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.
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from 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 wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up 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 out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down 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 hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit 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 hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, 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.
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 Fa Jehovah manana andro famaliana, dia taona famaliana hiadiana ho an’ i Ziona.
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 Ary hovana ho tonga dity ny renirano any Edoma, ary ho solifara ny vovo-taniny, ary ny taniny ho dity mirehitra.
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land 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.
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; 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 pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 Ary ny lehibe dia tsy hisy ao intsony hifidy izay hanjaka, fa ho fongana ny mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy.
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
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.
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for 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.
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
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 also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
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 the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather 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.
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
