Isaiah 43
1 But now thus saith Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou art mine.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà namboatse azo, ry Iakobe, i nitsene azoy, ry Israele; ko hembañe fa nijebañe azo iraho, fa nikoihako ami’ty tahina’o, Ahiko irehe.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Ie mitsake o ranoo irehe, hindrezako, ie miranga saka, tsy handipora’e; ie misorok’ afo am-pandia tsy ho mae, le tsy hiviañe ama’o ty firebareba’e.
3 For I [am] Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, t’i Masi’ Israele, i Mpijebañe azoy; natoloko ho vilin’ai’o ty Mitsraime, i Kose naho i Sebà ho azo.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee; and I will give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
Aa kanao sarotse am-pañenteako, naho mañeva asiñe, vaho kokoako; le lahilahy maro ty ho tolorako ho azo, vaho rofoko ho solom-piai’o.
5 Fear not, for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Ko hembañe, fa indrezako; hendeseko boak’atiñanañe añe ty tiri’o, vaho hatontoko boak’ ahandrefañe añe.
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the end of the earth,
Hanao ty hoe iraho amy avaratsey: Hahao, naho ami’ty atimo: Ko tana’o, endeso boak’e tsietoitane añe o ana-dahikoo, naho boak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy o anak’ampelakoo—
7 every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory: I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
ze hene kanjieñe ami’ty añarako, o tsineneko ho ami’ty engekoo, o naoreko vaho namboarekoo.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Akaro boak’ ao ondaty goa am-pihainoo, o giñe an-dravembiao.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them declareth this, or causeth us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
Hene mifanontone o kilakila’ ndatio, songa mivory ondatio; ia am’ iereo ty mahafitsey izay, hitaroñe aman-tika o raha haehaeo? Ampiboaho o valolombelo’ iareoo hahazoa’ iareo to; hijanjiñañe, hanoañe ty hoe: To izay.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] HE: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Inahareo ro valolombeloko, hoe t’Iehovà, naho ty mpitoroko jinoboko; hahafohina’ areo naho hatokisa’ areo ahy, haharendreke te Ie iraho; tsy eo ty ‘ndrahare niforoñeñe taoloko, vaho tsy eo ty hanonjohy ahy.
11 I, I [am] Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.
Izaho le Izaho avao t’Iehovà; le naho tsy Izaho, tsy eo ty mpandrombake.
12 It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I [am] God.
Fa nitaroñe iraho, naho nandrombake, naho nañoke, te tsy aman’ Andrianañahare ila’e nahareo; aa le inahareo ro valolombeloko, hoe t’Iehovà, Izaho ro Andrianañahare.
13 Yea, since the day was, I [am] HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
Eka, boak’ amy àndro zay, le fa ie iraho, vaho tsy eo ty hahatavañe ty an-tañako; hitoloñe iraho, le ia ty mahasebañe.
14 Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
Hoe t’Iehovà mpijebañe anahareo, ty Masi’ Israele: inahareo ro nañitrifako e Bavele añe, le fonga nafotsako ho gike iareo naho o nte-Kasdy mitreñe o laka’eo.
15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Izaho Iehovà, Masi’ areo, i mpamboats’ Israeley, ty Mpanjaka’ areo.
16 Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
Aa hoe t’Iehovà mpamboatse lalañe mitsake i riakey, naho oloñoloñe mitoañe o rano mitroñeo;
17 who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power — they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow:
I mpañakatse i sarete reke-tsoavalaiy, o lahindefoñe naho haozara’eo— miharo fandreañe ao iereo, tsy hitroatse ka, fa mongotse, nakipeke hoe lamese.
18 — Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things:
Ko mitsakore o raha taoloo, ko mañereñere o raha haehaeo.
19 behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste.
Heheke te manao raha vao iraho, hitiry ami’ty manao zao; aa tsy ho rendre’ areo hao? hanatahako lalañe ka ty am-patrañe añe, naho saka an-dratraratra ao.
20 The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
Hiasy ahy o biby an-kivokeo, o fanalokeo naho o voron-tsatrañeo, ty amo rano nanoeko am-patrañeo, naho o saka an-dratraratrao, hanjotsoako rano ondaty jinobokoo;
21 This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
Ho talilie’ ondaty namboareko ho ahikoo, ty engeko.
22 — But thou hast not called upon me, Jacob; for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:
Fe tsy nikanjy ahy nahareo, ry Iakobe, namokoreko nahareo ry Israele.
23 thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to toil with an oblation, nor wearied thee with incense.
Tsy nisoroña’o ty añondri’o; tsy niasia’o amo engaeñeo; tsy nampijinieko engan-kaneñe, tsy nivozaheko ami’ty tsotse.
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast made me to toil with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
Tsy nibanabana’o fare naho drala, tsy nahaeneñ’ Ahy ty safom-pisoroña’o; te mone nampavesare’o amako o tahi’oo, vaho namokore’o amo hakeo’oo.
25 — I, I [am] He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
Izaho le Izaho avao ty namaoke o fiolà’o amakoo. vaho tsy ho tiahiko ka o hakeo’oo.
26 Put me in remembrance, let us plead together; rehearse thine own [cause], that thou mayest be justified.
Ajoño am-pitiahia’o ao iraho, antao hifaneseke; mitalilia hahazoa’o to.
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy mediators have rebelled against me.
Nandilatse i rae’o valoha’ey, vaho manan-kakeo amako ondati-aivo’oo;
28 And I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.
Aa le vinetako o ana-dona’ i toetse miavakeio, nengaeko am-patse t’Iakobe, vaho an-teratera t’Israele.
