Isaiah 26
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hohiraina eto amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda izao fihirana izao: Manana tanàna mafy isika; Famonjena no hotendren’ i Jehovah ho manda sy fiarovana.
2 Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— one that remains faithful.
Vohay ny vavahady, mba hidiran’ ny firenena marina, izay mitana ny fahamarinana.
3 You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.
Ny saina tsy miovaova dia harovanao ao amin’ ny fiadanana tanteraka, satria matoky Anao izy.
4 Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
Matokia an’ i Jehovah mandrakizay, fa Jehovah Tompo no Vatolampy mandrakizay.
5 For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
Fa naetriny ny mponina avo toerana; Ny tanàna avo dia arodany, eny, arodany ho amin’ ny tany ka: azerany ho amin’ ny vovoka.
6 Feet trample it down— the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor.
Hitsahin’ ny tongotra izy, dia ny tongotry ny ory sy ny faladian’ ny mahantra.
7 The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.
Voaravona ny lalan’ ny marina: Eny, aravonao ho marina indrindra ny alehan’ ny marina.
8 Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.
Koa amin’ ny lalan’ ny fitsaranao, Jehovah ô, no iandrasanay Anao, ny anaranao sy ny fahatsiarovana Anao no irin’ ny fanahinay.
9 My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
Amin’ ny fanahiko no aniriako Anao nony alina; Eny, ny saiko ato anatiko no itadiavako Anao fatratra; Fa raha mamely ny tany ny fitsaranao, dia mianatra fahamarinana ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
Na dia asiana soa aza ny ratsy fanahy, tsy mety mianatra fahamarinana izy; Eny, na dia ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahamarinana aza izy, mbola manao meloka ihany ka tsy mety mijery ny fahalehibiazan’ i Jehovah.
11 O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!
Jehovah ô, avo ny tananao, nefa tsy jeren’ ireo; Tsy maintsy hojereny ihany anefa ny fahasaro-piaronao amin’ ny olonao, ka ho menatra izy; Eny, afo no handevona ny fahavalonao.
12 O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
Jehovah ô, manorina fiadanana ho anay Hianao: Fa ny asanay rehetra dia tanterahinao ho anay.
13 O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we confess.
Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, tsy Hianao ihany no efa nampanompo anay, fa tompo hafa koa; Nefa Hianao irery ihany no ahazoanay mankalaza ny anaranao.
14 The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.
Ny maty tsy ho velona intsony, ny matoatoa tsy mba hitsangana; Fa novalianao izy ka naringanao, sady nolevoninao avokoa ny fahatsiarovana azy.
15 You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
Nampitombo ny firenena Hianao, Jehovah ô, Eny, nampitombo ny firenena Hianao ka nahazo voninahitra ho Anao; Nitarinao halalaka avokoa ny faritry ny tany.
16 O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
Jehovah ô, nony azom-pahoriana izy, dia nitady Anao; Nony niharan’ ny famaizanao izy, dia nanao vavaka anakampo.
17 As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.
Tahaka izay bevohoka efa madiva hiteraka ka miolanolana sy mitaraina noho ny faharariany, dia tahaka izany izahay teo imasonao, Jehovah ô,
18 We were with child; we writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.
Efa bevohoka izahay, efa nihetsi-jaza izahay, Efa tahaka ny nitera-drivotra izahay; Tsy nahavita famonjena ho an’ ny tany izahay, ka tsy niteraka ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
19 Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.
Ho velona indray ny olonao izay efa maty, ny fatin’ ny oloko hitsangana; Koa mifohaza sy mihobia, ianareo izay mandry ao amin’ ny vovoka; Fa ny andonao dia tahaka ny andon’ ny fahazavana, ary ny tany hiteraka ny maty.
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
Mandehana, ry oloko, midìra ao amin’ ny efi-tranonao, ary mirindrina varavarana ianao, ka miere kely indray mipi-maso monja Mandra-pahalasan’ ny fahatezerana.
21 For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.
Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy amin’ ny fitoerany hamaly ny mponina amin’ ny tany noho ny helony; Ary ny tany hampiseho ny rà izay nofohiny ka tsy hanafina intsony izay novonoina teo aminy.
