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 burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.

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 incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, 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 shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

4 Le hatoloko am-pitàm-pifehe mitrotrofiake o nte-Mitsraimeo, mpanjaka tsy tame ty hifehe iareo, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy.

And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

5 Ho ritse ty rano’ i riakey, ho hendatse naho maike i oñey.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;

6 Hitrotròtse o sakao; hihakede ampara’ te kànkañe o torahañeo; hiforejeje ty bararata naho ty vinda.

and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.

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 meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].

8 Handala amy zao o mpamintañeo, le hangoihoy iaby ze mpanora-binta amy Sakay; vaho hitike ty mpandamake harato amo ranoo.

And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

9 Ho salatse ka o mpandrare leny matifio, naho o mpanenoñe hasim-potio;

And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.

10 amy te hianto o mananta’eo, fonga ho lonjetse o mpikaramao.

And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.

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?

They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient 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 are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon 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 princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.

14 Nilaroe’ Iehovà ty fañahim-piolahañe; naho nampivembe’ iareo ty Mitsraime amo fitoloña’e iabio, hoe mpijike midaleandaleañe amy loa’ey.

Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.

15 Le tsy ho aman-tolon-draha ty Mitsraime, ze mete hanoe’ ty loha ndra ty ohy, ty ran-tsatrañe ndra ty vinda.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may 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 shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh 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 shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed 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 shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.

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 shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:

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 shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

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 Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform 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 Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.

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 shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.

24 Ho rai-toko-telo amy Mitsraime naho amy Asore t’Israele henane zay, fatarihañe añivon-tane ao, amy te

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

25 nitahie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, ami’ty hoe: Soatahy t’i Mitsraime ondatikoo, naho i Asore, satan-tañako, naho Israele lovako.

whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!
