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.”
Moreover the LORD said to me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
2 Ary haka vavolombelona mahatoky Aho, dia Oria mpisorona sy Zakaria, zanakalahin’ i Jeberekia.
And I took to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah 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.
And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
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 shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 Ary Jehovah dia mbola niteny tamiko indray hoe:
The LORD spoke also to me again, saying,
6 Satria ity firenena ity mandà ny rano Siloa izay misononoka Ary mifaly amin-dRezina sy ny zanak’ i Remalia,
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, 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 bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall 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.
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the spread of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
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.
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
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 shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall 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 the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not 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.
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hasino; Ary aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, Ary Izy ihany no hangovitanareo.
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your 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.
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Ary maro ao aminy no ho tafintohina sady ho lavo sy ho ringana Ary ho voafandrika sy ho voasambotra.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be ensnared, and be taken.
16 Fehezo ny teni-vavolombelona, Ary asio tombo-kase ny lalàna eo amin’ ny mpianatro.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 Ary hiandry an’ i Jehovah aho Izay manafina ny tavany amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Ka hanantena Azy ihany aho.
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for 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 the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
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?
And when they shall say to you, Seek to them that are mediums, and to wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek to their God? for the living to the dead?
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.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in 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;
And they shall pass through it, distressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall be enraged, and curse their king and their God, and look 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 they shall look to the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
