¹Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

¹[Filazana ny loza hanjo, sy fiantsoana ny olona hibebaka] Tsofy ao Ziona ny anjomara! Ary miantsoa mafy ao an-tendrombohitro masina! Aoka hangovitra ny mponina rehetra amin'ny tany; Fa avy ny andron'i Jehovah, eny, efa antomotra izany,

²A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

²Dia andro maizina sy manjombona, andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito, toy ny fahazavan'ny maraina miely manerana ny tendrombohitra, dia firenena lehibe sy matanjaka, ka tsy nisy tahaka azy hatrizay hatrizay, sady tsy hisy tahaka azy intsony any aoriany hatramin'ny taonan'ny taranaka fara mandimby.

³A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

³Eo alohany misy afo mandevona, ary any aoriany misy lelafo mandoro; Tahaka ny saha Edena ny tany eo alohany, fa ny any aoriany kosa dia tahaka ny efitra foana, eny, tsy misy tsy azony.

⁴The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

⁴Mitarehin-tsoavaly ny tarehiny; Ary tahaka ny firiotry ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly ny firiotrany.

⁵Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

⁵Tahaka ny figorodon'ny kalesy any an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra no figorodon'ny fitsambikimbikiny, sy tahaka ny fipororotry ny lelafo eny amin'ny hain-tanety, ary tahaka ny firenena mahery voalamina hiady.

⁶Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

⁶Eo anoloany dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny firenena; Ny tarehy rehetra mivaloarika; [Na: tera-mena]

⁷They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

⁷Mitsarapaka tahaka ny lehilahy mahery izy ary mananika ny manda tahaka ny mpiady, samy mandroso amin'izay hitsiny ka tsy vaky laharana;

⁸Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

⁸Tsy mifanosika izy, fa samy mandroso amin'izay hitsiny; Ary na dia miezaka mamaky ny sabatra aza izy, dia tsy voaratra. [Na: voasakana]

⁹They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

⁹Mifamoivoy eran'ny tanàna izy, mihazakazaka eny amin'ny manda izy, mananika ny trano izy, miditra ao am-baravarankely toy ny mpangalatra izy.

¹⁰The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

¹⁰Eo alohany dia mihorohoro ny tany, ary mihozongozona ny lanitra; Ny masoandro sy ny volana tonga maizina, ary ny kintana tsy mamirapiratra.

¹¹And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

¹¹Ary Jehovah mahatonga kotroka eo alohan'ny miaramilany; Fa lehibe indrindra ny tobiny ary mahery izay manatanteraka ny teniny; Fa lehibe sy mahatahotra indrindra ny andron'i Jehovah, ka iza no mahatanty izany?

¹²Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

¹²Koa na dia ankehitriny aza, hoy Jehovah, miverena amiko amin'ny fonareo rehetra ary amin'ny fifadian-kanina sy ny fitomaniana ary ny fitarainana.

¹³And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

¹³Ary ny fonareo no triatriaro, fa aza ny fitafianareo, ary miverena amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; Fa mamindra fo sy miantra Izy, mahari-po sady be famindram-po ary manenina ny amin'ny loza,

¹⁴Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

¹⁴Fandrao mba hanenina ihany Izy ka hamela fitahiana ao aoriany, dia fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra aidina ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo. [Heb. Iza no mahalala na]

¹⁵Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

¹⁵Tsofy ao Ziona ny anjomara, ka manamasina andro fifadian-kanina, miantsoa fivoriana masina.

¹⁶Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

¹⁶Angony ny vahoaka, manamasina fiangonana, vorio ny loholona, angòny ny ankizy madinika mbamin'ny zaza minono; Aoka ny mpampakatra hiala ao an-efi-tranony, ary aoka ny ampakarina hiala ao an-trano fandriany.

¹⁷Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

¹⁷Eo anelanelan'ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny alitara no aoka hitomanian'ny mpisorona, mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho an'i Jehovah, ka hanao hoe: Iantrao ny olonao, Jehovah, ary aza avela ho latsa ny lovanao, ka hotapahin'ny jentilisa; Fa nahoana no hataony any amin'ny firenena hoe: Aiza Izay Andriamaniny? [Na: Hanaovan'ny jentilisa azy ho ambentinteny]

¹⁸Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

¹⁸[Ny hitsaharan'ny loza, sy ny hihavian'ny fitahiana] Ary Jehovah dia saro-piaro ny taniny sady niantra ny olony.

¹⁹Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

¹⁹Eny, Jehovah namaly ka nanao amin'ny olony hoe: Indro, hanatitra ny divay sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo ho anareo Aho, ka ho vokin'izany ianareo; Ary tsy havelako ho latsa any amin'ny Jentilisa intsony ianareo.

²⁰But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

²⁰Ary ilay avy any avaratra dia hampanalaviriko anareo ka horoahiko ho any amin'ny tany karankaina sy mariry; Ny loha-lalany ho any amin'ny ranomasina atsinanana, ary ny vodi-lalany ho any amin'ny ranomasina andrefana; Ary ny hamaimboany hiakatra, ary ny fofon-dratsiny hisondrotra; Fa efa nanao zava-dehibe izy.

²¹Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

²¹Aza matahotra, ry tany fambolena, miravoravoa sy mifalia; Fa manao zava-dehibe Jehovah.

²²Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

²²Aza matahotra, ry biby any an-tsaha, fa mihamaitso ny kijana any an-efitra, mamoa ny hazo, ary vokatra ny aviavy sy ny voaloboka.

²³Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

²³Ary ianareo, ry zanak'i Ziona, miravoravoa sy mifalia amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; Fa hanome anareo ny loha-orana onony Izy, dia handatsaka ranonorana mivatravatra ho anareo, eny, ny loha-orana sy ny fara-orana aloha. [Na: Homeny mpampianatra ny fahamarinana ianareo]

²⁴And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

²⁴Dia ho feno vary ny famoloana, ary hihoatra ny vata fanantazana ny divay sy ny diloilo.

²⁵And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

²⁵Ary honerako ho anareo ilay taona nohanin'ny valala, dia ny koraika sy ny sompanga ary ny kijeja, izay miaramilako betsaka nalefako hamely anareo.

²⁶And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁶Ary hihinana ianareo ka ho voky dia hidera ny anaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, fa mahagaga ny fitondrany anareo; Ary tsy ho menatra mandrakizay oloko.Dia ho fantatrareo fa ao afovoan'Isiraely Aho, ary Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, fa tsy misy hafa; Ary tsy ho menatra mandrakizay ny oloko.

²⁷And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁷Dia ho fantatrareo fa ao afovoan'Isiraely Aho, ary Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, fa tsy misy hafa; Ary tsy ho menatra mandrakizay ny oloko.

²⁸And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

²⁹And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

³⁰And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

³¹The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

³²And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
