¹Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

¹[Anatra ho fampibebahana ny olona, dieny mbola tsy mihatra ny loza]Miangona, eny, mivoria ianareo Ry firenena tsy manan-kenatra, [Na: tsy manina]

²Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.

²Dieny tsy mbola mihatra ny didy (Mihelina toy ny akofa ny andro!), Dieny tsy mbola tonga aminareo ny fahatezerana mafin'i Jehovah, Eny, dieny tsy mbola tonga aminareo ny andro firehetan'ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah.

³Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

³Mitadiava an'i Jehovah, ianareo mpandefitra rehetra amin'ny tany, Izay efa nanaraka ny fitsipiny: Tadiavo ny fahamarinana, Tadiavo ny fandeferana; Angamba ho voafina ianareo amin'ny andro fahatezeran'i Jehovah.

⁴For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

⁴Fa hafoy Gaza, Ary ho lao Askelona; Horoahiny mitataovovonana Asdoda, Ary hofongorana Ekrona.

⁵Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

⁵Lozan'ny mponina any amoron-tsiraka, Dia ny firenen'ny Keretita! Mihatra aminareo ny tenin'i Jehovah, Ry Kanana, tanin'ny Filistina! Haringako tsy hisy mponina eo aminao,

⁶And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

⁶Ary ny any amoron-tsiraka dia ho tonga tany fiandrasana ondry, izay misy zohy fialofan'ny mpiandry ondry, Sy ho valan'ondry aman'osy, [Na: trano-bongon']

⁷And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

⁷Ary ho tanin'ny sisa amin'ny taranak'i Joda izany, Ka any no hiandrasany ondry; Ny tranon'i Askelona no handriany amin'ny hariva; Fa Jehovah Andriamaniny no hamangy azy Ka hampody azy avy amin'ny fahababoany.

⁸I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

⁸Efa reko ny fandatsan'i Moaba Sy ny fanaratsian'ny taranak'i Amona, Izay nandatsany ny oloko Sy nireharehany teny amin'ny sisin-taniny.

⁹Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

⁹Koa raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Dia ho tahaka an'i Sodoma tokoa Moaba, Ary ny taranak'i Amona ho tahaka an'i Gomora, Dia ho alan'amiana sy lava-tsira ary tany lao mandrakizay; Ny sisa amin'ny oloko no hamabo azy, ary ny sisa amin'ny oloko no hahalasa azy.

¹⁰This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.

¹⁰Izany no ho valin'ny avonavony, Satria nandatsa ny olon'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, sy nirehareha taminy izy.

¹¹The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

¹¹Hahatsiravina azy Jehovah, Satria hahamosarena ireo andriamanitra rehetra ambonin'ny tany Izy, Mba hiankohofan'ny any amoron-tsiraky ny jentilisa rehetra eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, Samy any amin'ny fitoerany avy.

¹²Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

¹²Hianareo Etiopiana koa, Ho voatrabaky ny sabatro ianareo. [Heb. izy]

¹³And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.

¹³Ary haninjitra ny tànany hamely ny avaratra Izy Ka handringana an'i Asyria; Ary hahalao an'i Ninive ho karankaina tahaka ny efitra Izy.

¹⁴And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall uncover the cedar work.

¹⁴Ary hisy andiany handry ao aminy, Dia fivorian'ny karazam-biby samy hafa, Ny sama sy ny sokina hitoetra ao amin'ny kapitaliny; Feo mikiririoka no ho re ao am-baravarankely, Ary fandravana no ho eo an-tokonana, Fa hendahany ny rafitra sedera.Izany no tanàna niravoravo sady nandry fahizay, Izay nanao anakampo hoe: Izaho no izy, ary tsy misy hafa; Endrey! efa tonga lao izy, eny, fandrian'ny biby! Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia hisitrisitra sy hanondro tanana.

¹⁵This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

¹⁵Izany no tanàna niravoravo sady nandry fahizay, Izay nanao anakampo hoe: Izaho no izy, ary tsy misy hafa; Endrey! efa tonga lao izy, eny, fandrian'ny biby! Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia hisitrisitra sy hanondro tanana.
