< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of Jehovah is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
Amako t’i Arofo’ i Talè, Iehovà; ie noriza’ Iehovà hinday talily soa amo mpirèkeo; nirahe’e hamolonkoñe ty jagobo, hitaroñe fidadàñe amo am-balabeio, naho fañahañe amo mirohio;
2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
hitsey ty taom-pañisoha’ Iehovà naho ty androm-pañondrohan’Añahare, hañohòa’e o mihontokeo,
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
hamahana’e ze mirovetse e Tsione ao, hampisabakae’e voñe halimbe ty lavenoke, tavon-kaehake hasolo ty fandalàñe, saravim-bolonahetse halimbe ty hamonjèrañe. Hatao kilen-kavañonañe, ty fambolèa’ Iehovà hisengea’iareo ty volonahe’e.
4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Le hamboare’ iareo o tanàn-taoloo, hatroa’ iareo o nangoakoake haehaeo, vaho ho vaoe’ iareo o rova niantoeñeo, o nibangý fa tariratse maro zay.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Hiavotse hamahañe o lia-rai’oo o ambahinio, le ho mpiava’o naho mpañeteke o vahe’oo ty renetane.
6 But you shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
Fe hatao mpisoro’ Iehovà nahareo, hatao ondatio ty hoe: Mpiatrak’ an’Andrianañahare’ay; ho kamae’ areo ty vara’ o fifeheañeo, vaho ho sengè’ areo ty volonahe’ iareo.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
Kanao ni-roe ty hasalara’ areo, naho nirebeha’ iareo ty hoe: Anjara’ iareo ty fivoteboteñañe, le hanañe roe an-tane’ iareo ao, vaho ho nainai’e am’ iareo ao ty hafaleañe.
8 "For I, Jehovah, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Fa mpitea ty hatò zaho Iehovà; hejeko ty kametse naho ty lilatse; hondrohako ami’ty hahiti’e iereo, naho hanoako fañina tsy modo.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Jehovah has blessed."
Ho fohiñe amo kilakila ondatio o tarira’ iareoo, naho am’ondatio o taminga’ iareoo; hapota’ ze mahaoniñe t’ie ty tiry nitahie’ Iehovà.
10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Handia taroba am’ Iehovà raho, hirebek’ aman’ Añahareko ty troko; amy te siniki’e sikim-pandrombahañe, Nasaro’e sarimbom-pandrebahañe, le sinabaka’e hoe fañombeam-pañenga i sabaka’ey, vaho nihaminañe hoe enga-vao amo bange’eo.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Toe hambañe ami’ty fampitiria’ i taney o hatae’eo naho ty fampiporotsaha’ ty goloboñe o nitongiseñe ama’eo; ty hampipitsiha’ i Talè, Iehovà fandrebahañe naho engeñe añatrefa’ ze kilakila’ondaty.
