Isaia 1
1 I aroñaroñe nioni’Iesaià ana’ i Amotse ty am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime tañ’andro’ i Ozià, Iotame, Iakaze, naho Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of 'Uzziyahu, Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah.
2 Mitsanoña ry likerañeo, manolora sofiñe ty tane toy, fa mitsara t’Iehovà. Nañabey naho nampitombo anake iraho, f’ie niola.
Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken: Children have I nourished and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
3 Apota ty añombelahy ty tompo’e, naho ty borìke ty lokaloka’ i mpanehak’ azey; fe tsy mahafohiñe t’Israele, tsy maharendreke ondatikoo.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ry boriza aman-kakeo, ondaty mijiny tahiñeo, tirim-panao raty, anake mitolon-kamengohañe! fa nifarie’ iereo t’Iehovà, nitsambolitio’ iereo t’i Masi’ Israele, aliheñe iereo vaho midisa-voly.
Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.
5 Ino ty mbe hanilofañe anahareo, ie mbe mitolom-piola avao? Marare iaby ty añambone, hene toirañe ty arofo.
Why will ye be stricken yet more? [that] ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.
6 Boak’an-dela-pandia pak’añambone’e, tsy ama’e ty janga, fa fere, vonotroboke naho bae miborentatse: tsy nitindrieñe, tsy nibandieñe, tsy nihosoren-tsolike.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
7 Mangoakoake ty tane’ areo; finorototo’ ty afo ty rova’ areo; fa nabotse’ ty ambahiny añatrefa’ areo ty tane’ areo; le koake, hoe t’ie navalitaboam-pisorotombahañe.
Your country is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire; your soil—in your presence, strangers devour it, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Le nengañe hoe kijà an-tetem-bahe ey ty anak’ampela’ i Tsione, hoe kibohotse an-tanem-bazavo ao, hoe rova arikatohem-paname.
And left is the daughter of Zion as a hut in a vineyard, as a lodge in a cucumber field, as a besieged city.
9 Naho tsy sinisa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy sehanga’e tikañe, le ho ni-hoe Sedome, ho nanahake i Amorà.
Unless the Lord of hosts had left unto us a remnant ever so small, like Sodom should we have been, unto Gomorrah should we have been compared.
10 Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry mpifehe’ i Sedome; toloro ravembia i Tsaran’ Añaharen-tikañey, ry nte-Amorà.
Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom: give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 Inoñ’amako o soroñe mitozantozañeo? Hoe t’Iehovà: Fa mahaetsak’ahy o añondrilahy engaeñe horoañeo, naho o safom-biby vinondrakeo; tsy mahafale ahy ty liom-bania ndra o vik’añondrio, ndra o añondrilahio.
For what serveth me the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and the blood of bullocks, and of sheep, and of he-goats, I do not desire.
12 Ie mb’etoa nahareo hiatrek’ amako, ia ty nipay am-pità’ areo te ho lialià’ areo o kiririsakoo?
When ye come to appear in my presence—who hath required this at your hand, to tread down my courts?
13 Ko añenga’areo raha koake ka; ie enga tiva amako; O jiribolañeo, o Sabatao, o fivory koiheñeo: Tsy leoko o fivori-miavake milaro haratiañeo.
Continue no more to bring an oblation of deceit; incense of abomination is it unto me: new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies—I cannot bear misdeed with festive gathering.
14 Heje’ ty troko o jiri’bola’ areoo naho o takataka-tinendre’ areoo; Ie manosots’ ahy, hejeko ho vaveñe.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are become a burden unto me; I am weary to bear them,
15 Naho amelara’areo tañañe, le ho takonako ty masoko; Eka ndra t’ie mitolon-kalaly, tsy ho tsanoñeko, fa pea lio o fità’ areoo.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will withdraw my eyes from you; yea, when ye make ever so many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Miandroa, miliova; asitaho tsy ho aolo’ masoko ty halò-tserem-pitoloña’ areo; mijihera amo fanoañe ratio.
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Mianara hanao ty soa; tsoeho ty hato, avotsoro o forekekeñeo, omeo to ty bode rae, mihalalia ho a o vantotseo.
Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Antao hisafiry arè, hoe t’Iehovà: ndra te mena mandofiry ty hakeo’ areo, le ho foty matsatsaoke; ndra t’ie mena mañabasà, le hanahake volon’añondry.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins should be as scarlet, they shall become white as the snow; though they should be red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 Ie miato naho tsy manjehatse, ro hikama ty hasoa’ i taney.
If ye be willing and obey, the best of the land shall ye eat;
20 F’ie mandietse vaho miola, le habotse’ ty fibara; izay ty nitsaraem-palie’ Iehovà.
But if ye refuse and rebel, by the sword shall ye be devoured; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 Akore te nanjare karapilo i rova matoey! ie nilifotse ty hatò, nimoneñe an-kavañonañe, te mone mpañoho-doza henaneo.
How is she become a harlot, the faithful town! she, that was full of justice; righteousness lodged therein; but now murderers.
22 Fa tai’e avao ty volafoti’o, botsa-drano ty divai’o.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is drugged with water;
23 Mpikitro-karatiañe o ana-dona’oo, mpirañetse ami’ty malaso; songa mpitea vokàñe naho mpañori-tambe; tsy mea’ iereo to ty bode rae, vaho tsy atrefe’ iareo ty entam-bantotse.
Thy princes are rebels, and companions of thieves; every one loveth brides, and runneth after rewards; to the fatherless they will not do justice, and the cause of the widow doth not come unto them.
24 Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Hafatrara’ Israeley: Hete! Hafahako amako o rafelahikoo, vaho ho valèko o malaiñe ahikoo;
Therefore saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will take satisfaction on my adversaries, and be avenged on my enemies.
25 Le hahimpako ama’o ty tañako, naho ho lioveko hoe amañ’asidra ty taim-bi’o, vaho hafahako iaby o kanki’oo;
And I will turn my hand against thee, and purge away as with lye thy dross, and remove all thy tin:
26 Le hampoliko o mpizaka’oo manahake tam-baloha’e añe, naho o mpanolo-keve’oo hambañe am-pifotora’e añe: vaho hatao ty hoe irehe: Rova-Kavantañañe, Posetse Matoe.
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; after that shalt thou be called, The city of righteousness, the town that is faithful.
27 Ho jebañeñe ami’ty hatò ty Tsione, naho an-kavantañañe o aze mimpolio.
Zion shall be redeemed through justice, and her converts through righteousness.
28 Fe hitrao-pirotsahañe o mpanan-kakeo naho mpanan-tahiñeo, vaho ho hotomomoheñe ze mienga Iehovà.
But destruction shall come over transgressors and sinners together, and those that forsake the Lord shall perish.
29 Toe hisalara’ iereo o kile nisalalaeñeo, vaho himeñara’ areo o goloboñe nivihañeo.
For people shall be ashamed because of the terebinths which ye had desired, and ye shall be put to the blush because of the gardens that ye had chosen.
30 Hanahake ty kile aman-drave’e miheatse nahareo, naho hoe goloboñe tsy aman-drano.
For ye shall be as a terebinth the leaves of which wither, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 Ho pipìke ty maozatse, ho tsipelats’afo o tolon-draha’eo; hiharo hiforehetse iereon-droroe, le tsy eo ty hampikipeke.
And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.
