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;
Let me sing for my well beloved, a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My well beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
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.
He spaded it, removed the stones, and planted it with an excellent kind of vine. He built a tower in the middle of it, and also built a winepress. He waited for it to produce grapes, but it only produced wild grapes.
3 Koa noho izany, ry mponina any Jerosalema sy ry lehilahy amin’ ny Joda, Masìna ianareo, tsarao Aho sy ny tanim-boaloboko.
So now, inhabitant of Jerusalem and man 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 could have been done for my vineyard, that I have not done for it? When I looked for it to produce grapes, why did it produce wild grapes?
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;
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will remove the hedge, I will turn it into a pasture, I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
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.
I will lay it waste, and it will not be pruned nor hoed. Instead, briers and thorns will spring up. I will also command the clouds not to rain on 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 Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah his pleasant planting; he waited for justice, but instead, there was killing; for righteousness, but, instead, a shout for help.
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 those who join house to house, who join field to field, until no room remains, and you alone remain in the land!
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.
Yahweh of hosts told me, many houses will be empty, even great and impressive ones, without any 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.
For a ten-yoke vineyard will yield only one bath, and one homer of seed will yield only an ephah.
11 Lozan’ izay mifoha maraina koa ka mitady toaka! Izay miboboka mandra-paharivan’ ny andro ka ampirehetin’ ny divay!
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to obtain strong drink, those who linger late into the night until wine inflames them.
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.
They banquet with harp, lute, tambourine, flute, and wine, but they do not recognize the work of Yahweh, nor have they considered the doings 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.
Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of understanding; their honored leaders go hungry, and their common people have nothing to drink.
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)
Therefore Sheol has made its appetite greater and has opened its mouth very wide; their elite, the people, their leaders, and the revelers and those who are happy among them, descend into Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ary ny zanak’ olombelona dia hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny olona haetry, Ary ny mason’ ny miandranandrana dia haidina.
Man will be forced to bend down, and mankind will be humbled; the eyes of the lofty will be cast down.
16 Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hisandratra amin’ ny fitsarana, Ary Andriamanitra masìna dia hiseho ho masìna amin’ ny fahamarinana.
Yahweh of hosts will be exalted in his justice, and God the Holy One will show himself holy by his righteousness.
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.
Then the sheep will feed as in their own pasture, and in the ruins, lambs will graze as foreigners.
18 Lozan’ izay mitari-keloka amin’ ny kofehin’ ny faharatsiana Ary mitarika ota toy ny amin’ ny mahazakan-tsariety,
Woe to those who pull along iniquity with useless cords and who pull along sin as if it were with a cart rope.
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!
Woe to those who say, “Let God hurry, let him act quickly, so we can see it happen; and let the plans of the Holy One of Israel come, so that we may know them.”
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 those who call evil good, and good evil; who represent darkness as light, and light as darkness; who represent bitter as sweet, and sweet as bitter!
21 Lozan’ izay manao azy ho hendry sy manao azy ho mazava saina!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own understanding!
22 Lozan’ izay fatratra nefa amin’ ny fisotroan-divay ihany, sy izay kanto nefa amin’ ny fampiharoharoana toaka ihany!
Woe to those who are champions at drinking wine, and masters at mixing strong drinks;
23 Ary izay manamarina ny meloka noho ny kolikoly sy manala ny rariny amin’ ny marina!
who acquit the wicked for payment, and deprive the innocent of his rights!
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.
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the dry grass goes down in flame, so their root will rot, and their blossom will blow away like dust. This will happen because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts, and because they have despised the word 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.
Therefore the anger of Yahweh is kindled against his people. He has reached out with his hand against them and has punished them. The mountains tremble, and their corpses are like garbage in the streets. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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;
He will lift up a signal flag for far away nations and will whistle for those at the end of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and promptly.
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,
None tire or stumble among them; none slumbers or sleeps. Nor are their belts loose, or the thongs of their sandals 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 bent; their horses' hooves are like flint, and their chariot wheels like storms.
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 will be like a lion; they will roar like young lions. They will growl and seize the prey and drag it away, with none to rescue.
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.
On that day they will roar against the prey as the sea roars. If anyone looks over the land, he will see darkness and suffering; even the light will be made dark by the clouds.
