Isaia 10
1 Hankàñe amo manampa-pepètse tsivokatseo, naho o mampipatetse famorekekeañeo;
Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
2 Ty mampivike o misotrio tsy hahazoa’e to, vaho mitavañe ty zo’ o rarake am’ondatikoo, hihaofa’ iareo o vantotseo, hitsatsà’ iareo o bode-raeo!
Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.
3 Aa le ino ty hanoe’ areo amy androm-pitilihañey, naho amy hekoheko hifetsake boak’añey? fa hipay imba ama’ia nahareo? vaho hapo’ areo aia ty vara’ areo?
And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?
4 Ino ty hanoeñe, naho tsy hitsilofìñe amo tsinepakeo, ndra hitsingoritritse amo vinonoo? Amy hoe zay iaby, mboe tsy mitolike ty haviñera’e, mbore mbe mitora-kitsy ty fità’e.
... For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 O Asore, kobain-kaviñerakoo, ry dodan-katorifihako am-pità’ iareoo:
Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
6 Hiraheko haname ty fifeheañe tsy vokatse, hafantoko am’ondaty iviñerakoo, hikopaha’e naho hitsindroha’e vaho handialia’e hoe fotake an-dalañe eo.
I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.
7 Tsy apota’e izay, toe tsy am-pitsakorean-tro’e; fe ty handrotsake ro firefea’e, ty hañito fifeheañe maro.
But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
8 Fa hoe re: Tsy songa mpanjaka hao o roandriakoo?
For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
9 Tsy hambañe amy Karkemise hao ty Kalnè? Naho amy Kamate ty Arpade? Vaho amy Damesèke ty Somerone?
Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Manahake ty nitakaran-tañako o borizañe an-tsamposampo tsieo, ie maro te amo hazomanga e Ierosalaime naho e Someroneo.
As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
11 Aa tsy hanoeko am’ Ierosalaime naho o hazomanga’eo hao, ty nanoeko amy Somerone reketse o hazomanga’eo?
So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
12 Aa le ho tondroke te ie nihenefa’ i Talè ty fitoloña’e am-bohi’ i Tsioney eo naho am’ Ierosalaime eo, le hanao ty hoe: Ho liloveko o vokan’ arofo irengevoha’ i mpanjaka’ i Asoreio naho o engen-dahara’e mievoñevoñeo,
For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
13 ami’ty nanoe’e ty hoe: Ami’ty haozaran-tàñako naho ami’ty hihiko ty nanoako izay, toe mahilala iraho; fonga nafahako ty efe-tane’ondatio naho nikamereko ty vara’ iareo, vaho nampitsingoro o mpimone’ iareoo hoe asam-panalolahy;
For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
14 Le nitakaren-tañako manahake te nitrañom-boroñe ty vara’ ze hene ondaty; hoe fitontonan-atoly naforintseñe ty nanontonako ty tane toy iaby; tsy teo ty nañetseke elatse, ndra nanoka-bava, ndra nivolañe.
And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
15 Hiebotsebotse amy mitañ’azey hao ty fekoñe? Hitsingevongevo amy mandronje azey hao ty lasý? Manahake ty kobaiñe manjonjoñe ty mivontititse ama’e, naho ty fitoñoñe mañongake ty raha tsy hatae.
Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
16 Aa le hañitrike haborokàñe amo vondra’eo t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy; le ho viañeñe ambane’ i enge’ey eo ty hatomomohañe hoe afo mamorototo.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
17 Hinjare afo ty failo’ Israele naho lel’afo i Masi’ey; hiforehetse hampitomontoñe o fati’eo naho o hisa’eo añate ty andro raike.
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
18 Ty enge’ i ala’ey naho i tete’e kobokaray ty hagodra’e troke naho tsandriñe; manahake ty finiha’ t’indaty siloke.
And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
19 Ho tsiampe ty hatae sisa añ’ala’e ao, ndra ajaja ty hahavolily aze.
And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
20 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te tsy hiato amy namofoke iareo ty sengaha’ Israele naho o nandrifitse amy anjomba’ Iakobeio; fe Iehovà Masi’ Israele ty hiatoa’ iareo ami’ty hatò.
And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Himpoly ty sehanga’e, ty honka’ Iakobe, mb’aman’ Añahare Tsitongereñe.
The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
22 Fa ndra te mira ami’ty faseñe an-driakey ondati’oo ry Israele, ty sehanga’e avao ty himpoly; fa fanjamanañe lifo-kavañonañe ty tinendre.
For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
23 Famongorañe do’e, toe najadoñe, ty hafetsa’ i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, añ’ivo i tane iabiy.
For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
24 Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy: O ry ondatiko mpimoneñe e Tsioneo, ko hembañe amy Asore, ndra te fofohe’e an-doda, naho añonjona’e kobay handafà’e azo ami’ty sata’ i Mitsraime.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
25 Fa hanintsiñe aniany o heloko miforoforoo, vaho ho amy fandrotsahañe iareoy ty habosehako.
For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
26 Le ho tsekafe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ama’e ty karavantsy, manahake ty nanjamanañe i Midiane am-bato’ i Orebe añe; naho ho ambone’ i riakey ey ty kobai’e, vaho honjone’e manahake ty nanoe’e amy Mitsraime.
And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
27 Ie amy andro zay, hihintsañe tsy ho antsoro’o eo ty kilanka’e, naho tsy ho an-kàto’o eo ty joka’e, toe hipozake amy havondrahañey i jokay.
And in that day the weight which he put on your back will be taken away, and his yoke broken from off your neck.
28 Fa nivotrak’e Aiate re, fa nirangae’e ty Migrone; e Mikmase ao ty nampipoha’e o harao’eo;
He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
29 Nitsahe’ iereo i hebam-bohitsey; nialeñe e Gèbà añe; nihondrahondra t’i Ramae; nibotafotse añe ty Gibae’ i Saole.
They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
30 Mampikoiaha feo ry anak’ ampela’ i Galime: manokilaña ravembia ry Laise! Ry Anatote mahaferenaiñeo!
Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.
31 Fa nivoratsake ty Madmenae; fa mitsoloke o mpimone’ i Gebimeo.
Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
32 Hitofa e Nobe ao re te anito, hañonjo-haok’ amy vohi’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsione an-kaboa’ Ierosalaimey.
This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Eka, ho birae’ i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy an-kaviñerañe o tsampa’eo; le ho firaeñe añe o mijoalao, vaho ho tomoreñe o mininginingio.
See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
34 Ho firae’e am-biñe o ala matahetseo, le hideboñe hoe fanalolahy t’i Lebanone.
And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
