Isaiah 55
1 Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.
He! ianareo rehetra izay mangetaheta, mankanesa amin’ ny rano! Ary ianareo izay tsy manam-bola, avia, mividia, ka homàna! Eny, avia, mividia divay sy ronono, nefa tsy amim-bola, na amin-karena.
2 Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.
Nahoana ianareo no mandany vola amin’ izay tsy hanina, ary ny vokatry ny fisasaranareo amin’ izay tsy mahavoky? Mihainoa dia mihainoa Ahy, ka hano izay tsara, dia aoka hiravoravo amin’ ny matavy ny fanahinareo.
3 Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.
Atongilano ny sofinareo, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko, mihainoa, dia ho velombelona ny fanahinareo; ary hanao fanekena mandrakizay aminareo Aho, dia ny famindram-po mahatoky nampanantenaina an’ i Davida.
4 See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.
Indro, nataoko vavolombelona ho an’ ny firenena Izy, ho mpanapaka sy komandy amin’ ny firenena.
5 See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.
Indro, firenena izay tsy fantatrao no hantsoinao, ary firenena izay tsy nahalala Anao no hihazakazaka ho aminao noho ny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, sy ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, fa nomeny voninahitra Hianao.
6 Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:
Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dieny mbola hita Izy, Miantsoa Azy, dieny mbola akaiky Izy.
7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
Aoka ny ratsy fanahy hahafoy ny lalany, ary ny tsy marina hahafoy ny heviny; ary aoka hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah ireny, fa hamindra fo aminy Izy, Eny, ho amin’ Andriamanitsika, fa hamela heloka dia hamela heloka tokoa Izy.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.
Fa ny fihevitro tsy fihevitrareo ary ny lalanareo kosa tsy mba lalako, hoy Jehovah.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Fa tahaka ny hahavon’ ny lanitra noho ny tany no hahavon’ ny lalako noho ny lalanareo sy ny fihevitro noho ny fihevitrareo.
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;
Fa toy ny ranonorana sy ny oram-panala milatsaka avy any an-danitra ka tsy miverina any raha tsy efa nahavonto ny tany ka nampaniry sy nampahavokatra azy, mba hahatonga voa ho an’ ny mpamafy sy hanina ho an’ ny mpihinana,
11 So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.
Dia ho tahaka izany ny teniko izay aloaky ny vavako: Tsy hiverina amiko foana izy, raha tsy efa mahatanteraka izay sitrako ary ambinina amin’ izay ampandehanako azy.
12 For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
Fa amin’ ny fifaliana no hivoahanareo, ary amin’ ny fiadanana no hitondrana anareo; ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana hahavelona hoby eo alohanareo, ary ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha hitehatanana.
13 In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.
Ny hazo kypreso haniry ho solon’ ny tsilo, ary ny rotra ho solon’ ny sampivato; ary ho anarana ho an’ i Jehovah izany, dia ho famantarana mandrakizay izay tsy hesorina.
