Esias 21
1 THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land,
Ty entañe ty amy fatram-bei’ i riakeiy: Manahake ty famaoha’ o tio-bey tatimoo, ie miboak’ an-dratraratra hirik’ an-tane mampangebahebak’ añe.
2 [so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.
Naboak’ amako ty aroñaroñe mampioremeñe: Ty mpamañahy mamañahy, ty mpamaoke mamaoke. Mionjona ry Elame! Miarikoboña, ry Maday! Fa hene nampitsiñeko o fiselekaiñañeo.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see.
Aa le mikoritoke avao ty vaniako; mamihiñe ahy ty fitsongoañe, manahake ty fitsongon’ ampela mañèñe; mikoretse raho le tsy mahatsanoñe, miroreke tsy mahafañente.
4 My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear.
Mifejofejo ty troko; mampirevendreveñ’ahiko ty tahotse; nivalike ho fineveneverañe i palipalitsieñe nisalalaeko.
5 Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and prepare [your] shields.
Nihalankañeñe i fandambañañey, nalamake i tihiy, nikama naho ninoñe; Miongaha ry roandriañeo, hosoro o fikalan-defoñeo.
6 For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see.
Fa zao ty nafè’ i Talè amako: Akia, ajadoño ty mpijilo; adono hitalily ze talake’e.
7 And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel.
Nahaisake firimboñañe re reketse mpiningi-tsoavala ki-roe roe, mpijòm-borìke naho mpitoboke an-drameva; mitsendreñe amy zao re, mitsatsike.
8 Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night:
Nikaikaihe’e hoe liona: O talè, Mitolom-pijagarodoñe am-pitalakesañ’ abo atoy raho te handro, le mijohañe am-pijilovako ey te haleñe.
9 and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground.
Heheke ondaty lia-raikeo, mpiningi-tsoavala kiroe-roe. Manoiñe ka re manao ty hoe: Rotsake, Rotsake t’i Bavele; fonga nivolentsa an-tane eo o saren-drahare’eo.
10 Hear, you that are left, and you that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA.
O ry linisakoo, ry anako an-toem-pamofohakoo, Hampahafohineko anahareo o raha tsinanoko am’ Iehovà’ i maroio, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
11 Call to me out of Seir; guard you the bulwarks.
Ty entañe ty amy Domà: Mikoike amako ty boak’e Seire: O mpigaritseo, manao akore i haleñey? O mpijiloo, akore ty haleñe toy?
12 I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me.
Hoe i mpigaritsey: Hiporea’ ty maraindray, fa ho avy ka ty haleñe— ihe hañontane le mañontanea; mibaliha indraike!
13 You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan.
Ty entañe ho amy Arabe: Amo rongo-matahe’ i Arabeo ty hitobea’ areo ry mpivorontsa’ i Dedaneo.
14 You that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty;
Ry mpimone’ i Temao, anjotsò rano i taliñiereñey; Salakao ama’ mahakama o nivoratsakeo.
15 meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war.
Ie nilaisa’ iareo o fibarao, i mesolava napotsoañey, naho i fale nibitsokey, vaho ty fanindria’ i aliy.
16 For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail:
Fa zao ty nafè’ i Talè amako: Añate ty taoñe raike, ami’ty fañiaham-pikarama, le ho hene modo ty enge’ i Kedare.
17 and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it].
Le tsy ho ampeampe ty sengaha’ o mpitàm-paleo, o lahilahy manjofake amo ana-Kedareoo; fa zay ty nitsara’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
