¹Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'i Moaba, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nodorany ho sokay ny taolan'ny mpanjakan'i Edoma; [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

¹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,

²Fa hataoko afo ao Moaba, ka handevona ny tranoben'i Kiriota izany; Ary Moaba ho faty amin'ny tabataba sy amin'ny akora ary ny fanenon'ny anjomara;

²And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With shouting, with voice of a trumpet.

³Ary hofoanako tsy hisy mpitsara ao aminy, ary hiaraka hovonoiko izy sy ireo mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy, hoy Jehovah.

³And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.

⁴Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'i Joda, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nataony tsinontsinona ny lalàn'i Jehovah, ary ny didiny tsy notandremany, ary nampahadiso azy ny laingany, izay fanaon'ny razany; [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

⁴Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk,

⁵Fa haterako afo ao Joda, ka handevona ny tranoben'i Jerosalema izany.

⁵And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.

⁶Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon'Isiraely, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria namidiny volafotsy ny olona marina sy kapa iray lomisy ny malahelo, [Heb. tsy hahemotro]

⁶Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals.

⁷Ary mihanahana mitsiriritra ny vovo-tany eo an-dohan'ny malahelo izy sady mamily ny alehan'ny mpandefitra, ary olona mianaka dia samy mandry amin'ny zazavavy iray ihany mba handoto ny anarako masina; [Na: ho eo]

⁷Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.

⁸Amin'ny lamba azony tamin'ny tsatòka izy no mitsilailay eny anilan'ny alitara rehetra, ary misotro divay novidina tamin'ny sazy ao an-tranon'ireo andriamaniny izy. [Heb. divain'y voasazy]

⁸And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.

⁹Nefa Izaho no nandringana ny Amorita teo anoloany, dia olona izay lava tsanganana toy ny hazo sedera sy natanjaka toy ny ôka; Eny, nosimbako ny voany teny ambony sy ny fatany tao ambany.

⁹And I — I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is] as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.

¹⁰Ary Izaho no nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta sady nitari-dalana anareo efa-polo taona tany an-efitra, mba handovanareo ny tanin'ny Amorita,

¹⁰And I — I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.

¹¹Ary ny zanakalahinareo nisy natsangako ho mpaminany, ary ny zatovonareo ho Nazirita. Tsy izany va no izy, ry Zanak'Isiraely? hoy Jehovah.

¹¹And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is not this true, O sons of Israel? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹²Kanjo nampisotroinareo divay ny Nazirita, ary ny mpaminany noraranareo hoe: Aza maminany.

¹²And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, `Do not prophecy!`

¹³Indro, Izaho no hitambesatra aminareo toy ny fitambesatry ny sariety feno amboara. [Na: Izaho dia itambesaranareo]

¹³Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf.

¹⁴Koa tsy ho afa-mandositra ny faingam-pandeha, ny mahery tsy hampiseho hery, ary ny lehilahy mahery tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;

¹⁴And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.

¹⁵Izay mitana tsipìka tsy hahajanona, ary ny faingan-tongotra tsy hahavonjy tena, izay mitaingin-tsoavaly tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;Ary na dia izay sahy ao amin'ny mahery aza dia handositra mitanjaka amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁵And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not [himself], And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul.

¹⁶Ary na dia izay sahy ao amin'ny mahery aza dia handositra mitanjaka amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁶And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah!
