Isaia 34
1 Mitotoha hijanjiñe ry fifeheañeo, mitsendreña ry ondatio! Mitsanoña ry tane, naho ze halifora’e; ty voatse toy naho ze hene aboa’e.
Come close, you nations, and listen! You peoples, pay attention! Hear these words everyone who lives on earth, and all that comes from it!
2 Iforoforoa’ Iehovà o fifeheañeo, ifomboa’e iaby o lahindefo’eo; fa zinama’e iereo, nasese’e ho mongoreñe.
The Lord's anger is against all the nations and his fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them; he will have them slaughtered.
3 Havokovoko alafe ao o vinono am’iareoo, hakare’ o loloo ty fañati-fofo’e, hidoandoañe amo vohitseo ty lio’ iareo,
Those who are killed won't be buried; the stink of their bodies will rise; mountains will be washed away with their blood.
4 Ho momoke i valobohòn-dindiñey, le hapeleke hoe tihy o likerañeo; hene hihintsañe ty fifamorohota’ iareo manahake ty fiforejejen-dravem-bahe, vaho i miheatse an-tsakoañey.
The sun, moon, and stars of heaven will fade away, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll. All the stars will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine, like dried-up figs from a fig tree.
5 Fa àtsa-dio andikerañe ao ty fibarako, hehe t’ie mizotso mb’ Edome mb’eo henaneo hizaka, mb’am’ondaty nafàko harotsakeo.
After my sword has finished what it has to do in the heavens, it will come down on Edom, on the people I have doomed for destruction.
6 Etsa-dio ty fibara’ Iehovà, nampivondrahen-tsolike, ami’ty lio’ o añondrio naho o oseo, ami’ty safom-boan-kobatroke; fa manañe fisoroñañe e Botsrà añe t’Iehovà, naho fanjamanañe an-tane Edome ao.
The sword of the Lord is coated in blood and covered with fat—the blood of lambs and goats, and the fat of rams' kidneys. For there is a sacrifice for Lord happening in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Hindre ama’e hizotso o ndrimoo, o baniao rekets’ o maozatseo; le ho kotsa-dio ty tane’ iareo, vaho ho bobohen-tsolike ty debo’ iareo.
Wild ox will fall with them, the young bulls along with the mature ones. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil soaked with fat.
8 Fa aman’andro hamalea’e t’Iehovà, taoñe hañondroha’e i Tsione.
For the Lord has a day of punishment, a year of retribution, for the trouble caused to Zion.
9 Hovaeñe ho lokotara o toraha’eo, ho solifara o lembo’eo; hene hifotetse ho lokotara milebaleba o tane’eo.
Edom's streams will be turned into tar, its soil into sulfur, and her land will become burning tar!
10 Tsy hakipeke handro ndra haleñe, hitolom-pionjoñe avao ty hatoe’e; ho kòake an-tariratse an-tariratse, tsy hirangañe nainai’e donia.
The fire will burn day and night, and will never go out, its smoke will rise forever. From one generation to the next it will remain desolate—people won't ever go there again.
11 Ho fanañan-tangongo naho sama ty ao, ho fimoneñam-borondolo naho koàke, ho vavare’e ama’e ty talin-kakoahañe naho ty talim-polò hakapaihañe.
The desert owl and screech owl will take it over, and the eagle owl and raven will live there. The Lord will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of destruction and a plumb line of desolation.
12 O roandria’eo, tsy eo ty ho kanjieñe ho mpanjaka; kila ho mongotse o ana-dona’eo.
Its nobles won't have anything to call a kingdom; all its princes will be gone.
13 Fatike ty hitiry amo fijilova’e fatratseo, hìsatse naho ropiteke amo kijoli’eo; ho fitoboha’ o fanalokeo, naho ty fanozora’ o voron-tsatrañeo.
Thorns will grow over its palaces; weeds and thistles will take over its fortresses. It will be a place where jackals live, a home for owls.
14 Ho fikaoña’ ty farasy naho ty fanaloke, hikoike o hamaroa’eo ty ose-lý; Eka, hitoboke ao ty voron-dolo, ho tendreke ao ty fitofa’e.
It will be a meeting place for desert animals and hyenas, and wild goats will call to each other there. Night animals will settle there and find a place to rest.
15 Hamboare’ i lapetakey ty traño’e naho hifana ao, naho hamoy, vaho hatonto’e ambane’ talinjo’eo, hifamory ao ty vantio, songa amam-bali’e.
There the owl will build its nest, lay and hatch its eggs, and raise its chicks in the shade of its wings. It has become a roost for birds of prey, each one with its mate.
16 Kodebeo ty boke’ Iehovà, le vakio: tsy am’iereo ty ho motso, sindre ho amam-bali’e; i falie’ey ty nandily, le i arofo’ey ty nanontoñe iareo.
Look in the scroll of the Lord and read what it says: Not a single one of these will be missing its mate, for the Lord has ordered this to happen, and his Spirit has gathered them together.
17 Niazo’e an-tsapake iareo, le zinaram-pità’e am’iereo an-taly o anjara’eo; ho fanaña’ iareo nainai’e, tariratse an-tariratse ty fimoneña’ iareo.
He assigns them their territories, he divides up the land for them using a measuring line. These birds and animals will own it forever, from one generation to the next.
