Isaia 32
1 Oniño te hifelek’ an-kavañonañe ty mpanjaka, vaho hifehe an-katò o roandriañeo.
See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.
2 Le hanahake ty fipalirañe ami’ty tioke t’indaty, naho hoe fitampiñañe ami’ty lihits’ orañe, hoe rano mitsiritsioke an-tane kànkañe, hambañe ami’ty tevam-bato ialofañe an-tane kirikintañe ao.
And a man will be as a safe place from the wind, and a cover from the storm; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a waste land.
3 Le tsy hakipe ty fihaino’ o mahaisakeo; vaho hitsendreñe ty ravembia mahajanjiñe.
And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.
4 Haharendre-kilala ty fivetsevetse bei-àreke, hiaren-tsaontsy ty famele’ o mènekeo.
The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.
5 Tsy hatao vañoñe ka ty dagola, le tsy hatao matarike ty tsivokatse;
The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
6 Amy te mivolam-borosode ty gege, mikitro-draha raty ty tro’e, hitoloñe tsy aman-Kake, hivolañ’ ota am’ Iehovà, kefohe’e ty tro’ i saliko, vaho kapaihe’e ty fitovi’ i taliñiereñey.
For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.
7 Tsy vente’e ty harao’ o tsivokatseo; kiniae’e loza an-tambaimbaiñe o rarakeo, ndra te mivolan-to i misotriy.
The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.
8 Misafiry fatarihañe ty matarike, naho i fatariha’e ty ijadoña’e.
But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.
9 Miongaha ry rakemba miagarègañeo, janjiño o feokoo; ry anak’ampela mitabonìtseo anoloro sofiñe o lañonakoo.
Give ear to my voice, you women who are living in comfort; give attention to my words, you daughters who have no fear of danger.
10 Ho ampoheke nahareo te peake ty taoñe tovoñañ’ andro ry tsidaredareo; fa tsy hamokatse o vaheo, tsy ho toly i fanontonañey.
In not much more than a year, you, who are not looking for evil, will be troubled: for the produce of the vine-gardens will be cut off, and there will be no getting in of the grapes.
11 Mititititiha, ry miaiñañoleñañeo, mimahimahiña ry miandrañandrañeo; mañametsametsà, miboridaña, misikina gony an-tohake
Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.
12 Mikabokaboha araña ty amo tonda nisoao, naho amo vahe niregoregoo,
Have sorrow for the fields, the pleasing fields, the fertile vine;
13 ty amy tane-hoba’ ondatikoy, ie itiriam-patike naho hisatse; eka, ty amo anjomba mitsinjakeo vaho i rova mandia taròbay.
And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.
14 Fa kòake i anjombam-panjakay, babangoañe i rova nitsitsike ondatiy; fa lakato nainai’e ty haboa naho ty fijilovañ’abo fa fitsamboañam-birike lý naho fiandraza’ o lia-raikeo
For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;
15 ampara’ te adoañe amantika ty Arofo boak’ añ’abo, ie ho tete-kobokara ty ratraratra, vaho atao ty hoe ala ty tonda vokatse.
Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.
16 Himoneñe am-patrambey ao amy zao ty hatò, vaho hañialo an-tonda kobokara ao ty havantañañe.
Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.
17 Hamokatse fierañerañañe ty havañonañe, hahatoly fianjiñañe naho fatokisañe nainai’e ty hamarentane.
And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.
18 Hitoboke añ’akibam-pañanintsiñe ondatikoo, naho am-pipaliran-tsoa, vaho am-pitofàñe mipendreñe.
And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.
19 Manahake te mihotrake ty amy havandray i alay; t’ie harèke ambane i rovay.
But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
20 Haha nahareo mpitongy añ’olon-drano iabio, o mampidada ty tombo’ o añombeo naho o borìkeo.
Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.
