Isaia 50
1 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.
Thus says the LORD, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
2 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.
Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 Tafiako fahamaintisana ny lanitra, ary lamba fisaonana no ataoko fisaronany.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
4 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
The LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 Jehovah Tompo nanokatra ny sofiko, ary Izaho tsy naditra na nihemotra.
The LORD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
6 Ny lamosiko natolotro ho amin’ ny mpikapoka, ary ny takolako ho amin’ izay manongobaoka; ny tavako tsy nafeniko tamin’ ny henatra sy ny rora.
I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
7 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.
For the LORD will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
8 Efa akaiky Izay manamarina Ahy: Iza no hiady amiko? Andeha hiara-mitsangana isika; iza no manana ady amiko? Aoka izy ho avy amiko.
He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 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.
Look, the LORD will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
10 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.
Who is among you who fears the LORD, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely on his God.
11 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.
Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
