ny mandrava ianao, dia vao horavana kosa; Ary rehefa mitsahatra ny mamitaka ianao, dia vao hofitahina kosa.
Woe to thee that layest waste, and thou [wast] not laid waste; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to lay waste, thou shalt be wasted; [and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo aminay; Hianao no antenainay; Aoka ho sandrinay isa-maraina ianao sy ho famonjena anay amin’ ny andro fahoriana.
O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Ny feon’ ny fitabatabana no mampandositra ny firenena; Raha misandratra Hianao, dia mipariaka ny jentilisa.
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 Ary ireny handevona ny babonareo tahaka ny fandevon’ ny valala, tahaka ny fifanaretsaky ny kalalao no fifanaretsany eo aminy.
And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 Manerinarina Jehovah, fa mitoetra any amin’ ny avo Izy; Nofenoiny rariny sy fahamarinana Ziona.
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 Ary hisy andro tsy manam-piovana ho anao, eny, haren’ ny famonjena sy ny fahendrena ary ny fahalalana; Ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah no rakitrao.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
7 Indreo, ny lehilahy maheriny mitaraina eny ivelany; Ny iraka nitady fihavanana dia mitomany mafy.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the embassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 Maty ny lalambe; Tsy misy ny mpandeha; Nofoanany ny fanekena; Nalany baraka ny tanàna; Tsy nanaja olona izy.
The highways lie waste, the way-faring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9 Misaona ny tany ka milofika; Menatra Libanona ka malazo; Efa tonga tahaka ny tani-hay Sarôna, Ary manintsana Basana sy Karmela.
The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits].
10 Ankehitriny dia hitsangana Aho, hoy Jehovah; Ankehitriny dia ho any amin’ ny avo Aho; Ankehitriny dia hisandratra Aho.
Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Torontoronina bozaka ianareo ka miteraka vodivary; Ny fofonainareo dia tahaka ny afo handevona anareo.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.
12 Ary ny firenena ho tahaka ny fandoroan-tsokay, eny, ho tahaka ny tsilo notombohina izay mirehitra amin’ ny afo izy.
And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Mihainoa ny amin’ izay efa nataoko, ianareo izay lavitra, ary aoka hahafantatra ny heriko ianareo izay akaiky.
Ye [that are] far off, hear what I have done; and ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might.
14 Raiki-tahotra ny mpanota ao Ziona; Horohoro no nahazo ny mpihatsaravela-tsihy. Iza amintsika no hahatoetra amin’ ny afo mandevona? Iza amintsika moa no hahatoetra amin’ ny lelafo mandrakizay?
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Izay mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinana sady miteny zava-mahitsy, izay tsy mety mandray harena amin’ ny fanaovana an-keriny fa manifikifika ny tanany mba tsy handray kolikoly, izay manentsin-tadiny mba tsy handrenesany ny amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà sady manakimpy ny masony mba tsy hahita ny ratsy;
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16 Izy no honina ao amin’ ny avo; Ny fitoerana avony dia ny fiarovana any amin’ ny harambato; Izay hohaniny dia homena azy, ary ny rano hosotroiny tsy ho diso.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defense [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
17 Ny masonao hahita ny mpanjaka amin’ ny hatsaran-tarehiny sady hahatsinjo tany malalaka dia malalaka.
Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Hotsaroan’ ny fonao ilay nahatahotra: Aiza ny mpanoratra? Aiza ny mpandanja? Aiza ny mpanisa ny tilikambo?
Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?
19 Ny firenena misetaseta dia tsy ho hitanao intsony, dia ilay olona miboediboedi-piteny ka tsy fantatra, na ny lela mikodedidedy ka tsy azo.
Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand.
20 Tsiniovy Ziona, dia ilay tanàna fihaonantsika tamin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana; Ny masonao hahita an’ i Jerosalema ho fonenana mandry fahizay, dia lay izay tsy hafindra, ny tsimatra aminy tsy hongotana mandrakizay, ary tsy hisy hotapahina ny kofehiny.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.
21 Fa Jehovah dia mahery ho antsika any, tany be ony sy lahin-drano lehibe any, nefa sy halehan’ ny sambo voizina, na hovakin’ ny sambo lehibe.
But there the glorious LORD [will be] to us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.
22 Fa Jehovah no Mpitsara antsika; Jehovah no mpanome lalàna antsika; Jehovah no mpanjakantsika; Izy no hamonjy antsika.
For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
23 Mivaha ny mahazakan-tsambonao; Tsy mahahazona mafy ny fiorenan’ andry izy, na mahavelatra ny lay; Fa amin’ izay kosa dia hozaraina ny zavatra be voababo; Na dia ny mandringa aza dia mba hahazo babo ihany.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 Tsy hisy amin’ ny mponina ao hilaza hoe: Marary aho; Ny olona izay mitoetra ao dia voavela heloka.
And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
