Isaia 3
1 Hehek’ arè te afaha’ Iehovà Talè’ i màroy am’ Iehodà naho am’ Ierosalaime ty fitoñoñe naho ty kobay, ze mahakama an-driha ao iaby, naho ze hene haja rano,
For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;
2 Ty fanalolahy naho ty lahindefoñe, ty mpizaka naho ty mpitoky, ty mpisikily naho ty androanavy,
The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;
3 Ty mpifeleke limampolo naho ty manan-kasy, ty mpanolo-kevetse, ty kalitake vaho ty mahay lañonañe.
The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.
4 Ho tolorako ajaja ho roandria’e, ho felehe’ o anak’ajajao iereo.
And I will make children their chiefs, and foolish ones will have rule over them.
5 Ho forekekèñe ondatio, sindre ondaty ami’ty ilae’e, songa ami’ty rañe’e hijiajia amo androanavio ty ajaja, naho amo vañoñeo ty tembo.
And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.
6 Le hangazoñe t’indaty ty rahalahi’e añ’anjomban-drae’e ao: Manan-tsikin-drehe: feheo zahay, le angao ho ambane’ fità’o eo ty fianto toy.
When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:
7 Hifanta amy andro zay re: Izaho tsy ho mpanaha; amy te tsy ama-mahakama ndra saroñe ty an-trañoko ao, aa le ko ampifehè’o ahy ondatio.
Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.
8 Amy te nikoletra t’Ierosalaime nihotrake t’Iehodà: songa mandietse Iehovà ty fameleke naho ty fitoloñañe, hanigike o fihainon-enge’eo.
For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.
9 Manisý iareo ty vintan-dahara’ iareo; ie misenge hakeo manahak’ i Sedome, tsy aeta’ iareo. Hekoheko amo tro’ iareoo, fa nikai-kankàñe am-bata’e.
Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.
10 Misaontsia amo vantañeo ty hoe, Soa! fa ho kamae’e o vokam-pitoloña’eo.
Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways.
11 Feh’ohatse amo lo-tserekeo: ho silofeñe: fa havahañe ama’e o satam-pità’eo.
Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.
12 Le ty am’ondatikoo, ty ajaja ro talè’e, naho ampela ro mpifeleke. O ry ondatikoo, ampandilare’ o mpifehe’areoo, abotse’iereo o lala ho norihe’areoo.
As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.
13 Miongake t’Iehovà hitaroñe, mijohañe eo hizaka ondatio.
The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.
14 Ho zakae’ Iehovà o androanavi’ondati’eoo naho o roandria’eo; Amy te nabea’ areo i tanem-balobokey; añ’anjomba’areo ao o tinavañe amo rarakeo.
The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.
15 Ino ty atao’ areo, kanao mampidemoke ondatikoo, vaho mandisañe ty lahara’ o rarakeo? hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè’ i màroy.
By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.
16 Mbore tinovo’ Iehovà ty hoe: Kanao mitoandratoandra o anak’ampela’ i Tsioneo, naho miebotsebotse am-bozo midagarìtse naho ama-maso mikiroke, ie mitsapiotsapiok’ am-piotroñañe, vaho am-pikantsakantsañañe ty tombo’ iareo,
Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:
17 le ho silofe’ i Talè lañao ty an-gadon-doha’ o anak’ampela’ i Tsioneo, vaho habora’ Iehovà ty fimeñara’ iareo.
The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.
18 Hafaha’ i Talè amy andro zay o mohara soa’ iareo mikorìñeo, o ravak’ an-doha’eo, o tsiandetse bontolio,
In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,
19 o rojoo, o bangebangeo o saron-doha mihofahofao,
The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing,
20 o satro-beio, o ravam-pandiao, o ravan-dohao, o fibandian’arañañeo, o kiviroo,
The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,
21 o bangeo naho o kavin’ oroñeo,
The rings, and the nose-jewels,
22 o saravio, naho o salampiñeo, o kitambio naho o haro-pitintiñañeo,
The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags,
23 o hetsoroo, o lamba leny marerarerao, o sabakao vaho o tsingarakarakeo.
The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, and the veils.
24 Ho tondroke te ho limbeze’ ty fitrotrotse ty harifondrifoñe; handimbe ty fiètse ty hàfotse; handimbe ty volo mirandra ty loha peake; handimbe ty marerarera ty gony; hisolo ty montramontra ty soba.
And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.
25 Ho zamaneñe am-pibara o lahilahi’oo, an-kotakotak’ ao o lahindefo’oo.
Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.
26 Handala naho hangololoike o lalam-bei’eo; ho farien-dre le hitozoke an-tane eo.
And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.
