Isaiah 41
1 Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to judgment together.
Mianjiña, hijanjiña’ areo ahy, ry tokonoseo, ampaozareñe ondatio; hañarinea’ iareo mb’etoy, hisaontsy; Antao hototoke mb’eo hitsarañe.
2 Who hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him? he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.
Ia ty nampitsekake i boak’ atiñanañey hitroara’e an-kavañonañe? Ie apo’e aolo’e ey o kilakila ondatio naho ampiambanè’e o mpanjakao? Idemohe’ i fibara’ey ho deboke, ahofahofa i fale’ey hoe t’ie kafo’e.
3 He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall appear after his feet.
Niheañe’e iereo, nirefe tsy an-joy; an-dalañe mbe lia tsy niliam-pandia’e.
4 Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.
Ia ty nitsakore vaho nahatafetetse? Ie nikanjy o tariratseo am’baloha’e añe. Izaho Iehovà, ty valoha’e, vaho ty fara’e, Ie iRaho.
5 The islands saw it, and feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came.
Nañeveñe o tokonoseo te nahaoniñe; nihondrahondra o olon-taneo; nitotoke iereo vaho nimb’atoy.
6 Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.
Mifañimba o mpifankarineo, songa manao aman-drahalahi’e: Mihaozara.
7 The coppersmith striking with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
Aa le hafatrare’ i mpandranjiy ty mpitsene volamena, risihe’ i mpamañe añ’ana-batoy i mipeke renem-batoy; le ata’e ty hoe i fanodirañey: Soa zao. Rekete’e am-pati-by tsy hitroetroe.
8 But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:
F’ihe Israele, mpitoroko, Iakobe jinoboko, tirin’ Avrahame Rañeko;
9 In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.
Ie rinambeko añ’olo’ ty tane toy añe naho nitoka azo an-tsietoitane añe, nanao ty hoe ama’o: Mpitoroko irehe, jinoboko fa tsy nifarieko;
10 Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee.
Ko hemban-drehe, fa indrezako, ko mijilojilo: Izaho ro Andrianañahare’o; le hampaozareko toe hañimb’ azo iraho; Eka, ho tohanako an-tañan-kavanan- kavantàñako.
11 Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee.
Toe fonga ho salareñe naho aliheñe ze navaivay ama’o; harotsake o nañatreatre azoo, hafotsake tsy ho vente’e.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee.
Ho paia’o fa tsy ho isa’o o nifañotokotok’ ama’oo; ho hakoahañe o nialy ama’oo, vata’e kòake.
13 For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee.
Amy te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty mikalañe ty fità’o ankavana, hanoako ty hoe: Ko mirevendreven-drehe, Izaho ty hañolotse azo.
14 Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.
Ko hembañe ry oletse Iakobe, ry ondati’ Israeleo, fa holoreko, hoe t’Iehovà Mpijebañe azo, i Masi’ Israeley.
15 I have made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: thou shall thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Ingo rinanjiko ho fandisañan-drehe, reketse nife masioñe; ho lisane’o o vohitseo, ho demohe’o, vaho hanoe’o kafo o tambohoo.
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.
Ho tsongae’o, le hahofa’ i tiokey mb’eo, naho haboele’ i tangololahiy; naho hirebeha’o ty tahina’ Iehovà, handia-taroba amy Masi’ Israeley.
17 The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Mipay rano o rarakeo naho o poi’eo, fe tsy eo, kantañe an-karan-drano’e ty famele’ iareo; izaho Iehovà ty hanoiñe iareo, Tsy haforintseko; izaho Andrianañahare’ Israele.
18 I will open rivers in the high bills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.
Hanokafako torahañe o haboan-diolioo, naho rano manganahana añivo’ o vavataneo; hanoako sihanake lifo-drano ty fatrambey naho rano mipororoake o tane kankañeo.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together:
Hapoko an-dratraratra ao ty mendorave naho ty roy, ty akao naho ty olive; hadoko an-diolio ao ty sohihy, reketse ty harandranto, vaho ty kobaiñe.
20 That they may see and know, and consider, and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Soa t’ie hahaisake naho haharendreke hitsakore naho hitrao-kilala te nanoem-pità’ Iehovà zao, vaho tsinene’ i Masi’ Israeley.
21 Bring your cause near, saith the Lord: bring hither, if you have any thing to allege, saith the King of Jacob.
Aboaho ty enta’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà; akaro ty filiera’ areo, hoe t’i Mpanjaka’ Iakobe.
22 Let them come, and tell us all things that are to come: tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them, and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are to come.
Ee t’ie hakare’areo, hitsey ama’ay o hifetsakeo; o raha taoloo, te inoñe? Atalilio hitsakorea’ay, hahafohina’ay ty figadoña’e; he taroño ama’ay o raha ho avio.
23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.
Itokio o raha mbe hiheo amy añeio, hahafohina’ay t’ie ndrahare; ke anò ty soa, he anò ty raty, hisamba’ay, hitraofa’ay fañeveñañe.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.
Toe tsy manjofake nahareo, koake o sata’ areoo. Avivivioke ty mifale ama’areo.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes to be as dirt, and as the potter treading clay.
Fa nitsekafeko i tavaratse añey, le fa pok’eo, boak’ am-panjiriha’ i àndroy añe; ie hitoka ty añarako vaho hivotrak’ amo mpifeheo hoe an-dietse, manahake ty fandialiàm-panao valàñe-tane i lietsey.
26 Who bath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth, nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth your words.
Ia ty nitsey boak’ am-baloha’e haharendreha’ay: naho haehae añe, hahavolaña’ay t’ie to? Toe tsy amam-mpitaroñe, eka, leo raike tsy mitalily, toe tsy eo ty mahajanjiñe o lañona’oo.
27 The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.
Izaho ty valoha’e nañitrik’ amy Tsione ty hoe: Heheke, ingo iereo; vaho hiraheko mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo ty hinday talily soa.
28 And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
Mañente iraho, fe tsy ama’ ondaty; naho tsy amam-pamere, ie ho nañontaneako hahavalea’e.
29 Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
Heheke fonga tsy vokatse, tsy jefa’e o sata’ iareoo, toe tioke naho hakoahañe avao o sare fatrana’ iareoo.
