Isaia 24
1 Heheke ampangoakoahe’ Iehovà i taney, ampiantoe’e, aotakota’e, vaho aparatsia’e o mpimone’eo:
Behold, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth 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.
As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
3 Hene ho korendaheñe i taney, hakopake malio, fa nafè’ Iehovà i tsaray.
The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Mioje i taney naho miforejeje, miheatse naho midrodremotse ty voatse toy, fonga mitike o nonjoneñe an-tane atoio.
The land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
5 Tiniva’ o mpimone’eo i taney, nandilatse Hàke iereo, niotake amo fañèo, vaho nivalike amy fañina tsy modoy.
The land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke the everlasting covenant.
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;
Therefore a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
7 Tsy vaño ty divay vao, miheatse o vaheo; hene miselekaiñe o mpifalefaleo.
The new wine mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart do sigh;
8 Mijihetse ty firebeha’ o kantsàñeo, migadoñe ty fikoraha’ o mpirebekeo, milesa ty hafalea’ o marovanio.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth; The noise of them that rejoice is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Tsy minon-divay an-tsabo iereo; mafaitse ty toake amo mikam’azeo.
No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
10 Nakoromake i rova nitsamborohotakey; songa mirindriñe ze anjomba, tsy hiziliha’ondaty.
The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
11 Firovetañe ty an-dalañe ey, ty amy divaiy; nagoboñe ze hene hafaleañe, fa nafahañe ty firavoravoa’ i taney.
There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
12 Nengañe hoake i rovay, kinaboke ho fianto o lalambei’eo
Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
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.
Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive-tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is ended.
14 Mampipoña-peo iereo, misabo an-drebeke; mirañoraño o boak’ an-driakeo mañonjoñe ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
These shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall shout from the sea.
15 Aa le mandrengea Iehovà ry an-kazavañe añe, ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, ry añ’olon-driakeo.
Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea!
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.
From the end of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
17 Ama’o ry mpimone’ ty tane toio ty harevendreveñañe, i koboñey, vaho i fandrikey.
The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
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.
Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Señake ty tane toy, mangorobagorobañe; nampigavengaveñeñe ty tane toy.
The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
20 Mivembeñe hoe ondaty jike ty tane toy; mitroetroe hoe kibohotse; mavesatse ama’e o fiolà’eo, ie hikorovoke tsy hitroatse ka.
The earth reeleth like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
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.
In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are on high, And the kings of the earth upon 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 shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they be visited.
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 shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
