< Isaia 47 >

1 Mizotsoa, mitoboha an-debok’ ao, ry anak’ampela’ i Bavele; mitozoha an-tane eo tsy amam-piambesatse, ry anak’ampela’ i Kasdý; fa tsy hatao mitrotrotrotro ndra sakoly ka irehe.
"Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Rambeso i vato fandisanañey naho lisano i tsakoy; afaho o lamba marerarera’oo, voloso o mireparepao, aonjono ty an-kitso’o eo, itsaho o sakao.
Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 Haboake ty fibongia’o; ho trea ty fimeñara’o; hamale fate raho vaho tsy eo ty hanebañe ahy.
Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
4 I Mpijeba’ay, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, i Masi’ Israeley.
says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Mitoboha am-pitsiñañe ao, akia mb’an-kamoromoroñañe ao, ry anak’ampela’ o Kasdio, tsy hatao mpanjakam-pifeheañe ka irehe.
"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Niboseke am’ondatikoo iraho, vinetako i lovakoy, vaho natoloko am-pità’o, fa tsy niferenaiña’o, nanoe’o mavesatse amo antetseo ty joka’o.
I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
7 Ie nanoe’o ty hoe, Ho mpanjaka-­ampela nainai’e iraho, le tsy nahaja’o an-troke ao o raha zao, vaho tsy nitiahi’o ty figadoña’e.
You said, 'I shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
8 Aa le tsanoño izao, ty mpañori-kadrao, ty mpiaiñ’añoleñañe, ty manao an-tro’e ao ty hoe: Tsy hitoboke ho remavoin-draho, hamoeako ty fahamotsoan’ anake.
"Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:'
9 Fa hivotrak’ama’o ami’ty andro raike o raha roe zao: ty hamotsoan’anake, naho ty ha-remavoiñe; am-pañaranañe pea t’ie hifetsake ndra te tsifotofoto’ o famoreha’oo, naho maozatse ty fisikilia’o.
but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10 Natao’o mahasoa-aro ty halò-tsere’o, ihe nanao ty hoe: Tsy eo ty mahatrea ahy. Songa nampikeloke azo ty hihi’o naho ty hilala’o; ie nanao ty hoe an-troke ao: Izaho ro ie, vaho tsy ie naho tsy izaho avao.
For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me.'
11 Aa le hifetsake ama’o ty raty; tsy ho lefe’o troboeñe hisitaha’e; hidoiñe ama’o ty hankàñe; tsy ho lefe añeferañe; hivovò ama’o ty fiànto, aolo’ te apota’o.
Therefore disaster will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
12 Mijadòña arè amo fisikilia’oo, naho amo fitozantozam-pamoreha’oo, o nitoloñe’o ampara’ ty nahakede azoo; ke ho tambeza’e, he hahafitroboe’o.
"Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
13 Ie nimokore’ o fikililia’oo; angao hiongake henaneo arè o mpañandroo, naho o mpañorike vasiañeo, naho o mpahay volañeo, handrombak’ azo amo hifetsak’ ama’oo.
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
14 Heheke, fa manahake ty ahetse iereo, ho forototoen’ afo; ie tsy haharombake ami’ty haozara’ i firebareba’ey; tsy ama’e ty vaen’ afo hitaraña’e, toe tsy ho afo hamindroañe.
Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
15 Hoe izay iereo ama’o, o nifanehafa’oo; songa hirererere mb’an-toe’e mb’eo o nitrao-balibalike ama’o boak’ ami’ty naha-ajaja azoo, tsy ho amam-pandrombake irehe.
Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
