1Wo [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
1[Ny hitsarana an'i Samaria sy Jerosalema, sy fanoharana mahamarina ny fitondran'Andriamanitra] Lozan'ny satro-boninahitra, izay reharehan'ny mpimamo any Efraima, sy ny voninkazo mihamalazo amin'ny firàvany tsara tarehy, izay eo an-dohan'ny lohasaha lonaky ny fileon-divay.[Heb. matavy]
2Lo, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail — a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
2Indro, ny Tompo manana izay mahery sady matanjaka, tahaka ny rivo-kavandra sy ny tafio-drivotra mandoza; Koa tahaka ny fandriaky ny rano be manafotra no hanjerany azy mafy ho amin'ny tany.
3By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
3Dia hohitsahin'ny tongotra ny satro-boninahitra, Izay reharehan'ny mpimamo any Efraima.
4And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it [is] yet in his hand he swalloweth it.
4Ary ny voninkazo mihamalazo amin'ny firàvany tsara tarehy, izay eo an-dohan'ny lohasaha lonaka, dia ho tahaka ny voan'aviavy mialin-taona, raha tsy mbola tonga ny fahavaratra, koa izay mahita azy dia mijery, ary raha vao raisiny, dia arapany. [Heb. matavy]
5In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people.
5Ary amin'izany andro izany Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, dia ho satro-boninahitra tsara tarehy sy ho fehiloha firavaka ho an'ny olony sisa,
6And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
6Ary ho fanahy fitsarana ho an'izay mipetraka eo amin'ny fitsarana, sy ho hery ho an'izay mampiverina ny ady hatreo am-bavahady.
7And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
7Nefa ireo koa dia miraingiraingy azon'ny divay ary mivembena azon'ny toaka; Ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany miraingiraingy azon'ny toaka; Resin'ny divay ireo; Mivembena azon'ny toaka izy; Miraingiraingy amin'ny fahitana izy ary midoladola eo amin'ny fitsarana.
8For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth — without place!
8Fa feno loa sy loto ny latabatra rehetra, ka efa tsy misy madio hitoerana.
9By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
9Iza no hampianariny fahalalana? Ary iza no hampahafantariny fianarana? Zaza vao notazana va? Ny vao nitsaha-nono va?
10For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
10Fa didy anampy didy, didy anampy didy; Fitsipika anampy fitsipika, fitsipika anampy fitsipika; Kely etỳ, ary kely erỳ;
11For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
11Eny, amin'ny molotra miambakambaka sy amin'ny fiteny baiko no hitenenany amin'ity firenena ity,
12Unto whom He hath said, `This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this — the refreshing:` And they have not been willing to hear,
12Izay nilazany hoe: Ity no fitsaharana, ampitsaharo ny reraka, ary ity no famelombelomana; Nefa tsy nety nihaino ireo. [Na: Dia Izy Izay nilaza taminy]
13And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
13Ary ny tenin'i Jehovah dia ho tonga didy anampy didy aminy tokoa, eny, didy anampy didy, fitsipika anampy fitsipika, fitsipika anampy fitsipika; Kely etỳ, ary kely erỳ, mba hanaovany dia mianotra, ka ho torotoro izy sy hofandrihana ary hosamborina.
14Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
14Koa mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ianareo, ry mpaniratsira, izay manapaka ity firenena eto Jerosalema ity.
15Because ye have said: `We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.`
15Satria ianareo manao hoe: Efa nanao fanekena tamin'ny fahafatesana izahay ary efa nanao fifanarahana tamin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ka na dia ho avy aza ny loza manafotra, dia tsy hihatra aminy izany, fa ny lainga no nataonay ho fiarovana, ary ny fitaka ho fierena, [Heb. Sheola][Heb. kotopia]
16Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone — a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.
16Dia izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, Izaho no efa nametraka vato ao Ziona, dia vato voazaha toetra, vato tsara izay fehizoro voaorina ho fanorenana mafy, ka tsy mba ho taitra izay mino.
17And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
17Ny fitsarana no hataoko ho fitsipika, ary ny fahamarinana ho pilao; Hopaohin'ny havandra ny lainga fiarovana, ary hindaosin'ny rano ny fierena.
18And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place.
18Hofoanana ny fanekenareo amin'ny fahafatesana, ary tsy haharitra ny fifanarahanareo amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita raha ho avy ny loza manafotra, dia ho tonga fanitsakitsany ianareo.[Heb. Sheola][Heb. kotopia]
19From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it hath been only a trembling to consider the report.
19Ary na oviana na oviana no ihaviany, dia hahatratra anareo izany; Fa isa-maraina isa-maraina no hihaviany, na andro na alina; Ary ny vokatry ny fahafantarana izany fianarana izany dia fangovitana ihany.
20For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one`s self out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one`s self up in.
20Fa fohy loatra ny farafara ka tsy azon'ny olona ilamparana; Ary kely ny firakotra ka tsy maharakotra, raha misy te-hirakotra azy.
21For as [at] mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As [at] the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work — strange [is] His work, And to do His deed — strange [is] His deed.`
21Fa Jehovah hitsangana tahaka ny teo amin'ny tendrombohitra Perazima, ho tezitra tahaka ny teo amin'ny lohasahan'i Gibeona Izy, mba hanaovany ny asany tsy ilay fanaony mandrakariva anefa, ary hahavitany ny ataony tsy ilay vitainy mandrakariva anefa.
22And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
22Koa dia aza maniratsira intsony ianareo, fandrao atao mafy ny famatorana anareo; Fa fahafonganana voatendry no efa reko tamin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Hamelezana ny tany rehetra.
23Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
23Mihainoa ianareo, ka mandrenesa ny feoko; Mitandrema, ka mandrenesa ny teniko.
24The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
24Moa ny mpiasa tany va miasa mba hamafy, na mitombo-doha sy mandravona ny taniny mandrakariva?
25Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its own border?
25Rehefa voaravony tsara ny tany, moa tsy afafiny amin'izay va ny voan'ny nigela, ary tsy apariakany va ny komina, ary tsy alahany mitandahatra tsara va ny vary tritika sy ny vary hordea amin'ny tany voafaritra ho azy Ary ny ampemby kosa eny an-tsisiny? [Na: spelta]
26And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
26Fa Andriamaniny no manoro azy izay mety hataony, Eny, Izy no mampianatra azy. [Na: Samy ataony araka izay tandrifiny ho azy avy; Fa Andriamaniny no mampianatra azy]
27For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
27Fa tsy ny kodia vy no ivelezana ny nigela, ary tsy ny kodian'ny sariety no akodiadia amin'ny komina; Fa ny nigela dia velezina amin'ny fantàka, ary ny komina amin'ny tehina.
28Bread-[corn] is beaten small, For not for ever doth he sorely thresh it, Nor crushed [it] hath a wheel of his cart, Nor do his hoofs beat it small.
28Moa mongomongoiny va ny vary hatao mofo? Tsia, fa tsy veleziny na hampandehanany ny kodian'ny sarietiny sy ny soavaliny lalandava izy; Tsy mongomongoiny tsy akory izy.Izany koa dia avy amin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro; Fa mahagaga amin'ny fisainana Izy Ary mahatalanjona amin'ny fahendrena.
29Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!
29Izany koa dia avy amin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro; Fa mahagaga amin'ny fisainana Izy Ary mahatalanjona amin'ny fahendrena.
