Isaiah 50
1 This is what Yahweh says, “Where is the certificate of divorce with which I divorced your mother? To which of my creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold because of your sins, and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent away.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aiza izay taratasy fisaoram-bady nisaorako an-dreninareo? Ary iza amin’ izay manan-trosa amiko no nivarotako anareo? Tsia, fa noho ny helokareo ihany no nivarotana anareo, ary noho ny fahadisoanareo ihany no nisaorana an-dreninareo.
2 Why did I come but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered? Was my hand too short to ransom you? Was there no power in me to rescue you? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish die for lack of water and rot.
Nahoana no tsy nisy olona, fony tonga Aho, ary tsy nisy namaly, fony niantso Aho? Moa fohy tokoa va ny tanako ka tsy mahavonjy, ary moa tsy manan-kery ho enti-manafaka va Aho? Indro, amin’ ny teny mafy ataoko no andritako ny ranomasina sy anaovako ny ony ho efitra; ary maimbo ny hazandranony noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny rano sady matin-ketaheta.
3 I clothe the sky with darkness; I cover it with sackcloth.”
Tafiako fahamaintisana ny lanitra, ary lamba fisaonana no ataoko fisaronany.
4 The Lord Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught, so that I speak a sustaining word to the weary one; he wakes me morning by morning; he awakens my ear to hear like those who are taught.
Jehovah Tompo nanome Ahy ny lelan’ ny efa mahay, mba hahaizako manao teny hampahatanjaka izay reraka; ampandrenesiny isa-maraina isa-maraina, eny, ampandrenesiny ny sofiko hihaino tahaka ny efa mahay
5 The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away backward.
Jehovah Tompo nanokatra ny sofiko, ary Izaho tsy naditra na nihemotra.
6 I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; I did not hide my face from acts of shame and spitting.
Ny lamosiko natolotro ho amin’ ny mpikapoka, ary ny takolako ho amin’ izay manongobaoka; ny tavako tsy nafeniko tamin’ ny henatra sy ny rora.
7 For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced; so I have made my face like flint, for I know that I will not be put to shame.
Fa Jehovah Tompo no hamonjy Ahy, ka dia tsy resin-kenatra Aho; Ary efa nohamafisiko ho tahaka ny afovato ny tavako, ka fantatro fa tsy ho menatra Aho.
8 He who will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another. Who is my accuser? Let him come near to me.
Efa akaiky Izay manamarina Ahy: Iza no hiady amiko? Andeha hiara-mitsangana isika; iza no manana ady amiko? Aoka izy ho avy amiko.
9 See, the Lord Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.
Indro, Jehovah Tompo no hamonjy ahy; koa iza no hanameloka ahy? Indro, izy rehetra ho tonga tahaka ny lamba mangarahara, ho lanin’ ny kalalao izy.
10 Who among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in deep darkness without light? He should trust in the name of Yahweh and lean on his God.
Iza aminareo no matahotra an’ i Jehovah ka mihaino ny feon’ ny Mpanompony? Na iza na iza mandeha amin’ ny maizina ka tsy manana fahazavana, aoka izy hatoky ny anaran’ i Jehovah sy hiankina amin’ Andriamaniny.
11 Look, all you who light fires, who equip yourselves with torches: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have ignited. This is what you have received from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
He! ianareo rehetra izay mampirehitra afo sy mifehy kilalaon’ afo manodidina anareo, mandehana amin’ ny lelafonareo sy amin’ ny zana-tsipìka misy afo, izay narehitrareo. Izao no hanjo anareo avy amin’ ny tanako: Handry amin’ ny fahoriana ianareo.
