Isaia 10
1 Hankàñe amo manampa-pepètse tsivokatseo, naho o mampipatetse famorekekeañeo;
Woe to those who enact unjust laws and write unfair decrees.
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 deprive the needy of justice, rob the poor of my people of their rights, plunder widows, and make the fatherless their prey!
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 will you do on judgment day when the destruction comes from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave 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.
Nothing remains, and you crouch among the prisoners or fall among the killed. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
5 O Asore, kobain-kaviñerakoo, ry dodan-katorifihako am-pità’ iareoo:
Woe to the Assyrian, the club of my anger, the rod by whom I wield 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 send him against an arrogant nation and against the people who bear my overflowing wrath. I order him to take the spoil, to take the prey, and to trample them like mud 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 he intends, nor does he think this way. It is in his heart to destroy and eliminate many nations.
8 Fa hoe re: Tsy songa mpanjaka hao o roandriakoo?
For he says, “Are not all my princes kings?
9 Tsy hambañe amy Karkemise hao ty Kalnè? Naho amy Kamate ty Arpade? Vaho amy Damesèke ty Somerone?
Is not Kalno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like 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 overcome idolatrous kingdoms, whose carved figures were greater 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?
just as I did to Samaria and her worthless idols, will I not also do the same to Jerusalem and to 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,
When the Lord has finished his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and his prideful looks.
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 says, “By my strength and by my wisdom I acted. I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples. I have stolen their treasures, and like a bull I have brought down the inhabitants.
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.
My hand has seized, as from a nest, the wealth of nations, and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. None fluttered their wings or opened their mouth or chirped.”
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 ax boast about itself against the one who wields it? Will the saw praise itself more than the one who cuts with it? It is as if a rod could lift up those who raise it, or as if a wooden club could lift up a person.
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.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh of hosts will send emaciation among his elite warriors; and under his glory there will be kindled a burning like fire.
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.
The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; it will burn and devour his thorns and briers 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.
Yahweh will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful land, both soul and body; it will be like when a sick man's life wastes away.
19 Ho tsiampe ty hatae sisa añ’ala’e ao, ndra ajaja ty hahavolily aze.
The remnant of the trees of his forest 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.
On that day, the remnant of Israel, the family of Jacob that has escaped, will no longer rely on the one who defeated them, but will indeed depend on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Himpoly ty sehanga’e, ty honka’ Iakobe, mb’aman’ Añahare Tsitongereñe.
A remnant of Jacob will return 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.
For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, as overflowing righteousness demands.
23 Famongorañe do’e, toe najadoñe, ty hafetsa’ i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, añ’ivo i tane iabiy.
For the Lord Yahweh of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction determined throughout 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.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh of hosts says, “My people who live in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian. He will strike you with the rod and raise his staff against you, as the Egyptians did.
25 Fa hanintsiñe aniany o heloko miforoforoo, vaho ho amy fandrotsahañe iareoy ty habosehako.
Do not fear him, for in a very short time my anger against you will end, and my anger will lead to his 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.
Then Yahweh of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his rod over the sea and lift it up 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.
On that day, his burden is lifted from your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of fatness.
28 Fa nivotrak’e Aiate re, fa nirangae’e ty Migrone; e Mikmase ao ty nampipoha’e o harao’eo;
The enemy has come to Aiath and has passed through Migron; at Michmash he has stored his provisions.
29 Nitsahe’ iereo i hebam-bohitsey; nialeñe e Gèbà añe; nihondrahondra t’i Ramae; nibotafotse añe ty Gibae’ i Saole.
They have crossed over the pass and they lodge at Geba. Ramah trembles and Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Mampikoiaha feo ry anak’ ampela’ i Galime: manokilaña ravembia ry Laise! Ry Anatote mahaferenaiñeo!
Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Give attention, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 Fa nivoratsake ty Madmenae; fa mitsoloke o mpimone’ i Gebimeo.
Madmenah is fleeing, and the inhabitants of Gebim run for safety.
32 Hitofa e Nobe ao re te anito, hañonjo-haok’ amy vohi’ i anak’ampela’ i Tsione an-kaboa’ Ierosalaimey.
This very day he will halt at Nob and shake his fist at 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.
Behold, the Lord Yahweh of hosts will lop off the boughs with a terrifying crash; the tallest trees will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Ho firae’e am-biñe o ala matahetseo, le hideboñe hoe fanalolahy t’i Lebanone.
He will chop down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon in his majesty will fall.
