¹For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in rest in their own land; and the stranger shall be united to them, and they shall be joined to the house of Jacob.

¹Fa Jehovah hamindra fo amin'i Jakoba, ary mbola hifidy ny Isiraely indray ka hamponina azy ao amin'ny taniny; ary ny vahiny hikambana aminy, ary ny taranak'i Jakoba ho namany

²And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.

²Dia haka azy ny firenena ka hanatitra azy hody; ary ny taranak'Isiraely hanana azy ho ankizilahiny sy ankizivaviny ao amin'ny tanin'i Jehovah; dia ho tonga mpamabo izay namabo azy izy; ary hampanompo izay nampahory azy.

³And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy trouble and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

³[Hira fifaliana hataon'ny Isiraely noho ny nanetrena ny mpanjakan'i Babylona] Ary amin'ny andro hanomezan'i Jehovah fitsaharana anao ho afaka amin'ny fahorianao sy ny fitebitebin'ny fonao ary ny fanompoana mafy izay nampanompoana anao,

⁴that thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased, -- the exactress of gold ceased!

⁴dia hataonao izao oha-teny ny amin'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona izao: Hià! mitsahatra ilay mpampahory! Eny. tsy ao intsony ilay tanàna volamena! [Na: mampandoa hetra]

⁵Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers.

⁵Jehovah efa nanapatapaka ny tehin'ny ratsy fanahy. Dia ny tehina fanapahan'ny mpanapaka,

⁶He that smote the peoples in wrath with a relentless stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted unsparingly.

⁶Izay namely firenena tamin'ny fahatezerana, tamin'ny famelezana tsy nanam-pitsaharana, sady nampanompo firenena tamin'ny fahatezerana, tamin'ny fanenjehana tsy misy antra.

⁷The whole earth is at rest, is quiet: they break forth into singing.

⁷Miadana ka mandry fahizay ny tany rehetra; Velominy ao ny hoby,

⁸Even the cypresses rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, [saying,] Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

⁸Eny, ny hazo kypreso sy ny sedera any Libanona hifaly anao hoe: Hatrizay niambohoanao izay dia tsy nisy mpikapa niakatra tatỳ aminay.

⁹Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming, stirring up the dead for thee, all the he-goats of the earth; making to rise from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

⁹Taitra ny fiainan-tsi-hita any ambany noho ny aminao mba hitsena anao amin'ny fihavianao; Mamoha ny matoatoa hitsena anao izy, dia ireny bibilahy rehetra tambonin'ny tany; Aingainy hiala amin'ny seza fiandrianana ny mpanjakan'ny firenena rehetra.[Heb. Sheola][Heb. osilahy]

¹⁰All of them shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become powerless as we; art thou become like unto us!

¹⁰Izy rehetra samy hiteny aminao hoe: Hay! ianao koa mba efa osa tahaka anay! Efa tonga tahaka anay ianao!

¹¹-- Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, the noise of thy lyres: the maggot is spread under thee, and worms cover thee.

¹¹Efa navarina ho etỳ amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny tabihanao mbamin'ny feon'ny valihanao; Kankana no ilafihanao, ary olitra no mandrakotra anao.[Heb. Sheola]

¹²How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!

¹²Endrey! latsaka avy tany an-danitra ianao, ry ilay fitarik'andro, zanaky ny maraina; Voakapa hianjera amin'ny tany ianao, ry ilay mpandripaka firenena.

¹³And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of ùGod, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north;

¹³Ary ianao efa nanao anakampo hoe: Any an-danitra no hiakarako, ary ambonin'ny kintan'Andriamanitra no hanandratako ny seza fiandrianako; Dia hipetraka eo an-tendrombohitra; fivoriana any am-parany avaratra aho;

¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High:

¹⁴Hiakatra ho any ambonin'ny havoan'ny rahona aho ka ho tahaka ny Avo Indrindra;

¹⁵none the less art thou brought down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit.

¹⁵Kanjo hampidinina hatrany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ho any ampara-vodilavaka ianao.[Heb. Sheola]

¹⁶They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, [saying,] Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms;

¹⁶Izay mahita anao hibanjina anao sy hihevitra anao hoe: Moa io va ilay lehilahy nampihorohoro ny tany sy nampihozongozona ny fanjakana

¹⁷[that] made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; [that] dismissed not his prisoners homewards?

¹⁷Ary nanao izao tontolo izao ho efitra sy nandrava ny tanànany Ary tsy nandefa ny mpifatotra hody?

¹⁸-- All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house;

¹⁸Ny mpanjaka rehetra amin'ny firenena samy mandry amin'ny voninahitra avokoa, ary samy ao am-pasany avy;[Heb. tranony]

¹⁹but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain -- those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.

¹⁹Fa ianao kosa dia nariana niala lavitra ny fasanao, tahaka ny solofon-kazo ratsy izay ariana, sady voatsindrin'ny fatin'ny voavono ianao, dia ireo voatrabaky ny sabatra, ka midina ho ao amin'ny vato ao an-davaka, tahaka ny faty hitsakitsahin'ny tongotra.

²⁰Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.

²⁰Tsy halevina tahaka ireny ianao, satria efa nanimba ny taninao sady efa namono ny olonao; tsy hotononina mandrakizay ny taranaky ny mpanao ratsy!

²¹Prepare ye slaughter for his children, because of the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise up and possess the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

²¹Manamboara famonoana hamelezana ny zanany noho ny heloky ny razany; tsy hitsangana hanana ny tany izy, Na hanorina tanana eran'izao tontolo izao.

²²For I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and scion and descendant, saith Jehovah.

²²Fa hitsangana hamely azy aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, ary hofoanako ny anaran'i Babylona sy izay sisa ao mbamin'ny zanany sy ny taranany, hoy Jehovah.

²³And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.

²³Ary hataoko fonenan'ny sokina sy fihandronan'ny rano izy, ary hofafako kifafa fandringanana izy, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro.

²⁴Jehovah of hosts hath sworn saying, Assuredly as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, it shall stand:

²⁴Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, efa nianiana hoe: Araka izay noheveriko no hatao aminy ary araka izay nokasaiko no hotovina aminy,

²⁵to break the Assyrian in my land; and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

²⁵Dia ny hanorotoro ny Asyriana ao amin'ny taniko, ary ny hanitsakitsaka azy eny an-tendrombohitro; ny zioga fitondrany dia hiala amin'ireo, ary ny entany ho afaka amin'ny sorony

²⁶This is the counsel which is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand which is stretched out upon all the nations.

²⁶Izany no fikasana ny amin'ny tany rehetra, ary izany no tanana ahinjitra amin'ny firenena rehetra.

²⁷For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate [it]? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

²⁷Fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no efa nikasa, ka iza indray no hahafoana izany? Ary ny tànany dia voahinjitra, ka iza no hampihemotra izany?

²⁸In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:

²⁸[Faminaniana ny loza hanjo an'i Filistia] Tamin'ny taona nahafatesan'i Ahaza mpanjaka no nisy izao faminaniana ny loza hanjo izao:

²⁹Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

²⁹Aza mifaly, ry Filistia rehetra, saingy tapaka ny tsorakazo namely anao; fa avy ao an-kibon'ny bibilava no hihavian'ny menarana, ary ny aterany ho tonga menaran'afo manidina.[Heb. fakan'][Heb. sarafa]

³⁰And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; but I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.

³⁰Ny faraidina indrindra hihinana, ary ny mahantra handry fahizay; Fa hataoko maty mosary kosa izay tsy ringana aminao, eny, izay sisa aminao ho matiny.[Heb. matoan'ny mahantra][Heb. ny fakanao]

³¹Howl, O gate! cry, O city! thou, Philistia, art wholly dissolved; for there cometh from the north a smoke, and none remaineth apart in his gatherings [of troops].

³¹Midradradradrà, ry vavahady, ary mitaraina, ry tanàna; Aoka ho ketraka avokoa ianao, ry Filistia! Fa misy setroka mitranga avy any avaratra, ary tsy misy miala amin'ny laharany akory ny miaramilany.Ary inona moa no valiny ho entin'ny iraky ny jentilisa? Izao: Jehovah efa nanorina an'i Ziona, ary ao no hialofan'izay olony ory.

³²And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and the afflicted of his people find refuge in it.

³²Ary inona moa no valiny ho entin'ny iraky ny jentilisa? Izao: Jehovah efa nanorina an'i Ziona, ary ao no hialofan'izay olony ory.
