Isaiah 48
1 Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
oJanjiño zao, ry anjomba’ Iakobe, ie tokaveñe ami’ty tahina’ Israele, ry niboak’ ami’ty figoangoa’ Iehodà; o mifanta ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà naho mitalily i Andrianañahare’ Israeleo, fe tsy an-katò, tsy an-kavantañañe.
2 For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
Ie manao ho mpiamy rova miavakey, naho mpiato aman’ Añahare’ Israele, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
3 I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
Fa nitaroñeko haehae o raha taoloo; eka fa nionjoñe boak’am-bavako ao, nitaroñeko le tsipaepae’e te nifetsake;
4 Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;
Amy te napotako t’ie mitangingìñe, naho viñe ty tali-bozìn-kàto’o, Vaho torisìke ty lahara’o;
5 For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
Aa le nivolañako boake taolo añe, ie mbe tsy nitondroke le nitaroñako, tsy mone hatao’o ty hoe; Nihenefa’ i hazomangakoy, naho i sare pinateko an-kataey, vaho, i raha natranakoy ty nandily izay.
6 All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.
F’ie nahajanjiñe, heheke iaby o raha zao: aa vaho tsy ho taroñe’ areo? F’ie nitaroñeko raha vao henaneo, raha mietake mbe tsy nifohi’o.
7 They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
Nifonireñe henaneo, fa tsy haehae, tsy nijanjiña’o taolo’ ty andro toy, tsy mone hatao’o ty hoe t’ie nifanta’o.
8 Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.
Eka, tsy jinanji’o tsy napota’o; toe tsy nisokake o ravembia’oo haehae izay; fe napotako t’ie hikabo-draha, ihe natao mpiola boak’ an-koviñe ao.
9 Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.
Aa le ty añarako ty hampihankàñe o fifombokoo, i fandrengeañe ahiy ty ifoneñako, tsy mone haitoako irehe.
10 See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.
Ie hinasohasoko, fa tsy hoe volafoty; nitsoheko an-toñan-kaloviloviañe ao.
11 For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
Izaho, eka izaho, ty hanao izay; fa akore te ho tivaeñe ty añarako? toe tsy hatoloko ami’ty ila’e o engekoo.
12 Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.
Haoño iraho ry Iakobe, ry Israele kinanjiko; Izaho ro Ie, Izaho ty fifotora’e, naho Izaho ty figadoña’e.
13 Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places.
Eka, nandaharen-tañako ty faha’ ty tane toy, nilamahen-tañako havana o likerañeo; ie tokavako, mitrao-piongake.
14 Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.
Mitontoña, ie iaby, vaho mijanjiña: ia am’ iereo ty nitsey o raha zao? Hanao ty satrin-arofo’e e Bavele añe t’i kokoa’ Iehovà, ie hisenge ty sira’e amo nte-Kasdio.
15 I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.
Izaho le Izaho avao ty nivolañe, eka Izaho ty nitoka aze, Izaho ty nanese aze, Ie ty hampiraorao o lala’eo.
16 Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.
Mitotoha amako le janjiño: Boak’ am-baloha’e raho tsy nivolañe añ’etake; ie vaho namoroñe le tao iraho; ie amy zao fa nañirak’ ahy naho i Arofo’ey t’Iehovà Talè
17 The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.
Hoe t’Iehovà, Mpijebañe azo, t’i Masi’ Israele; Izaho Iehovà, Andrianañahare’o, I mpañòke azo ho ami’ty hasoa’oy, I mpiaolo azo an-dalan-kombà’oy.
18 If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Naho ho nihaoñe’ areo o lilikoo! le ho nanahake o oñeo ty fierañeraña’o, vaho hoe onjan-driake ty havantaña’o.
19 Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.
Le ho nira amo faseñeo o tiri’oo, o tariram-pañova’oo ami’ty hamaro’ ty haminjilita’e; naho tsy napitsoke ndra naitoañe aoloko ka ty tahina’e.
20 Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.
Iakaro i Bavele, Ivoratsaho o nte-Kasdio; am-peo-pisaboañe, tseizo, pazapazaho, koiho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy; Ano ty hoe: Fa jineba’ Iehovà ty mpitoro’e Iakobe.
21 They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.
Ie tsy nitaliñiereñe te niaoloa’e hitsake o fatram-beio; Nampipororoaha’e rano i vatoy; tsinera’e i lamilamiy vaho nidoandoañe i ranoy.
22 There is no peace, says the Lord, for the evil-doers.
Po-panintsiñañe, hoe t’Iehovà, o tsivokatseo.
