< Isaiah 54 >

1 Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.
Mihobia, ry momba, ianao izay tsy niteraka, eny, velomy ny hoby, ka manandrata feo, ianao izay tsy mba nihetsi-jaza; fa ny zanaky ny mpitondra tena dia maro noho ny zanaky ny manambady, hoy Jehovah.
2 Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.
Halalaho ny itoeran’ ny lainao, ary aoka hohenjanina ny ambain-dainao, ka aza avela hisy hiketrona; halavao ny kofehinao, ary aoreno mafy ny tsima-dainao;
3 For I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.
Fa hitatra any amin’ ny ankavanana sy any amin’ ny ankavia ianao, ary ny taranakao hahazo ny jentilisa, ka dia hasiany mponina ny tanàna lao.
4 Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.
Aza matahotra, fa tsy ho menatra ianao; ary aza mangaihay, fa tsy havela ho afa-baraka ianao; fa ho hadinonao ny henatry ny fahatanoranao, ary tsy ho tsaroanao intsony ny tondromasonao fony mpitondratena.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.
Fa ny Mpanao anao no Vadinao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany; Ary ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely no Mpanavotra anao, Andriamanitry ny tany rehetra no anarany.
6 For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.
Fa Jehovah efa nampody anao, izay tahaka ny vady efa nafoy ka ory am-panahy, ary tahaka ny vady efa novadina hatry ny fony mbola tanora, fa efa napetraka, hoy Andriamanitrao.
7 For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.
Indray mipi-maso monja no nahafoizako anao; fa amin’ ny indrafo lehibe kosa no ampodiako anao.
8 In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.
Tamin’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerako no nanafenako ny tavako taminao indray mipi-maso monja, fa amin’ ny famindram-po mandrakizay kosa no amindrako fo aminao, hoy Jehovah, Mpanavotra anao.
9 For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
Fa amiko izany dia tahaka ilay ranon’ i Noa, ka toy ny nianianako fa tsy hanafotra ny tany intsony ilay ranon’ i Noa. Dia toy izany no ianianako fa tsy ho tezitra aminao na hiteny mafy anao intsony Aho.
10 For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.
Fa na dia hifindra aza ny tendrombohitra ary na dia hihetsika aza ny havoana, tsy mba hiala aminao ny famindram-peko, ary tsy hitsoaka ny faneken’ ny fihavanako, hoy Jehovah, Mpamindra fo aminao.
11 O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.
Hianao, ry ory izay afotofoton’ ny tafiodrivotra sady tsy manana fampiononana, indro, Izaho handatsaka ny vatonao amin’ ny antimony sy hanorina ny fanambaninao amin’ ny safira,
12 I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.
Hataoko robina ny tilikambo madinikao, sy karbonkolo ny vavahadinao, ary vato soa ny faritaninao manodidina.
13 And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
Ary ny zanakao rehetra dia ho samy efa nampianarin’ i Jehovah, ka dia ho be ny fiadanan’ ny zanakao.
14 All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.
Amin’ ny fahamarinana no hampiorenana anao; aza manahy ny fampahoriana, fa tsy hatahotra ianao, na ny fampahatahorana, fa tsy hanakaiky anao izany.
15 See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.
Na dia misy miara-mioko aza, dia tsy avy amiko izany; ary na iza na iza miara-mioko hamely anao dia ho tonga hiandany aminao kosa.
16 See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.
Indro, Izaho no nahary ny mpanefy izay mifofotra ny afo amin’ ny arina ka mahavita fiasana hanaovany ny asany; Ary Izaho koa no nahary ny mpandringana mba handringana.
17 No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
Ny fiadiana rehetra izay voaforona hamelezana anao dia tsy hisy hambinina, ary ny lela rehetra izay miady aminao dia horesenao lahatra. Izany no lovan’ ny mpanompon’ i Jehovah sy fahamarinany avy amiko, hoy Jehovah.
