< Isaia 31 >

1 Feh-ohatse amo mizotso mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hipay olotse, miato aman-tsoavala, naho mirampy an-­tsarete kanao maro, vaho amo mpiningitse ama’eo katao maozatse; f’ie tsy mitolike amy Masi’ Israele, tsy paia’ iareo t’Iehovà!
Woe vnto them that goe downe into Egypt for helpe, and stay vpon horses, and trust in charets, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they be very strong: but they looke not vnto the holy one of Israel, nor seeke vnto the Lord.
2 Fa mahihitse ka re hindesa’e hankàñe, vaho tsy hampoli’e o tsara’eo; f’ie hiongake hiatreatre ty anjomba’ o lo-tserekeo naho ty fañimba’ o mikitro-karatiañeo.
But he yet is wisest: therefore he wil bring euill, and not turne backe his worde, but he will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the helpe of them that worke vanitie.
3 Ondaty ‘nio o nte-Mitsraimeo fa tsy Andrianañahare, naho nòfotse o soavala’eo fa tsy angatse; aa le hatora-kitsi’ Iehovà ty fità’e, le hitsikapy ty mpañimba naho hikorovoke i imbaeñey, vaho songa hitrao-pihotrake.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirite: and when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, the helper shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall, and they shall altogether faile.
4 Fa hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hambañe ami’ty liona naho ty liona tora’e, ie mitromoroñe ambone’ i nitsàtsa’ey, ndra te maro ty mpiarak’añondry nikoiheñe ty ama’e, tsy mañembañe aze ty feo’ iareo, tsy mañembetse aze ty fikorà’ iareo; izay ty hizotsoa’ Iehovà’ i Màroy hialia’e am-bohi-Tsione, naho an-kaboa’e eo;
For thus hath the Lord spoken vnto me, As the lyon or lyons whelpe roareth vpon his praye, against whom if a multitude of shepheards be called, hee will not be afraide at their voyce, neither will humble him selfe at their noise: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
5 Manahake ty fihelahela’ o voroñeo, ty hañarova’ Iehovà’ i Màroy t’Ierosalaime; katao mañaro, mamotsotse, kanao ihelaña’e ambone, mandrombake.
As birds that flie, so shall the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem by defending and deliuering, by passing through and preseruing it.
6 Mitoliha amy loho niolà’ areoy, ry ana’ Israeleo.
O ye children of Israel, turne againe, in as much as ye are sunken deepe in rebellion.
7 Ie amy andro zay, songa hañary ze sare-sokim-bolafoti’e naho o saren-draha volamena’eo, o tsinene am-­pitañe aman-kakeoo.
For in that day euery man shall cast out his idoles of siluer, and his idoles of golde, which your handes haue made you, euen a sinne.
8 Toe hampikorovohe’ ty fibara tsy a’ ondaty ty Asore; ty fibara tsy a’ ondaty ty hamotsek’ aze; aa le tsy hibotatsaha’e i fibaray, vaho ho mpitorom-pamorekèke o ajalahi’eo.
Then shall Asshur fall by the sworde, not of man, neither shall the sworde of man deuoure him, and hee shall flee from the sworde, and his yong men shall faint.
9 Hihelañe añe am-pirevendreveñañe i hafatrara’ey, naho hitsolofìñe amy saiñey o mpifehe’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, an-Tsione ao ty afo’e vaho e Ierosalaime ao ty toña’e.
And he shall go for feare to his towre, and his princes shall be afraide of the standart, sayeth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
