1Hear ye the word, O house of Israel, That Jehovah hath spoken for you.
1[Ny mahatsinontsinona ny sampy, ary ny fampisehoana ny voninahitr'i Jehovah sy ny fahatezerany] Henoy ny teny izay lazain'i Jehovah aminareo, ry taranak'Isiraely!
2Thus said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations accustom not yourselves, And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted, For the nations are affrighted by them.
2Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Aza mianatra ny fanaon'ny jentilisa; Ary aza matahotra ireo famantarana eny amin'ny lanitra; Fa ny jentilisa no matahotra izany.[Heb. didin']
3For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,
3Fa ny fanaon'ny firenena dia zava-poana; Fa hazo nokapaina tany an'ala ireny, dia asan-tànan'ny mpiasa amin'ny famaky;
4With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble.
4Volafotsy sy volamena no an-dravahany azy, ary hombo sy tantanana no entiny manamafy azy, mba tsy hihetsiketehany.
5As a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them.
5Toy ny hazo voasana ho sari-drofia izy, fa tsy mahateny; Ary entina ihany izy, fa tsy mba afa-mandeha; Aza matahotra azy, fa tsy mahatonga loza izy sady tsy mahay manisy soa.[palma]
6Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great [art] Thou, and great Thy name in might.
6Tsy misy tokoa izay tahaka Anao, Jehovah ô; Lehibe Hianao, ary lehibe amin'ny hery ny anaranao.
7Who doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee.
7Iza no tsy hatahotra Anao, ry Mpanjakan'ny firenena! Fa Hianao no iendrehan'izany, eny, amin'ny hendry rehetra amin'ny firenena sy amin'ny fanjakany rehetra dia tsy misy tahaka Anao.
8And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
8Fa ketrina sy adala avokoa izy rehetra; He! fananaram-poana! fa tapa-kazo ihany.
9Spread-out silver from Tarshish is brought, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artizan, and of the hands of a refiner, Blue and purple [is] their clothing, Work of the skilful — all of them.
9Volafotsy voafisaka nalaina avy tany Tarsisy sy volamena avy tany Ofaza Izany, asan-tanan'ny mpiasa sy ny mpanefy volamena; Lamba manga sy volomparasy ny fitafiany; Asan'ny mahay zavatra izy rehetra.
10And Jehovah [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not His indignation.
10Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra tokoa, eny, Izy no Andriamanitra velona sy Mpanjaka mandrakizay. Izay mampihorohoro ny tany amin'ny fahatezerany, ka tsy tantin'ny firenena ny fahavinirany
11Thus do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.
11(Izao no holazainareo amin'ireny; Ny amin'ny andriamanitra izay tsy mba nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany, dia ho levona tsy ho amin'ny tany na ho atỳ ambanin'ny lanitra ireny)
12The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,
12Dia Ilay nanao ny tany tamin'ny heriny sy nampiorina izao tontolo izao tamin'ny fahendreny ary namelatra ny lanitra tamin'ny fisainany.
13At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.
13Raha mampirohondrohona ny rano any an-danitra Izy, dia mampiakatra fofona avy any amin'ny faran'ny tany; Manao ny helatra ho amin'ny ranonorana Izy sady mamoaka ny rivotra avy amin'ny firaketany.
14Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image. And there is no breath in them.
14Efa ketrina avokoa ny olona rehetra ka tsy manam-pahalalana; Menarina noho ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ny mpanefy volamena rehetra; Fa fitaka ny sarin-javatra an-idina, sady tsy misy fofon'aina ao aminy.
15Vanity [are] they, work of erring ones, In the time of their inspection they perish.
15Zava-poana ireny, dia asa mahatsikaiky foana; Amin'ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho levona izy.
16Not like these [is] the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things [is] He, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
16Tsy mba tahaka ireo ny Anjaran'i Jakoba; Fa Mpamorona ny zavatra rehetra Izy; Ary ny Isiraely no firenena lovany; Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no anarany.
17Gather from the land thy merchandise, O dweller in the bulwark,
17Angony ny korontan'entanao, ka ento hiala amin'ny tany, ry ilay mipetraka ao amin'ny haterena!
18For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.
18Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hatorako ho indray misidina toy ny vaton'antsamotady ny mponina amin'ny tany, ary hataoko tery izy mba hahitany.
19Wo to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting, And I said, Only, this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.
19Mahita loza aho, fa torotoro! Tsy azo sitranina ny feriko; Nefa hoy Izaho: Anjara-fahoriako izao, ka dia hozakaiko ihany.
20My tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising up my curtains.
20Rava ny laiko, ary tapaka avokoa ny kofehin-daiko; Lasa ny zanako, ka tsy misy intsony, eny, tsy misy hamelatra ny laiko intsony na hanantona ny ambain-daiko.
21For the shepherds have become brutish, And Jehovah they have not sought, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
21Fa efa ketrina ny mpiandry ondry ka tsy mitady an'i Jehovah; Izany no tsy mahahendry azy, ka dia miely ny ondry andrasany rehetra.
22A voice of a report, lo, it hath come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
22Injany! misy siosion-teny hoe: Indro, tamy izy amin'ny fihorakorahana be avy any amin'ny tany avaratra mba hahatonga ny tanànan'ny Joda ho lao sy ho fonenan'ny amboadia.
23I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.
23Jehovah ô, fantatro fa tsy an'ny olombelona ny lalan-kalehany, na an'ny mpandeha ny hahalavorary ny diany
24Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make me small.
24Jehovah ô, anaro aho, nefa araka ny antonony ihany, fa tsy amin'ny fahatezeranao, fandrao hataonao tonga tsinontsinona aho.Aidino amin'ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala Anao ny fahatezeranao, dia amin'ny taranaka Izay tsy miantso ny anaranao. Fa efa nihinana an'i Jakoba ireo, eny, nihinana sy nahalevona azy ary nahalao ny fonenany.
25Pour out Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee, And on the families that have not called in Thy name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Yea, they have eaten him up, yea, they consume him, And his habitation they have made desolate!
25Aidino amin'ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala Anao ny fahatezeranao, dia amin'ny taranaka Izay tsy miantso ny anaranao. Fa efa nihinana an'i Jakoba ireo, eny, nihinana sy nahalevona azy ary nahalao ny fonenany.
