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, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
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 armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, 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 has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.
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 have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
5 Ho ritse ty rano’ i riakey, ho hendatse naho maike i oñey.
And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
6 Hitrotròtse o sakao; hihakede ampara’ te kànkañe o torahañeo; hiforejeje ty bararata naho ty vinda.
And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
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.
Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
8 Handala amy zao o mpamintañeo, le hangoihoy iaby ze mpanora-binta amy Sakay; vaho hitike ty mpandamake harato amo ranoo.
And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
9 Ho salatse ka o mpandrare leny matifio, naho o mpanenoñe hasim-potio;
And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
10 amy te hianto o mananta’eo, fonga ho lonjetse o mpikaramao.
And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in 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?
Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
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 now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against 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.
Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
14 Nilaroe’ Iehovà ty fañahim-piolahañe; naho nampivembe’ iareo ty Mitsraime amo fitoloña’e iabio, hoe mpijike midaleandaleañe amy loa’ey.
YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs 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.
And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, 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 Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving 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 has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling 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 are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
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 is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,
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 has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered 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 YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [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 YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed 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 a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served 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 is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
25 nitahie’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, ami’ty hoe: Soatahy t’i Mitsraime ondatikoo, naho i Asore, satan-tañako, naho Israele lovako.
In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
