Isaia 19
1 Ty nibekoeñe i Mitsraime. Hehe te mijoñe an-drahoñe mihititioke ty lay t’Iehovà homb’e Mitsraime mb’eo; mitroetroe o hazomanga’ i Mitsraimeo ami’ty fiatrefa’e, mitranake ama’e ao ty arofo’ i Mitsraime.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
2 Hampifañatrefeko amo nte-Mitsraimeo o nte-Mitsraimeo; songa hifandrapake ami’ty rahalahi’e, sindre amy mpitrao-tanàñe ama’ey, rova ami’ty rova, fifeheañe ami’ty fifeheañe.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Le ho kafoake ama’e ao ty kofò’ i Mitsraime; ho mongoreko ty fikililia’ iareo, vaho ho troboe’ iareo o jinio naho o angatseo, o doanio naho o trombao.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
4 Le hatoloko am-pitàm-pifehe mitrotrofiake o nte-Mitsraimeo, mpanjaka tsy tame ty hifehe iareo, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Ho ritse ty rano’ i riakey, ho hendatse naho maike i oñey.
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6 Hitrotròtse o sakao; hihakede ampara’ te kànkañe o torahañeo; hiforejeje ty bararata naho ty vinda.
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7 O sale añ’olo’ i Sakaio, o am-binàñe’ i Sakaio, ho kirikitàñe ze teteke an-tamboho’ i Sakay eo, hisaoke, tsy ho eo ka.
The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Handala amy zao o mpamintañeo, le hangoihoy iaby ze mpanora-binta amy Sakay; vaho hitike ty mpandamake harato amo ranoo.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Ho salatse ka o mpandrare leny matifio, naho o mpanenoñe hasim-potio;
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 amy te hianto o mananta’eo, fonga ho lonjetse o mpikaramao.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
11 Toe seretse o roandria’ i Tsoaneo; tsy manjofake ty fanoroa’ o mpanolo-heve’ mahihi’ i Paròo. Akore ty hatao’o amy Parò: Ana’ o mahihitseo iraho, ana’ o mpanjaka haehaeo?
The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
12 Aia v’ iereo? Aia ze ondati’o mahihitse zao? Ampitaroño ama’o, ee te ho fohi’ iareo ty nisafirie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy amy Mitsraime.
Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
13 Fa nigegèñe o roandria’ i Tsoaneo; fa nifitaheñe o ana-dona’ i Nofeo; fa nampandrihe’ o natao ho vato-kotso’eo o fifokoa’ i Mitsraimeo.
The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
14 Nilaroe’ Iehovà ty fañahim-piolahañe; naho nampivembe’ iareo ty Mitsraime amo fitoloña’e iabio, hoe mpijike midaleandaleañe amy loa’ey.
The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 Le tsy ho aman-tolon-draha ty Mitsraime, ze mete hanoe’ ty loha ndra ty ohy, ty ran-tsatrañe ndra ty vinda.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
16 Hanahake ty ampela’ i Mitsraime amy andro zay: hititititike vaho ho hembakembañe amy fihelahelam-pità’ Iehovà’ i maroiy, ie ahelahela’e ambone’ iareo ey.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
17 Hampangebahebake i Mitsraime ty tane’ Iehodà, ndra ia ia mitalily ro hinevenevetse, ty amy fisafirie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy nañereñere aze.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
18 Ho lime ty rova an-tane Mitsraime ao ty hisaontsy an-tsaontsi’ i Kanàne amy andro zay, songa hifanta ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà’ i Màroy; hatao Rovam-Pandrotsahañe ty raike.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
19 Amy andro zay ho añivon-tane’ Mitsraime ao ty kitrely am’ Iehovà, naho ty vatolahy am’ Iehovà amy efe-tane’ey,
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
20 ho vilom-pitaliliañe Iehovà’ i Màroy, an-tane Mitsraime ao; fa hitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo ty amo mpanao sarererakeo, vaho hañitrifa’e Mpandrombake naho ty Maozatse hañaha iareo.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
21 Hampahafohine’ Iehovà i Mitsraime ty Fañova’e, naho ho fohi’ o nte-Mitsraimeo t’Iehovà amy andro zay; hitalahoa’iereo reke-tsoroñe naho enga, hifanta am’ Iehovà vaho hañavake.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
22 Ho lafae’ Iehovà t’i Mitsraime, ho fofohe’e naho ho melañe’e; himpoly am’ Iehovà iereo, le hihalaly ama’e vaho ho jangañe’e.
And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
23 Ho eo henane zay ty lalan-damoke boake Mitsraime añe pak’ Asore, le homb’e Mitsraime ty nte-Asore, naho homb’Asore ty nte-Mitsraime; vaho hitrao-pitalaho amo nte-Asoreo o nte-Mitsraimeo.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 Ho rai-toko-telo amy Mitsraime naho amy Asore t’Israele henane zay, fatarihañe añivon-tane ao, amy te
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
25 nitahie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, ami’ty hoe: Soatahy t’i Mitsraime ondatikoo, naho i Asore, satan-tañako, naho Israele lovako.
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
