Isaia 18

1 Indrisy ny tany be fibiziziokan’ elatra! Izay any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia,

woe! land: country/planet buzzing wing which from side: beyond to/for river Cush

2 Izay mampandeha iraka eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina, ao anaty lakan-jozoro ambonin’ ny rano, ka manafatra azy hoe: Mandehana, ry iraka faingam-pandeha, ho any amin’ ny firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, any amin’ ny olona mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany, dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny.

[the] to send: depart in/on/with sea envoy and in/on/with article/utensil reed upon face: surface water to go: went messenger swift to(wards) nation to draw and to smooth to(wards) people to fear from he/she/it and further nation might might and subjugation which to divide river land: country/planet his

3 Ry mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao sy mpitoetra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany! Raha misy faneva atsangana eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra, dia mijere ianareo, ary raha misy anjomara tsofina, dia mihainoa.

all to dwell world and to dwell land: country/planet like/as to lift: raise ensign mountain: mount to see: see and like/as to blow trumpet to hear: hear

4 Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko hangina Aho aloha ka hijery eto amin’ ny fitoerako, raha mbola mipoaka tsara ny hainandro, ary misy zavona amin’ ny hainandro fararano.

for thus to say LORD to(wards) me (to quiet *Qk) and to look in/on/with foundation my like/as heat dazzling upon light like/as cloud dew in/on/with heat harvest

5 Fa raha mbola tsy tonga ny fararano, rehefa tapitra ny fitsimohany, ka efa mby am-boany ny voniny, dia horantsanany amin’ ny fanetezam-boaloboka ny rantsany, ary hotapahiny sy hesoriny ny sakeliny.

for to/for face: before harvest like/as to finish flower and unripe grape to wean to be flower and to cut: cut [the] tendril in/on/with pruner and [obj] [the] tendril to turn aside: remove to strike away

6 Dia hafoy avokoa izy ho an’ ny vorona mpihaza eny an-tendrombohitra sy ho an’ ny biby eny ambonin’ ny tany; ary ny vorona mpihaza handany fahavaratra any; Ary ny biby rehetra ambonin’ ny tany handany ririnina any.

to leave: forsake together to/for bird of prey mountain: mount and to/for animal [the] land: country/planet and to summer upon him [the] bird of prey and all animal [the] land: country/planet upon him to winter

7 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fanomezana ho entina ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, ary avy amin’ ny firenena mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, Izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny ho ao amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia ny tendrombohitra Ziona.

in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to conduct gift to/for LORD Hosts people to draw and to smooth and from people to fear from he/she/it and further nation might might and subjugation which to divide river land: country/planet his to(wards) place name LORD Hosts mountain: mount Zion
