Isaia 8
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mangalà fafana lehibe, ka soraty aminy araka ny fanoratry ny olona hoe: “Ho an’ i Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.”
Adonai said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
2 Ary haka vavolombelona mahatoky Aho, dia Oria mpisorona sy Zakaria, zanakalahin’ i Jeberekia.
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah [My light Yah] the priest, and Zechariah [Remembered by Yah] the son of Jeberechiah.”
3 Ary nankany amin’ ny mpaminanivavy, aho; dia nanan’ anaka izy ka niteraka zazalahy. Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aoka ny anarany hataonao hoe Mahera-salala-hasi-baza.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Adonai said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
4 Fa raha tsy mbola mahatonona hoe Idada na Ineny io zazalahy io, dia hobaboina eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ny haren’ i Damaskosy sy ny fananan’ i Samaria.
For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father,’ and, ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus [Bucket of blood] and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria [Level plain].”
5 Ary Jehovah dia mbola niteny tamiko indray hoe:
Adonai spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 Satria ity firenena ity mandà ny rano Siloa izay misononoka Ary mifaly amin-dRezina sy ny zanak’ i Remalia,
“Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 Dia, indro, hampiakarin’ ny Tompo hanafotra azy ny rano be sady manonja amin’ ny Ony (Dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy ny voninahiny rehetra); Ary ny masondranony rehetra ho tondraka, Ary ny morony rehetra hihoarany;
now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria [Level plain] and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
8 Dia himaona fatratra izy ka hihatra amin’ ny Joda Ary hanafotra sady mbola hisondrotra ihany Mandra-pahatongany havozona; Ary ny fipasany eny an-daniny roa dia hanenika ny taninao, ry Imanoela ô.
It will sweep onward into Judah [Praised]. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, 'Immanu El [God is with us].
9 Misafoaha ihany ianareo, ry firenena ô, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy ianareo; Ary mihainoa ihany, ry tany lavitra rehetra, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy; Eny, misikìna ihany ianareo, nefa mbola ho ringana mihitsy.
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10 Makà saina ihany ianareo, nefa mbola hofoanana izany; Milazà ihany ny teny, nefa tsy ho tanteraka izany tsy akory; Fa aminay Andriamanitra.
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us.”
11 Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko, raha nanindry ahy mafy ny tànany, Ka nanariny tsy handeha amin’ ny falehan’ ity firenena ity aho:
For Adonai spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Aza mba lazainareo ho tetika fikomiana izay lazain’ ity firenena ity ho tetika fikomiana; Ary aza matahotra izay atahorany na mangovitra ianareo.
“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
13 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hasino; Ary aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, Ary Izy ihany no hangovitanareo.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14 Dia ho fitoerana masìna ho anareo Izy, Fa ho vato mahatafintohina sy vatolampy mahasolafaka kosa Amin’ ny firenena roa amin’ ny Isiraely, sady ho fandrika sy tonta Amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema.
He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel [God prevails], he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem [City of peace].
15 Ary maro ao aminy no ho tafintohina sady ho lavo sy ho ringana Ary ho voafandrika sy ho voasambotra.
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Fehezo ny teni-vavolombelona, Ary asio tombo-kase ny lalàna eo amin’ ny mpianatro.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the Torah ·Teaching· among my disciples.
17 Ary hiandry an’ i Jehovah aho Izay manafina ny tavany amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Ka hanantena Azy ihany aho.
I will wait for Adonai, who hides his face from the house of Jacob [Supplanter], and I will trust in him.
18 Indreto, izaho sy ireo zaza nomen’ i Jehovah ahy dia famantarana sy fahagagana ao amin’ ny Isiraely Avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay monina ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona.
Behold, I and the children whom Adonai has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel [God prevails] from Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], who dwells in Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
19 Ary raha lazainy aminareo hoe: Milà saina amin’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao sikidy, izay mitsiatsiaka sy miboeriboerika, Moa tsy Andriamaniny va no tokony hilan’ ny olona saina? Fa hila saina amin’ ny maty ho an’ ny velona va izy?
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:” should not a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Ho amin’ ny lalàna sy ny teni-vavolombelona ihany! Raha tsy miteny araka izany teny izany izy, Dia olona izay tsy hiposahan’ ny fahazavan’ ny maraina.
Turn to the Torah ·Teaching· and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 Dia samy hivezivezy amin’ ny tany izy rehetra sady mahantra no mosarena; Ary rehefa mosarena izy, dia ho sosotra ka hanozona ny mpanjakany sy Andriamaniny, ary dia hiandrandra;
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 Ary hijery ny tany izy, ka indro fahoriana sy fahamaizinana ary manjombona mahafadiranovana, Ary horoahina ho any amin’ ny aizim-pito izy.
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
