Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.
Amy andro zay le ho takasieñe e Iehodà ao ty sabo toy: Manan-drova maozatse tika; tinendre’e ho fandrombahañe o kijoly naho fikalañañeo.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
Sokafo o lalam-beio, himoaha’ i fifeheañe vantañe mpitàm-patokisañey.
3 You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.
Hambena’o am-pierañerañan-to, ze amam-pitsakoreañe mifahatse ama’o, amy t’ie miato ama’o.
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
Iatò nainai’e t’Iehovà, amy te lamilamy tsy mb’ia ho modo t’Iehovà, Ià.
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.
Fa nakapotra’e o mpimoneñe an-kaboañeo, linama’e ambane’ i rova miligiligiy, nilamahe’e an-tane eo, eka, mb’an-deboke ao.
6 The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."
Ho lian-tomboke, ty fandia’ o mpisotrio, ty fidraidraita’ o boròkao.
7 The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.
Lalañe mira ho amo vañoñeo izay ihe, ry Andindimoneñe, ro mañajary ty lala’ o vantañeo.
8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
Toe an-dala’ o fizaka’oo ry Iehovà, ty nitamà’ay Azo; i tahina’oy naho ty fitiahiañe Azo ro fisalalàn’arofo’ay.
9 With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Nirie’ ty fiaiko rehe te haleñe; eka, nitsoek’azo an-troko ato; amy te, ie ifetsaha’ o fizaka’oo ty tane toy, le hioke havantañañe ondatio.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.
Ndra te isoheñe o lo tserekeo, tsy ho hai’e o havañonañeo; fa hikitro-karatiañe an-tanen-kavantañañe ao, vaho tsy ho oni’e ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
Mionjoñe añ’abo ey ty fità’o, ry Iehovà, f’ie tsy isa’ iareo; zoe’ iareo an-kasalarañe ty fahimbaña’o am’ ondatio; eka, ho forototoen-afo o rafelahi’oo.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
Ry Iehovà, toloro fierañerañan-jahay; fa toe Ihe ro nanao ze hene fitoloña’ay.
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, fa nifehèn-drotompo ila’ te ama’o zahay, f’Ihe avao ty toñone’ay tahinañe.
14 The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
Tsy ho veloñe o mateo, tsy hitroatse o loloo; zay ty namara’o naho nandrotsaha’o iareo vaho fonga nimodoe’o ty fitiahiañe iareo.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
Nonjoneñe amo kilakila ondatio rehe, ry Iehovà, eka nitoabotse amo kila taneo; iasiañe pak’ añ’olotse tsietoimone’ ty tane toy añe.
16 LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
Ry Iehovà, ie niampoheke te nipaia’ iareo Azo, ampianjiñeñe ty nampidoandoaña’ iareo halaly ama’o ty amy fandilova’o iareoy.
17 Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD.
Manahake ty rakemba mitsongo, ie mitotoke ty hisamaha’e, ie manaintaiñe vaho mikoaike amo fitsongoa’eo; hoe zay zahay ry Iehovà tañ’atrefa’o eo.
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Toe nivesatse zahay, nangotsokotsoke, fe hoe tioke avao ty naboloa’ay; tsy nañeneke famotsorañe amy taney; mbore tsy nahatoly ondaty ho mpimone’ ty tane toy.
19 Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.
Ho veloñe o nivetrake ama’oo, hitroatse i sandriko nihomakey, mivañona naho misaboa ry mpitoboke an-deboke ao, fa zono maraindray o zono’oo, vaho haboloa’ i taney o niloloo.
20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
Antao ry ondatiko, mihovà añ’anjomba’o ao, arindrino o lalañe amboho’oo mietaha hey ampara’ te heneke i fifomboañey.
21 For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
Heheke! miakatse i toe’ey t’Iehovà handilo o mpimoneñ’ an-tane atoio ty amo hakeo’eo; haboa’ i taney ty lio niorike ama’e, vaho tsy ho lembefa’e ka o vinono’eo.
