Isaia 5
1 Ho bekoeko i kokoakoy, toe beko’ i rañeko, ty amy tanem-balobo’ey, Aman-tanem-bahy ankaboan- kobokara añe i kokoakoy.
Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful 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, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 Ie henane zao ry mpimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao, ry ondati’ Iehodào, ihalaliako: mizakà añivoko naho i tondam-balobokoy.
“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please 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 could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
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 will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6 Hampangoakoaheko, tsy ho birabiraeñe, tsy havaeñe ka; fa hitirian-kisatse naho fatike: ho lilieko ka o rahoñeo ty tsy hampahavy orañe.
I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain 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 Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, 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 those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of 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.
In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 Eka, hamokatse sajoa raike ty tanem-bahe folo lasarý, le hahafoe tsikotoke raike ty tabiry zahetse raike.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 Hekoheko amo mitroatse handro hitolon-kamamoañeo; o mihenekeneke halem-bey ampara’ t’ie solebaren-divaio.
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
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.
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation 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 go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes 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 has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Haketrake ty fokonon-tsoa, harèke ty fanalolahy, vaho hampiambaneañe ty fihaino’ o mievotsevotseo:
So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Ty hatò ro añonjonañe Iehovà’ i Màroy, ty havañonañe ro añamasiñañe i Andrianañahare Masiñe.
but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 Hierañerañe am-piandrazañe ao o anak’añondrio, naho hihinañe amo tete- lovodovo’ o vondrakeo ty mpirererere.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
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 falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
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!
who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, 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 put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 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 prudent in their own sight!
22 Feh’ ohatse o fanalolahy am-pinon-divaio, naho ondaty maozatse am-pampilaroañe toakeo;
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 ie mañatò ty lo-tsereke hahazoam-bokàñe vaho mañafake ty havañona’ o vantañeo!
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
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 the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, 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 Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
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 will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
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;
No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 Masioñe o ana-pale’eo, fonga mivohotse o fale’eo, hoe vato-pilake o tombon-tsoavala’eo, vaho talio o larò’eo;
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels 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 will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
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.
They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
