< Isaiah 30 >

1 “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin!
Hankàñe amo anake miolao, hoe t’Iehovà, misafiry iareo fe tsy ahiko; mandahatse tolon-draha, fa tsy an-Troko, ie hanovoñe hakeo naho tahiñe.
2 You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my mouth, instead hoping for assistance from the strength of Pharaoh and placing trust in the shadow of Egypt.
O mijelañe mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo fe tsy nañontane am-bavakoo; hitsoloha’ iareo ty kijoli’ i Parò naho hipalitse an-­talinjo’ i Mitsraime.
3 And so, the strength of Pharaoh will be your confusion, and trust in the shadow of Egypt will be your disgrace.
Aa le hifotetse ho hameñarañe ty kijoli’ i Parò, vaho ho salatse nahareo te mipalitse an-talinjo’ i Mitsraime.
4 For your leaders were at Tanis, and your messengers have traveled even as far as Hanes.
Toe e Tsoane ao o roandria’eo, naho e Kanese ao o sorotà’eo.
5 They have all been confounded because of a people who were not able to offer profit to them, who were not of assistance, nor of other usefulness, except to offer confusion and reproach.
Hene ho salatse ty am’ ondaty tsy mahasoao, tsy mañimba tsy mampitombo, te mone heñatse naho inje.
6 The burden of the beasts in the south. In a land of tribulation and anguish, from which go forth the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying king snake, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts of burden, and their valuables upon the humps of camels, to a people who are not able to offer profit to them.
Ty entañe ty amo bibi’ atimoo. ie hiranga tane manosotse naho mañore, ami’ty hirifa’ o liona rene’eo naho i liona lahi’ey, ty lapetake naho ty fandrefeala mibelañ’afo; asese’ iareo an-tsorom-borìke tora’e ty vara’ iareo, naho an-trafon- drameva ty fanaña’ areo, mb’am’ondaty tsy hahasoa.
7 For Egypt will offer assistance, but without purpose or success. Therefore, concerning this, I cried out: “It is only arrogance! Remain calm.”
Kafoake ty imba’ i Mitsraime, toe tsy manjofake, aa le nitokaveko ty hoe: Rahabe mihisetse.
8 Now, therefore, enter and write for them upon a tablet, and note it diligently in a book, and this shall be a testimony in the last days, and even unto eternity.
Akia arè, sorato an-takelake añatrefa’ iareo eo, vaho sokiro am-boke ao, ho amo andro añeo ho fitaliliañe nainai’e.
9 For they are a people who provoke to wrath, and they are lying sons, sons unwilling to listen to the law of God.
Amy t’ie ondaty miola, anake mavande, ajaja tsy mete mitsanoñe o Tsara’ Iehovào;
10 They say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to those who behold: “Do not behold for us the things that are right. Speak to us of pleasing things. See errors for us.
ie manao amo mpioniñeo ty hoe: Ko mioniñe, naho amo mpitokio, Ko mitoky ama’ay ty hahiti’e; taroño ama’ay ty raha mora, mitokia famañahiañe.
11 Take me from the way. Avert me from the path. Let the Holy One of Israel cease from before our face.”
Isitaho o lalañeo, idisaho i lalam-bantañey, ajihero tsy ho aolo’ay t’i Masi’ Israele.
12 Because of this, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Since you have rejected this word, and you have hoped in calumny and rebellion, and since you have depended upon these things,
Aa le hoe t’i Masi’ Israele, kanao tsambolitio’ areo ty tsara toy, naho miato ami’ty famorekekeañe naho ty hamengohañe, vaho mipitek’ ama’e;
13 for this reason, this iniquity will be to you like a breach that has fallen, and like a gap in a high wall. For its destruction will happen suddenly, when it is not expected.
le ho ama’ areo i hakeo zay, manahake ty heba an-kijoly te higorobañe, ie miboenatse an-kijolim-bato abo ey, vaho migorogodeboñe amy zao ty fihotraha’e;
14 And it will be crushed, just as the earthen vessel of a potter is destroyed by a sharp blow. And not even a fragment of its earthenware will be found, which might carry a little fire from the hearth, or which might draw a little water from a hollow.
ie hiparaitsake hoe valañem-panao valàñe tane, le akore ty fipoñafa’e kanao tsy ahatreavañe ndra tsila’e amo biliti’e niparatsakeo hahatintinañe vaen’afo boak’am-patañe ao, ndra ty hanilofañe rano hirik’ an-kadaha ao.
15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!
Aa hoe t’i Talè Iehovà, Masi’ Israele; ty fisolohoañe naho fitofàñe ty maharombake anahareo; toe fianjiñañe naho fatokisañe ro haozara’ areo. Fe tsy nipaoke nahareo
16 And you have said: “Never! Instead, we will flee by horseback.” For this reason, you will be put to flight. And you have said, “We will climb upon swift ones.” For this reason, those who pursue you will be even swifter.
te mone ty hoe: Aiy avao! hioratse an-tsoavala zahay! — toe hivoratsake nahareo! naho, Hiningitse an-tsoavala lahi’e mahafitsontike zahay— aa le hipirirìtse ka o mañoridañe anahareoo!
17 A thousand men will flee in terror from the face of one, and you will flee in terror from the face of five, until you who have been left behind are like the mast of a ship at the top of a mountain, or like a sign on a hill.
Arivo ty hibioñe ami’ty fañembaña’ ty raike, hitriban-day nahareo ami’ty fañembaña’ ty lime, ampara’ t’ie miereñereñe hoe hazolahy an-kaboañe eñe, hoe viloñe ambone vohitse ey.
18 Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Toe mandiñe te hañisoke anahareo t’Iehovà; hitretrèza’e boak’ añ’abo ao. Fa Andrianañaharen-katò t’Iehovà; haha iaby o mitamà Azeo.
19 For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.
Ry ondaty e Tsione, mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, tsy hirovetse ka nahareo; Ie hatarike ama’o ty amy feom-pikaiha’oy, hanoiñe kanao mahajanjiñe azo.
20 And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.
Aa ndra t’ie nazotso’ i Talè mofon-kasotriañe naho ranon-kaloviloviañe, tsy hietake an-kotsok’ ao ka i Mpañòke azoy. le ho isam-pihaino’oo i Mpañana’oy;
21 And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”
Ho janjiñen-dravembia’o ty saontsy am-boho’o ao manao ty hoe: Intoy ty lalañe, añavelò, naho itsile’o mb’ankavana ndra mb’ankavia.
22 And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!”
Le ho tivà’ areo o sare-­sokitse nipakoreñe volafotio, naho o sare trinanake nohoñem-bolamenao, ho faohe’ areo añe hoe raha maleotse; vaho hanoa’o ty hoe, Soike!
23 And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.
Le ho tolora’e orañe ty tabiry ho tongise’o an-tane eo, hampitomboañe mahakama boak’ an-tane ao, ho kobokara vaho hiregorego; hangadagadañe ty fiandraza’ o añombe’oo amy andro zay.
24 And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.
Mbore hihinañe hane nisorobaeñe o añombe naho birìke mpitrabake taneo, ie fa nitsongae’ ty letsoro naho firango.
25 And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.
Kila vohitse abo, naho ze hene haboañe, ro hikararahan-­drano an-torahañe— amy androm-panjamanañey, ie mihotrake o fitalakesañ’ aboo.
26 And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
Hanahake ty hazavà’ i àndroy i volañey, le ho impìto ty hazavà’e i àndroy, mira ami’ty hazavan-andro fito, amy andro ampibandia’ Iehovà ty fere’ ondati’eoy, vaho hampimelañe’e o naràn-dafa’eo.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord arrives from far away. His fury is burning and heavy to bear. His lips have been filled with indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
Hehe te mb’atoy boak’ an-­tsietoiañe ty tahina’ Iehovà, miforoforo ami’ty haviñera’e, milodolodo o hatoe’eo; pea-pifombo o fivimbi’eo, vaho hoe afo mamorototo i famele’ey.
28 His Spirit is like a torrent, inundating, even as high as the middle of the neck, in order to reduce the nations to nothing, along with the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
Torahañe manganahana ty kofò’e, mahatakatse am-bozo, ho tsongà’e o kilakila’ndatio ami’ty tsikelom-pandrebahañe; vaho ho am-balañorà’ ondatio ty laboridy mampandilatse.
29 There will be a song for you, as in the night of a sanctified solemnity, and a joy of heart, as when one travels with music to arrive at the mountain of the Lord, to the Strong One of Israel.
Hanan-tsabo hoe amy haleñe fañambena’areo i sabadidakey nahareo; naho hafalean-troke manahake ty fionjonañe am-peon-tsoly mb’am-bohi’ Iehovà mb’an-damilami’ Israele mb’eo.
30 And the Lord will cause the glory of his voice to be heard, and, with a threatening fury and a devouring flame of fire, he will reveal the terror of his arm. He will crush with the whirlwind and with hailstones.
Le hampijanjiñe’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’e lifots’ engeñe, naho hampahaisaha’e ty fivangoam-pità’e mañambane ami’ty fitrotrofiaha’ i haviñera’ey ami’ty fisotratràhan’ afo hamorototo, ami’ty fiporitsahan-drahoñe naho ty fikojojoahan’ orañe vaho ty havandra-gadaboñe.
31 For at the voice of the Lord, Assur will dread being struck with the staff.
Hampangebahebake i Asore ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà ie fofohe’e an-kobay.
32 And when the passage of the staff has been begun, the Lord will cause it to rest upon him, with timbrels and harps. And with special battles, he will fight against them.
Le ze fandafàn-kobaim-pandilovañe apao’ Iehovà ama’e, harahem-­pikantsañañe naho jejo-bory; le am-piekotsekòran-kotakotake, ty hialia’e am’ iareo.
33 For a burning place, deep and wide, has been prepared from yesterday, prepared by the King. Its nourishment is fire and much wood. The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, kindles it.
Fa nihajarieñe haehae ty Topete, hinalankañe ho a’ i mpanjakay, laleke naho mangorabake; afo manodotse an-katae tsifotofoto; viañe’ ty kofò’ Iehovà, hoe t’ie fifororoahan-tsolifara.
