Isaiah 9
1 At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.
Fa tsy hanjombona mandrakariva ilay efa nozoim-pahoriana. Tamin’ ny taloha dia nataony tsinontsinona ny tany Zebolona sy ny tany Naftaly; Fa amin’ ny aoriana kosa dia homeny voninahitra ny lalana eo amoron-dranomasina, any an-dafin’ i Jordana, Dia Galilia, tanin’ ny jentilisa.
2 The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.
Ny olona izay mandeha amin’ ny maizina dia mahita mazava lehibe; Izay mitoetra amin’ ny tany aloky ny fahafatesana no iposahan’ ny mazava.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.
Hamaroinao ity firenena ity, Ary ampitomboinao ny hafaliany; Mifaly eo anatrehanao izy tahaka ny hafaliana amin’ ny fararano, ary tahaka ny fifalin’ ny olona, raha mizara babo.
4 For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou best overcome, as in the day of Median.
Fa ny bao fitondran-entany sy ny tsorakazo nikapohana ny lamosiny; Izay tsorakazon’ ny mpampiasa azy, Dia tapahinao tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro namelezana ny Midiana.
5 For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.
Fa ny kiraron’ izay mitrevatreva fandeha eo amin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny ady sy ny fitafiana mihosindra dia samy hodoroana, eny, ho kitay hatohoka amin’ ny afo izany.
6 For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
Fa Zaza no teraka ho antsika, Zazalahy no omena antsika; Ary ny fanapahana dia eo an-tsorony, ary ny anarany atao hoe Mahagaga, Mpanolo-tsaina, Andriamanitra Mahery, Rain’ ny mandrakizay Andrian’ ny fiadanana.
7 His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Ny handrosoan’ ny fanapahana sy ny fiadanana dia tsy hanam-pahataperana Eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida sy ny fanjakany, mba hampiorenana sy hampitoerana azy amin’ ny rariny sy ny hitsiny hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay; ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hahatanteraka izany.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Ny Tompo mandefa teny ho an’ i Jakoba, ka mihatra amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
9 And all the people of Ephraim shall know, and the inhabitants of Samaria that say in the pride and haughtiness of their heart:
Ary ho fantatr’ izy iray firenena izany, dia Efraima sy ny mponina any Samaria, izay miteny amin’ ny fiavonavonany sy ny fireharehan’ ny fony manao hoe:
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars.
Biriky no efa nirodana, fa vato voapaika kosa no harafitsika; Aviavy no voakapa, fa sedera kosa no hasolontsika azy.
11 And the Lord shall set up the enemies of Rasin over him, and shall bring on his enemies in a crowd:
Ary Jehovah manandratra ny rafilahin-dRezina hihoatra azy Ary mamporisika ny fahavalony,
12 The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth, For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Dia ny Syriana avy any atsinanana sy ny Filistina avy any andrefana; Ary misanasana vava mandrapaka ny Isiraely ireo. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tanany.
13 And the people are not returned to him who hath struck them, and have not sought after the Lord of hosts.
Fa ny olona tsy miverina amin’ Izay mamely azy, Eny, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tsy mba tadiaviny.
14 And the Lord shall destroy out of Israel the head and the tail, him that bendeth down, and him that holdeth back, in one day.
Ka dia nofongoran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely indray andro monja Ny loha sy ny rambo, ny sampan-drofia sy ny zozoro
15 The aged and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
(Ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja no loha, ary ny mpaminany izay mampianatra lainga no rambo);
16 And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down headlong.
Fa ny mpitarika ity firenena ity no tonga mpampivily azy, Ary izay tarihiny dia voatelina.
17 Therefore the Lord shell have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his bend is stretched out still.
Ary noho izany dia tsy mahafaly an’ i Jehovah ny zatovony, ary ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena ao aminy dia tsy iantrany; Fa samy mpihatsaravelatsihy sy mpanao ratsy izy, ary ny vava rehetra mamoaka teny fahadalana. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
18 For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high.
Fa ny faharatsiana mandoro tahaka ny afo, Mandevona ny tsilo sy ny hery ary mampirehitra ny ala mikirindro ka mitambolimbolina tahaka ny setroka misavoana.
19 By the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is troubled, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia efa maintin’ ny afo ny tany, ary ny olona dia tahaka ny kitay atohoka amin’ ny afo; Tsy misy olona miantra ny rahalahiny
20 And he shall turn to the right hand, and shall be hungry: and shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be filled: every one shell eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasses Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they together shall be against Juda.
Ary mandripaka eny ankavanana izy nefa noana ihany; Ary mandany eny an-kavia izy, nefa tsy voky ihany; Samy mihinana ny nofon-tsandriny avy izy rehetra,
21 After all these things his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Eny, Manase mihinana an’ i Efraima, ary Efraima kosa mihinana an’ i Manase, Ary izy roa tonta dia miara-mamely an’ i Joda. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.
