Isaiah 59
1 Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
Indro, ny tànan’ i Jehovah tsy fohy, fa mahavonjy, ary ny sofiny tsy lalodalovana, fa mahare;
2 But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
Fa ny helokareo no efitra mampisaraka anareo amin’ Andriamanitrareo, ary ny fahotanareo no mampiafina ny tavany aminareo, ka dia tsy mihaino Izy.
3 For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
Fa ny tananareo dia voaloto amin’ ny rà, ary ny rantsan-tananareo amin’ ny heloka; ny molotrareo miteny lainga, ny lelanareo mibedibedy faharatsiana.
4 No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
Tsy misy mitory olona araka ny fahamarinana, na mandahatra ny rariny araka izay mahatoky; matoky ny tsy izy sy miteny zava-poana izy; Torontoronina fampahoriana izy ka miteraka fandozana.
5 They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
Mikotrika ny atodin’ ny menarana izy ary manenona ny tranon-kala; Izay homana ny atodin’ ireny dia ho faty, fa raha poritra iny, dia menarana no miporitsaka avy ao.
6 Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
Ny tranon-kalany tsy azo atao fitafiana, ary ny asany tsy mahatafy azy; ny asany dia asa fampahoriana, ary asan-doza no eo an-tànany.
7 Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
Ny tongony miriotra ho amin’ ny ratsy sy mimaona handatsaka rà marina; ny fisainany dia fisainana fampahoriana, fandravana sy fandringanana no eo amin’ ny alehany.
8 They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
Ny lalan’ ny fiadanana tsy fantany; ary tsy misy rariny ao amin’ ny alehany; lalana miolakolaka ny lalany, ka na iza na iza mandia izany dia tsy mahita fiadanana.
9 For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
Ary noho izany dia lavitra antsika ny rariny, ary ny fahamarinana tsy mahatratra antsika; miandry ny mazava isika, nefa indro ny maizina, ary fahazavana, fa mbola ao amin’ ny aizim-pito ihany no andehanantsika.
10 We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
Mitsapatsapa manara-drindrina tahaka ny jamba isika eny, mitsapatsapa tahaka ny tsy mana-maso; tafintohina amin’ ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin’ ny maizimaizina isika, ary eo amin’ ny matanjaka dia tahaka ny maty isika.
11 We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
Isika rehetra mampierona tahaka ny bera ary mitoloko tokoa tahaka ny voromailala; miandry ny rariny isika, nefa tsy misy, ary ny famonjena, nefa lavitra antsika izany.
12 For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
Fa efa betsaka eo anatrehanao ny fiodinanay, ary ny fahotanay miampanga anay; eny, tsaroanay ny fahadisoanay, ary ny helokay dia fantatray,
13 We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
Dia ny miodina sy ny mandà an’ i Jehovah, ary ny miala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ Andriamanitray, ny miteny fampahoriana sy fikomiana, ary ny mamorona sy mamoaka teny lainga avy ao am-po.
14 And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
Nahemotra ny rariny, ary mijanon-davitra ny hitsiny; fa tafintohina eny an-kalalahana ny fahamarinana, ary ny hitsim-po tsy mahazo miditra.
15 Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
Eny, tsy eo ny fahamarinana; ary izay mifady ny ratsy dia hoatra ny manolo-tena hobabom’ ny sasany. Ary hitan’ i Jehovah ny tsi-fisian’ ny rariny, ka nataony fa ratsy izany;
16 And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
Eny, hitany fa tsy nisy olona, sady talanjona Izy, satria tsy nisy mpanalalana, ka dia ny sandriny ihany no nanao famonjena ho Azy, ary ny fahamarinany no nanohana Azy.
17 Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
Niakanjo fahamarinana tahaka ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra Izy, ary fiarovan-doha famonjena no teo amin’ ny lohany; ary niakanjo ny akanjo famaliana Izy eny, nandray ny fahasaro-piaro ho akanjo ivelany Izy.
18 He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
Araka ny asa natao no hamaliany, dia fahatezerana mirehitra ho an’ ny fahavalony, famaliana ho an’ ny rafiny; ary ny nosy dia hovaliany tokoa.
19 So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
Ary hatrany andrefana dia hatahotra ny anaran’ i Jehovah ny olona ary ny voninahiny hatramin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro; ary ny fihaviny dia ho toy ny rano maria, Ampandehanin’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah.
20 And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
Dia hisy Mpanavotra ho tonga any Ziona, Ho amin’ ny Jakoba izay miala amin’ ny fahadisoana, hoy Jehovah.
21 And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
Raha Izaho, dia izao no fanekeko aminy, hoy Jehovah: Ny Fanahiko Izay ao aminao sy ny teniko izay nataoko teo am-bavanao dia tsy hiala amin’ ny vavanao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranakao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranaky ny taranakao, hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah.
