< Isaia 34 >
1 Manatona, ianareo jentilisa, mba handre; Ary mihainoa, ianareo firenena; Aoka handre ny tany sy ny ao aminy rehetra, Izao tontolo izao sy ny vokatra rehetra avy aminy.
Come near, ye Gentiles, and hear, and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it.
2 Fa Jehovah dia tezitra amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra, ary mirehitra amin’ ny miaramilany rehetra ny fahatezerany; Efa nodidiany haringana ireo ary natolony hovonoina.
For the indignation of the Lord if upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them, and delivered them to slaughter.
3 Ary izay voavono amin’ ireo dia hariana, ka hamofona ny hamaimbon’ ny fatiny, ary ny tendrombohitra hiempo azon’ ny ràny.
Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a slink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 Izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra dia ho levona, Ary ny lanitra hahorona tahaka ny fangorona taratasy; Ary ny eny aminy rehetra dia halazo tahaka ny fahalazon’ ny ravina mihintsana avy amin’ ny voaloboka, ary tahaka ny ravina malazo mihintsana avy amin’ ny aviavy.
And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine, and from the fig tree.
5 Fa ny sabatro dia mamon-drà any amin’ ny lanitra; Indro, hidina hihatra amin’ i Edoma iny sy amin’ ny firenena voatendriko haringana, mba ho fitsarana azy.
For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment.
6 Ny sabatr’ i Jehovah feno rà, eny, mihosi-menaka amin’ ny matavy sy amin’ ny ran’ ny zanak’ ondry sy ny osilahy ary amin’ ny fonomboan’ ny ondrilahy; Fa Jehovah mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ao Bozra Ary mahafaty be ao amin’ ny tany Edoma.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Ary ny ombimanga miaraka aripaka aminy mbamin’ ny vantotr’ omby sy ny ombilahy, ka dia vonton-drà ny taniny, ary mihosi-menaka ny vovo-taniny.
And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.
8 Fa Jehovah manana andro famaliana, dia taona famaliana hiadiana ho an’ i Ziona.
For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.
9 Ary hovana ho tonga dity ny renirano any Edoma, ary ho solifara ny vovo-taniny, ary ny taniny ho dity mirehitra.
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 Na alina na andro dia tsy hovonoina izany, ary ny setrony hisavoana mandrakizay; Hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby dia ho tany karankaina izy, tsy hisy handeha hamaky azy intsony mandrakizay mandrakizay.
Night and day it shall not be quenched, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste, none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Fa ho zara-tanin’ ny sama sy ny sokina izy, ny vorondolo lehibe sy ny goaika dia hitoetra ao; Ary hohenjaniny eo aminy ny famolaina fikorontanana sy ny pilao fahafoanana.
The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.
12 Ary ny lehibe dia tsy hisy ao intsony hifidy izay hanjaka, fa ho fongana ny mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy.
The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.
13 Ary ho rakotry ny tsilo ny ao anatin’ ny lapan’ ny mpanjakany, amiana sy voaroy no ho ao amin’ ny trano fiarovany; Ary ho fonenan’ ny amboadia sy fitoeran’ ny ostritsa izy.
And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Ny bibi-dia any an-efitra hihaona amin’ ny kary; ary ny osilahy hiantso ny namany; Ary ilay mandehandeha amin’ ny alina hitoetra any ka hahita fitoerana ho azy.
And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.
15 Ny bibilava miantoratoraka hanao ny lavany any ka hanatody sy hifana ary hikotrika ao amin’ ny alokaloka any; Any koa no hiangonan’ ny papango, samy eo amin’ ny namany avy.
There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another.
16 Izahao ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Jehovah, ka vakio; Tsy misy tsy ao ireo na dia iray akory aza. Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza hitady ny namany; Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no nandidy izany, ary ny fanahiny ihany no nanangona azy.
Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 Ary Izy no efa tinendry anjara ho an’ ireo ary ny tànany no efa nizara izany ho an’ ireo tamin’ ny famolaina; Handova izany mandrakizay ireo ary hitoetra ao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.
