< Isaia 7 >

1 Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Ahaza, zanak’ i Jotama, zanak’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no niakaran-dRezina, mpanjakan’ i Syria, sy Pelza, zanak’ i Remalia, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, hanafika an’ i Jerosalema, nefa tsy nahafaka azy izy.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
2 Dia nambara tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida hoe: Injao ny Syriana efa mitoby any amin’ ny Efraima. Ary nirondrona ny fony sy ny fon’ ny vahoakany toy ny firondronan’ ny hazo any an’ ala, raha asian’ ny rivotra.
And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
3 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ Isaia: Mivoaha ianao sy Seara-jasoba zanakao hitsena an’ i Ahaza eo amin’ ny faran’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony, eo amin’ ny lalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba,
And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
4 ka lazao aminy hoe: Mitandrema, ka aza taitaitra foana; Aza matahotra, ary aoka tsy ho ketraka ny fonao Noho ireto tapa-porohana roa midonaka ireto, Dia ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran-dRezina sy Syria ary ny zanak’ i Remalia.
and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Satria efa nanao saina hampidi-doza aminao Syria sy Efraima ary ny zanak’ i Remalia ka nanao hoe:
Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 Andeha isika hananika an’ i Joda ka hampaharaiki-tahotra azy Ary hanafaka azy ho antsika ka hanangana ny zanak’ i Tabeala ho mpanjaka ao afovoany,
Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
7 Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tsy ho tanteraka izany, Ary tsy hisy izany;
thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
8 Fa ny lohan’ i Syria dia Damaskosy, Ary ny lohan’ i Damaskosy dia Rezina (Ary ao anatin’ ny dimy amby enim-polo taona dia ho rava ny Efraima ka tsy ho vanon-ko firenena intsony),
for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
9 Ary ny lohan’ i Efraima dia Samaria, Ary ny lohan’ i Samaria dia ny zanak’ i Remalia. Raha tsy mety mino ianareo, Dia tsy ho tafatoetra.
and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Ary Jehovah mbola niteny tamin’ i Ahaza ihany ka nanao hoe:
And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 Mangataha famantarana amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; eny, mangataha na ho avy amin’ ny lalina ambany, na ho avy amin’ ny avo ambony. (Sheol h7585)
Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 Fa hoy Ahaza: Tsy hangataka aho, fa tsy haka fanahy an’ i Jehovah
And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
13 Dia hoy Isaia: Mihainoa ary, ny taranak’ i Davida: Ataonareo ho zavatra kely foana moa ny hanasatra ny olona, No dia hanasatra an’ Andriamanitro koa ianareo?
And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
14 Ary noho izany dia ny Tompo no hanome famantarana ho anareo: Indro, hanan’ anaka ny virijina ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany hataony hoe Imanoela.
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
15 Rehefa mahalala handà ny ratsy sy hifidy ny tsara izy, Dia rononomandry sy tantely no ho fihinany.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 Fa raha tsy mbola mahalala handà ny ratsy sy hifidy ny tsara izany zaza izany, Dia ho lao ny tanin’ ireo mpanjaka roa maharaiki-tahotra anao ireo.
For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
17 Jehovah hahatonga aminao sy ny olonao ary ny mpianakavin-drainao Izay andro tsy mbola nisy toa azy Hatramin’ ny andro nialan’ i Efraima tamin’ ny Joda (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria);
Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
18 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Jehovah hisiaka hiantso ny lalitra, izay any amin’ ny faran’ ny onin’ i Egypta, sy ny renitantely, izay any amin’ ny tany Asyria;
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
19 Dia ho avy ireo, ka samy hipetraka amin’ ny lohasaha lao, sy eny an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, sy eny amin’ ny fefy tsilo rehetra, ary eny amin’ ny saha fiandrasana rehetra.
and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
20 Amin’ izany andro izany koa ny Tompo hanaratra ny loha sy ny volon-tongotra Amin’ ny hareza nohofana any amoron’ ny Ony (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria); Ary ny volom-bava hokakasana amin’ iny koa.
In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
21 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Dia samy hiompy ombivavy kely sy ondry roa ny olona;
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
22 Ary noho ny haben’ ny ronono azo avy amin’ ireo dia hihinana rononomandry izy; Fa rononomandry sy tantely no ho fihinan’ ny olona sisa rehetra ao amin’ ny tany.
and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
23 Ary amin’ Izany andro izany dia ho rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo Ny tany rehetra izay nisy voaloboka arivo nahazo sekely arivo.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
24 Zana-tsipìka sy tsipìka no ho entin’ izay miditra ao, satria rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo ny tany rehetra.
with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
25 Ary ny tanety rehetra izay nohevoina tamin’ ny angady dia tsy ho azonao diavina noho ny fahatahorana ny hery sy ny tsilo; Fa ho falehan’ ny omby sy ho voahitsakitsaky ny ondry aman’ osy izany.
And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
