Esias 13
1 THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
Faminaniana hitan’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Babylona.
2 Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
Manangàna faneva eo an-tampon’ izay tendrombohitra mangadihady ianareo, manandrata feo hiantso azy, hofay tanana izy hiditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ireo mpanapaka.
3 I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
Izaho efa nandidy ny nohamasiniko, eny, efa niantso ny lehilahy maheriko aho, dia ireo mibitaka amim-pireharehana, hahatanteraka ny fahatezerako.
4 A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
Injany! ny horakoraka any an-tendrombohitra, tahaka ny an’ ny vahoaka be! Dia ny fitabataban’ ny fanjakan’ ny firenena efa tafatambatra! Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no manomana miaramila hiady,
5 to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
Izay avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra, any amin’ ny faravodilanitra, dia Jehovah sy ireo fitaovan’ ny fahatezerany, ho enti-mandrava ny tany rehetra.
6 Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
Midradradradrà ianareo, fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah, ka tahaka ny loza tsy toha avy amin’ ny Tsitoha no fihaviny.
7 Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
Ary noho izany dia hiraviravy ny tanana rehetra, ary ho kivy ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona rehetra;
8 The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
Ho toran-kovitra izy; Fanaintainana sy fahoriana no hahazo azy, ka hijalijaly tahaka ny vehivavy mihetsi-jaza izy; samy ho talanjona izy ka hifampijery; Mitarehin-delafo ny tarehiny.
9 For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
Indro, avy ny andron’ i Jehovah, dia loza sy fahavinirana ary firehetan’ ny fahatezerana hanafoanana ny tany sy handringanana ny mpanota tsy ho ao.
10 For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
Fa ny kintan’ ny lanitra, na dia ireo Telonohorefy aza, dia tsy hampamirapiratra ny fahazavany; ny masoandro ho maizina amin’ ny iposahany; Ary ny volana tsy hangarangarana.
11 And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
Ary hatsingeriko amin’ izao tany rehetra izao ny faharatsiany, sy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy ny helony; Ary hatsahatro ny fireharehan’ ny mpiavonavona, Ary haetriko ny fiavonavonan’ ny mpampahory.
12 And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
Dia hataoko ho saro-tadiavina mihoatra noho ny volamena tsara ny olombelona, eny, noho ny tena volamena avy any Ofira aza.
13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
Ary noho izany dia hampihorohoroiko ny lanitra, ary ny tany hientanentana hiala amin’ ny fitoerany noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, sy noho ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
14 And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
Ary ho tahaka ny gazela hazaina ny olona, sy ho tahaka ny ondry aman’ osy tsy misy mpamory, ka dia samy ho lasa any amin’ ny fireneny avy izy, eny, samy handositra ho any amin’ ny taniny avy izy.
15 For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
Izay rehetra azo dia holefonina, ary izay rehetra tratra dia ho lavon’ ny sabatra.
16 And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
Ary ny zanany madinika hotorotoroina eo imasony; Ny tranony hobaboina, ary ny vadiny hosavihina.
17 Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
Indro, hamporisihiko hamely azy ny Mediana, izay manao ny volafotsy tsy ho zavatra ary tsy mankamamy ny volamena.
18 They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
Ny tsipìkany handripaka ny zatovo, ary izay ateraky ny kibo tsy hamindrany fo, eny, na dia ny zaza aza tsy hiantran’ ny masony.
19 And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
Ary Babylona, ravaky ny fanjakana maro Tabiha sy reharehan’ ny Kaldeana, Dia ho rava tahaka ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora;
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
Tsy honenana mandrakizay izy ary tsy hitoerana intsony hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby, Tsy hisy Arabo hanorin-day any, na mpiandry ondry hampandry ny ondriny any;
21 But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
Fa ny bibi-dia any an-efitra no hitoetra any, ho feno vorondolo ny tranony, ny ostritsa no hitoetra any, ary ny osilahy no hitsambikimbikina any,
Ny kary no hifampierena ao an-tranobeny, ary ny amboadia ao amin’ ny lapa nanaranam-po; efa antomotra ny fotoany, ary ny androny tsy hatao ela.
