Isaiah 46
1 Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
Mangozohozo Bela, efa miraika Nebo, ny sampiny dia nampitondraina ny biby folahina sy ny biby fiompy; Ny zavatra fitondranareo dia asampy ka tonga enta-mavesatra entin’ ireo biby reraka.
2 They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
Miraika sy mangozohozo avokoa izy, ka tsy mahavonjy ny entana akory; Fa na dia ny tenany aza dia lasan-ko babo koa.
3 Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:
Mihainoa Ahy, ry taranak’ i Jakoba sy izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, izay nobabena hatrany an-kibo sy nentina hatrany am-bohoka:
4 Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
Na dia mandra-pahantitrareo aza, dia tsy miova Aho, ary mandra-pahafotsy volonareo, dia Izaho ihany no hisahirana mitondra anareo. Izaho no nanao, ka Izaho ihany no hitrotro, eny, izaho no hitondra sy hanafaka.
5 Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
Hampitovinareo amin’ iza moa Aho, sy amin’ iza no hanoharanareo Ahy ary iza no hataonareo ho tahaka Ahy mba hitahany amiko?
6 As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.
Izay mandraraka volamena avy ao an-kitapo sy mandania volafotsy amin’ ny mizana dia manakarama mpanefy volamena mba hanao izany ho andriamanitra, hiankohofany sy hivavahany.
7 They put him on their backs, and take him up, and put him in his fixed place, from which he may not be moved; if a man gives a cry for help to him, he is unable to give an answer, or get him out of his trouble.
Dia betainy ho eny an-tsorony iny ka entiny ary apetrany eo amin’ ny fitoerany iny, ka dia mitoetra eo; Tsy mahay miala eo amin’ ny fitoerany iny; ary na dia misy mitaraina aminy aza, dia tsy mahay mamaly izy, na mahavonjy azy amin’ ny fahoriany.
8 Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.
Tsarovy izany ka mahereza ianareo eritrereto tsara izany, ry mpiodina.
9 Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;
Tsarovy ny zavatra taloha izay efa lasa ela; Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa; Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy tahaka Ahy,
10 Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;
Izay manambara ny farany hatramin’ ny voalohany, ary nanambara hatramin’ ny ela izay tsy mbola natao akory, dia ilay manao hoe: Ho tò ny fikasako, ary hefaiko ny sitrapoko rehetra,
11 Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.
Izay miantso vorona mpihaza avy any atsinanana, dia lehilahy avy any an-tany lavitra hahefa ny fikasako; sady efa niteny izany Aho no hahatanteraka azy koa, sady nikasa Aho no hahefa azy.
12 Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:
Mihainoa Ahy ianareo madi-po izay lavitra ny fahamarinana:
13 My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.
Hampanatoniko ny fahamarinako, ka tsy ho lavitra intsony; ary ny famonjeko tsy hitaredretra; fa hametraka famonjena ao Ziona Aho sy ny voninahitro ho an’ ny Isiraely.
