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 apostate children, says the Lord: you have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:

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.

[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.

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

For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.

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

For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.

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

In vain shall they labor [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a shame and 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 VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which shall not profit them.

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

The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.

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

Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.

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

For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:

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.

who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;

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

and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.

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;

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because you have murmured, and been confident in this respect:

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 shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.

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 the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that you should not find among them a sherd, with which you might take up fire, and with which you should draw a little water.

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

Thus says the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When you shall turn and mourn, then you shall be saved; and you shall know where you were, when you did trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet you would not listen:

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 you said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; 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.

A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until you be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon 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 the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon 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 holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity you: when he perceived the voice of your cry, he listened to you.

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 shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause you to err shall no more at all draw near to you; for your eyes shall see those that cause you to err,

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 your ears shall hear the words of them that went after you to lead you astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or 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 you shall pollute the plated idols, and you shall grind to powder the gilt ones, and shall scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and you shall thrust them forth as dung.

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.

Then shall there be rain to the seed of your land; and the bread of the fruit of your land shall be plenteous and rich: and your cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.

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

Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.

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, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall 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.

And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of your 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 the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as 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, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.

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.

Must you always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must you go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God 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 the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.

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

For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall strike them.

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 it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.

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 you shall be required before [your] time: has it been prepared for you also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for you] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
