< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
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 the LORD’s favour 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 provide for 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 the LORD, 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 will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for 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 will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
Hiavotse hamahañe o lia-rai’oo o ambahinio, le ho mpiava’o naho mpañeteke o vahe’oo ty renetane.
6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations. 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 will have double. Instead of dishonour, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will 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, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and iniquity. I will give them their reward 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 will be known amongst the nations, and their offspring amongst the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which the LORD 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 the LORD! My soul will 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 produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up 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.
