Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders— plans formed long ago— in perfect faithfulness.
Jehovah ô, Andriamanitro Hianao; Hanandratra Anao sy hidera ny anaranao aho, fa efa nanao zava-mahagaga Hianao, dia zavatra efa voakasa hatramin’ ny ela sady mahatoky no marina indrindra.
2 Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
Fa efa nataonao tonga korontam-bato ny tanàna; Ny tanàna mimanda dia rava tokoa; Ny lapan’ ny fahavalo dia nataonao tsy vanon-ko tanàna; Tsy hatsangana intsony mandrakizay iny;
3 Therefore, a strong people will honor You. The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
Ka dia hankalaza Anao ny firenena masiaka, Hatahotra Anao ny tanànan’ ny firenena lozabe.
4 For You have been a refuge for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like rain against a wall,
Fa fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny reraka Hianao, eny, fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny malahelo amin’ ny fahoriany, fierena amin’ ny ranonoram-baratra, fialokalofana amin’ ny hainandro, fa ny rivotry ny mahery dia tahaka ny ranonorana mifafy mamely ny ampiantany.
5 like heat in a dry land. You subdue the uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the ruthless is silenced.
Tahaka ny fandresinao ny hainandro izay mamely ny tany karankaina no andresenao ny fitabataban’ ny firenena hafa; Eny, tahaka ny amin’ ny hainandro resin’ ny aloky ny rahona matevina no andresena ny fanakoran’ ny olon-dozabe.
6 On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.
Ary Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia hanao fanasana ho an’ ny firenena rehetra eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, dia fanasana amin’ ny zavatra matavy, fanasana amin’ ny divay efa niotrika ela, zavatra matavy be tsoka, divay efa niotrika ela sady voadio tsara.
7 On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
Ary hofoanany eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, ny sarona izay manarona ny olona rehetra sy ny rakotra izay arakotra ny firenena rehetra.
8 He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth.
Hofoanany tsy hisy mandrakizay ny fahafatesana; Ary Jehovah Tompo hamafa ny ranomaso amin’ ny tava rehetra sady hanafa-tondromaso ny olony eny amin’ ny tany rehetra, fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
9 And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
Ary holazaina amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Indro Andriamanitsika, izay nandrasantsika hamonjy antsika; Indro Jehovah, Izay nandrasan-tsika, koa dia aoka ho faly sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny isika.
10 For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile.
Fa hipetraka amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity ny tànan’ i Jehovah, ary Moaba hohosihosena ao amin’ izay itoerany, dia tahaka ny fanosihosena ny mololo miavosa amin’ ny rano ao am-pahitra;
11 He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.
Ary ireo dia hamelatra ny tanany eo ampovoan’ izany, tahaka ny famelatry ny mpilomano ny tanany raha milomano; Fa Jehovah kosa hampietry ny fiavonavonany, na dia kanto aza ny fahamailamailaky ny tànany.
12 The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.
Ary ny mandanao mafy sy avo dia harodany ka haetriny sy hofongorany hatramin’ ny tany, dia hatramin’ ny vovoka.
