< Isaiah 58 >

1 Make a loud cry, do not be quiet, let your voice be sounding like a horn, and make clear to my people their evil doings, and to the family of Jacob their sins.
Ezaho ny fiantsonao, fa aza atao malemy, Asandrato ny feonao ho tahaka ny an’ ny anjomara, ka ambarao amin’ ny oloko ny fahadisoany Ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba ny fahotany;
2 Though they make prayer to me every day, and take pleasure in the knowledge of my ways: like a nation which has done righteousness, and has not given up the rules of their God, they make requests to me for the right orders, it is their delight to come near to God.
Nefa Izaho mbola tadiaviny ihany isan’ andro isan’ andro, ary ny hahalala ny lalako no sitrany. Tahaka ny firenena efa nanao ny marina ka tsy nahafoy ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny no fanontaniany amiko ny fitsipiky ny fahamarinana, sy aniriany ny hihavian’ Andriamanitra.
3 They say, Why have we kept ourselves from food, and you do not see it? why have we kept ourselves from pleasure, and you take no note of it? If, in the days when you keep from food, you take the chance to do your business, and get in your debts;
Nahoana izahay no mifady, hoy izy, nefa tsy hitanao? Ary nahoana izahay no mampahory ny tenanay, nefa tsy ahoanao? Indro fa amin’ ny andro fifadianareo aza dia mbola ny tianareo ihany no ataonareo, ary ny mpiasa rehetra ao aminareo dia ampahorinareo.
4 If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.
Indro, ny hiady sy ny hifanditra no anton’ ny ifadianareo ary ny hamely amin’ ny totohondrin’ ny faharatsiana; Izao fifadianareo izao dia tsy andrenesana ny feonareo any amin’ ny avo.
5 Have I given orders for such a day as this? a day for keeping yourselves from pleasure? is it only a question of the bent head, of putting on haircloth, and being seated in the dust? is this what seems to you a holy day, well-pleasing to the Lord?
Moa fifadiana toy izany va no ankasitrahako? Dia andro hampahorian’ ny olona tena? Ny hampiondrika ny lohany tahaka ny zozoro sy ny hamelatra lamba fisaonana rarahan-davenona ho fandriany, moa izany va no ataonao hoe fifadiana sy andro ankasitrahan’ i Jehovah?
6 Is not this the holy day for which I have given orders: to let loose those who have wrongly been made prisoners, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the crushed go free, and every yoke be broken?
Tsy izao va no fifadiana izay ankasitrahako: Dia ny hamaha ny famatoran’ ny faharatsiana, sy hanaboraka ny fehin’ ny zioga, sy handefa ny ampahorina ho afaka, ary hanapatapaka ny zioga rehetra?
7 Is it not to give your bread to those in need, and to let the poor who have no resting-place come into your house? to put a robe on the unclothed one when you see him, and not to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing his flesh?
Moa tsy ny hizara ny mofonao ho an’ ny noana va, sy ny hampiantrano ny ory manjenjena, ary mba hanafianao izay hitanao mitanjaka, ka tsy hihirim-belona amin’ ny namanao ianao?
8 Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.
Fa raha izany, dia hiposaka tahaka ny fahazavan’ ny maraina ny fahazavanao, ary ho tonga faingana ny fahasitrananao; ny fahamarinanao ho loha-lalanao, ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ho vodi-lalanao
9 Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;
Ary amin’ izany dia hiantso ianao, ary Jehovah hamaly; Eny, hanandratra ny feonao ianao, ary Izy hanao hoe: Inty Aho. Raha esorinao tsy ho eo aminao ny zioga sy ny fanondroan’ ny fanondro sy ny fitenenan-dratsy,
10 And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:
Ary afoinao ho an’ ny noana izay hanina tianao, ka mahavoky ny ory ianao, dia hiposaka ao amin’ ny maizina ny fahazavanao, ary ny aizim-pitonao ho tahaka ny mitataovovonana;
11 And the Lord will be your guide at all times; in dry places he will give you water in full measure, and will make strong your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like an ever-flowing spring.
Ary Jehovah hitari-dalana anao mandrakariva sady hahavoky ny fanahinao ao amin’ ny tany karankaina aza sy hampahatanjaka ny taolanao; dia ho tahaka ny saha vonton-drano ianao sy ho tahaka ny loharanao miboiboika izay tsy mety ritra.
12 And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.
Ary izay taranakao no hanangana ny efa rava ela, ary ny naorina hatry ny fony fahagola no hamboarinao; ary ianao dia hatao hoe mpamboatra ny rava, mpamelon-dalana honenana amin’ ny tany.
13 If you keep the Sabbath with care, not doing your business on my holy day; and if the Sabbath seems to you a delight, and the new moon of the Lord a thing to be honoured; and if you give respect to him by not doing your business, or going after your pleasure, or saying unholy words;
Raha miaro ny tongotrao amin’ ny Sabata ianao ka tsy manao izay tianao amin’ ny androko masìna, ary manao ny Sabata hoe Fahafinaretana, ary ny nohamasinin’ i Jehovah hoe mendrika hohajaina, ka manome voninahitra azy ary tsy mandeha amin’ ny lalanao, na manao izay tianao, na miteniteny foana,
14 Then the Lord will be your delight; and I will put you on the high places of the earth; and I will give you the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has said it.
Dia hiravoravo amin’ i Jehovah ianao, ary hasandratro ao amin’ ny havoana amin’ ny tany ianao, sy hofahanako amin’ ny lovan’ i Jakoba rainao; Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.
