¹I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.

¹[Ny amin'ny Isiraely. tanim-boalobok'i Jehovah, sy ny hanjo azy] Aoka aho hihira ny amin'ny Malalako, dia hiran'ny Malalako ny amin'ny tanim-boalobony. Ny Malalako nanana tanim-boaloboka tao an-kavoana lonaka;[Na: ho an']

²And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.

²Dia nasainy io, ka nesoriny ny vato, Ary novoleny karazam-boaloboka tsara, Sady nanao tilikambo teo afovoany Izy Ary nandavaka famiazam-boaloboka teo; Dia nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Izy, Kanjo namoa voalobo-dratsy.

³And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

³Koa noho izany, ry mponina any Jerosalema sy ry lehilahy amin'ny Joda, Masìna ianareo, tsarao Aho sy ny tanim-boaloboko.

⁴What was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? --

⁴Inona moa no mbola azo natao tamin'ny tanim-boaloboko, Ka tsy efa nataoko taminy? Koa raha nanantena azy hamoa voaloboka tsara Aho, Nahoana no namoa voalobo-dratsy izy?

⁵And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;

⁵Koa noho izany dia aoka hambarako anareo izay hataoko amin'ny tanim-boaloboko: Hesoriko ny fefy tsilony, ka dia holevonina izy; Ary harodako ny fefy vatony, ka dia ho voahitsakitsaka izy;

⁶and I will make it a waste -- it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁶Ary hataoko simba dia simba izy; Tsy hohetezana ny sakeli-boalobony, ary tsy hohevoina izy, Fa ho rakotry ny hery sy ny tsilo; Ary hodidiako ny rahona tsy hampilatsaka ranonorana aminy. [Heb. rahona matevina]

⁷For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.

⁷Fa ny taranak'i Isiraely no tanim-boalobok'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Ary ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda no voly tiany; Dia nanantena fitsarana marina Izy, kanjo fandatsahan-drà; Niandry fahamarinana Izy, kanjo, indro, fitarainana.[Na: fampahoriana]

⁸Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!

⁸Lozanareo izay mangorona trano lalandava Sady mampiharo vala ny saha amin'ny saha, Ambara-paha-tsy hisy hitoeran'ny sasany intsony, Mba ho tonga mponina manirery eo amin'ny tany ianareo!

⁹In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.

⁹Izao no ren'ny sofiko avy amin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Marina tokoa fa ho foana ny trano maro, Eny, na dia izay lehibe sady tsara aza dia tsy hisy mpitoetra.

¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.

¹⁰Ary bata iray monja no ho vokatry ny tanim-boaloboka folo Zemeda, Ary rehefa iray monja no ho vokatry ny voan-javatra eran'ny homera.[Zemeda dia anaram-pandrefesana, tokony ho antsasaky ny akera]

¹¹Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!

¹¹Lozan'izay mifoha maraina koa ka mitady toaka! Izay miboboka mandra-paharivan'ny andro ka ampirehetin'ny divay!

¹²And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.

¹²Ary ny lokanga sy ny valiha, ny ampongatapaka sy ny sodina ary ny divay no foto-panasany; Fa ny asan'i Jehovah tsy mba jereny, Ary ny ataon'ny tanany tsy mba hitany.

¹³Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

¹³Ary noho izany dia ho lasan-ko babo ny oloko noho ny tsi-fahalalany, Ary ny olona ambony ho mosarena, Ary ny valalabemandry ho main'ny hetaheta.

¹⁴Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her.

¹⁴Koa izany no mampitanatana vava ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hanao teli-moka an'i Jerosalema; Ary any no hivarinan'ny voninahiny sy ny fihahohahony ary ny tabatabany mbamin'izay mifalifaly ao aminy;[He. Sheola][Heb. azy]

¹⁵And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;

¹⁵Ary ny zanak'olombelona dia hatao mitanondrika, Ary ny olona haetry, Ary ny mason'ny miandranandrana dia haidina.

¹⁶and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy ùGod hallowed in righteousness.

¹⁶Fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no hisandratra amin'ny fitsarana, Ary Andriamanitra masina dia hiseho ho masina amin'ny fahamarinana.

¹⁷And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

¹⁷Ary ny zanak'ondry hikania toy ny eny amin'ny tany fiandrasana azy ihany; Ary ny tany foana izay nipetrahan'ny matavy, dia mpirenireny no hiandry ondry ao.

¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!

¹⁸Lozan'izay mitari-keloka amin'ny kofehin'ny faharatsiana Ary mitarika ota toy ny amin'ny mahazakan-tsariety,

¹⁹who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

¹⁹Dia izay manao hoe: Aoka hohafainganiny sy hododonany ny asany, mba ho hitantsika, Ary aoka izay kasain'ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely ho mby akaiky ka ho tanteraka, mba ho fantatsika!

²⁰Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²⁰Lozan'izay milaza ny ratsy ho tsara ary na tsara ho ratsy! Izay manao ny maizina ho mavaza ary ny mazava ho maizina! Izay manao ny mangidy ho mamy ary ny mamy ho mangidy!

²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!

²¹Lozan'izay manao azy ho hendry sy manao azy ho mazava saina!

²²Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;

²²Lozan'izay fatratra nefa amin'ny fisotroan-divay ihany, sy izay kanto nefa amin'ny fampiharoharoana toaka ihany! [Heb. mahery]

²³who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!

²³Ary izay manamarina ny meloka noho ny kolikoly sy manala ny rariny amin'ny marina!

²⁴Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁴Koa toy ny fandevonan'ny lelafo ny mololo, ary toy ny fifitsaky ny bozaka midedadeda, dia toy izany no hahalovan'ny fakany sy hijofoan'ny voniny hanjary vovoka, satria efa nandà ny lalàn'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro izy Sy nanamavo ny tenin'ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely.

²⁵Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

²⁵Koa izany no irehetan'ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah amin'ny olony sy aninjirany ny tànany aminy ka amelezany azy; Dia mihorohoro ny tendrombohitra, ary ny fatin'ny olona dia tonga tahaka ny diky eny an-dalambe. Kanefa, na dia izany rehetra izany aza, dia tsy mbola afaka ihany ny fahatezerany, fa mbola mihinjitra ihany ny tànany.

²⁶And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.

²⁶Ary hanangana faneva ho amin'ny firenena lavitra Izy sady hisiaka hiantso ny iray avy any am-paran'ny tany; Ary, indro, ho avy faingana dia faingana ireo; [Heb. mahery]

²⁷None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;

²⁷Tsy hisy reraka na tafintohina ao aminy; Tsy ho rendrehana na hatory izy: Tsy hiboraka ny fehin-kibony, ary tsy ho tapaka ny fehin-kapany,

²⁸their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.

²⁸Maranitra ny zana-tsipìkany, Ary voahenjana avokoa ny tsipìkany; Ny kitron-tsoavaliny atao ho tahaka ny afovato; Ary ny kodiany ho tahaka ny tadio;

²⁹Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;

²⁹Ny fierony dia tahaka ny fieron'ny liom-bavy, Ary mierona tahaka ny liona tanora izy; Eny, manerona izy ka mandrapaka ny toha, Dia lasany, ka tsy azo alaina intsony.Ary hirohondrohona aminy amin'izany andro izany izy Tahaka ny firohondrohon'ny ranomasina; Ary raha mijery ny tany ny olona, dia indro aizina sy fahoriana; Ary ny fahazavana hohamaizinin'ny rahona.

³⁰and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

³⁰Ary hirohondrohona aminy amin'izany andro izany izy Tahaka ny firohondrohon'ny ranomasina; Ary raha mijery ny tany ny olona, dia indro aizina sy fahoriana; Ary ny fahazavana hohamaizinin'ny rahona.
