¹Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

¹[Ny hampijaliana an'i Asyria, sy ny soa ho hitan'i Ziona kosa] Lozanao, ry ilay mandroba, nefa tsy norobaina ianao! Ary mamitaka, nefa tsy nofitahina ianao! Rehefa mitsahatra ny mandrava ianao, dia vao horavana kosa; Ary rehefa mitsahatra ny mamitaka ianao, dia vao hofitahina kosa.

²O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

²Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo aminay; Hianao no antenainay; Aoka ho sandrinay isa-maraina ianao sy ho famonjena anay amin'ny andro fahoriana. [heb. sandriny]

³At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

³Ny feon'ny fitabatabana no mampandositra ny firenena; Raha misandratra Hianao, dia mipariaka ny jentilisa.

⁴And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

⁴Ary ireny handevona ny babonareo tahaka ny fandevon'ny valala, tahaka ny fifanaretsaky ny kalalao no fifanaretsany eo aminy.

⁵The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

⁵Manerinarina Jehovah, fa mitoetra any amin'ny avo Izy; Nofenoiny rariny sy fahamarinana Ziona.

⁶And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

⁶Ary hisy andro tsy manam-piovana ho anao, eny, haren'ny famonjena sy ny fahendrena ary ny fahalalana; Ny fahatahorana an'i Jehovah no rakitrao. [Heb. rakiny]

⁷Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

⁷Indreo, ny lehilahy maheriny mitaraina eny ivelany; Ny iraka nitady fihavanana dia mitomany mafy.

⁸The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

⁸Maty ny lalambe; Tsy misy ny mpandeha; Nofoanany ny fanekena; Nalany baraka ny tanàna; Tsy nanaja olona izy.

⁹The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

⁹Misaona ny tany ka milofika; Menatra Libanona ka malazo; Efa tonga tahaka ny tani-hay Sarôna, Ary manintsana Basana sy Karmela.

¹⁰Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

¹⁰Ankehitriny dia hitsangana Aho, hoy Jehovah; Ankehitriny dia ho any amin'ny avo Aho; Ankehitriny dia hisandratra Aho.

¹¹Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

¹¹Torontoronina bozaka ianareo ka miteraka vodivary; Ny fofonainareo dia tahaka ny afo handevona anareo.

¹²And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

¹²Ary ny firenena ho tahaka ny fandoroan-tsokay, eny, ho tahaka ny tsilo notombohina izay mirehitra amin'ny afo izy.

¹³Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

¹³Mihainoa ny amin'izay efa nataoko, ianareo izay lavitra, ary aoka hahafantatra ny heriko ianareo izay akaiky.

¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

¹⁴Raiki-tahotra ny mpanota ao Ziona; Horohoro no nahazo ny mpihatsaravela-tsihy. Iza amintsika no hahatoetra amin'ny afo mandevona? Iza amintsika moa no hahatoetra amin'ny lelafo mandrakizay? [Na: ratsy fanahy]

¹⁵He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

¹⁵Izay mandeha amin'ny fahamarinana sady miteny zava-mahitsy, izay tsy mety mandray harena amin'ny fanaovana an-keriny fa manifikifika ny tanany mba tsy handray kolikoly, izay manentsin-tadiny mba tsy handrenesany ny amin'ny fandatsahan-drà sady manakimpy ny masony mba tsy hahita ny ratsy;

¹⁶He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

¹⁶Izy no honina ao amin'ny avo; Ny fitoerana avony dia ny fiarovana any amin'ny harambato; Izay hohaniny dia homena azy, ary ny rano hosotroiny tsy ho diso.

¹⁷Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

¹⁷Ny masonao hahita ny mpanjaka amin'ny hatsaran-tarehiny sady hahatsinjo tany malalaka dia malalaka.

¹⁸Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

¹⁸Hotsaroan'ny fonao ilay nahatahotra: Aiza ny mpanoratra ? Aiza ny mpandanja? Aiza ny mpanisa ny tilikambo?

¹⁹Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

¹⁹Ny firenena misetaseta dia tsy ho hitanao intsony, dia ilay olona miboediboedi-piteny ka tsy fantatra, na ny lela mikodedidedy ka tsy azo.

²⁰Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

²⁰Tsiniovy Ziona, dia ilay tanàna fihaonantsika tamin'ny fotoam-pivavahana; Ny masonao hahita an'i Jerosalema ho fonenana mandry fahizay, dia lay izay tsy hafindra, ny tsimatra aminy tsy hongotana mandrakizay, ary tsy hisy hotapahina ny kofehiny.

²¹But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

²¹Fa Jehovah dia mahery ho antsika any, tany be ony sy lahin-drano lehibe any, nefa sy halehan'ny sambo voizina, na hovakin'ny sambo lehibe.

²²For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

²²Fa Jehovah no Mpitsara antsika; Jehovah no mpanome lalàna antsika; Jehovah no mpanjakantsika; Izy no hamonjy antsika.

²³Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

²³Mivaha ny mahazakan-tsambonao; Tsy mahahazona mafy ny fiorenan'andry izy, na mahavelatra ny lay; Fa amin'izay kosa dia hozaraina ny zavatra be voababo; Na dia ny mandringa aza dia mba hahazo babo ihany.Tsy hisy amin'ny mponina ao hilaza hoe: Marary aho; Ny olona izay mitoetra ao dia voavela heloka.

²⁴And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

²⁴Tsy hisy amin'ny mponina ao hilaza hoe: Marary aho; Ny olona izay mitoetra ao dia voavela heloka.
