Isaiah 56
1 This is what the Lord says: Follow the law, and do what is right, for my salvation will soon arrive, and my goodness will be revealed.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Mifahara ami’ty hatò, naho ano ty havantañañe; toe mitotoke mb’eo ty fandrombahako, vaho ho bentareñe ty havañonako.
2 Blessed is everyone who does this—those who keep to it, who observe the Sabbath without violating it, and who don't do anything wrong.
Haha t’indaty manao zao naho ty ana’ondaty mivontititse ama’e; te ambena’e i Sabotsey tsy hañotà’e faly, vaho tana’e ty fità’e tsy hanoe’e raty.
3 Don't allow foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord say, “The Lord will definitely exclude me from his people.” And don't allow eunuchs to say, “Look at me—I'm as worthless as a dried-up tree because I'm childless.”
Tsy apo’e hanao ty hoe, i renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovày: Toe havi’ Iehovà am’ondati’eo iraho; vaho tsy hado’e hanao ty hoe ty vositse: Inao! Hatae maike iraho.
4 For this is what the Lord says: To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths, who choose to do what pleases me, and to keep my agreement,
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: O vositse mpitañ’ o Sabatakoo, naho mijoboñe o mahafale ahikoo, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
5 I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a place to remember them and a reputation better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting reputation that will never fade.
Ho tolorako lily naho tahinañe an-trañoko ao naho am-po’ o rindrikoo ambone’ ze atao anadahy naho anak’ ampela: hitolorako tahinañe tsy ho modo, tsy haitoañe nainai’e
6 About the foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord, who worship him, who love the Lord, and who are his servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath without violating it and who keep to my agreement—
Le o renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovà hiatrak’ Aze, hikoko ty tahina’ Iehovà ho mpitoro’eo, ze mañambeñe i Sabotsey tsy haniva aze, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
7 I will bring these foreigners to my holy mountain and make them happy in my house of prayer. I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices, because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
Ie ro hendeseko mb’amy vohiko miavakey mb’eo, vaho hampifalèko an-kivohom- pitalahoako ao; ho rambeseñe amy kitrelikoy ty enga’ holora’ iareo naho o fisoroña’ iareoo; amy te hatao: Anjombam-pitalahoa’ ze kila ondaty ty kivohoko.
8 This is what the Lord God says, who brought back the scattered people of Israel: I will bring back still others to join you.
Hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà, Mpanontone o naitoañe amo ana’ Israeleo, Mbe eo ty havoriko ho ama’e amo fa natontoko.
9 Come, wild animals, wild animals of the countryside and forests, come and eat my people!
O ry biby an-kivok’ ao, mb’etoa hampibotseke, eka ry hene biby añ’ala ao.
10 For all the watchmen are blind. None of them know what's going on. They're all silent—they can't bark. They spend their time lying down, dreaming, loving to sleep.
Goa o mpijilo’eo, Songa tsy aman-kilala; Sindre amboa bobo tsy maha-hiake; mañinofy t’ie mibabòfoke, mpitea-roro.
11 They're greedy dogs that are never satisfied. They're sheepdogs who don't know their job. All of them go their own way, each of them looking out for themselves.
Eka matity o amboao, tsy apota’iareo ty atao etsake, toe mpiarak’añondry tsy mahafohiñe, o retiañe; songa mitsile mb’an-dala’e mb’eo sindre mampitombo ty aze avao pak’ an-tsitso’e.
12 “Come on,” they say, “I'll get some wine and let's get drunk! We'll do this today, and tomorrow we'll drink so much more!”
Antao, hoe iereo, Hangalake divay, hampiboboke ty tron-tika an-toake; le hanahake ty andro toy avao ty hamaray, fe ampitoaboreñe.
