Isaia 22
1 Ty nibangoeñe i Vavatanem- Pahaoniñañey: Ino ty maniloke azo henaneo gea, t’ie miañambone mb’an-tafo mb’eo iaby!
The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
2 Atsa-koràke irehe, Ty rova mivalitsikotake, ty positse mirebeke tia! Toe tsy zinamam-pibara o nibaibay ama’ areoo, tsy nitsingoro an-kotakotake!
With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
3 Fonga nitrao-pivoratsake ty mpifehe’ areo, f’ie tsinepake tsy am-pale, hene miharo-rohy ze nitendreke ndra te niherereake añe.
All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
4 Aa le hoe iraho, Aviho amako o fihaino’oo; apoho hangololoike ty tañy; ko imanea’o hohò, ty amy fandrotsahañe i anak’ampela’ ondatikooy.
For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
5 Fa ho andron-kankàñe, fandialiañe naho ampoheke, am-bavatanem-Pahoniñañe ao boak’ amy Talè Iehovà’ i Màroy; ty fandrotsahan-kijoly, vaho ty fikaikaihañe o vohitseo.
For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
6 Nitintiñe i trañon’ana-paley t’i Elame reketse sarete naho ondaty naho mpiningi-tsoavala, vaho nañafake i sarom-pikalan- defoñey t’i Kire.
Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
7 Ho tondroke te ho tsitsike sarete o vavatane’ areo fanjàkao, vaho hilahatse an-dalam-bey eo o mpiningi-tsoavalao.
And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
8 Hinalo’e ty saro’ Iehodà. Nitolihe’o amy andro zay o fialiañe añ’anjomban’alao;
Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
9 Nisamba’ areo o jeba’e an-drova’ i Davideo t’ie maro; vaho nitoha rano añ’antara ambane ey nahareo.
And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
10 Nivolilie’ areo o anjomba’ Ierosalaimeo, vaho nakoroma’ areo ty anjomba ila’e hanosohañe i kijoliy.
And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
11 Nandranjia’ areo talaha añivo’ i kijoly roe rey hitañe ty rano’ i antara antetsey—fe tsy niatoa’ areo i namboats’azey, tsy nihaoñe’ areo i nisafiry aze haehaey.
And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
12 Amy andro zay nikoike fangololoihañe, naho fandalàñe, t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, naho fampikovohan-doha, vaho fisikinan-gony;
And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
13 Te mone: rebeke naho hafaleañe, tombok’añombe naho fandentàñ’ añondry, fikamàn-kena naho finoman-divay: Antao hikama naho hinoñe, ke ho mate maray!
Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
14 Aa le naboa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy an-tsofiko ao ty hoe: Toe tsy ho jebaña’o i hakeo zay ampara’ t’ie mihomake, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy.
Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
15 Hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy: Akia mb’amy mpamandroñey, mb’amy Sebnà, mpifehe’ i trañoy mb’eo:
Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
16 Ino ty zo’o atoy? Ia o azo atoio, te nihalia’o kibory etoa ho am-bata’o, ie andavaha’o lonake an-kaboañe ey, naho kaokaohe’o ho azo ty fimoneña’o an-damilamy ao?
What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
17 Inao! havokovoko’ Iehovà am-pivokovokoam-panalolahy añe irehe; eka ho gore’e an-jitse,
Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
18 havarimbari’e vaho havoeboe’e hoe labole mb’an-tane miratraratra añe; añe ty hihomaha’o, ho añe ka o sareten’ enge’oo, ty hasalarañ’ anjomban-talè’o tia.
He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
19 Ho roaheko irehe tsy ho an-toe’o, le hafotsako ho ambanen-tsaranga’o ao.
Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
20 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te ho kanjieko t’i Eliakime ana’ i Hilkià, mpitoroko.
And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
21 Le haombeako ty sarimbo’o, hadiako ama’e ty sadia’o, vaho hapoko am-pità’e eo i nifelehe’oy; ie ty ho rae’ o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, naho i anjomba’ Iehodày.
And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
22 Hanoeko an-tsoro’eo i lahin-dakilèn’ anjomba’ i Davidey; ie manokake, tsy eo ty handrindry; ie mandrindriñe tsy eo ty hanokake.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
23 Haoreko hoe fàntake an-toe’e mafe eo; ie ty ho fiambesam-bolonahetse añ’anjomban-drae’e ao.
And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
24 Le hasampe’ iareo ama’e iaby ty engen-anjomban-drae’e, o tariratseo naho o tamingañeo, ze fonga anam-pitiheke naho ze hene fitovy naho o sajoao.
And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
25 Amy andro añe zay, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, le hitrànkañe i fantake nazitse an-toe’e mafey, hipoñake le hideboñe, vaho hipitsoke ama’e o kilankañe tama’eo; fa nitsara t’Iehovà.
In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
