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, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt 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: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Haboake ty fibongia’o; ho trea ty fimeñara’o; hamale fate raho vaho tsy eo ty hanebañe ahy.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
4 I Mpijeba’ay, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e, i Masi’ Israeley.
[As for] 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 thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady 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 wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy 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.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst 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.
Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thy heart, I [am], and none else 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 thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thy enchantments.
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 thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, I [am], and none else 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 shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.
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 thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth; if thou shalt be able to profit, if thou mayest 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.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.
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.
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
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 they be to thee with whom thou hast labored, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
