< 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 nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that spring 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 indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Ary izay voavono amin’ ireo dia hariana, ka hamofona ny hamaimbon’ ny fatiny, ary ny tendrombohitra hiempo azon’ ny ràny.
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their ill smell shall come up from their carcases, and 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 heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their hosts shall fall down, as the leaf falleth from the vine, and as a falling [fig] 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 shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to 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 fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath 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.
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be drenched with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 Fa Jehovah manana andro famaliana, dia taona famaliana hiadiana ho an’ i Ziona.
For [it is] the day of the LORD'S vengeance, [and] the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
9 Ary hovana ho tonga dity ny renirano any Edoma, ary ho solifara ny vovo-taniny, ary ny taniny ho dity mirehitra.
And its streams shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone, and its 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.
It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke of it shall ascend 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.
But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 Ary ny lehibe dia tsy hisy ao intsony hifidy izay hanjaka, fa ho fongana ny mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy.
They shall call her nobles to the kingdom, but none [shall be] there, and all her princes 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 shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses, and it shall be a habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls.
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 beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the isle, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech-owl also shall rest there, and find for herself 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 shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, 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.
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it 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 shall they dwell therein.
