¹Ny fahitan'Isaia, zanak'i Amoza, izay hitany ny amin'ny Joda sy Jerosalema tamin'ny andron'i Ozia sy Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezekia, izay samy mpanjakan'ny Joda.

¹The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

²[Ny alahelon'i Jehovah noho ny niodinan'ny Isiraely, ary ny nananarany azy sy ny nokasainy hatao aminy] Mandrenesa, ry lanitra, ary mihainoa, ry tany, Fa Jehovah no miteny hoe: Efa nitaiza sy nahalehibe zaza Aho, Kanjo niodina tamiko ireo.

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.

³Ny omby mahalala ny tompony, Ary ny boriky ny fihinanam-bilon'ny tompony; Fa ny Isiraely tsy mahalala, Ny oloko tsy misaina.

³An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

⁴Indrisy! firenena mpanota, olona mavesa-keloka, Taranaka mpanao ratsy, zanaka mpanao meloka! Efa nahafoy an'i Jehovah izy, Efa nanamavo ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely. Efa nihodina izy.

⁴Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.

⁵Nahoana no mbola ta-hasiana ihany ianareo noho izao fiodinanareo lalandava izao? Henika aretina avokoa ny loha rehetra, Ary marary ny fo rehetra.

⁵Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.

⁶Hatramin'ny faladia ka hatramin'ny loha dia tsy misy izay tsy marary, Fa ratra sy dian-kapoka ary fery vao; Tsy mbola voaporitra, na voafehy, na voalemin'ny diloilo izy.

⁶From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.

⁷Ny taninareo dia efa lao; Ny tanànanareo dia voadotra tamin'ny afo; Ny tany volenareo dia lanin'ny fahavalo eo imasonareo, ary lao izy toy ny efa noravan'ny fahavalo.[Heb. hafa firenena]

⁷Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!

⁸Ary Ziona zanakavavy dia nilaozana tahaka ny trano rantsan-kazo ao anaty tanim-boaloboka, Sy tahaka ny fandriana mihantona an'ny mpiandry voly ao anaty tanimbolim-boantango, Dia tahaka ny tanàna atao fahirano.[voantangom-bazaha]

⁸And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.

⁹Raha tsy nosisan'i Jehovah. Tompon'ny maro, olona vitsivitsy isika, Dia efa tonga tahaka an'i Sodoma Ary nitovy tamin'i Gomora.

⁹Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

¹⁰Mandrenesa ny tenin'i Jehovah, ry mpitsaran'i Sodoma; Mihainoa ny lalàn'Andriamanitsika, ry vahoakan'i Gomora.

¹⁰Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,

¹¹Hataoko inona ny zavatra betsaka vonoinareo ho fanatitra? hoy Jehovah; Efa tofoka ny ondrilahy atao fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran'ny zanak'omby mifahy Aho, Ary tsy sitrako ny ran'ny vantotr'ombilahy sy ny an'ny zanak'ondry ary ny an'ny osilahy.

¹¹`Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.

¹²Raha avy miseho eo anatrehako ianareo, Iza moa no nitady anareo hanitsakitsaka ny kianjako?

¹²When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?

¹³Aza mitondra fanati-poana intsony; Fofona fahavetavetana amiko izany! Ny voaloham-bolana sy ny Sabata ary ny fiantsoam-piangonana Tsy zakako ny fivoriana masina haroharoam-paharatsiana!

¹³Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!

¹⁴Ny voaloham-bolanareo sy ny fotoam-pivavahanareo dia halan'ny fanahiko, Mavesatra amiko izany, Ka sasatra mitondra azy Aho.

¹⁴Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.

¹⁵Raha mananty tanana ianareo, Dia hitampi-maso tsy hijery anareo Aho; Eny, na dia manao vavaka be aza ianareo, dia tsy hihaino Aho; Feno ran'olona ny tananareo.[Heb. rà nalatsaka]

¹⁵And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

¹⁶Misasà ianareo, diovy ny tenanareo, Esory tsy ho eo anoloan'ny masoko ny ratsy fanaonareo; Mitsahara, fa aza manao ratsy;

¹⁶Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.

¹⁷Mianara hanao ny tsara, Diniho izay rariny, anaro ny mpampahory, Omeo rariny ny kamboty, tsarao ny adin'ny mpitondratena.

¹⁷Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.

¹⁸Avia ary hifandahatra isika, hoy Jehovah: Na dia tahaka ny jaky aza ny fahotanareo, Dia ho fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala, Na dia mangatrakatraka tahaka ny sily aza, Dia ho tahaka ny volon'ondry fotsy.

¹⁸Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

¹⁹Raha manaiky sy mankatò ianareo, dia hihinana ny voka-tsoa amin'ny tany;

¹⁹If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

²⁰Fa raha mbola mandà sy miodina ihany ianareo, Dia ho lanin'ny sabatra: Fa ny vavan'i Jehovah no efa niteny.

²⁰And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

²¹Indrisy! tonga janga ity tanàna mahatoky Izay feno ny rariny taloha Sady nitoeran'ny fahamarinana, Fa ankehitriny kosa mpamono olona no ao.

²¹How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.

²²Ny volafotsinao efa tonga tain-drendrika; Ny divainao efa voatsatso rano;

²²Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.

²³Ny lehibenao dia mpiodina sady naman'ny mpangalatra; Samy tia kolikoly sy fatra-nitady tambitam-by avokoa izy rehetra; Ny kamboty tsy mba omeny rariny, Ary ny adin'ny mpitondratena tsy avelany ho entina eo anatrehany.

²³Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

²⁴Ka dia hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Ilay Maherin'ny Isiraely: E! hiala fo amin'ny mandrafy Ahy Aho Ary hamaly ny fahavaloko.

²⁴Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,

²⁵Dia hamerina ny tanako ho aminao Aho, Ka hodioviko amin'ny lavenona ianao hahafahan'ny tain-drendrikao, ary hesoriko ny firaka rehetra aminao.[Heb. sirahazo]

²⁵And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,

²⁶Dia hampodiko ho toy ny teo aloha ny mpitsaranao, Ary ny mpanolo-tsainao ho toy ny tamin'ny voalohany; Ary rehefa afaka izany, ianao dia hantsoina hoe: Tanànan'ny fahamarinana, Tanàna mahatoky.

²⁶And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness — a faithful city.`

²⁷Ziona havotana amin'ny fitsarana, ary izay efa mibebaka ao dia havotana amin'ny fahamarinana;[Heb. miverina]

²⁷Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.

²⁸Ary samy haringana avotoa ny mpiodina sy ny mpanota, Eny, ho lany ritra izay mahafoy an'i Jehovah.

²⁸And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.

²⁹Fa hahazo henatra ianareo noho ny amin'ny hazo terebinta izay nifalianareo, ary hangaihay ianareo noho ny amin'ny saha izay natokanareo.[Heb. izy]

²⁹For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.

³⁰Fa ho tahaka ny hazo terebinta malazo ravina ianareo, Sy ho tahaka ny saha tsy misy rano.Ny mahery ho tahaka ny vohavoha, Ary ny asany ho tahaka ny kilalaon'afo, Dia hiaraka hodorana izy roa tonta, Ka tsy hisy hamono ny afo.

³⁰For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.

³¹Ny mahery ho tahaka ny vohavoha, Ary ny asany ho tahaka ny kilalaon'afo, Dia hiaraka hodorana izy roa tonta, Ka tsy hisy hamono ny afo.

³¹And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
