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 ye peoples, give attention, Hear doth the earth and its fulness, The world, and all its productions.
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 wrath [is] to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath given them to slaughter.
3 Ary izay voavono amin’ ireo dia hariana, ka hamofona ny hamaimbon’ ny fatiny, ary ny tendrombohitra hiempo azon’ ny ràny.
And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from 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 consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a 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 soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for 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.
A sword [is] to Jehovah — it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to Jehovah 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 come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.
8 Fa Jehovah manana andro famaliana, dia taona famaliana hiadiana ho an’ i Ziona.
(For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion's strife, )
9 Ary hovana ho tonga dity ny renirano any Edoma, ary ho solifara ny vovo-taniny, ary ny taniny ho dity mirehitra.
And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land hath 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.
By night and by day she is not quenched, To the age go up doth her smoke, From generation to generation she is waste, For ever and ever, none is passing into her.
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.
And possess her do pelican and hedge-hog, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He hath stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
12 Ary ny lehibe dia tsy hisy ao intsony hifidy izay hanjaka, fa ho fongana ny mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy.
[To] the kingdom her freemen they call, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
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 gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
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 met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And hath found 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 made her nest hath the bittern, Yea, she layeth, and hath hatched, And hath gathered under her shadow, Only there gathered have been vultures, Each with its companion.
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 out of the book of Jehovah, and read, One of these hath not been lacking, None hath missed its companion, For My mouth — it hath commanded, And His spirit — He 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 for them a lot, And His hand hath apportioned [it] to them by line, Unto the age they possess it, To all generations they dwell in it!
