Isaia 24
1 Heheke ampangoakoahe’ Iehovà i taney, ampiantoe’e, aotakota’e, vaho aparatsia’e o mpimone’eo:
Watch out! The Lord is going to destroy the earth, to make it totally devastated. He's going to rip up the surface of the earth and scatter its inhabitants.
2 ty mpisoroñe naho ty fokonontsoa, ty ondevo naho ty tale; ty anak’ampatañe naho ty rakemba; ty mpivily naho ty mpandetake; ty mpampindrañe naho ty mpindrañe, ty mampisongo naho ty mpisongo.
It will happen the same for everybody—whether people or priests, servants or their masters, maids or their mistresses, buyers or sellers, lenders or borrowers, creditors or debtors.
3 Hene ho korendaheñe i taney, hakopake malio, fa nafè’ Iehovà i tsaray.
The earth will be completely laid waste and looted. This is what the Lord has said.
4 Mioje i taney naho miforejeje, miheatse naho midrodremotse ty voatse toy, fonga mitike o nonjoneñe an-tane atoio.
The earth dries up and withers away; the world shrivels up and withers away, the high and mighty people shrivel up along with the earth.
5 Tiniva’ o mpimone’eo i taney, nandilatse Hàke iereo, niotake amo fañèo, vaho nivalike amy fañina tsy modoy.
The earth is polluted by its people; they have flouted God's laws, violated his regulations, and broken the eternal agreement with him.
6 Aa le nabotsem-patse i taney, naho sesehen-kakeo o mpitoboke ama’eo, toly ndra minike o mpimone’ i taneio, vaho tsy ampe ty sengaha’e;
That is why a curse is destroying the earth. The people suffer because of their guilt. The inhabitants of the earth are burned up and only a few survive.
7 Tsy vaño ty divay vao, miheatse o vaheo; hene miselekaiñe o mpifalefaleo.
The new wine dries up, and the vine withers. All the people celebrating groan.
8 Mijihetse ty firebeha’ o kantsàñeo, migadoñe ty fikoraha’ o mpirebekeo, milesa ty hafalea’ o marovanio.
The happy sound of tambourines is over; the noise of the party-goers has stopped; the delightful harp music has finished,
9 Tsy minon-divay an-tsabo iereo; mafaitse ty toake amo mikam’azeo.
People don't sing any more as they drink wine, and the beer tastes bitter.
10 Nakoromake i rova nitsamborohotakey; songa mirindriñe ze anjomba, tsy hiziliha’ondaty.
The chaotic city is falling apart; every house is barred shut to keep others out.
11 Firovetañe ty an-dalañe ey, ty amy divaiy; nagoboñe ze hene hafaleañe, fa nafahañe ty firavoravoa’ i taney.
Crowds on the street are shouting, demanding to have wine. Joy turns into darkness. There's no happiness left on earth.
12 Nengañe hoake i rovay, kinaboke ho fianto o lalambei’eo
The city is in a horrible state of ruin; its gates have been broken down.
13 Fa izay ty ho ie añivo’ ty tane toy, anteñateña’ ondatio, manahake ty fañozoñozoñan-tsakoa, naho ty fitimponañe ty sisa ami’ty fanontonañe valoboke.
This is the way it's going to be all throughout the earth among the nations—only a few olives are left after the tree is shaken, only a few grapes are left to be gleaned after the harvest.
14 Mampipoña-peo iereo, misabo an-drebeke; mirañoraño o boak’ an-driakeo mañonjoñe ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
These survivors shout aloud and sing for joy. From the west they praise the Lord's majesty.
15 Aa le mandrengea Iehovà ry an-kazavañe añe, ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, ry añ’olon-driakeo.
From the east they glorify the Lord; from the sea shores they praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 Boak’ antsietoitane añe ty nahajanjiña’ay sabo: Enge ho a i vantañey! Fe nataoko ty hoe: Minike iraho, mitike avao; feh’ohatse amako! Mikinia o mpikitro-drahao; eka vata’e mikitroke ty mpikilily.
We hear songs coming from the ends of the earth, singing, “Glory to the God who does right.” But I'm miserable, miserable. Pity me! Deceitful people go on betraying, again and again.
17 Ama’o ry mpimone’ ty tane toio ty harevendreveñañe, i koboñey, vaho i fandrikey.
Terrors and pit-traps and snares are waiting for you, people of the earth.
18 Aa le ho tondroke te, hikapotrake an-koboñe ao ze ampivoratsahe’ ty talili’ i hekohekoy; naho ho tsepahe’ ty fandrike ze manganike boak’ an-koboñe ao; fa misòkake o lalan-kede añ’abo eñeo vaho miezeñezeñe o faha’ ty tane toio.
Those who run away in terror will fall into a pit-trap, and those who escape from the pit-trap will be caught in a snare. Heaven's windows are opened; earth's foundations shake.
19 Señake ty tane toy, mangorobagorobañe; nampigavengaveñeñe ty tane toy.
The earth is completely broken up; the earth is ripped apart, the earth is violently shaken.
20 Mivembeñe hoe ondaty jike ty tane toy; mitroetroe hoe kibohotse; mavesatse ama’e o fiolà’eo, ie hikorovoke tsy hitroatse ka.
The earth staggers to and fro like a drunk, and sways this way and that like a shelter. The guilt of its rebelliousness weighs heavily on it, and it collapses—it won't rise again.
21 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te ho lilove’ Iehovà i valobohòn-dikerañey, an-dindiñ’ añe, naho o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, an-tane atoy.
At that time the Lord will punish all the high heavenly beings and the kings of the earth.
22 Hatontoñe, manahake ty añoroñañe mpirohy am-balabey ao, naho hagabeñe am-porozò ao; ie naha-modo andro maro ao vaho ho liloveñe.
They will be brought together, prisoners in a pit. They will be imprisoned, and eventually they will be punished.
23 Ho meñatse i volañey, ho salatse i àndroy; fa hifehe am-bohi-Tsione ey t’Iehovà, toe e Ierosalaime ao, le haboak’ amo mpifehe’ondati’eo ty enge’e.
The moon will be embarrassed and the sun will be ashamed, for the Lord Almighty will reign in glory on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem in the presence of its leaders.
