Nahoma 3
1 Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà! Feno lainga sy fandozana izy; Tsy ialan-dremby ao aminy.
O bloody citie, it is all full of lyes, and robberie: the pray departeth not:
2 Injany! ny fifiopioky ny karavasy! Ny fikorodondrodon’ ny kodia! Ny fikatrokatroky ny soavaly! Ary ny fitraitraiky ny kalesy!
The noyse of a whippe, and the noyse of the mouing of the wheeles, and the beating of the horses, and the leaping of the charets.
3 He! ny fampiriotry ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly! Akory ny fanelatselatry ny sabatra Sy ny famirapiratry ny lefona! Indrisy ny habetsahan’ ny voatrabaka sy ny hamaroan’ ny voavono! Tsy hita isa ny faty, Eny, voafingampingan’ ny faty ny olona,
The horseman lifteth vp both the bright sword, and the glittering speare, and a multitude is slaine, and the dead bodyes are many: there is none ende of their corpses: they stumble vpon their corpses,
4 Noho ny habiazan’ ny fijangajangan’ ikala janga tsara tarehy, Tompovavin’ ny fankatovana, Izay mivarotra firenena amin’ ny fijangajangany Sy fokom-pirenena amin’ ny fankatovany.
Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that is beautifull, and is a mistresse of witchcraft, and selleth the people thorow her whoredome, and the nations thorowe her witchcrafts.
5 Indro, hamely anao Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Ary haingaiko ho amin’ ny tavanao ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao, Ka hasehoko amin’ ny firenena ny fitanjahanao Sy amin’ ny fanjakana ny fahamenaranao.
Beholde, I come vpon thee, saith the Lord of hostes, and will discouer thy skirtes vpon thy face, and will shewe the nations thy filthines, and the kingdomes thy shame.
6 Dia hotsipazako loto ianao Ka hataoko tsinontsinona, Eny, hataoko fitalanjonana ianao.
And I will cast filth vpon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gasing stocke.
7 Arv izay rehetra mijery anao dia handositra anao Ka hanao hoe: Rava Ninive! Iza no hitomany azy? Aiza no hitadiavako izay hampionona anao?
And it shall come to passe, that al they that looke vpon thee, shall flee from thee, and say, Nineueh is destroyed, who will haue pitie vpon her? where shall I seeke comforters for thee?
8 Tsara noho No-amona va ianao? Ilay nitoetra teo anelanelan’ ny ony Ka nohodidinin’ ny rano; Ny rano be no rovany, Ary ny rano be koa no mandany;
Art thou better then No, which was ful of people? that lay in the riuers, and had the waters round about it? whose ditche was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ny Etiopiana sy ny Egyptiana no heriny, Sady tsy hita lany ireny; Ny Lydiana sy ny Libyana no mpanampy azy.
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and there was none ende: Put and Lubim were her helpers.
10 Nefa na izy aza dia lasa, eny, lasan-ko babo; Ny zanany madinika koa notorotoroina teny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny; Ny olo-malazany nanaovany filokana, Ary ny lehibeny rehetra nogadrana.
Yet was she caried awaye, and went into captiuitie: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streetes: and they cast lottes for her noble men, and al her myghtie men were bound in chaines.
11 Hianao koa ho mamo ka hiafina, Hianao koa hitady fiarovana mafy hierenao ny fahavalonao.
Also thou shalt bee drunken: thou shalt hide thy selfe, and shalt seeke helpe because of the enemie.
12 Ny manda mafinao rehetra ho tahaka ny aviavy misy voa mialin-taona: Raha hohozongozonina izy, dia hihintsana ao am-bavan’ izay hihinana aza.
All thy strong cities shall be like figtrees with the first ripe figs: for if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Indro, vehivavy no olonao ao aminao; Hidiran’ ny fahavalonao no hidananan’ ny vavahadin’ ny taninao; Levon’ ny afo ny hidinao.
Beholde, thy people within thee are women: the gates of thy land shalbe opened vnto thine enemies, and ye fire shall deuoure thy barres.
14 Manangona rano ho anao ho an’ ny fahirano; Hamafio ny mandanao; Mirotsaha amin’ ny fotaka, ka hosihoseo ho feta, Amboary ny lafaoro fandoroam-biriky.
Drawe thee waters for the siege: fortifie thy strong holdes: go into the clay, and temper the morter: make strong bricke.
15 Any no handevonan’ ny afo anao Sy handripahan’ ny sabatra anao; Hohaniny toy ny fihinan’ ny valalavao ianao; Mihamaroa toy ny valalavao, Mihabetsaha toy ny valala.
There shall ye fire deuoure thee: the sword shall cut thee off: it shall eate thee vp like the locustes, though thou bee multiplied like the locustes, and multiplyed like the grashopper.
16 Nataonao betsaka noho ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra ny mpandrantonao; Mipariaka ny valalavao ka lasa manidina.
Thou hast multiplied thy marchantes aboue the starres of heauen: the locust spoileth and flyeth away.
17 Ny andriananao dia toy ny valala, Ary ny mpifehinao dia toy ny valalavao, Izay mitoby eny amin’ ny fefy, raha mangatsiaka ny andro; Fa raha miposaka ny masoandro, dia lasa manidina izy, Ka tsy fantatra izay nalehany.
Thy princes are as the grashoppers, and thy captaines as the great grashoppers which remaine in the hedges in the colde day: but when the sunne ariseth, they flee away and their place is not knowen where they are.
18 Rendrehana ny mpiandrinao, ry mpanjakan’ i Asyria; Miampatrampatra ny lehilahy maherinao; Aely eny an-tendrombohitra ny olonao. Ka tsy misy mamory azy.
Thy shepheardes doe sleepe, O King of Asshur: thy strong men lie downe: thy people is scattered vpon the mountaines, and no man gathereth them.
19 Tsy mety mihena ny fangirifirianao, Tsy azo sitranina ny ferinao; Izay rehetra ilazana ny nanjo anao dia hiteha-tanana anao; Fa iza no tsy efa tratry ny fandozanao mandrakariva?
There is no healing of thy wounde: thy plague is grieuous: all that heare the brute of thee, shall clap the handes ouer thee: for vpon whome hath not thy malice passed continually?
