Isaiah 17

Indro, Damaskosy, dia rava tsy ho tanàna intsony, eny, tonga korontam-bato izy.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Efa lao ny tanànan'i Aroera ka ho an'ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy, handry ao ireo, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy,

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Ary tsy hisy tanàna mimanda intsony any Efraima, na fanjakana ao Damaskosy; Ary izay sisa amin'i Syria dia hitovy voninahitra amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely; Hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro.

The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

Ary amin'izany andro izany dia hihena ny voninahitr'i Jakoba, ary hihena ny hataviny.

And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

Ary ho tahaka ny fanangon'ny olona ny vary an-tahony amin'ny fararano izany, ka tangosan'ny sandriny ny salohim-bary; Eny, ho tahaka ny fanangon'ny olona salohim-bary eny amin'ny lohosahan'ny Refaita;

And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

Kanefa hisy sisa hotsimponina ihany izy tahaka ny amin'ny fikapohana ny hazo oliva: Hisy voany roa na telo ao an-tendrony ambony indrindra, efatra na dimy ao amin'ny rantsan'ny hazo mahavokatra, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

Amin'izany andro izany dia hanandrandra ny Mpanao azy ny olona, ary ny masony hijery ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely,

At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

Fa tsy hanandrandra ny alitara, asan'ny tànany, intsony izy. Ary ny nataon'ny rantsan-tànany tsy hahoany, na ny Aseraha, na ny tsangankazo ho an'ny masoandro.

And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

Amin'izany andro izany ny tanànany mafy, dia ho tahaka ny tany lao any an'ala na any an-tampon-tendrombohitra Izay nilaozan'ny olona teo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely, ka dia ho foana ny tany.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

Fa nanadino an'Andriamanitry ny famonjena anao ianao ary tsy nahatsiaro ny vatolampy fiarovana mafy ho anao, ka dia nanao voly mahafinaritra ianao ary zana-boaloboka avy amin'ny firenena hafa no nambolenao teo;

Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

Tamin'ny andro nambolenao azy dia nofefenao izy, ary nony maraina dia nampitsimohinao ilay nambolenao; nefa ho vokatra miavosa izany ho amin'ny andro fangirifiriana sy fanaintainana tsy azo sitranina.

In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

Indrisy ny fihahohahon'ny firenena maro! Izay mihahohaho tahaka ny feon'ny ranomasina! Indrisy ny firohondrohon'ny olona maro be! Tahaka ny firohondrohon'ny rano manonja ny firohondrohony!

Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

Eny, mirohondrohona tahaka ny firohondrohon'ny rano be ny firenena; kanefa hotezerana mafy izy, ka dia handositra lavitra ary ho lasa tahaka ny akofa eny an-tendrombohitra, raha paohin'ny rivotra, sy tahaka ny fakom-bary mitambolimbolina entin'ny tadio.

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

Raha hariva ny andro, dia, injao, fampahatahorana; ary raha tsy mbola maraina akory aza, dia tsy ao intsony ireny. Izany no anjaran'izay mamabo antsika sy tambin'izay mandroba antsika.

And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
