< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
Amako t’i Arofo’ i Talè, Iehovà; ie noriza’ Iehovà hinday talily soa amo mpirèkeo; nirahe’e hamolonkoñe ty jagobo, hitaroñe fidadàñe amo am-balabeio, naho fañahañe amo mirohio;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
hitsey ty taom-pañisoha’ Iehovà naho ty androm-pañondrohan’Añahare, hañohòa’e o mihontokeo,
3 to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
hamahana’e ze mirovetse e Tsione ao, hampisabakae’e voñe halimbe ty lavenoke, tavon-kaehake hasolo ty fandalàñe, saravim-bolonahetse halimbe ty hamonjèrañe. Hatao kilen-kavañonañe, ty fambolèa’ Iehovà hisengea’iareo ty volonahe’e.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
Le hamboare’ iareo o tanàn-taoloo, hatroa’ iareo o nangoakoake haehaeo, vaho ho vaoe’ iareo o rova niantoeñeo, o nibangý fa tariratse maro izay.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
Hiavotse hamahañe o lia-rai’oo o ambahinio, le ho mpiava’o naho mpañeteke o vahe’oo ty renetane.
6 But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
Fe hatao mpisoro’ Iehovà nahareo, hatao ondatio ty hoe: Mpiatrak’ an’Andrianañahare’ay; ho kamae’ areo ty vara’ o fifeheañeo, vaho ho sengè’ areo ty volonahe’ iareo.
7 Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
Kanao ni-roe ty hasalara’ areo, naho nirebeha’ iareo ty hoe: Anjara’ iareo ty fivoteboteñañe, le hanañe roe an-tane’ iareo ao, vaho ho nainai’e am’ iareo ao ty hafaleañe.
8 For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Fa mpitea ty hatò izaho Iehovà; hejeko ty kametse naho ty lilatse; hondrohako ami’ty hahiti’e iereo, naho hanoako fañina tsy modo.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
Ho fohiñe amo kilakila ondatio o tarira’ iareoo, naho am’ondatio o taminga’ iareoo; hapota’ ze mahaoniñe t’ie ty tiry nitahie’ Iehovà.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Handia taroba am’ Iehovà iraho, hirebek’ aman’ Añahareko ty troko; amy te siniki’e sikim-pandrombahañe, Nasaro’e sarimbom-pandrebahañe, le sinabaka’e hoe fañombeam-pañenga i sabaka’ey, vaho nihaminañe hoe enga-vao amo bange’eo.
11 For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Toe hambañe ami’ty fampitiria’ i taney o hatae’eo naho ty fampiporotsaha’ ty goloboñe o nitongiseñe ama’eo; ty hampipitsiha’ i Talè, Iehovà fandrebahañe naho engeñe añatrefa’ ze kilakila’ondaty.
