< Isaia 5 >

1 Aoka aho hihira ny amin’ ny Malalako, dia hiran’ ny Malalako ny amin’ ny tanim-boalobony. Ny Malalako nanana tanim-boaloboka tao an-kavoana lonaka;
I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my paternal cousin, about his vineyard. A vineyard was made for my beloved, at the horn in the son of oil.
2 Dia nasainy io, ka nesoriny ny vato, Ary novoleny karazam-boaloboka tsara, Sady nanao tilikambo teo afovoany Izy Ary nandavaka famiazam-boaloboka teo; Dia nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Izy, Kanjo namoa voalobo-dratsy.
And he fenced it in, and he picked the stones out of it, and he planted it with the best vines, and he built a tower in the middle of it, and he set up a winepress within it. And he expected it to produce grapes, but it produced wild vines.
3 Koa noho izany, ry mponina any Jerosalema sy ry lehilahy amin’ ny Joda, Masìna ianareo, tsarao Aho sy ny tanim-boaloboko.
Now then, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah: judge between me and my vineyard.
4 Inona moa no mbola azo natao tamin’ ny tanim-boaloboko, Ka tsy efa nataoko taminy? Koa raha nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Aho, Nahoana no namoa voalobo-dratsy izy?
What more should I have done for my vineyard that I did not do for it? Should I not have expected it to produce grapes, though it produced wild vines?
5 Koa noho izany dia aoka hambarako anareo izay hataoko amin’ ny tanim-boaloboko: Hesoriko ny fefy tsilony, ka dia holevonina izy; Ary harodako ny fefy vatony, ka dia ho voahitsakitsaka izy;
And now, I will reveal to you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence, and it will be plundered. I will pull down its wall, and it will be trampled.
6 Ary hataoko simba dia simba izy; Tsy hohetezana ny sakeli-boalobony, ary tsy hohevoina izy, Fa ho rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo; Ary hodidiako ny rahona tsy hampilatsaka ranonorana aminy.
And I will make it desolate. It will not be pruned, and it will not be dug. And briers and thorns will rise up. And I will command the clouds not to rain upon it.
7 Fa ny taranak’ i Isiraely no tanim-boalobok’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda no voly tiany; Dia nanantena fitsarana marina Izy, kanjo fandatsahan-drà; Niandry fahamarinana Izy, kanjo, indro, fitarainana.
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. And the man of Judah is his delightful seedling. And I expected that he would do judgment, and behold iniquity, and that he would do justice, and behold an outcry.
8 Lozanareo izay mangorona trano lalandava Sady mampiharo vala ny saha amin’ ny saha, Ambara-paha-tsy hisy hitoeran’ ny sasany intsony, Mba ho tonga mponina manirery eo amin’ ny tany ianareo!
Woe to you who join house to house, and who combine field to field, even to the limits of the place! Do you intend to live alone in the midst of the earth?
9 Izao no ren’ ny sofiko avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Marina tokoa fa ho foana ny trano maro, Eny, na dia izay lehibe sady tsara aza dia tsy hisy mpitoetra.
These things are in my ears, says the Lord of hosts. Otherwise, many houses, great and beautiful, will become desolate, without an inhabitant.
10 Ary bata iray monja no ho vokatry ny tanim-boaloboka folo Zemeda, Ary rehefa iray monja no ho vokatry ny voan-javatra eran’ ny homera.
Then ten acres of vineyard will produce one small bottle of wine, and thirty measures of seed will produce three measures of grain.
11 Lozan’ izay mifoha maraina koa ka mitady toaka! Izay miboboka mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ka ampirehetin’ ny divay!
Woe to you who rise up in the morning to pursue drunkenness, and to drink even until evening, so as to be inflamed with wine.
12 Ary ny lokanga sy ny valiha, ny ampongatapaka sy ny sodina ary ny divay no foto-panasany; Fa ny asan’ i Jehovah tsy mba jereny, Ary ny ataon’ ny tanany tsy mba hitany.
Harp and lyre and timbrel and pipe, as well as wine, are at your feasts. But you do not respect the work of the Lord, nor do you consider the works of his hands.
13 Ary noho izany dia ho lasan-ko babo ny oloko noho ny tsi-fahalalany, Ary ny olona ambony ho mosarena, Ary ny valalabemandry ho main’ ny hetaheta.
Because of this, my people have been led away as captives, for they did not have knowledge, and their nobles have passed away from famine, and their multitudes have dried up from thirst.
14 Koa izany no mampitanatana vava ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hanao teli-moka an’ i Jerosalema; Ary any no hivarinan’ ny voninahiny sy ny fihahohahony ary ny tabatabany mbamin’ izay mifalifaly ao aminy; (Sheol h7585)
For this reason, Hell has expanded its soul, and has opened its mouth without any limits. And their strong ones, and their people, and their exalted and glorious ones will descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ary ny zanak’ olombelona dia hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny olona haetry, Ary ny mason’ ny miandranandrana dia haidina.
And man will be bowed down, and man will be humbled, and the eyes of the exalted will be brought low.
16 Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hisandratra amin’ ny fitsarana, Ary Andriamanitra masìna dia hiseho ho masìna amin’ ny fahamarinana.
And the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the holy God will be sanctified in justice.
17 Ary ny zanak’ ondry hikania toy ny eny amin’ ny tany fiandrasana azy ihany; Ary ny tany foana izay nipetrahan’ ny matavy, dia mpirenireny no hiandry ondry ao.
And the lambs will pasture in proper order, and new arrivals will eat from the deserts turned into fertile lands.
18 Lozan’ izay mitari-keloka amin’ ny kofehin’ ny faharatsiana Ary mitarika ota toy ny amin’ ny mahazakan-tsariety,
Woe to you who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and who draw sin as if with the rope of a cart,
19 Dia izay manao hoe: Aoka hohafainganiny sy hododonany ny asany, mba ho hitantsika, Ary aoka izay kasain’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely ho mby akaiky ka ho tanteraka, mba ho fantatsika!
and who say: “Let him hurry, and let his work arrive soon, so that we may see it. And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach and arrive, so that we may know it.”
20 Lozan’ izay milaza ny ratsy ho tsara ary na tsara ho ratsy! Izay manao ny maizina ho mavaza ary ny mazava ho maizina! Izay manao ny mangidy ho mamy ary ny mamy ho mangidy!
Woe to you who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Lozan’ izay manao azy ho hendry sy manao azy ho mazava saina!
Woe to you who are wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own sight!
22 Lozan’ izay fatratra nefa amin’ ny fisotroan-divay ihany, sy izay kanto nefa amin’ ny fampiharoharoana toaka ihany!
Woe to you who are powerful at drinking wine, who are strong men in contriving inebriation!
23 Ary izay manamarina ny meloka noho ny kolikoly sy manala ny rariny amin’ ny marina!
For you justify an impious man in exchange for bribes, and you carry away the justice of a just man from him.
24 Koa toy ny fandevonan’ ny lelafo ny mololo, ary toy ny fifitsaky ny bozaka midedadeda, dia toy izany no hahalovan’ ny fakany sy hijofoan’ ny voniny hanjary vovoka, satria efa nandà ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro izy Sy nanamavo ny tenin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
Because of this, as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the heat of a flame burns it completely, so will their root become like glowing embers, and so will their offshoot ascend like dust. For they have cast aside the law of the Lord of hosts, and they have blasphemed the eloquence of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Koa izany no irehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny olony sy aninjirany ny tànany aminy ka amelezany azy; Dia mihorohoro ny tendrombohitra, ary ny fatin’ ny olona dia tonga tahaka ny diky eny an-dalambe. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
For this reason, the fury of the Lord has been enraged against his people, and he has extended his hand over them, and he has struck them. And the mountains were disturbed. And their carcasses became like dung in the midst of the streets. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
26 Ary hanangana faneva ho amin’ ny firenena lavitra Izy sady hisiaka hiantso ny iray avy any am-paran’ ny tany; Ary, indro, ho avy faingana dia faingana ireo;
And he will lift up a sign to nations far away, and he will whistle to them from the ends of the earth. And behold, they will rush forward speedily.
27 Tsy hisy reraka na tafintohina ao aminy; Tsy ho rendrehana na hatory izy: Tsy hiboraka ny fehin-kibony, ary tsy ho tapaka ny fehin-kapany,
There is no one weak or struggling among them. They will not become drowsy, and they will not sleep. Neither will the belt around their waist be loosened, nor the laces of their boots be broken.
28 Maranitra ny zana-tsipìkany, Ary voahenjana avokoa ny tsipìkany; Ny kitron-tsoavaliny atao ho tahaka ny afovato; Ary ny kodiany ho tahaka ny tadio;
Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are taut. The hoofs of their horses are like flint, and their wheels are like the force of a tempest.
29 Ny fierony dia tahaka ny fieron’ ny liom-bavy, Ary mierona tahaka ny liona tanora izy; Eny, manerona izy ka mandrapaka ny toha, Dia lasany, ka tsy azo alaina intsony.
Their roaring is like the lion; they will roar like young lions. They will both roar and seize their prey. And they will wrap themselves around it, and there will be no one who can rescue it.
30 Ary hirohondrohona aminy amin’ izany andro izany izy Tahaka ny firohondrohon’ ny ranomasina; Ary raha mijery ny tany ny olona, dia indro aizina sy fahoriana; Ary ny fahazavana hohamaizinin’ ny rahona.
And in that day, they will make a noise over it, like the sound of the sea. We will gaze out toward the land, and behold, the darkness of the tribulation, and even the light has been darkened by its gloom.
