Isaia 33
1 Hankàñe ama’o ty mpandrotsake, ihe tsy rinotsake; ty mpamañahy, ihe tsy nifañahieñey! ie migadoñe ty fikopaha’o, le ho kopaheñe, ie itroara’o o famañahia’oo, le ho fañahieñe.
Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
2 O ry Iehovà, toloro arofo zahay; fa mandiñe Azo; ehe te Ihe ho fità’ iareo boa’ maraiñe, naho ty fandrombahañe anay an-tsan-koheke.
Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
3 Mampitriban-day ondatio i feon-koràkey; mibaibay o fifeheañeo ami’ty fiongaha’o.
When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
4 Ahoro’e ty kinopa’areo manahake ty añoroña’ ty beañe; hoe fifamorohotan-kijeja ty ifamorohota'iareo.
You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
5 Onjoneñe t’Iehovà an-tiotiots' añe ty fimoneña’e; fa natsafe'e hatò naho havantanañe t’i Tsione.
The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
6 Ie ty hampijadoñe o tao’oo an-kakaliforam-pandrombahañe; ty hihitse naho ty hilala vaho ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà ro toe vara’e.
He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
7 Inao! mangoihoy an-tameañe ey ty lahitsiai’ iareo, mangololoike o sorotàm-pañanintsiñeo.
But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 Vahiny o lalañeo tsy amam-pañavelo, nifotera’e i fañinay, tsinambolitio’e o rovao, tsy haoñe’e ondatio.
Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
9 Mandala o taneo vaho miforejeje; salatse ty Lebanone, miheatse; hoe fatran-tane ty Sarone mihintsam-boa ty Karmele naho i Basane.
Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
10 Hiongake amy zao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà; honjonen-dRaho henaneo, ho rengen-dRaho henane zao.
“But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
11 Mampiareñe kafo’e nahareo, hisamake forompotse; hamorototo anahareo hoe afo ty kofò’areo.
All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
12 Ho tomomoheñe hoe sokày ondatio, hoe fatike finira, nitomontoñe añ’afo,
You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
13 Mijanjiña ry an-tsietoitane añe, ino o nanoekoo? Ry marine eo, iantofo o haozarakoo.
Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
14 Mirevendreveñe o mpanan-kakeo e Tsioneo fihine’ ty fihitikitike ty tsy aman-Kake. ia aman-tika ty hahafitoboke amo afo mamorototoo, ia aman-tika ty hahafimoneñe amo afo manòba nainai’eo?
The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
15 I mpañavelo an-kavantañañe, naho misaontsy an-kavañonañey; ie tsy mañaoñe ty varam-pikatramoañe, i mañelahela fitàñe tsy handrambesa’e vokàñey, ty manjenjen-dravembia tsy ho janjiña’e ze o fampiorihan-dio zao, ie mikipe fihaino tsy hahaisaha’e ty raty.
Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
16 Himoneñe an-kaboañe ey re, kijolim-bato ty ho fipalira’e, hazotso ama’e ty mahakama’e, tsy hisike ty rano’e.
They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
17 Ho isam-pihaino’o ami’ty hatsomerentsere’e i mpanjakay; ho oni’ iareo ty tane mitakatse añe.
You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
18 Hañerehere ty tro’o ty fangebahebahañe: Aia i mpamoliliy, aia i mpandanjay? Aia i mpañiake o fitalakesañ’abooy?
In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
19 Tsy ho isa’o ka ondaty mangosasàkeo; ondaty aman-tsaontsy miheotse tsy fohiñeo, o amam-pameleke mibedobedo tsy rendre’o.
You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
20 Vazohò t’i Tsione, i rovam-pamantaña-masin-tikañey; ho isam-pihaino’o te fimoneñañe mierañerañe t’Ierosalaime, kijoly tsy hahoroñe, amam-pàntake tsy hombotañe, aman-taly tsy ho tampaheñe.
On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
21 Hindre aman-tikañe ami’ty volonahe’e, t’Iehovà, an-toetse amañ’oñe naho torahañe mibànatse; tsy handenà’ ty lakañ’ am-pivey, tsy ho rangaen-tsambo.
Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
22 Toe mpizakan-tika t’Iehovà Mpandily antika t’Iehovà, Mpanjakan-tika t’Iehovà; Ie ty handrombake an-tika.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
23 Fa migebañe o talin-tsambo’oo, tsy mitàñe i fahan-daiy, tsy mamela-day; Akore ty habei’ o kinopake zaraeñeo kanao andivañe amo kepekeo.
The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
24 Tsy hanao ty hoe ty mpitoboke ao: Siloke iraho; Hafahan-kakeo ondaty mimoneñe aoo.
Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
