Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
Indro, ny tànan’ i Jehovah tsy fohy, fa mahavonjy, ary ny sofiny tsy lalodalovana, fa mahare;
2 But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
Fa ny helokareo no efitra mampisaraka anareo amin’ Andriamanitrareo, ary ny fahotanareo no mampiafina ny tavany aminareo, ka dia tsy mihaino Izy.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.
Fa ny tananareo dia voaloto amin’ ny rà, ary ny rantsan-tananareo amin’ ny heloka; ny molotrareo miteny lainga, ny lelanareo mibedibedy faharatsiana.
4 No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
Tsy misy mitory olona araka ny fahamarinana, na mandahatra ny rariny araka izay mahatoky; matoky ny tsy izy sy miteny zava-poana izy; Torontoronina fampahoriana izy ka miteraka fandozana.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
Mikotrika ny atodin’ ny menarana izy ary manenona ny tranon-kala; Izay homana ny atodin’ ireny dia ho faty, fa raha poritra iny, dia menarana no miporitsaka avy ao.
6 Their webs won’t become garments. They won’t cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands.
Ny tranon-kalany tsy azo atao fitafiana, ary ny asany tsy mahatafy azy; ny asany dia asa fampahoriana, ary asan-doza no eo an-tànany.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
Ny tongony miriotra ho amin’ ny ratsy sy mimaona handatsaka rà marina; ny fisainany dia fisainana fampahoriana, fandravana sy fandringanana no eo amin’ ny alehany.
8 They don’t know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
Ny lalan’ ny fiadanana tsy fantany; ary tsy misy rariny ao amin’ ny alehany; lalana miolakolaka ny lalany, ka na iza na iza mandia izany dia tsy mahita fiadanana.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Ary noho izany dia lavitra antsika ny rariny, ary ny fahamarinana tsy mahatratra antsika; miandry ny mazava isika, nefa indro ny maizina, ary fahazavana, fa mbola ao amin’ ny aizim-pito ihany no andehanantsika.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind. Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were twilight. Amongst those who are strong, we are like dead men.
Mitsapatsapa manara-drindrina tahaka ny jamba isika eny, mitsapatsapa tahaka ny tsy mana-maso; tafintohina amin’ ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin’ ny maizimaizina isika, ary eo amin’ ny matanjaka dia tahaka ny maty isika.
11 We all roar like bears and moan sadly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isika rehetra mampierona tahaka ny bera ary mitoloko tokoa tahaka ny voromailala; miandry ny rariny isika, nefa tsy misy, ary ny famonjena, nefa lavitra antsika izany.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
Fa efa betsaka eo anatrehanao ny fiodinanay, ary ny fahotanay miampanga anay; eny, tsaroanay ny fahadisoanay, ary ny helokay dia fantatray,
13 transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Dia ny miodina sy ny mandà an’ i Jehovah, ary ny miala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ Andriamanitray, ny miteny fampahoriana sy fikomiana, ary ny mamorona sy mamoaka teny lainga avy ao am-po.
14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
Nahemotra ny rariny, ary mijanon-davitra ny hitsiny; fa tafintohina eny an-kalalahana ny fahamarinana, ary ny hitsim-po tsy mahazo miditra.
15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
Eny, tsy eo ny fahamarinana; ary izay mifady ny ratsy dia hoatra ny manolo-tena hobabom’ ny sasany. Ary hitan’ i Jehovah ny tsi-fisian’ ny rariny, ka nataony fa ratsy izany;
16 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.
Eny, hitany fa tsy nisy olona, sady talanjona Izy, satria tsy nisy mpanalalana, ka dia ny sandriny ihany no nanao famonjena ho Azy, ary ny fahamarinany no nanohana Azy.
17 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
Niakanjo fahamarinana tahaka ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra Izy, ary fiarovan-doha famonjena no teo amin’ ny lohany; ary niakanjo ny akanjo famaliana Izy eny, nandray ny fahasaro-piaro ho akanjo ivelany Izy.
18 According to their deeds, he will repay as appropriate: wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies. He will repay the islands their due.
Araka ny asa natao no hamaliany, dia fahatezerana mirehitra ho an’ ny fahavalony, famaliana ho an’ ny rafiny; ary ny nosy dia hovaliany tokoa.
19 So they will fear the LORD’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the LORD’s breath drives.
Ary hatrany andrefana dia hatahotra ny anaran’ i Jehovah ny olona ary ny voninahiny hatramin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro; ary ny fihaviny dia ho toy ny rano maria, Ampandehanin’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah.
20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says the LORD.
Dia hisy Mpanavotra ho tonga any Ziona, Ho amin’ ny Jakoba izay miala amin’ ny fahadisoana, hoy Jehovah.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now on and forever.”
Raha Izaho, dia izao no fanekeko aminy, hoy Jehovah: Ny Fanahiko Izay ao aminao sy ny teniko izay nataoko teo am-bavanao dia tsy hiala amin’ ny vavanao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranakao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranaky ny taranakao, hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah.
