Isaia 26
1 Amy andro zay le ho takasieñe e Iehodà ao ty sabo toy: Manan-drova maozatse tika; tinendre’e ho fandrombahañe o kijoly naho fikalañañeo.
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God has made salvation its walls and ramparts.
2 Sokafo o lalam-beio, himoaha’ i fifeheañe vantañe mpitàm-patokisañey.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
3 Hambena’o am-pierañerañan-to, ze amam-pitsakoreañe mifahatse ama’o, amy t’ie miato ama’o.
The mind that is stayed on you, you will keep him in perfect peace, for he trusts in you.
4 Iatò nainai’e t’Iehovà, amy te lamilamy tsy mb’ia ho modo t’Iehovà, Ià.
Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting rock.
5 Fa nakapotra’e o mpimoneñe an-kaboañeo, linama’e ambane’ i rova miligiligiy, nilamahe’e an-tane eo, eka, mb’an-deboke ao.
For he will bring down those who live proudly; the fortified city he will lay low, he will lay low to the ground; he will level it to the dust.
6 Ho lian-tomboke, ty fandia’ o mpisotrio, ty fidraidraita’ o boròkao.
It will be trampled down by the feet of the poor and the treading of the needy.
7 Lalañe mira ho amo vañoñeo izay ihe, ry Andindimoneñe, ro mañajary ty lala’ o vantañeo.
The path of the righteous is level, Righteous One; the path of the righteous you make straight.
8 Toe an-dala’ o fizaka’oo ry Iehovà, ty nitamà’ay Azo; i tahina’oy naho ty fitiahiañe Azo ro fisalalàn’arofo’ay.
Yes, in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, we wait for you; your name and your reputation are our desire.
9 Nirie’ ty fiaiko rehe te haleñe; eka, nitsoek’azo an-troko ato; amy te, ie ifetsaha’ o fizaka’oo ty tane toy, le hioke havantañañe ondatio.
I have longed for you in the night; yes, my spirit within me seeks you earnestly. For when your judgments come on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn about righteousness.
10 Ndra te isoheñe o lo tserekeo, tsy ho hai’e o havañonañeo; fa hikitro-karatiañe an-tanen-kavantañañe ao, vaho tsy ho oni’e ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
Let favor be shown to the wicked one, but he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he acts wickedly and does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
11 Mionjoñe añ’abo ey ty fità’o, ry Iehovà, f’ie tsy isa’ iareo; zoe’ iareo an-kasalarañe ty fahimbaña’o am’ ondatio; eka, ho forototoen-afo o rafelahi’oo.
Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, but they do not notice. But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame, because fire of your adversaries will devour them.
12 Ry Iehovà, toloro fierañerañan-jahay; fa toe Ihe ro nanao ze hene fitoloña’ay.
Yahweh, you will bring about peace for us; for indeed, you have also accomplished all our works for us.
13 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, fa nifehèn-drotompo ila’ te ama’o zahay, f’Ihe avao ty toñone’ay tahinañe.
Yahweh our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us; but we praise your name alone.
14 Tsy ho veloñe o mateo, tsy hitroatse o loloo; zay ty namara’o naho nandrotsaha’o iareo vaho fonga nimodoe’o ty fitiahiañe iareo.
They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not arise. Indeed, you came in judgment and destroyed them, and made every memory of them to perish.
15 Nonjoneñe amo kilakila ondatio rehe, ry Iehovà, eka nitoabotse amo kila taneo; iasiañe pak’ añ’olotse tsietoimone’ ty tane toy añe.
You have increased the nation, Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are honored; you have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Ry Iehovà, ie niampoheke te nipaia’ iareo Azo, ampianjiñeñe ty nampidoandoaña’ iareo halaly ama’o ty amy fandilova’o iareoy.
Yahweh, in trouble have they looked to you; they whispered prayers when your discipline was on them.
17 Manahake ty rakemba mitsongo, ie mitotoke ty hisamaha’e, ie manaintaiñe vaho mikoaike amo fitsongoa’eo; hoe zay zahay ry Iehovà tañ’atrefa’o eo.
As a pregnant woman nears the time for her to give birth, when she is in pain and cries out in her labor pains, so we have been before you, Lord.
18 Toe nivesatse zahay, nangotsokotsoke, fe hoe tioke avao ty naboloa’ay; tsy nañeneke famotsorañe amy taney; mbore tsy nahatoly ondaty ho mpimone’ ty tane toy.
We have been pregnant, we have been in labor, but it is as if we have only given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
19 Ho veloñe o nivetrake ama’oo, hitroatse i sandriko nihomakey, mivañona naho misaboa ry mpitoboke an-deboke ao, fa zono maraindray o zono’oo, vaho haboloa’ i taney o niloloo.
Your dead will live; their dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing for joy, you who live in the dust; for your dew is the dew of light, and the earth will bring forth its dead.
20 Antao ry ondatiko, mihovà añ’anjomba’o ao, arindrino o lalañe amboho’oo mietaha hey ampara’ te heneke i fifomboañey.
Go, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until the indignation has passed by.
21 Heheke! miakatse i toe’ey t’Iehovà handilo o mpimoneñ’ an-tane atoio ty amo hakeo’eo; haboa’ i taney ty lio niorike ama’e, vaho tsy ho lembefa’e ka o vinono’eo.
For, look, Yahweh is about to come out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will uncover her bloodshed, and will no longer conceal her slain.
