¹Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

¹[Ny hampijaliana an'i Asyria, sy ny soa ho hitan'i Ziona kosa] Lozanao, ry ilay mandroba, nefa tsy norobaina ianao! Ary mamitaka, nefa tsy nofitahina ianao! Rehefa mitsahatra ny mandrava ianao, dia vao horavana kosa; Ary rehefa mitsahatra ny mamitaka ianao, dia vao hofitahina kosa.

²Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be their arm every morning, yea, our salvation in the time of trouble.

²Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo aminay; Hianao no antenainay; Aoka ho sandrinay isa-maraina ianao sy ho famonjena anay amin'ny andro fahoriana. [heb. sandriny]

³At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

³Ny feon'ny fitabatabana no mampandositra ny firenena; Raha misandratra Hianao, dia mipariaka ny jentilisa.

⁴And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it.

⁴Ary ireny handevona ny babonareo tahaka ny fandevon'ny valala, tahaka ny fifanaretsaky ny kalalao no fifanaretsany eo aminy.

⁵Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness;

⁵Manerinarina Jehovah, fa mitoetra any amin'ny avo Izy; Nofenoiny rariny sy fahamarinana Ziona.

⁶and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure.

⁶Ary hisy andro tsy manam-piovana ho anao, eny, haren'ny famonjena sy ny fahendrena ary ny fahalalana; Ny fahatahorana an'i Jehovah no rakitrao. [Heb. rakiny]

⁷Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.

⁷Indreo, ny lehilahy maheriny mitaraina eny ivelany; Ny iraka nitady fihavanana dia mitomany mafy.

⁸The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

⁸Maty ny lalambe; Tsy misy ny mpandeha; Nofoanany ny fanekena; Nalany baraka ny tanàna; Tsy nanaja olona izy.

⁹The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.

⁹Misaona ny tany ka milofika; Menatra Libanona ka malazo; Efa tonga tahaka ny tani-hay Sarôna, Ary manintsana Basana sy Karmela.

¹⁰Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

¹⁰Ankehitriny dia hitsangana Aho, hoy Jehovah; Ankehitriny dia ho any amin'ny avo Aho; Ankehitriny dia hisandratra Aho.

¹¹Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you [as] fire.

¹¹Torontoronina bozaka ianareo ka miteraka vodivary; Ny fofonainareo dia tahaka ny afo handevona anareo.

¹²And the peoples shall be [as] burnings of lime, [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

¹²Ary ny firenena ho tahaka ny fandoroan-tsokay, eny, ho tahaka ny tsilo notombohina izay mirehitra amin'ny afo izy.

¹³Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

¹³Mihainoa ny amin'izay efa nataoko, ianareo izay lavitra, ary aoka hahafantatra ny heriko ianareo izay akaiky.

¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames?

¹⁴Raiki-tahotra ny mpanota ao Ziona; Horohoro no nahazo ny mpihatsaravela-tsihy. Iza amintsika no hahatoetra amin'ny afo mandevona? Iza amintsika moa no hahatoetra amin'ny lelafo mandrakizay? [Na: ratsy fanahy]

¹⁵-- He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:

¹⁵Izay mandeha amin'ny fahamarinana sady miteny zava-mahitsy, izay tsy mety mandray harena amin'ny fanaovana an-keriny fa manifikifika ny tanany mba tsy handray kolikoly, izay manentsin-tadiny mba tsy handrenesany ny amin'ny fandatsahan-drà sady manakimpy ny masony mba tsy hahita ny ratsy;

¹⁶he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure.

¹⁶Izy no honina ao amin'ny avo; Ny fitoerana avony dia ny fiarovana any amin'ny harambato; Izay hohaniny dia homena azy, ary ny rano hosotroiny tsy ho diso.

¹⁷Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.

¹⁷Ny masonao hahita ny mpanjaka amin'ny hatsaran-tarehiny sady hahatsinjo tany malalaka dia malalaka.

¹⁸Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

¹⁸Hotsaroan'ny fonao ilay nahatahotra: Aiza ny mpanoratra ? Aiza ny mpandanja? Aiza ny mpanisa ny tilikambo?

¹⁹Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.

¹⁹Ny firenena misetaseta dia tsy ho hitanao intsony, dia ilay olona miboediboedi-piteny ka tsy fantatra, na ny lela mikodedidedy ka tsy azo.

²⁰Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;

²⁰Tsiniovy Ziona, dia ilay tanàna fihaonantsika tamin'ny fotoam-pivavahana; Ny masonao hahita an'i Jerosalema ho fonenana mandry fahizay, dia lay izay tsy hafindra, ny tsimatra aminy tsy hongotana mandrakizay, ary tsy hisy hotapahina ny kofehiny.

²¹but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, -- a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

²¹Fa Jehovah dia mahery ho antsika any, tany be ony sy lahin-drano lehibe any, nefa sy halehan'ny sambo voizina, na hovakin'ny sambo lehibe.

²²For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.

²²Fa Jehovah no Mpitsara antsika; Jehovah no mpanome lalàna antsika; Jehovah no mpanjakantsika; Izy no hamonjy antsika.

²³Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

²³Mivaha ny mahazakan-tsambonao; Tsy mahahazona mafy ny fiorenan'andry izy, na mahavelatra ny lay; Fa amin'izay kosa dia hozaraina ny zavatra be voababo; Na dia ny mandringa aza dia mba hahazo babo ihany.Tsy hisy amin'ny mponina ao hilaza hoe: Marary aho; Ny olona izay mitoetra ao dia voavela heloka.

²⁴And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven [their] iniquity.

²⁴Tsy hisy amin'ny mponina ao hilaza hoe: Marary aho; Ny olona izay mitoetra ao dia voavela heloka.
