¹Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

¹Lozan'izay mamorona fikasana tsy marina sy izay mpanoratra manoratra fampahoriana,

²To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

²Hampialany ny mahantra amin'ny fitsarana sy hanalany ny rariny amin'izay ory eo amin'ny oloko, Handrobany ny mpitondratena sy hamaboany ny kamboty!

³And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

³Ary ahoana no hataonareo amin'ny andro famaliana sy amin'ny fandravana izay avy amin'ny lavitra? Ho any amin'iza no handosiranareo hamonjy anareo? Ary aiza no hametrahanareo ny harenareo? [Heb. voninahitrareo]

⁴Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

⁴Tsy misy azony atao afa-tsy ny mihohoka voatsindrin'ny mpifatotra sy ny lavo voatsindrin'ny voavono. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, Fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.[Na: Izay tsy mihohoka voatsindrin'ny babo dia ho lavo voatsindrin'ny voavono; na: Raha misaraka amiko, dia hihohoka, etc]

⁵O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

⁵[Ny amin'ny fanjakan'i Asyria sy ny mbola handravana azy] Endrey! ry Asyria, tsorakazon'ny fahatezerako ô, Eny, tehina eny an-tànany ny fahavinirako!

⁶I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

⁶Hamely firenena mihatsaravelatsihy no anirahako azy, ary hamely ny firenena izay iharan'ny fahatezerako no andidiako azy, hamabo sy handroba ary hanao azy ho fanitsakitsaka tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalambe.[Na: ratsy fanahy]

⁷Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

⁷Kanjo tsy izany no kasainy, ary tsy izany no heverin'ny fony; Fa ny handringana sy ny hamongotra firenena tsy vitsy no ao am-pony.

⁸For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

⁸Fa hoy izy: Tsy mpanjaka avokoa va ireny governorako ireny?

⁹Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

⁹Tsy tahaka an'i Karkemisy va Kalno? Tsy tahaka an'i Arpada va Hamata? Ary tsy tahaka an'i Damaskosy va Samaria ?

¹⁰As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

¹⁰Tahaka ny nahatraran'ny tanako ny fanjakan'ny andriamani-tsi-izy, na dia nihoatra noho ny an'i Jerosalema sy ny an'i Samaria aza ny sampin'ireo,[Heb. sarin-javatra voasokitra]

¹¹Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

¹¹Dia tsy tahaka ny nataoko tamin'i Samaria sy ny andriamanini-tsi-izy va no hataoko amin'i Jerosalema sy ny sampiny koa ? [Heb. sarin-javatra voasokitra]

¹²Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

¹²Kanefa rehefa vitan'ny Tompo ny asany rehetra ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona sy Jerosalema, dia hovaliany kosa ny vokatry ny fiavonavonan'ny fon'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria sy ny reharehan'ny fiandranandran'ny masony; [Heb: hovaliako]

¹³For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

¹³Fa izy manao hoe: Tamin'ny herin'ny tanako no nanaovako izany, sy tamin'ny fahendreko, fa mahira-tsaina aho; Ary nanaisotra ny faritanin'ny firenena aho sady namabo ny hareny, ary tahaka ny famotraky ny ombilahy no namotrahako mpanapaka; [Na: Ary tahaka ny fanaon'ny lehilahy mahery no nanonganako mpanapaka]

¹⁴And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

¹⁴Ary tahaka ny fakàna ny ao amin'ny akanim-borona no nakan'ny tanako ny haren'ny firenena; Ary tahaka ny famory atody nilaozan-dreniny no namoriako ny any amin'ny tany rehetra, Ka tsy nisy nikopaka elatra, na nisoka-bava, na nikiakiaka.

¹⁵Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

¹⁵Ny famaky va hirehareha amin'izay mikapa aminy? Ny tsofa va hiavonavona amin'izay manatsofa aminy? Toy ny tsorakazo, raha manetsika izay manainga azy! Ary toy ny tehina, raha manandratra ny tompony! [Heb. manandratra izay tsy hazo]

¹⁶Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

¹⁶Koa izany no anateran'ny Tompo, dia ny Tompon'ny maro, fahahiazana amin'ny tremalahiny; Ary ao ambanin'ny voninahiny dia hisy mirehitra toy ny firehitry ny afo.

¹⁷And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

¹⁷Ary ny fahazavan'ny Isiraely ho tonga afo, ary ny Iray Masiny ho tonga lelafo, ka hodorany ho levona indray andro monja ny tsilony sy ny heriny;

¹⁸And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

¹⁸Ary ny voninahitry ny alany sy ny sahany mahavokatra dia holevoniny, na ny fanahiny, na ny nofony, ka ho tahaka ny fifezak'izay marary mafy izany.[Na: ho tahaka ny fahatoranan'ny mpitondra faneva]

¹⁹And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

¹⁹Ary ho vitsy ny hazo sisa any an'alany, ka na dia izay mbola zaza aza hahasoratra azy.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

²⁰Ary amin'izany andro izany ny Isiraely sisa, izay tsy ringana amin'ny taranak'i Jakoba, dia tsy hiankina amin'izay namely azy intsony; Fa Jehovah, Iray Masin'ny Isiraely, ihany no hiankinany marina tokoa.

²¹The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

²¹Ary izay sisa amin'i Jakoba dia hiverina ho amin'Andriamanitra Mahery.

²²For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

²²Fa na dia tahaka ny fasika any amin'ny ranomasina aza ny isan'ny Isiraely olonao, dia izay sisa aminy ihany no hiverina; Voatendry ny fandringanana izay hanafotra ho famaliana marina;

²³For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

²³Fa fahafonganana voatendry no hataon'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Ao amin'ny tany.

²⁴Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

²⁴Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Ry oloko, izay monina any Ziona, Aza matahotra ny Asyriana, raha mamely anao amin'ny tsorakazo izy ary manainga ny tehina aminao, tahaka ny fanao tany Egypta;

²⁵For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

²⁵Fa rehefa afaka vetivety, dia hitsahatra ny fahavinirana, ary ny fahatezerako dia handringana azy kosa.

²⁶And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

²⁶Eny, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, hamely azy amin'ny kotopia, tahaka ny namelezana ny Midiana teo am-batolampy Oreba; ary ny tsorakazony haingainy eny ambonin'ny ranomasina ka hatsangany tahaka ny fanao tany Egypta.

²⁷And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

²⁷Ary amin'izany andro izany dia ho afaka eo an-tsorokao ny entany ary ny bao fitondrany ho afaka amin'ny vozonao, ary ho tapaka ny bao fitondrana noho ny fihatavezany.[Heb. simba]

²⁸He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

²⁸Injao! tonga any Aiata izy, mamaky an'i Migrona izy ary mametraka ny entany ao Mikmasy,

²⁹They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

²⁹Mihoatra ao an-kadilanana izy Ao Geba isika no handry, hoy izy; Mangovitra Rama, mandositra Gibean'i Saoly;

³⁰Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

³⁰Mikiakiaha mafy, ry zanakavavin'i Galima, Mampandria sofina, ry Laisy. Indrisy, ry Anatota mahantra!

³¹Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

³¹Lasa mandositra Madmena, ny mponina any Gebima mitondra ny entany mandositra.

³²As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

³²Anio izy mbola mitoetra any Noba, Maninjitra ny tànany manambana ny tendrombohitr'i Ziona zanakavavy, dia ny havoan'i Jerosalema.

³³Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

³³Indro, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, manapaka ny rantsany madinika amin'ny heriny mahatahotra; Ary izay mijoaka lava no voakapa, ary izay avo no aetry;Ary kapaina vy ny ala mikirindro, ary Libanona dia alamaky ny iray Mahery.

³⁴And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

³⁴Ary kapaina vy ny ala mikirindro, ary Libanona dia alamaky ny iray Mahery.
