Isaia 10
1 Hankàñe amo manampa-pepètse tsivokatseo, naho o mampipatetse famorekekeañeo;
Tragedy is coming to those who pass evil decrees and who write laws to harm people.
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!
They pervert the legal rights of the needy, and rob justice from the poor of my people. They steal from widows and cheat orphans.
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?
What are you going to do on the day you're punished, when disaster falls on you from far away? Who are you going to run to so you can get help? Where are you going to leave all your wealth?
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.
All you'll be able to do is to bow down as prisoners, or lie among the dead! In all of this he is still angry and his hand is still raised.
5 O Asore, kobain-kaviñerakoo, ry dodan-katorifihako am-pità’ iareoo:
Tragedy is coming to the Assyrians, even though the rod they use represents my anger and the stick they hold in their hands represents my fury!
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 am sending the Assyrians against a nation that has given up on its God, against a people that make me angry. I order the Assyrians to loot them, to take their possessions, and to trample them down like mud in the street.
7 Tsy apota’e izay, toe tsy am-pitsakorean-tro’e; fe ty handrotsake ro firefea’e, ty hañito fifeheañe maro.
But this isn't what is behind the thinking of the king of Assyria. This isn't the plan he has in mind. What he wants to do is to destroy and eliminate many nations.
8 Fa hoe re: Tsy songa mpanjaka hao o roandriakoo?
He says: “All my commanders are kings!
9 Tsy hambañe amy Karkemise hao ty Kalnè? Naho amy Kamate ty Arpade? Vaho amy Damesèke ty Somerone?
We conquered Calno like we did Carchemish; Hamath like Arpad; Samaria like Damascus.
10 Manahake ty nitakaran-tañako o borizañe an-tsamposampo tsieo, ie maro te amo hazomanga e Ierosalaime naho e Someroneo.
I was the one who conquered these kingdoms along with the idols of their gods. These kingdoms had images of their gods that were better 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?
Why shouldn't I do to Jerusalem and her idols just what I did to Samaria and her idols?”
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,
Once the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will punish the king of Assyria for his terrible arrogance and for the conceited look in his 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 the king of Assyria says: “I have done this in my own strength. It was through my wisdom, because I'm clever. I have wiped out the boundaries of nations and looted their treasures. Like a bull I knocked their rulers off their thrones.
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.
Like robbing a bird's nest, I took the wealth of the nations. Like collecting abandoned eggs, I collected the whole the earth. There wasn't a fluttering wing or an open beak, not even a chirp!”
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.
Does an ax say it's more important than the person swinging it? Does a saw boast that it's greater than the person sawing with it? It would be as if a rod waved the person holding it, or a walking stick lifted up a person—who certainly wasn't 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.
So the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a disease on the king of Assyria's strong warriors that will make them waste away; a flaming fire will be set under everything he's so proud of.
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.
Israel's light will become a fire, and his Holy One will become a flame. It will burn up his thorns and brambles in just 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.
It will totally destroy its splendid forests and orchards. Assyria will waste away, staggering off like someone sick.
19 Ho tsiampe ty hatae sisa añ’ala’e ao, ndra ajaja ty hahavolily aze.
The trees left in its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
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.
At that time those who are left in Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer trust in those who turn on them, but they will truly trust in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Himpoly ty sehanga’e, ty honka’ Iakobe, mb’aman’ Añahare Tsitongereñe.
A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will come back to the Mighty 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.
Israel, even though your people are as numerous as sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.
23 Famongorañe do’e, toe najadoñe, ty hafetsa’ i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, añ’ivo i tane iabiy.
The Lord God Almighty has rightly decided to bring destruction throughout the whole country.
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.
So this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says, My people living in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrians who beat you with rods and hit you with clubs, just like the Egyptians did.
25 Fa hanintsiñe aniany o heloko miforoforoo, vaho ho amy fandrotsahañe iareoy ty habosehako.
Very shortly I will stop being angry with you. Then I will turn my anger on them and I will destroy them.
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.
The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, just as he did when he attacked the Midianites at the rock of Oreb. He will hold up his rod over the sea, just as he did in Egypt.
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.
At that time he will remove the burden from your shoulders and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of the anointing with oil.
28 Fa nivotrak’e Aiate re, fa nirangae’e ty Migrone; e Mikmase ao ty nampipoha’e o harao’eo;
The Assyrians came to Aiath, passed through Migron, and stored their supplies at Michmash.
29 Nitsahe’ iereo i hebam-bohitsey; nialeñe e Gèbà añe; nihondrahondra t’i Ramae; nibotafotse añe ty Gibae’ i Saole.
They cross the pass, saying, “We'll stay overnight at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble in fear; the inhabitants of Gibeah of Saul run away.
30 Mampikoiaha feo ry anak’ ampela’ i Galime: manokilaña ravembia ry Laise! Ry Anatote mahaferenaiñeo!
Shout out a warning, people of Gallim! Pay attention, those living in Laishah! You poor people of Anathoth!
31 Fa nivoratsake ty Madmenae; fa mitsoloke o mpimone’ i Gebimeo.
The people of Madmenah, are all running away. The inhabitants of Gebim are looking for somewhere safe.
32 Hitofa e Nobe ao re te anito, hañonjo-haok’ amy vohi’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsione an-kaboa’ Ierosalaimey.
Today the invaders stop at Nob, shaking their fists at the mountain of the Daughter of Zion, at 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.
Look how the Lord Almighty is going to chop off the branches with great force. The tall trees will be cut down, the proud trees will be brought crashing down.
34 Ho firae’e am-biñe o ala matahetseo, le hideboñe hoe fanalolahy t’i Lebanone.
He will cut down the thick forest with an ax, and Lebanon will fall at the hand of the Mighty One.
