Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
Mirebeha ry betsiterake, ihe tsy nanaranake, mipoñafa sabo, mipazapazaha ry tsy nitsongo! Fa maro ty ana’ i vahiniy, te amo ana’ i amam-baliio, hoe t’Iehovà.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
Itàro ty toen-kiboho’o, tibaho o lamba fañefen’ akiba’oo, naho ko tomoreñe; halavao o tali’oo, vaho haozaro o tsato’oo.
3 For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
Amy t’ie hañivake mb’ankavana, naho mb’ankavia; naho handova o kilakila’ ndatio o tarira’oo, vaho hampimoneñañe o rova mangoakoakeo.
4 “Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
Ko hemban-drehe fa tsy ho salatse, ko meñatse, fa tsy hinjèñe, toe ho haliño’o ty hameñaran-katora’o, vaho tsy ho tiahi’o ka ty fañinjeañe i haramavoi’oy.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
Fa tañanjomba’o i Mpamboatse azoy, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e; t’i Masi’ Israele ro Mpijeba’o, t’i Andrianañahare’ ty tane toy ro fikanjiañe Aze.
6 For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
Fa nitok’azo t’Iehovà hoe valy naforintseñe naho mihontoke, aa kanao valin-katora’e, hapoke hao? hoe t’i Andrianañahare.
7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
Andro bory ty namorintseñako azo; fe am-piferenaiñañe jabajaba ty hanontonako azo.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
Fifomboañe fohe ty nañetahako ama’o ty tareheko; fe am-pikokoañe migahiñe nainai’e ty hiferenaiñako, hoe t’Iehovà Mpijeba’o.
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
Toe rano’ i Noake amako itoy; amy te hambañe ami’ty nandiliako te tsy hañàmpo ty tane toy ka i rano’ i Noakey, le nititiheko ka t’ie tsy hibosehako vaho tsy ho trevoheko.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
Fa hafahañe o vohitseo, naho haveve o haboañeo; fe tsy hieng’azo ty fiferenaiñako, vaho tsy hovaeñe i fañinam-pilongoakoy, hoe t’Iehovà mpiferenaiñ’azo.
11 “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colours, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
O ry malorè avalitaboa’ i tio-beiy, ie tsy amam-pañohò, heheke te harafeko am-bolo soa o vato’oo, naho ho tsenèko an-tsafira o faha’oo.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
Hanoeko roy o tilik’abo’oo, le am-bato mañabasà o lalam-bei’oo, vaho am-batosoa o olotsolotseo.
13 All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
Hene hanare’ Iehovà o ana’oo; vaho hampitomboeñe ty fierañeraña’ o keleia’oo.
14 You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Horizañe an-kavantañan-drehe; hitots’azo ty famorekekeañe, tsy hihembaña’o, tsy hitotok’ azo ka o fandrotsahañeo.
15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
Mete hifanontone iereo, fa tsy ty amako; hikorovoke añatrefa’o eo ze mikitroke azo.
16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
Zaho ‘nio ty nanao i mpanefe mitiotioke vaen’afoy, Ie añakara’e fialiañe hitoloña’e; nanoeko ka ty mpijoy hijoia’e.
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
Tsy hanjofake ze fialiañe namboareñe haname azo; naho fonga hafà’o ze fameleke hitroatse hiatreatre azo an-jaka. zay ty lova’ o mpitoro’ Iehovào, vaho tamako ty havantaña’ iareo hoe t’Iehovà.
