Isaia 30

1 Hankàñe amo anake miolao, hoe t’Iehovà, misafiry iareo fe tsy ahiko; mandahatse tolon-draha, fa tsy an-Troko, ie hanovoñe hakeo naho tahiñe.

Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

2 O mijelañe mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo fe tsy nañontane am-bavakoo; hitsoloha’ iareo ty kijoli’ i Parò naho hipalitse an-­talinjo’ i Mitsraime.

that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

3 Aa le hifotetse ho hameñarañe ty kijoli’ i Parò, vaho ho salatse nahareo te mipalitse an-talinjo’ i Mitsraime.

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

4 Toe e Tsoane ao o roandria’eo, naho e Kanese ao o sorotà’eo.

For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.

5 Hene salatse ondatio am’ondaty tsy mahasoa iareo, tsy mañimba tsy mampitombo, te mone heñatse naho inje.

They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

6 Ty entañe ty amo bibi’ atimoo. ie hiranga tane manosotse naho mañore, ami’ty hirifa’ o liona rene’eo naho i liona lahi’ey, ty lapetake naho ty fandrefeala mibelañ’afo; asese’ iareo an-tsorom-borìke tora’e ty vara’ iareo, naho an-trafon- drameva ty fanaña’ areo, mb’am’ondaty tsy hahasoa.

The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them].

7 Kafoake ty imba’ i Mitsraime, toe tsy manjofake, aa le nitokaveko ty hoe: Rahabe mihisetse.

For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.

8 Akia arè, sorato an-takelake añatrefa’ iareo eo, vaho sokiro am-boke ao, ho amo andro añeo ho fitaliliañe nainai’e.

Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.

9 Amy t’ie ondaty miola, anake mavande, ajaja tsy mete mitsanoñe o Tsara’ Iehovào;

For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;

10 ie manao amo mpioniñeo ty hoe: Ko mioniñe, naho amo mpitokio, Ko mitoky ama’ay ty hahiti’e; taroño ama’ay ty raha mora, mitokia famañahiañe.

that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

11 Isitaho o lalañeo, idisaho i lalam-bantañey, ajihero tsy ho aolo’ay t’i Masi’ Israele.

get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12 Aa le hoe t’i Masi’ Israele, kanao tsambolitio’ areo ty tsara toy, naho miato ami’ty famorekekeañe naho ty hamengohañe, vaho mipitek’ ama’e;

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

13 le ho ama’ areo i hakeo zay, manahake ty heba an-kijoly te higorobañe, ie miboenatse an-kijolim-bato abo ey, vaho migorogodeboñe amy zao ty fihotraha’e;

therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.

14 ie hiparaitsake hoe valañem-panao valàñe tane, le akore ty fipoñafa’e kanao tsy ahatreavañe ndra tsila’e amo biliti’e niparatsakeo hahatintinañe vaen’afo boak’am-patañe ao, ndra ty hanilofañe rano hirik’ an-kadaha ao.

And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

15 Aa hoe t’i Talè Iehovà, Masi’ Israele; ty fisolohoañe naho fihendreañe ty maharombake anahareo; toe fianjiñañe naho fatokisañe ro haozara’ areo. Fe tsy nipaoke nahareo

For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:

16 te mone ty hoe: Aiy avao! hioratse an-tsoavala zahay! — toe hivoratsake nahareo! naho, Hiningitse an-tsoavala lahi’e mahafitsontike zahay— aa le hipirirìtse ka o mañoridañe anahareoo!

but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

17 Arivo ty hibioñe ami’ty fañembaña’ ty raike, hitriban-day nahareo ami’ty fañembaña’ ty lime, ampara’ t’ie miereñereñe hoe hazolahy an-kaboañe eñe, hoe viloñe ambone vohitse ey.

One thousand [shall flee] at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

18 Toe mandiñe te hañisoke anahareo t’Iehovà; hitretrèza’e boak’ añ’abo ao. Fa Andrianañaharen-katò t’Iehovà; haha iaby o mitamà Azeo.

And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.

19 Ry ondaty e Tsione, mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, tsy hirovetse ka nahareo; Ie hatarike ama’o ty amy feom-pikaiha’oy, hanoiñe kanao mahajanjiñe azo.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee.

20 Aa ndra t’ie nazotso’ i Talè mofon-kasotriañe naho ranon-kaloviloviañe, tsy hietake an-kotsok’ ao ka i Mpañòke azoy. le ho isam-pihaino’oo i Mpañana’oy;

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;

21 Ho janjiñen-dravembia’o ty saontsy am-boho’o ao manao ty hoe: Intoy ty lalañe, añavelò, naho itsile’o mb’ankavana ndra mb’ankavia.

and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

22 Le ho tivà’ areo o sare-­sokitse nipakoreñe volafotio, naho o sare trinanake nohoñem-bolamenao, ho faohe’ areo añe hoe raha maleotse; vaho hanoa’o ty hoe, Soike!

And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

23 Le ho tolora’e orañe ty tabiry ho tongise’o an-tane eo, hampitomboañe mahakama boak’ an-tane ao, ho kobokara vaho hiregorego; hangadagadañe ty fiandraza’ o añombe’oo amy andro zay.

And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;

24 Mbore hihinañe hane nisorobaeñe o añombe naho birìke mpitrabake taneo, ie fa nitsongae’ ty letsoro naho firango.

the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

25 Kila vohitse abo, naho ze hene haboañe, ro hikararahan-­drano an-torahañe— amy androm-panjamanañey, ie mihotrake o fitalakesañ’ aboo.

And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26 Hanahake ty hazavà’ i àndroy i volañey, le ho impìto ty hazavà’ i àndroy, mira ami’ty hazavan-andro fito, amy andro ampibandia’ Iehovà ty fere’ ondati’eoy, vaho hampimelañe’e o naràn-dafa’eo.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

27 Hehe te mb’atoy boak’ an-­tsietoiañe ty tahina’ Iehovà, miforoforo ami’ty haviñera’e, milodolodo o hatoe’eo; pea-pifombo o fivimbi’eo, vaho hoe afo mamorototo i famele’ey.

Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;

28 Torahañe manganahana ty kofò’e, mahatakatse am-bozo, ho tsongà’e o kilakila’ndatio ami’ty tsikelom-pandrebahañe; vaho ho am-balañorà’ ondatio ty laboridy mampandilatse.

and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples.

29 Hanan-tsabo hoe amy haleñe fañambena’areo i sabadidakey nahareo; naho hafalean-troke manahake ty fionjonañe am-peon-tsoly mb’am-bohi’ Iehovà mb’an-damilami’ Israele mb’eo.

Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

30 Le hampijanjiñe’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’e lifots’ engeñe, naho hampahaisaha’e ty fivangoam-pità’e mañambane ami’ty fitrotrofiaha’ i haviñera’ey ami’ty fisotratràhan’ afo hamorototo, ami’ty fiporitsahan-drahoñe naho ty fikojojoahan’ orañe vaho ty havandra-gadaboñe.

And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.

31 Hampangebahebake i Asore ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà ie fofohe’e an-kobay.

For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he smite [him].

32 Le ze fandafàn-kobaim-pandilovañe apao’ Iehovà ama’e, harahem-­pikantsañañe naho jejo-bory; le am-piekotsekòran-kotakotake, ty hialia’e am’ iareo.

And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with [the sound of] tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing [of his arm] will he fight with them.

33 Fa nihajarieñe haehae ty Topete, hinalankañe ho a’ i mpanjakay, laleke naho mangorabake; afo manodotse an-katae tsifotofoto; viañe’ ty kofò’ Iehovà, hoe t’ie fifororoahan-tsolifara.

For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
