Isaiah 43

1 Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!

Fa ankehitriny, ry Jakoba ô, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nahary anao sady namorona anao, ry Isiraely ô: Aza matahotra ianao, fa efa nanavotra anao Aho; Efa niantso ny anaranao Aho, Ahy ianao.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Raha mita ny rano ianao, dia homba anao Aho; Ary raha mita ny ony ianao, dia tsy hanafotra anao izy; Raha mandeha mamaky ny afo ianao, dia tsy ho may, Ary tsy hirehitra aminao ny lelafo;

3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

Fa Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrao, Dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, Mpamonjy anao; Omeko ho avotrao Egypta, ary Etiopia sy Seba ho solonao.

4 Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

Satria malala eo imasoko ianao, eny, be voninahitra ianao sady tiako, dia olona no omeko ho solonao, ary firenena ho solon’ ny ainao.

5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.

Aza mahatahotra, fa momba anao Aho; Hitondra ny taranakao avy any atsinanana Aho, ary avy any andrefana no hanangonako anao;

6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—

Ny avaratra hilazako hoe: Avoahy, ary ny atsimo hoe: Aza hazonina; Alao ny zanako-lahy avy lavitra sy ny zanako-vavy avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany,

7 everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”

Dia izay rehetra antsoina amin’ ny anarako sady nohariko ho voninahitro, dia izay noforoniko sy nataoko.

8 Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.

Ento mivoaka ny olona jamba mana-maso sy ny marenina manan-tsofina.

9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”

Aoka hiangona ny firenena rehetra, Ary aoka hivory ny olombelona; Iza aminareo no mahalaza izany? Aoka hambarany amintsika ny fahiny taloha; Aoka ho entiny ny vavolombelony hahamarina azy; Ary aoka hihaino ireo ka hiaiky hoe: Marina izany.

10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.

Hianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, sady mpanompoko izay efa nofidiko, Mba hahafantaranareo sy hinoanareo Ahy ka ho azonareo tsara fa Izaho no Izy; Talohako dia tsy nisy andriamanitra voaforona, sady tsy hisy handimby Ahy.

11 I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.

Izaho dia Izaho ihany no Jehovah Ary tsy misy Mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.

12 I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.

Izaho efa nilaza sy namonjy ary nanambara, ary tsy nisy hafa tao aminareo; Dia ianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, ary Izaho no Andriamanitra.

13 Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Eny, hatramin’ izary andro izany Izaho no Izy, Ary tsy misy maharombaka amin’ ny tanako; Miasa Aho, ka iza moa no mahasakana izany?

14 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Mpanavotra anareo, dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Noho ny aminareo no nanirahako tany Babylona, ary hampidiniko izy rehetra mbamin’ ny Kaldeana ho mpandositra ho any amin’ ny sambo izay efa nifaliany.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”

Izaho no Jehovah, Iray Masinareo, Mpamorona ny Isiraely sady Mpanjakanareo.

16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,

Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay manao lalana eny amin’ ny ranomasina sy lalan-kaleha eny amin’ ny rano manonja,

17 who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

Izay mamoaka ny kalesy sy ny soavaly, ny miaramila sy ny lehilahy miara-mandry avokoa izy ka tsy hiarina intsony, mitsilopilopy izy, ka dia maty toy ny jiro:

18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

Aza mahatsiaro ny lasa, na misaina ny taloha.

19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.

Indro, Izaho efa hanao zava-baovao, koa ankehitriny dia efa miposaka izany tsy hahalala izany va ianareo? eny, any an-efitra no hanaovako lalana ary any amin’ ny tany sao no hasiako ony;

20 The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.

Dia hanome voninahitra Ahy ny bibi-dia sy ny amboadia ary ny ostritsa, satria manisy rano any an-efitra sy ony any amin’ ny tany lao Aho, Hampisotroana ny oloko, dia ilay voafidiko.

21 The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.

Izao olona noforoniko ho Ahy izao no hanambara ny fiderana Ahy.

22 But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.

Nefa Izaho tsy mba nantsoinao, ry Jakoba; Fa sasatra amiko ianao, ry Isiraely.

23 You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

Tsy nitondranao ny zanak’ ondry fanatitra doranao Aho, na nomenao voninahitra tamin’ ny fanatitrao. Tsy nampahavesatra anao tamin’ ny fanatitra Aho, na nanasatra anao tamin’ ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona.

24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

Tsy nandoa vola namidy veromanitra ho Ahy ianao, na nahavoky Ahy tamin’ ny saboran’ ny fanatitrao; Fa nampahavesatra Ahy tamin’ ny fahotanao kosa ianao sy nanasatra Ahy tamin’ ny helokao.

25 I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

Izaho dia Izaho no mamono ny fahadisoanao noho ny amin’ ny tenako, ary tsy hotsarovako ny fahotanao.

26 Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

Ampahatsiarovy Aho, ka avia isika hifandahatra; Alaharo ary ny teninao, mba hahitana izay mahamarina anao.

27 Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.

Ny razambenao voalohany indrindra dia efa nanota, ary ireny mpanalalana aminao efa niodina tamiko,

28 So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”

Koa izany no nanaovako ny mpanapaka masìna ho tsy masìna, sy nanolorako an’ i Jakoba ho fandringana ary Isiraely ho latsa.
