Isaia 16
1 Ahitrifo mb’amy mpanjaka’ i taney o vik’añondry boak’ an-tseram- bato miatreke i fatrambeiio, mb’am-bohin’ anak’ampela’ i Tsione mb’eo.
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 Ie amy zao manahake ty voroñe naronje boak’ an-traño’ iareo ao, o anak’ ampela’ i Moabe amy fitsaha’ i Arnoneio.
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3 Atorò, tampaho ty heve’o; manalinjò hoe te haleñe an-tsingilingilin’andro; aetaho o naitoañeo; ko aboake ty mipalitse.
Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noon-day; hide the outcasts; discover not him that wandereth.
4 Adono hañialo ama’o ao ry Moabe o naitoañe amako, ehe ampitsoloho ami’ty tarehe’ i mpamaokey. Fa añe ty mpisenge hery, nijihetse i fikopahañey, le finaoke amy taney o mpamorekekeo.
Let my outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Haoreñe am-pikokoa-migahiñe ty fiambesatse, le hiambesatse ama’e ty mpizaka an-kavantaña’e, an-kivoho’ i Davide ao, ie ty hipay ty hatò vaho halisa amy fahiti’ey.
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 Fa jinanji’ay ty firengevoha’ i Moabe; ie loho miebotsebotse, ty amy fitoabora’e naho ty hakavokavo’e, ty harobodroboha’e, vaho ty fisengea’e kafoake.
We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.
7 Aa le hangololoike ho a i Moabe t’i Moabe, songa hangoihoy; ho a ty mofo-mami’ i Kir-karesete ty hiroveta’ areo, tsipike ty anahelo.
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
8 Miforejeje o tonda’ i Kesboneo, naho ty vahe’ i Sibmà, fa pinekapeka’ o roandria’ o kilakila’ ndatioo o hatae fanjàka’eo; o nahatakatse Iazare añeo, nikariokarioke an-dratraratra ao; le nandrevake o tsampa’eo, nitsake i riakey.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down her principal plants, they have come [even] to Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are extended, they have gone over the sea.
9 Aa le hindre hirovetse ami’ty firoveta’ Iazare iraho ty amy vahe’ i Sibmày; ho tondrahako ranomaso irehe ry Kesbone, naho i Eleale; ty amy havokaran’asara’oy naho ty fitataha’o, fa inay ty koike aly.
Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
10 Fa tinavañe amy tonda-kobokaray ty hafaleañe naho ty rebeke; tsy aman-tsabo o tondam-baheo, tsy amam-pazake; tsy eo ty handialia divay amo fipiritañeo; fa nampitsiñeko ty koikoi’ iareo.
And gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] -shouting to cease.
11 Aa le hanoiñe hoe marovany amy Moabe ty troko, naho ho a i Kir-karesete o añ’ovakoo.
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-haresh.
12 Le ho tondroke te, ho oniñe midazidazitse ankaboa’ey t’i Moabe, ie mizilike amo navahe’eo hihalaly, f’ie tsy haharongatse.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13 Izay ty nibekoe’ Iehovà haehae i Moabe.
This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14 Hoe ka t’Iehovà henaneo: Tsy hahamodo telo taoñe, ami’ty fañiahan’androm-pikarama, le ho sirikaeñe ty enge’ i Moabe naho i valobohò’ey; le ho potrapotra’e avao ty ho sisa vaho tsy hanjofake.
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
