Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before mee, O ylands, and let the people renue their strength: let the come neere, and let them speake: let vs come together into iudgement.
Mianjiña, hijanjiña’ areo ahy, ry tokonoseo, ampaozareñe ondatio; hañarinea’ iareo mb’etoy, hisaontsy; Antao hototoke mb’eo hitsarañe.
2 Who raised vp iustice from the East, and called him to his foote? and gaue the nations before him, and subdued the Kings? he gaue them as dust to his sword, and as scattered stubble vnto his bowe.
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 pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feete.
Niheañe’e iereo, nirefe tsy an-joy; an-dalañe mbe lia tsy niliam-pandia’e.
4 Who hath wrought and done it? he that calleth the generations from the beginning. I the Lord am the first, and with the last I am ye same.
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 yles sawe it, and did feare, and the ends of the earth were abashed, drew neere, and came.
Nañeveñe o tokonoseo te nahaoniñe; nihondrahondra o olon-taneo; nitotoke iereo vaho nimb’atoy.
6 Euery man helped his neighbour, and saide to his brother, Be strong.
Mifañimba o mpifankarineo, songa manao aman-drahalahi’e: Mihaozara.
7 So the workeman comforted the founder, and he that smote with ye hammer, him that smote by course, saying, It is ready for the sodering, and he fastened it with nayles that it shoulde not be mooued.
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 seruant, and thou Iaakob, whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend.
F’ihe Israele, mpitoroko, Iakobe jinoboko, tirin’ Avrahame Rañeko;
9 For I haue taken thee from the endes of the earth, and called thee before the chiefe thereof, and saide vnto thee, Thou art my seruant: I haue chosen thee, and 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 Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not afraide, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, and helpe thee, and will susteine thee with the right hand of my iustice.
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 Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish.
Toe fonga ho salareñe naho aliheñe ze navaivay ama’o; harotsake o nañatreatre azoo, hafotsake tsy ho vente’e.
12 Thou shalt seeke them and shalt not finde them: to wit, the men of thy strife, for they shall be as nothing, and the men that warre against thee, as a thing of nought.
Ho paia’o fa tsy ho isa’o o nifañotokotok’ ama’oo; ho hakoahañe o nialy ama’oo, vata’e kòake.
13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
Amy te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty mikalañe ty fità’o ankavana, hanoako ty hoe: Ko mirevendreven-drehe, Izaho ty hañolotse azo.
14 Feare not, thou worme, Iaakob, and ye men of Israel: I wil helpe thee, sayth 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 Behold, I wil make thee a roller, and a newe threshing instrument hauing teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountaines, and bring them to pouder, and shalt make the hilles as chaffe.
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 fanne them, and the winde shall carie them away, and the whirlewinde shall scatter them: and thou shalt reioyce in the Lord, and shalt glory in the holy one of Israel.
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 When the poore and the needy seeke water, and there is none (their tongue faileth for thirst: I the Lord will heare 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 riuers in the toppes of the hils, and fountaines in the middes of the valleis: I will make the wildernesse as a poole of water, and the waste land as springs of water.
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 set in the wildernesse the cedar, the shittah tree, and the mirre tree, and the pine tree, and I will set in the wildernesse the firre tree, the elme and the boxe 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 Therefore let them see and knowe, and let them consider and vnderstande 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 Stand to your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith ye King of Iaakob.
Aboaho ty enta’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà; akaro ty filiera’ areo, hoe t’i Mpanjaka’ Iakobe.
22 Let them bring foorth, and let them tell vs what shall come: let them shew the former things what they be, that wee may consider them, and knowe the latter ende of them: either declare vs things for 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 Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yea, doe good or doe euill, that we may declare it, and beholde it 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 Beholde, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath chosen an abomination by them.
Toe tsy manjofake nahareo, koake o sata’ areoo. Avivivioke ty mifale ama’areo.
25 I haue raised vp from the North, and he shall come: from the East sunne shall he cal vpon my Name, and shall come vpon princes as vpon clay, and as the potter treadeth myre vnder the foote.
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 hath declared from the beginning, that we may knowe? or before time, that we may say, He is righteous? Surely there is none that sheweth: surely there is none that declareth: surely there is none that heareth your wordes.
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 I am the first, that saieth to Zion, Beholde, beholde them: and I will giue to Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings.
Izaho ty valoha’e nañitrik’ amy Tsione ty hoe: Heheke, ingo iereo; vaho hiraheko mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo ty hinday talily soa.
28 But when I behelde, there was none, and when I inquired of them, there was no counsellor, and when I demaunded of them, they answered not a woorde.
Mañente iraho, fe tsy ama’ ondaty; naho tsy amam-pamere, ie ho nañontaneako hahavalea’e.
29 Beholde, they are all vanitie: their worke is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
Heheke fonga tsy vokatse, tsy jefa’e o sata’ iareoo, toe tioke naho hakoahañe avao o sare fatrana’ iareoo.
