< Isaia 13 >

1 Nibekoe’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse i Bavele amy nioni’ey.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
2 Ampitroaro viloñe am-bohits’abo ey, ipoñafo feo, mañelahelà fitañe, himoaha’ iareo an-dalam-bein-droandriañe ao.
Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
3 Fa liniliko o neferakoo naho kinoiko o manjofakoo, o mahimbañe naho ­rototseo ty amy habosehakoy.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
4 Inay ty rehoreho am-bohitse eñe, hoe ondaty mitozantozañe! Inao ty fikoraha’ ty fitontona’ o fifehea’ o kilakila ‘ndatio! Tehafe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy o valobohòkeo hihotakotake.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5 Boak’ an-tsietoitane añe iereo, boak’ am-pigadoña’ i likerañey añe, —Iehovà, naho o fialiam-pifombo’eo— handrotsake i tane iabiy.
To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6 Mangololoiha; fa antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà; toe fandrotsahañe boak’ amy El-Sadai ty hivotraha’e;
Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7 Hene higebañe amy zao o fitañeo, vaho songa hitranake ty arofo’ ondaty.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
8 Hangebahebake iereo; hamihiñe iareo ty hativontivoñe naho ty fisintosintoñe; le hanahake ty fitsongoan-ampela ty fanaintaiña’ iareo; ho veren-draha hifampitorìtotse; ho tarehe mibelabela-afo ty lahara’ iareo.
And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
9 Inao, antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà, hasarerahañe, filoroloro naho fifombo miforoforo, hampangotomomoke i taney, vaho hamongotse o lo-tsereke ama’eo.
Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Le tsy hañomey ty hazavà’e o vasian-dikerañeo naho o fitoboroña’eo, ho maieñe i àndroy te manjirike, vaho tsy hampaviahe’ i volañey ty hazavà’e.
For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
11 Ho liloveko ty tane toy ty amo hakeo’ iareoo, o tsy vokatseo ty amo tahi’ iareoo, le haziko ty firengevoha’ o mpiebotsebotseo, vaho hazevoko ambane ty fireñeta’ o mpamorekekeo.
And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12 Hanoeko loho sarotse ta ty volamena hiringiri’e t’indaty; le ambone’ ty vongam-bola­mena’ i Ofirey ondatio.
A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
13 Aa le hampiezeñezeñeko o likerañeo, naho hahifikifike tsy ho amy toe’ey ty tane toy, ty ami’ty fifombo’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, amy andron-kaviñera’e miloroloroy.
For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
14 Ho tondroke amy zay t’ie hanahake ty farasy rinoake naho ty añondry tsy amam-pamory sindre milay mb’an-tane’e mb’eo, songa himpoly mb’am’ondati’eo.
And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
15 Ho tomboheñe iaby ze zoeñe, vaho hene hampikorovohem-pibara ze tsinepake.
Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
16 Ho demodemoheñe añatrefam- pihaino’iareo o anak’ajaja’ iareoo; ho kopaheñe ty anjomba’ iareo, vaho ho vahorañe ty rakemba’ iareo.
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
17 Eka, ho troboheko am’ iareo o nte-Madaio, o tsy mañaom-bolafotio; ndra volamena tsy ifalea’e.
Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
18 Ho trofatrofahem-pale o ajalahio; tsy ho ferenaiña’ iareo ty vokan-koviñe; tsy ho tretrezem-­pihaino’e o ajajao.
But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
19 I Bavele amy zao, i volonahe’ o fifeheañeoy, i fisengea’ o nte-Kasdio fanjakay: le hanahake ty fandrotsahan’Añahare i Sedome naho i Amorà.
And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
20 Le lia’e tsy ho amam-pimoneñe, vaho tsy hañialo ao o tariratse mifandimbeo; tsy hañoren-kivoho eo t’i nte-Arabe, tsy hamahetse goloboñe ao o mpiarakeo.
It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
21 Toe ho fandrea’ o fanalokeo; ho àtseke ty ontsoñontsoñe o anjomba’ iareoo, himoneñe ao o voron-tsatrañeo, vaho hitsinjake ao o lolo miogogoo.
But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
22 Hañaolo añ’anjomba-hara’ iareo ao o maràmboloo naho o amboa sirasirao an-toe’ iareo fanjakao; fa antitotse ty amotoañañe aze, vaho tsy haesoñe o andro’eo.
And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
