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.
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
2 Iforoforoa’ Iehovà o fifeheañeo, ifomboa’e iaby o lahindefo’eo; fa zinama’e iereo, nasese’e ho mongoreñe.
For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up to slaughter.
3 Havokovoko alafe ao o vinono am’iareoo, hakare’ o loloo ty fañati-fofo’e, hidoandoañe amo vohitseo ty lio’ iareo,
Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down 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.
And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the 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.
For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And 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.
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 Fa aman’andro hamalea’e t’Iehovà, taoñe hañondroha’e i Tsione.
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 Hovaeñe ho lokotara o toraha’eo, ho solifara o lembo’eo; hene hifotetse ho lokotara milebaleba o tane’eo.
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
10 Tsy hakipeke handro ndra haleñe, hitolom-pionjoñe avao ty hatoe’e; ho kòake an-tariratse an-tariratse, tsy hirangañe nainai’e donia.
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
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 pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 O roandria’eo, tsy eo ty ho kanjieñe ho mpanjaka; kila ho mongotse o ana-dona’eo.
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
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 shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
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.
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of 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 also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her 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.
Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
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 shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
