Isaia 21
1 Ty nibangoeñe i fatram-bei’ i riakeiy: Manahake ty famaoha’ o tio-bey tatimoo, ie miboak’ an-dratraratra hirik’ an-tane mampangebahebak’ añe.
The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
2 Naboak’ amako ty aroñaroñe mampioremeñe: Ty mpamañahy mamañahy, ty mpamaoke mamaoke. Mionjona ry Elame! Miarikoboña, ry Maday! Fa hene nampitsiñeko o fiselekaiñañeo.
A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
3 Aa le mikoritoke avao ty vaniako; mamihiñe ahy ty fitsongoañe, manahake ty fitsongon’ ampela mañèñe; mikoretse iraho le tsy mahatsanoñe, miroreke tsy mahafañente.
Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
4 Mifejofejo ty troko; mampirevendreveñ’ahiko ty tahotse; nivalike ho fineveneverañe i palipalitsieñe nisalalaeko.
Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
5 Nihalankañeñe i fandambañañey, nalamake i tihiy, nikama naho ninoñe; Miongaha ry roandriañeo, hosoro o fikalan-defoñeo.
Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
6 Fa zao ty nafè’ i Talè amako: Akia, ajadoño ty mpijilo; adono hitalily ze talake’e.
For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
7 Nahaisake firimboñañe re reketse mpiningi-tsoavala ki-roe roe, mpijòm-borìke naho mpitoboke an-drameva; mitsendreñe amy zao re, mitsatsike.
And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
8 Nikaikaihe’e hoe liona: O talè, Mitolom-pijagarodoñe am-pitalakesañ’ abo atoy iraho te handro, le mijohañe am-pijilovako ey te haleñe.
And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
9 Heheke ondaty lia-raikeo, mpiningi-tsoavala kiroe-roe. Manoiñe ka re manao ty hoe: Rotsake, Rotsake t’i Bavele; fonga nivolentsa an-tane eo o saren-drahare’eo.
And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
10 O ry linisakoo, ry anako an-toem-pamofohakoo, Hampahafohineko anahareo o raha tsinanoko am’ Iehovà’ i maroio, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
11 Ty nibangoeñe i Domà: Mikoike amako ty boak’e Seire: O mpigaritseo, manao akore i haleñey? O mpijiloo, akore ty haleñe toy?
The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
12 Hoe i mpigaritsey: Hiporea’ ty maraindray, fa ho avy ka ty haleñe— ihe hañontane le mañontanea; mibaliha indraike!
The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
13 Ty entañe ho amy Arabe: Amo rongo-matahe’ i Arabeo ty hitobea’ areo ry mpivorontsa’ i Dedaneo.
The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
14 Ry mpimone’ i Temao, anjotsò rano i taliñiereñey; Salakao ama’ mahakama o nivoratsakeo.
O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
15 Ie nilaisa’ iareo o fibarao, i mesolava napotsoañey, naho i fale nibitsokey, vaho ty fanindria’ i aliy.
For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
16 Fa zao ty nafè’ i Talè amako: Añate ty taoñe raike, ami’ty fañiaham-pikarama, le ho hene modo ty enge’ i Kedare.
For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
17 Le tsy ho ampeampe ty sengaha’ o mpitàm-paleo, o lahilahy manjofake amo ana-Kedareoo; fa izay ty nitsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
