Isaiah 21

Faminaniana ny amin'ny loza hanjo ny Efitra Ranobe. Tahaka ny firimorimon'ny tadio any atsimo no fihaviny avy any an-efitra, dia avy any amin'ny tany mahatahotra.

The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

Misy fahitana mampahory naseho tamiko: Ny mpamitaka mamitaka, ary ny mpandringana mandringana. Iakaro, ry Elama ô! ekeo, ry Media ô! Hatsahatro ny fisentoana rehetra.

A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

Ary raha nahita izany aho, dia feno fanaintainana ny valahako; Fijalijaliana no nahazo ahy tahaka ny fijalijalian'ny vehivavy raha miteraka; Niolanolana fatratra aho ka tsy nandre izany; Toran-kovitra aho ka tsy nahita izany.

Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

Niemponempona ny foko, nampahatahotra ahy ny horohoro; Ny hariva fahafinaretako nampodiny ho fangovitako.

My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

Velarina ny latabatra, miambina ny mpiambina, mihinana sy misotro ny olona mitsangàna, ianareo lehibe, ka hosory ny ampinga!

Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

Fa izao no nolazain'i Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana, manendre tily; Ka izay hitany no aoka holazainy.

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

Dia nahita izy ka indreo mpitaingina manao andiany mandeha tsiroaroa sy boriky andiany ary rameva andiany. Ary nihaino izy, eny, nihaino dia nihaino;

And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

Dia niantso nanao feon-diona izy ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô! izaho mijanona mandrakariva eto ambonin'ny fitazanako nony antoandro, Ary mitoetra eto amin'ny fiambenako aho mandritra ny alina;

And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

Koa, indreo, avy ny olona an-diany, mpitaingina mandeha tsiroaroa; Ary nanandratra ny feony izy ka nanao hoe: Rava, rava Babylona! Ary ny sarin'ny andriamaniny rehetra dia voatorotoro miraraka amin'ny tany.

And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

Ry ahy voavely toy ny vary teo am-pamoloako ô! Izay efa reko tamin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no nambarako taminareo.

O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

Faminaniana ny amin'ny loza hanjo an'i Edoma. Misy miantso ahy any Seira manao hoe: Ry mpiambina ô, toy inona alina moa izao ? Ry mpiambina ô, toy inona alina moa izao?

The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

Dia hoy ny mpiambina: Avy ny maraina, avy koa ny alina; Raha mbola ta-hanontany ianareo, dia manontania ihany; ka avia, miverena.

The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

Faminaniana ny amin'ny loza hanjo an'i Arabia. Any an'ala any Arabia no andrianareo, ry andian'ny Dedanita.

The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

Itondrana rano ny mangetaheta; Ny mponina amin'ny tany Tema mitsena hanina ny mandositra;

The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

Fa mandositra ny sabatra ireo, dia ny sabatra voatsoaka sy ny tsipìka voahenjana ary ny havesatry ny ady.

For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

Fa izao no nolazain'i Jehovah tamiko: Ato anatin'ny herintaona, tahaka ny taonan'ny mpikarama, dia ho levona avokoa ny voninahitr'i Kedara;

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

Ary ny tsipìka sisa izay; an'ny lehilahy mahery, taranak'i Kedara, dia ho vitsy foana, fa Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ao efa niteny.

And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
