¹[Ny nilazan'i Jehovah tamin'ny mpaminany ny amin'ny handringanana ny Kaldeana] Hitsangana eo ambonin'ny fitazanako aho Ary hijoro eo ambonin'ny manda, Hiandry hahitako izay holazainy amiko Sy izay havaliko amin'ny fitarainako.

²Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.

²Dia namaly ahy Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Soraty ny fahitana, ka ataovy velona tsara ny soratra eo amin'ny fàfana, Mba ho azon'ny mihazakazaka hovakina aza.[Na: mba hihazakazahan'izy mamaky azy]

³For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

³Fa ny fahitana dia mbola ho amin'ny fotoan'andro, Ary mikendry ny farany izy ka tsy ho diso; Eny, na dia mitaredretra aza izy, andraso ihany, Fa ho avy tokoa izy ka tsy hijanona.

⁵Ary koa, mamitaka ny divay; Ny olona miavonavona tsy mba mahatoetra, Dia ilay mitanatana vava tahaka ny fiainan-tsi-hita, Eny, toy ny fahafatesana, ka tsy mety voky, Fa manangona ny firenena rehetra ho ao aminy Sy mamory ny olona rehetra ho ao aminy..[Heb. Shoela]

⁶Tsy hanao oha-teny hamelezana azy va ireto rehetra ireto ? Tsy hanao eson-teny sy fitenenana hanoherana azy va izy ka hanao hoe: Lozan'izay mahery mandroaka ny tsy azy! Mandra-pahoviana! dia ilay mivesatra ny zavatra nalaina ho tsatòka[Heb. fampanonona]

⁷Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?

⁷Tsy hitsangana tampoka va izay hanaikitra anao, Ary tsy hifoha va izay hanaitaitra anao, Ka ho babony ianao?

⁸Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.

⁸Fa efa namabo firenena maro ianao, Ka dia mba hobaboin'ny sisa rehetra amin'ny firenena kosa, Noho ny ran'ny olona sy ny fandozana natao tamin'ny tany, Dia tamin'ny tanàna sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.

⁹Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

⁹Lozan'izay fatra-pila harena amin'ny tsy marina ho an'ny taranany, Hanaovany ny akaniny any amin'ny avo, Mba tsy ho tratry ny tanan'ny loza

¹⁰You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.

¹⁰Efa namoron-tsaina izay hahatonga henatra ho an'ny taranakao ianao, Dia ny handringanana firenena maro; Ary nankahà-doza hihatra amin'ny ainao ianao.

¹¹For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.

¹¹Fa hitaraina ny vato ao amin'ny rindrina, Ary ny sakamandimby ao amin'ny trano no hamaly azy.[Heb. hazo]

¹²Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

¹²Lozan'izay manao vohitra amin'ny fandatsahan-drà Sy manorina tanàna amin'ny heloka!

¹³Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

¹³Indro, tsy avy amin'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, va no hiasan'ny olona ho an'ny afo, Sy hisasaran'ny firenena noho ny zava-poana?

¹⁴For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁴Fa ny tany ho feno ny fahalalana ny voninahitr'i Jehovah, Toy ny fanaron'ny rano ny fanambanin'ny ranomasina.

¹⁵“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!

¹⁵Lozan'izay mampisotro divay ny namany Dia ianao izay manampy fahatezerana ka mampahamano azy, Mba hijery ny fitanjahany;

¹⁶You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

¹⁶Efa feno henatra ianao, fa tsy voninahitra; Mba sotroy koa, ka mitanjaha; Hatolotra anao ny kapoaka eny an-tanana ankavanan'i Jehovah, Ary fahamenarana no ho amin'ny voninahitrao. [Na: aoka ho hita fa tsy voafora ianao]

¹⁷For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.

¹⁸Mahasoa inona ny sarin-javatra voasokitra, No misokitra azy ny mpanao azy? Na ny sarin-javatra an-idina sy ny mpampianatra lainga, No matoky azy izay namorona azy Tamin'ny nanaovany sampy moana?

¹⁹Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.

¹⁹Lozan'izay manao amin'ny hazo hoe: Mifohaza! Ary amin'ny vato moana hoe: Mitsangàna! Hampianatra va ireo ? He! voapetaka takela-bolamena sy volafotsy ihany izy, Nefa tsy misy fanahy akory ao anatiny.Jehovah dia ao amin'ny tempoliny masina; Mangina eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!

²⁰But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”

²⁰Jehovah dia ao amin'ny tempoliny masina; Mangina eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!
