¹I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

¹[Ny nilazan'i Jehovah tamin'ny mpaminany ny amin'ny handringanana ny Kaldeana] Hitsangana eo ambonin'ny fitazanako aho Ary hijoro eo ambonin'ny manda, Hiandry hahitako izay holazainy amiko Sy izay havaliko amin'ny fitarainako.

²And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

²Dia namaly ahy Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Soraty ny fahitana, ka ataovy velona tsara ny soratra eo amin'ny fàfana, Mba ho azon'ny mihazakazaka hovakina aza.[Na: mba hihazakazahan'izy mamaky azy]

³For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

³Fa ny fahitana dia mbola ho amin'ny fotoan'andro, Ary mikendry ny farany izy ka tsy ho diso; Eny, na dia mitaredretra aza izy, andraso ihany, Fa ho avy tokoa izy ka tsy hijanona.

⁴Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

⁴Indro, feno avonavona ny fanahin'ireny, fa tsy mahitsy ao anatiny, Fa ny marina ho velon'ny finoany.[Na: fa ny marina amin'ny finoana no ho velona]

⁵Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

⁵Ary koa, mamitaka ny divay; Ny olona miavonavona tsy mba mahatoetra, Dia ilay mitanatana vava tahaka ny fiainan-tsi-hita, Eny, toy ny fahafatesana, ka tsy mety voky, Fa manangona ny firenena rehetra ho ao aminy Sy mamory ny olona rehetra ho ao aminy..[Heb. Shoela]

⁶Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

⁶Tsy hanao oha-teny hamelezana azy va ireto rehetra ireto ? Tsy hanao eson-teny sy fitenenana hanoherana azy va izy ka hanao hoe: Lozan'izay mahery mandroaka ny tsy azy! Mandra-pahoviana! dia ilay mivesatra ny zavatra nalaina ho tsatòka[Heb. fampanonona]

⁷Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

⁷Tsy hitsangana tampoka va izay hanaikitra anao, Ary tsy hifoha va izay hanaitaitra anao, Ka ho babony ianao?

⁸Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

⁸Fa efa namabo firenena maro ianao, Ka dia mba hobaboin'ny sisa rehetra amin'ny firenena kosa, Noho ny ran'ny olona sy ny fandozana natao tamin'ny tany, Dia tamin'ny tanàna sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.

⁹Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

⁹Lozan'izay fatra-pila harena amin'ny tsy marina ho an'ny taranany, Hanaovany ny akaniny any amin'ny avo, Mba tsy ho tratry ny tanan'ny loza

¹⁰Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

¹⁰Efa namoron-tsaina izay hahatonga henatra ho an'ny taranakao ianao, Dia ny handringanana firenena maro; Ary nankahà-doza hihatra amin'ny ainao ianao.

¹¹For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

¹¹Fa hitaraina ny vato ao amin'ny rindrina, Ary ny sakamandimby ao amin'ny trano no hamaly azy.[Heb. hazo]

¹²Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

¹²Lozan'izay manao vohitra amin'ny fandatsahan-drà Sy manorina tanàna amin'ny heloka!

¹³Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

¹³Indro, tsy avy amin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, va no hiasan'ny olona ho an'ny afo, Sy hisasaran'ny firenena noho ny zava-poana?

¹⁴For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁴Fa ny tany ho feno ny fahalalana ny voninahitr'i Jehovah, Toy ny fanaron'ny rano ny fanambanin'ny ranomasina.

¹⁵Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

¹⁵Lozan'izay mampisotro divay ny namany Dia ianao izay manampy fahatezerana ka mampahamano azy, Mba hijery ny fitanjahany;

¹⁶Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

¹⁶Efa feno henatra ianao, fa tsy voninahitra; Mba sotroy koa, ka mitanjaha; Hatolotra anao ny kapoaka eny an-tanana ankavanan'i Jehovah, Ary fahamenarana no ho amin'ny voninahitrao. [Na: aoka ho hita fa tsy voafora ianao]

¹⁷For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

¹⁷Fa hanody anao ny loza natao tamin'i Libanona Sy ny fandringanana mahatahotra namelezana ny biby, Noho ny ran'ny olona sy ny loza natao tamin'ny tany, Dia tamin'ny tanàna sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.

¹⁸What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

¹⁸Mahasoa inona ny sarin-javatra voasokitra, No misokitra azy ny mpanao azy? Na ny sarin-javatra an-idina sy ny mpampianatra lainga, No matoky azy izay namorona azy Tamin'ny nanaovany sampy moana?

¹⁹Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

¹⁹Lozan'izay manao amin'ny hazo hoe: Mifohaza! Ary amin'ny vato moana hoe: Mitsangàna! Hampianatra va ireo ? He! voapetaka takela-bolamena sy volafotsy ihany izy, Nefa tsy misy fanahy akory ao anatiny.Jehovah dia ao amin'ny tempoliny masina; Mangina eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!

²⁰But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

²⁰Jehovah dia ao amin'ny tempoliny masina; Mangina eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!
