Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
Mihanoa Ahy, ianareo izay miezaka mitady fahamarinana, dia izay mitady an’ i Jehovah: Tsarovy ny vatolampy izay nakana anareo sy ny ati-lavaka izay nihadiana anareo.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
Eny, tsarovy Abrahama rainareo sy Saraha, izay niteraka anareo; fa fony mbola tokana izy, dia nantsoiko sy notahiko ary nohamaroiko.
3 For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Fa Jehovah mampionona an’ i Ziona; Eny, mampionona izay rava rehetra ao Izy Ka manao ny efitra ao ho tahaka an’ i Edena. Ary ny tany foana ao ho tahaka ny sahan’ i Jehovah; Hafaliana sy haravoana no hita ao mbamin’ ny fisaorana sy ny feo fiderana.
4 Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
Mihainea Ahy, ry vahoakako, ary atongilano amiko ny sofinareo, ry oloko; fa hisy lalàna hivoaka avy amiko, ary ny fitsipiko dia hampitoeriko ho fanazavana ny firenena.
5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Akaiky ny fahamarinako, efa nivoaka ny famonjeko, ary ny sandriko no hitsara ny firenena; izaho no hantenain’ ny nosy, ary ny sandriko no andrasany.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Andrandrao ho amin’ ny lanitra ny masonareo, ary jereo ny tany ambany; fa ny lanitra ho levona tahaka ny setroka, ary tany ho tahaky ny lamba mangarahara, ary ny mponina ao dia ho faty tampoka; fa ny famonjena kosa haharitra mandrakizay, ary ny fahamarinako tsy mba ho rava.
7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
Mihainoa ahy, ianareo izay mahalala ny fahamarinana, dia ianao, ry firenena izay manana ny lalàko ao am-ponao; aza matahotra ny latsa ataon’ ny zanak’ olombelona, na manahy noho ny faharatsiany.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations.
Fa ny kalalao hihinana azy tahaka ny fihinan-damba, ary lolo fotsy hihinana azy tahaka ny fihinam-bolon’ ondry; fa ny fahamarinako haharitra mandrakizay, ary famonjena hihatra amin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?
Mifohaza, mifohaza, ry sandrin’ i Jehovah, mitafia hery! Mifohaza tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro fahiny! dia tamin’ ny taranaka lasa ela. Tsy Hianao va Ilay nitetitetika an-dRahaba sy nitomboka ny dragona?
10 Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Tsy Hianao va Ilay nahamaina ny ranomasina, dia ny rano ao amin’ ny lalina indrindra, ka nanao ny ranomasina lalina ho lalana halehan’ ny navotana?
11 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Eny, ny navotan’ i Jehovah hiverina ka hankany Ziona amin’ ny fihobiana, ary ny fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; hahazo fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; hahazo fifaliana faharavoravoana izy, ka dia handositra ny alahelo sy ny fisentoana.
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
Izaho dia Izaho no mpampionona anareo, koa nahoana ianao no dia matahotra ny zanak’ olombelona mety maty sy ny zanak’ olona hatao tahaka ny ahitra
13 and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
ka manadino an’ i Jehovah, Mpanao anao, izay namelatra ny lanitra sy nanorina ny tany, sady matahotra lalandava mandritra ny andro ianao noho ny fahatezeran’ ny mpampahory, raha mikendry hamono izy? Fa aiza intsony izay fahatezeran’ ny mpampahory?
14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
Izay mitanondrika dia ho afaka faingana; Tsy ho faty havarina ao an-davaka izy ary tsy ho diso hanina.
15 For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Fa Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrao, Izay mampanonja ny ranomasina, ka dia mirohondrohona ny onjany; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarako.
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
Ary nataoko eo am-bavanao ny teniko, ary ao amin’ ny aloky ny tanako no nanaronako anao, hanao ny lanitra sy hanorina ny tany Aho ary hanao an’ i Ziona hoe: Oloko ianao.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Mifohaza, mifohaza, mitsangana, ry Jerosalema ô, izay efa nisotro ny kapoaky ny fahatezerana avy tamin’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah; eny, ny kapoaka gobilia mampiraikiraiky dia efa nisotroanao, ka notrohinao mbamin’ ny faikany.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up.
Tsy misy mitondra azy ny zananilahy rehetra izay naterany; ary tsy misy mitantana azy ny zananilahy rehetra izay notezainy.
19 These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
Izao zavatra roa Izao no hanjo anao (Iza no hanony ny alahelonao?): Fandravana sy fandringanana ary mosary sy sabatra, koa hataoko ahoana no fampionona anao?
20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
Ny zanakao-lahy efa reraka, ka miapokapoka eny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny izy, tahaka ny diera ao anatin’ ny fandrika harato eny, tahaka ny olona rakotry ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah sy ny teny mafy ataon’ Andriamanitrao.
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Koa mihainoa izao, ianao ry ilay ory sady mamo tsy amin-divay:
22 Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tomponao, dia Andriamanitrao, Izay mandaha-teny ho an’ ny olony: Indro, esoriko eny an-tananao ny kapoaka mampiraikiraiky, dia ny kapoaka gobilian’ ny fahatezerako; Tsy hisotroanao intsony iny,
23 and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
Fa hataoko eo an-tànan’ izay mampahory anao kosa, dia izay efa nilaza taminao hoe: Miankohofa mba hohitsahinay, ka dia nataonao ho tahaka ny tany ny tenanao sy ho tahaka ny lalambe ho an’ izay mandeha eo.
