Isaia 5
1 Ho bekoeko i kokoakoy, toe beko’ i rañeko, ty amy tanem-balobo’ey, Aman-tanem-bahy ankaboan- kobokara añe i kokoakoy.
I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
2 Nitrabahe’e, nahoro’e boak’ao o vato’eo, naketsa’e ao ty vahe soa-joboñe, rinanji’e tilik’abo an-teñateña ao, vaho nitsenea’e fipiritan-divay: le nitamà’e valoboke, f’ie namokatse valoboke vìlañe.
He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!
3 Ie henane zao ry mpimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao, ry ondati’ Iehodào, ihalaliako: mizakà añivoko naho i tondam-balobokoy.
“And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.
4 Ino ka ty hanoako amy tetem-bahekoy, ze mboe tsy nanoeko? Ie nitamàko hamokatse valoboke soa, ro nañomey valoboke lo?
What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?
5 Aa ie zao, hampahafohineko anahareo ty hanoako amy tanem-bahekoy; hombotako i fahe’ey, le horoañe; le harotsako ambane i kijoli’ey, ho lialiàñe.
Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.
6 Hampangoakoaheko, tsy ho birabiraeñe, tsy havaeñe ka; fa hitirian-kisatse naho fatike: ho lilieko ka o rahoñeo ty tsy hampahavy orañe.
I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”
7 Ty anjomba’Israele, ie ty tondam-bahe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, ondati’ Iehodào, i hatae ifalea’ey, nipay to re fe nizò fanjamanañe; nitsoeke havañonañe fe inao ty kaikaike.
For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.
8 Hankàñe amo mampifanoitoy kibohotse an-kivoho, naho tonda toien-tetekeo, ampara’ t’ie tsy malalake, vaho bangy irehe añivo’ i taney.
Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
9 Amo sofikoo ao! hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Toe maro ty anjomba ho kòake, ty jabajaba naho ty fanjaka tsy ho ama’ ondaty.
I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
10 Eka, hamokatse sajoa raike ty tanem-bahe folo lasarý, le hahafoe tsikotoke raike ty tabiry zahetse raike.
For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
11 Hekoheko amo mitroatse handro hitolon-kamamoañeo; o mihenekeneke halem-bey ampara’ t’ie solebaren-divaio.
Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.
12 Amo takataka’ iareo ty marovany naho ty mandolina, ty fikantsakantsàñe vaho ty divay: fe tsy oni’iareo ty sata’ Iehovà, mbore tsy ereñere’ iareo o fitoloñam-pità’eo.
At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.
13 Aa le misese mb’an-drohy ondatikoo, amy te po-hilala, salikoeñe o androanavi’ iareoo, vaho miforejeje ami’ty hataliñiere’e ty valobohò’ iareo.
Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
14 Aa le nienatse ty fañiria’ i tsikeokeokey, nigorobahe’e ty vava’e tsy taka-zeheñe; hijoloboñe ao ty enge’ iareo, ty fivoamboa’e, ty fikoraha’e, rekets’ i mirebekey. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers! (Sheol h7585)
15 Haketrake ty fokonon-tsoa, harèke ty fanalolahy, vaho hampiambaneañe ty fihaino’ o mievotsevotseo:
So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.
16 Ty hatò ro añonjonañe Iehovà’ i Màroy, ty havañonañe ro añamasiñañe i Andrianañahare Masiñe.
But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
17 Hierañerañe am-piandrazañe ao o anak’añondrio, naho hihinañe amo tete- lovodovo’ o vondrakeo ty mpirererere.
Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.
18 Feh’ohatse amo mpikozozo-kakeo an-taly hòakeo, naho o tahiñeo hoe an-talin-tsarete:
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,
19 Ie manao ty hoe: Ee t’ie halisa, hanaentaeñe i fitoloña’ey, hahaoniña’ay aze, le ee te hitotoke eo ty fanoroa’ i Masi’ Israeley homb’etoy hahafohina’ay Aze!
to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
20 Hekoheko ami’ty manao te raty ty soa, naho soa ty raty, o misolo ty ieñe ho hazavàñe naho ty hazavàñe ho ieñeo; o manao ty mafaitse ho mamy vaho ty mamy ho mafaitseo.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
21 Hankàñe amo mahihitse am-pahaoniña’eo, naho o mahilala am-pahaisaha’eo!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
22 Feh’ ohatse o fanalolahy am-pinon-divaio, naho ondaty maozatse am-pampilaroañe toakeo;
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing beer,
23 ie mañatò ty lo-tsereke hahazoam-bokàñe vaho mañafake ty havañona’ o vantañeo!
who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
24 Aa le manahake ty fipiloran-afo ty ahetse, naho ty fampibotseha’ ty lel’afo ty kafokafo’e, ty hañamomohañe ty vaha’ iareo, vaho hiboele hoe deboke o voñe’ iareoo; fa napo’ iareo ty Hà’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, naho nimavoe’ iareo ty nafè’ i Masi’ Israeley.
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Toly ndra miforoforo am’ ondati’eo ty haviñera’ Iehovà, naho natora-kitsi’e am’ iereo ty fità’e, naho trinabotrabo’e; nihondrahondra iaby o tambohoo, natao litsake an-dalambey eo ty lolo’ iareo. Amy hoe zay iaby mbe tsy nivike ty haviñera’e, vaho mbe mihity avao ty fità’e.
Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
26 Hañonjo kobaiñe amo kilakila ondaty tsietoitaneo Re, naho hifioke ama’e boak’ añ’olo-ty tane toy añe, le hehe, hiherereake mb’etoy masika.
He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!
27 Tsy ho am’ iereo ty ho mokotse ndra hitsikapy; tsy eo ty hiroro ndra hirotse; tsy habalake ty sadiam-bania’ iareo, vaho tsy hianto ty fihilin-kana’ iareo;
None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.
28 Masioñe o ana-pale’eo, fonga mivohotse o fale’eo, hoe vato-pilake o tombon-tsoavala’eo, vaho talio o larò’eo;
Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
29 Hirohake hoe liona vave iereo, hiroharoha hoe anan-diona, Eka, mitrè iereo mitsepake i horoñeñey, naho hendese’e añe, ie tsy amam-pandrombake.
Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.
30 Hitròñe amy andro zay iereo, manahake ty fitròña’ i riakey, ie mahaisake i taney, heheke ty hamoromoroñañe, naho faloviloviañe, ndra i hazavañey ro ampigodoñen-drahoñe.
In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
