Isaia 29

1 Hekoheko ry Ariele, ry ­Ariele, ty rova nitobea’ i Davide! Tovoño taoñe an-taoñe, ampitoitoio o sabadidakeo!

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.

2 Le handesako haemberañe ty Ariele, le ho fandalàñe naho firovetañe ty ao, ie hanahake Ariele amako.

But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.

3 Le ho arikatohako irehe; ho arikoboñako votre abo, hatroako ama’o ty rafi-panameañe

And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with watch-posts, and I will raise forts against thee.

4 Le hafotsak’ ambane irehe, hisaontsy boak’an-tane ao, hirik’an-deboke itsalalampa’o ao ty hipetropetroha’o, hanahake ty feon’ angatse boak’ an-tane ao ty antseñàntseña’o, vaho higeongeoñe boak’ an-demboke ao ty filañona’o.

And thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

5 Fa hanahake ty deboke mibò o rafelahi’o maroo, le hoe kafo mihofa o mampangebahebake tsifotofotoo— eka, hafetsak’ aniany, ami’ty manao zao.

And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

6 Hitilike anahareo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy reketse hotroke naho fanginikinihañe, naho fitromoroñañe, naho tangololahy, naho tiobey vaho ty lel-afo mamorototo.

Thou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

7 Le ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iaby mialy amy Arieleo, o mifandrapake ama’eo, naho o rafem-pañarikatohañe azeo, naho o mampalovilovy azeo, le hanahake ty nofy, ty aroñaroñe an-kaleñe;

And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

8 Le ho hambañe ami’ty saliko mañinofy, heheke t’ie mikama, f’ie tsekake, mbe mikolempa ty tro’e; naho ty fañinofisa’ ty taliñiereñe, heheke t’ie minon-drano, ie mibarakaoke hehe te mbe miheahea, tsy afake i harandrano’ey, hanahake izay ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iaby haname i vohi-Tsioneio.

It shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war against mount Zion.

9 Mijimejimeña naho midebedebea, migoà vaho mitambara ho fèy! jike iereo, fa tsy an-divay! mivembeñe fa tsy an-toake!

Be astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

10 Fa nadoa’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty fañahy mampilañake an-droro; fa nakipe’e ty fihaino’ areo, (o mpitokio); naho fa kinolopo’e ty añambone’ areo (o mpioniñeo).

For Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered.

11 I hene aroñaroñey le ho ama’areo hoe tsara am-boke linite, ie atolo’areo ami’ty mahay mamaky, ami’ty hoe: Ehe, vakio toy, le hoe ty hatoi’e: Tsy mete fa linite.

And the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed.

12 Le ie atolo’areo ami’ty tsy mahay, ami’ty hoe: Vakio toy, le hanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy mahay iraho.

And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.

13 Hoe t’i Talè: Kanao mañarine ahy am-palie, ondaty retoañe naho miasy ahy am-pivimby, ie ahanka’ iareo lavits’ahy o arofo’iareoo, vaho lili’ ondaty avao ty añoha’iareo ho fañeveñañe amako;

And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of men;

14 Inao, hanoeko raha mampañeveñe indraike ondatio: halatsañe mahadaba; ho mongotse ty hihi’ o mahihi’ iareoo naho hikafitse ty hilala’ o mahilala’ iareoo.

therefore, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid.

15 Hankàñe amo mañetake ty fikinià’iareo laleke tsy ho oni’ Iehovào, amo mikitroke raha añ’ieñeio, naho manao ty hoe: Ia ty mahavazoho’ antika? ndra: Ia ty maharofoanañe antika?

Woe unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

16 Hete! akore ty hamengoha’ areo! Hasiñeñe manahake i mpanao valàñe taney hao i litsakey? hanao ty hoe amy namboatsey hao i namboareñey: Tsy ihe ty namboatse ahy. Ndra hanao amy nandrafitse azey ty hoe: Tsy mahilala irehe.

[Oh] your perverseness! — Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

17 Tsy aniany avao hao te havalike ho tonda kobokara ty Lebanone, vaho hatao ala i teteke kobokaray?

Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

18 Amy andro zay, ho janjiñe’ o ­kareñeñeo ty tsara am-boke ao, le boak’ami’ty fimoromoroña’e naho ty fanalinjoña’e ao ty hahaisaha’ ty fihaino’ o feio.

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;

19 Hañonjon-karebehañe am’ Iehovà o tretram-poo, naho handia taroba amy Masi’Israeley o rarake am’ondatio.

and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 Fa hihelañe añe i mpitrotrofiakey, naho hijihetse i mpañìnjey, toe fonga haitoañe o mahimbam-panao ratio;

For the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off,

21 O mampandilatse ondaty an-tsaontsy, naho mamandrike i mizaka an-dalam-beiy, vaho mikatramo ty vantañe an-dreha-borosodeo.

that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.

22 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà mpijebañe i Avrahame, ty amy anjomba’ Iakobey: Tsy ho salatse t’Iakobe henane zao, vaho tsy hiko-mavo i lahara’ey,

Therefore thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale;

23 Ie isa’ o ana’eo o satan-tañako añivo’eo, le havahe’iereo ty añarako Eka! hiasia’ iareo i Masi’ Iakobey, vaho hañeveñe amy Andrianañahare’ Israele.

for when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

24 Le hahilala o mandilatse an-trokeo, vaho hañaom-pañanarañe o miñeoñeoñeo.

And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.
