¹[Faminaniana ny amin'i Amona] Ny amin'ny taranak'i Amona, Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Moa tsy manan-janakalahy va Isiraely? Ary tsy manan-kandova va izy? Koa nahoana Gada no lasan'ny mpanjakany, ary ny vahoakany monina ao amin'ny tanànany?[Na: Malkana]

¹Concerning the sons of Ammon: `Thus said Jehovah: Sons — hath Israel none? heir — hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?

²Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hampandrenesako akoran'ady amin'ny famelezana an'i Raban'ny taranak'i Amona, ary ho tanànaolo rava izy, ary ny zana-bohiny hodorana amin'ny afo; Ary ny Isiraely hahalasa ny an'izay nahalaza azy, hoy Jehovah.

²Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap — a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.

³Midradradradrà, ry Hesbona, fa rava Ay! Mitaraina, ianareo zanakavavin'i Raba! Misikina lamba fisaonana ianareo; Manaova fisaonana, ary mivoivoiza eo anaty fefy; Fa lasan-ko babo ny mpanjakany, dia ny mpisorony sy ireo mpanapaka azy.

³Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.

⁴Nahoana no ny lohasaha no ataonao ho reharehanao, dia ny lohasahanao mahavokatra be. Ry zanakavavy mpiodina, izay mitoky amin'ny rakiny ka manao hoe: Iza moa no ho afa-miakatra atỳ amiko?

⁴What — dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?

⁵Indro Aho hahatonga tahotra aminao avy amin'izay rehetra manodidina anao, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro; Ary horoahina samy hizotra amin'izay hitsiny avy ianareo rehetra, sady tsy hisy hamory izay mandositra.

⁵Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.

⁶Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hampodiko ihany avy amin'ny fahababoana ny taranak'i Amona, hoy Jehovah.

⁶And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.`

⁷[Faminaniana ny amin'i Edoma] Ny amin'i Edoma. Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Tsy misy fahendrena intsony va ao Temana? Very saina va ny olon-kendry? Lany va ny fahendreny?

⁷Concerning Edom: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?

⁸Mandosira, miambohoa ianareo, mamitsaha ao amin'ny lalina, ry mponina any Dedana, fa ny loza ho an'i Esao dia nataoko nihatra taminy, dia ny andro hamaliako azy.

⁸Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.

⁹Raha tonga ao aminao ny mpioty voaloboka, dia tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina akory izy; Raha avy alina ny mpangalatra, dia handrava mandra-pahafa-pony izy.

⁹If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!

¹⁰Izaho dia nampitanjaka an'i Esao, ary naharihariko ny fiereny, ka tsy mahazo miery izy; Ringana ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny ary ny namany, ka tsy ao intsony ireny.

¹⁰For I — I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.

¹¹Ilaozy ny zanakao ho kamboty, fa Izaho no hamelona azy, ary aoka Izaho no hitokian'ny vadinao mpitondratena.

¹¹Leave thine orphans — I do keep alive, And thy widows — on Me trust ye,

¹²Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, fa na dia izay tsy tokony hisotro amin'ny kapoaka aza dia hisotro tokoa, ka moa ho afa-potsiny va ianao? Tsy ho afa-potsiny ianao, fa tsy maintsy hisotro tokoa.

¹²For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.

¹³Fa ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah, fa ho tonga figagana Bozra sy ho fandatsa sy ho rava ary ho fanozonana, ary ny tanànany rehetra ho lao mandrakizay.

¹³For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling — is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.

¹⁴Fa efa nahare filazana avy tamin'i Jehovah aho, ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin'ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mivoria ianareo, ka mankanesa hamely azy, ary mitsangàna hanafika.

¹⁴A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.

¹⁵Fa, indro, hataoko tsinontsinona eo amin'ny firenena ianao sy fanazimbazimba eo amin'ny olona,

¹⁵For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.

¹⁶Ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, Izay mifikitra amin'ny tampon'ny havoana, ny fahatahorana anao sy ny avonavon'ny fonao no namitaka anao; Fa na dia ataonao eny amin'ny avo tahaka ny an'ny voromahery aza ny akaninao, dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁶Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁷Ary ho figagana Edoma: Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga ka hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra efa namelezana azy.

¹⁷And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.

¹⁸Ary toy ny nandravana an'i Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin'ny tanàna teny akaikiny, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hisian'olona honina any, na zanak'olombelona hivahiny any.

¹⁸As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.

¹⁹Indro, toy ny fiakatry ny liona avy any amin'ny kirihitrala eny amoron'i Jordana no hiakarany ho any amin'ny misy ahitra mateza; Fa hampandosiriko tampoka Edoma hiala ao, ary izay olona iray voafidy no hotendreko hanapaka azy. Fa iza no tahaka Ahy, ary iza no hifandahatra amiko, ary iza moa no mpiandry ondry mahajanona eo anatrehako?[Heb. ny reharehany][Na: fonenany mafy]

¹⁹Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?

²⁰Koa henoy ny saina avy amin'i Jehovah, Izay nosaininy hamelezana an'i Edoma, sy ny heviny izay noheveriny hamelezana ny mponina ao Temana: Hoviraviraina tokoa ireny, dia ny kely indrindra amin'ny ondry; Ho gaga azy tokoa ny saha fiandrasana azy.

²⁰Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?

²¹Tamin'ny fiezinezin'ny fianjerany dia nihorohoro ny tany; Ny feon'ny fitarainany dia re hatrany amin'ny Ranomasina Mena.

²¹From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry — at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.

²²Indro, hanidina hiakatra toy ny voromahery izy ka hamelatra ny elany eny ambonin'i Bozra; Ary amin'izany andro izany ny fon'ny lehilahy maherin'i Edoma dia ho tahaka ny fon'ny vehivavy mihetsi- jaza.

²²Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!`

²³[Faminaniana ny amin'i Damaskosy] Ny amin'i Damaskosy. Very hevitra Hamata sy Arpada, fa nandre filazan-doza izy ka kivy; Misamboaravoara ny ranomasina ka tsy mety tafatoetra.[Na: Misy fanahiana hatrany an-dranomasina aza; tsy mahita fiononana ny olona]

²³Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.

²⁴Efa ketraka Damaskosy ka mihodina handositra, fa, toran-kovitra izy; Ary azon'ny faharariana sy ny fanaintainana, toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka.

²⁴Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.

²⁵Nahoana re no tsy nilaozana ny tanàna malaza, tanana fifaliako![Na: Indrisy! efa lao ny tanàna malaza]

²⁵How is it not left — the city of praise, The city of my joy!

²⁶Ka dia hiampatrampatra eny an-kalalahana ny zatovony. Ary ny miaramila rehetra ho ringana avokoa amin'izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro.

²⁶Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

²⁷Ary hisy afo hampirehetiko ao anatin'ny mandan'i Damaskosy, handevona ny lapan'i Beni-hadada.

²⁷And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!`

²⁸[Faminaniana ny amin'i Kedara sy Hazora] Ny amin'i Kedara sy ny fanjakan'i Hazora, izay resin'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona. Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Mitsangàna ianareo, ka miakara hamely an'i Kedara, ary aringano ny zanaky ny atsinanana.

²⁸Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: `Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.

²⁹Halainy ny lainy sy ny ondry aman'osiny, ho entin'ny ambain-dainy mbamin'ny fanaka rehetra sy ny ramevany, sady hiantsoantso hilaza aminy hoe izy: Misy fampangorohoroana manodidina!

²⁹Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about.

³⁰Mandosira, ka mandehana lavitra! Mamitsaha ao amin'ny lalina, ry mponina any Hazora! hoy Jehovah; Fa Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, nanao saina hamelezany anareo sy namoron-kevitra hamelezany anareo.[Heb. azy]

³⁰Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.

³¹Mitsangàna, iakaro ny firenena miadana izay tsy manana ahiahy, hoy Jehovah. Dia izay tsy misy vavahady mirindrina na mihidy sady mitoka- monina.

³¹Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.

³²Ho babo ny ramevany, ary horobaina ny omby aman'ondriny betsaka, haeliko ho any amin'ny rivotra rehetra ireo voahety sisim-bolo; Ary ho entiko avy amin'ny manodidina rehetra ny loza hanjo azy, hoy Jehovah,

³²And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.

³³Ary Hazora dia ho fonenan'ny amboadia sy ho tany lao mandrakizay; Tsy hisy olona honina any, Na zanak'olombelona hivahiny any.[Na: jakala]

³³And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation — unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!`

³⁴[Faminaniana ny amin'i Elama] Ny tenin'i Jehovah izay tonga tamin'i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin'i Elama tamin'ny niandohan'ny nanjakan'i Zedekia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, hoe:

³⁴That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:

³⁵Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Indro, hotapatapahiko ny tsipìkan'i Elama, Izay fototry ny heriny.

³⁵`Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.

³⁶Ary hitondra Avotra efatra avy amin'ny lafiny efatry ny lanitra Aho hamelezana an'i Elama, ary haeliko ho amin'izany rivotra rehetra izany izy, ka tsy hisy firenena izay tsy halehan'ny voaroaka avy any Elama.

³⁶And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.

³⁷Fa hampivadi-po an'i Elama eo anoloan'ny fahavalony sy eo anoloan'izay mitady ny ainy Aho ka hahatonga loza aminy, dia ny firehetan'ny fahatezerako, hoy Jehovah; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra Mandra-pandaniko azy;

³⁷And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;

³⁸Dia hapetrako ao Elasma ny seza fiandrianako. Ary hofongorako tsy hisy intsony any na ny mpanjaka na ny mpanapaka, hoy Jehovah.Nefa any am-parany dia mbola hampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoany ihany Elama, hoy Jehovah.

³⁸And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes — an affirmation of Jehovah.

³⁹Nefa any am-parany dia mbola hampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoany ihany Elama, hoy Jehovah.

³⁹And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!`
