Isaiah 29
1 Ho! Ariel, Ariel, the town against which David made war; put year to year, let the feasts come round:
Lozan’ i Ariela’, lozan’ i Ariela, Tanàna nitoeran i Davida! Ampio taona ny taona, aoka ho tafatsingeringerina ny andro firavoravoana;
2 And I will send trouble on Ariel, and there will be weeping and cries of grief; and she will be to me as Ariel.
Dia hampahory an’ i Ariela Aho, ka hisy fisentoana sy fitarainana ao aminy; Ary ho tonga Ariela tokoa amiko izy.
3 And I will make war on you like David, and you will be shut in by earthworks, and I will make towers round you.
Ary hanao fahiranao anao Aho, ka hasiako miaramila hanemitra anao, ary hananganako manda hamelezana anao.
4 And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.
Dia haetry ianao ka hiteny ao amin’ ny tany, ary ao amin’ ny vovoka no hibitsibitsihanao, eny, ny feonao hivoaka avy amin’ ny tany tahaka ny an’ ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra, ary avy ao amin’ ny vovoka no ikiakiahan’ ny teninao.
5 And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.
Kanefa ny fahavalonao betsaka ho tonga tahaka ny vovoka madinika, ary ny olon-dozabe maro ho tahaka ny akofa indaosina; Eny, ho avy tampoka dia tampoka izany.
6 The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.
Avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hihavian’ ny famaliana, dia kotrokorana sy horohoron-tany ary rohondrohona mafy, tadio sy tafio-drivotra ary lelafo mandevona.
7 And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.
Ary ho tahaka ny fahitana eo amin’ ny nofy amin’ ny alina Ireo firenena betsaka rehetra ireo, izay mivory hamely an’ i Ariela, dia izay rehetra mivory hamely azy sy ny mandany ka hampahatahotra azy.
8 And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.
Ary ho tahaka ny olona noana manonofy, fa, indro, mihinana izy; kanjo nony mahatsiaro, dia noana ihany izy; Na ho tahaka ny olona mangetaheta manonofy, fa, indro, misotro izy; kanjo nony mahatsiaro, indro, ana ihany izy, ary ny fanahiny mbola maniry ihany: Dia ho tahaka izany ireo firenena betsaka rehetra ireo Izay mivory hamely ny tendrombohitra Ziona.
9 Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.
Mijanona ianareo, ka mitalanjona, Tampeno ny masonareo, koa aoka ho jamba ianareo! Mamo ireo, nefa tsy tamin’ ny divay; Mivembena izy, nefa tsy tamin’ ny toaka.
10 For the Lord has sent on you a spirit of deep sleep; and by him your eyes, the prophets, are shut, and your heads, the seers, are covered.
Fa Jehovah efa nampidina fanahy mahasondrian-tory ao aminareo, ary efa nakimpiny ny masonareo (dia ny mpaminany izany), ary efa nosaronany ny lohanareo (dia ny mpahita izany).
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:
Ary ny fahitana ny amin’ izany rehetra izany raha aminareo dia tahaka ny teny amin’ ny taratasy voaisy tombo-kase, izay atolotra olona mahavaky teny ka atao hoe: Masìna ianao, vakio ity; Fa hoy izy: Tsy azoko vakina, fa efa voaisy tombo-kase izy;
12 And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.
Fa raha atolotra izay tsy mahavaky teny kosa izany ka atao hoe: Masìna ianao, vakio ity, dia hoy izy: Tsy mahavaky teny aho.
13 And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;
Ary hoy ny Tompo: Satria manatona Ahy amin’ ny vavany ity firenena ity ary mankalaza Ahy amin’ ny molony, nefa ampanalaviriny Ahy kosa ny fony, ka ny fahatahorany Ahy dia didin’ olombelona ampianarina azy ihany,
14 For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.
Dia, indro koa, mbola hanao zava-mahagaga amin’ ity firenena ity Aho, dia zava-mahagaga sy mahatalanjona; Ka ho foana ny fahendrena kendriny, ary tsy ho hita ny fahalalan’ ny mazava sainany.
15 Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?
Lozan’ izay manafina lalina ny saina ataony mba tsy ho hitan’ i Jehovah, sady ao amin’ ny maizina ny asany, ka dia hoy izy: Iza no mahita antsika, ary iza no mahalala antsika?
16 You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge?
Endrey izato fahadalanareo! Moa ny mpanefy tanimanga va no hoheverina ho tahaka ny tanimanga, ka ny natao va hilaza izay nanao azy hoe: Tsy nanao ahy izy? Na ny zavatra voaforona va hilaza izay namorona azy hoe: Tsy manam-pahalalana izy?
17 In a very short time Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will seem like a wood.
Tsy vetivety foana va dia hovana ho saha mahavokatra Libanona, Ary ny saha mahavokatra hoheverina ho ala?
18 And in that day those whose ears are stopped will be hearing the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind will see through the mist and the dark.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia ho ren’ ny marenina ny tenin’ ny taratasy, ary na dia ao amin’ ny aizina sy ny aizim-pito aza dia hahita ihany ny mason’ ny jamba.
19 And the poor will have their joy in the Lord increased, and those in need will be glad in the Holy One of Israel.
Ny mpandefitra hitombo hafaliana amin’ i Jehovah; Ary ny malahelo ao amin’ ny olona hifaly amin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely,
20 For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:
Fa lasa ny olon-dozabe, tsy ao intsony ny mpaniratsira; Ary fongotra izay rehetra miari-torin-tsaina amin’ ny ratsy,
21 Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.
Dia ireo manameloka olona amin’ ny teny ary mamandrika izay mananatra eo am-bavahady sy mamadika ny marina amin’ ny lainga foana.
22 For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.
Koa ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nanavotra an’ i Abrahama: Tsy ho menatra intsony Jakoba, ary tsy hivaloarika intsony ny tavany.
23 But when they, the children of Jacob, see the work of my hands among them, they will give honour to my name; yes, they will give honour to the Holy One of Jacob, and go in fear of the God of Israel.
Fa raha ny zanany mahita ny asan’ ny tanako ao aminy, Dia hanamasina ny anarako izy, eny, hanamasina ny Iray Masin’ i Jakoba izy ary hangovitra eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
24 Those whose hearts were turned away from him will get knowledge, and those who made an outcry against him will give attention to his teaching.
Ary izay mivily fanahy dia mbola hahazo fahalalana; Ary izay mimonomonona dia mbola hianatra fahendrena.
