Isaiah 32
1 See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.
Oniño te hifelek’ an-kavañonañe ty mpanjaka, vaho hifehe an-katò o roandriañeo.
2 And a man will be as a safe place from the wind, and a cover from the storm; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a waste land.
Le hanahake ty fipalirañe ami’ty tioke t’indaty, naho hoe fitampiñañe ami’ty lihits’ orañe, hoe rano mitsiritsioke an-tane kànkañe, hambañe ami’ty tevam-bato ialofañe an-tane kirikintañe ao.
3 And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.
Le tsy hakipe ty fihaino’ o mahaisakeo; vaho hitsendreñe ty ravembia mahajanjiñe.
4 The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.
Haharendre-kilala ty fivetsevetse bei-àreke, hiaren-tsaontsy ty famele’ o mènekeo.
5 The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
Tsy hatao vañoñe ka ty dagola, le tsy hatao matarike ty tsivokatse;
6 For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.
Amy te mivolam-borosode ty gege, mikitro-draha raty ty tro’e, hitoloñe tsy aman-Kake, hivolañ’ ota am’ Iehovà, kefohe’e ty tro’ i saliko, vaho kapaihe’e ty fitovi’ i taliñiereñey.
7 The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.
Tsy vente’e ty harao’ o tsivokatseo; kiniae’e loza an-tambaimbaiñe o rarakeo, ndra te mivolan-to i misotriy.
8 But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.
Misafiry fatarihañe ty matarike, naho i fatariha’e ty ijadoña’e.
9 Give ear to my voice, you women who are living in comfort; give attention to my words, you daughters who have no fear of danger.
Miongaha ry rakemba miagarègañeo, janjiño o feokoo; ry anak’ampela mitabonìtseo anoloro sofiñe o lañonakoo.
10 In not much more than a year, you, who are not looking for evil, will be troubled: for the produce of the vine-gardens will be cut off, and there will be no getting in of the grapes.
Ho ampoheke nahareo te peake ty taoñe tovoñañ’ andro ry tsidaredareo; fa tsy hamokatse o vaheo, tsy ho toly i fanontonañey.
11 Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.
Mititititiha, ry miaiñañoleñañeo, mimahimahiña ry miandrañandrañeo; mañametsametsà, miboridaña, misikina gony an-tohake
12 Have sorrow for the fields, the pleasing fields, the fertile vine;
Mikabokaboha araña ty amo tonda nisoao, naho amo vahe niregoregoo,
13 And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.
ty amy tane-hoba’ ondatikoy, ie itiriam-patike naho hisatse; eka, ty amo anjomba mitsinjakeo vaho i rova mandia taròbay.
14 For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;
Fa kòake i anjombam-panjakay, babangoañe i rova nitsitsike ondatiy; fa lakato nainai’e ty haboa naho ty fijilovañ’abo fa fitsamboañam-birike lý naho fiandraza’ o lia-raikeo
15 Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.
ampara’ te adoañe amantika ty Arofo boak’ añ’abo, ie ho tete-kobokara ty ratraratra, vaho atao ty hoe ala ty tonda vokatse.
16 Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.
Himoneñe am-patrambey ao amy zao ty hatò, vaho hañialo an-tonda kobokara ao ty havantañañe.
17 And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.
Hamokatse fierañerañañe ty havañonañe, hahatoly fianjiñañe naho fatokisañe nainai’e ty hamarentane.
18 And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.
Hitoboke añ’akibam-pañanintsiñe ondatikoo, naho am-pipaliran-tsoa, vaho am-pitofàñe mipendreñe.
19 But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
Manahake te mihotrake ty amy havandray i alay; t’ie harèke ambane i rovay.
20 Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.
Haha nahareo mpitongy añ’olon-drano iabio, o mampidada ty tombo’ o añombeo naho o borìkeo.
