Isaiah 43
1 But now thus saith the LORD 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 the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as 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 art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I 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 far, 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 The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that have ears.
Akaro boak’ ao ondaty goa am-pihainoo, o giñe an-dravembiao.
9 All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and 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 the LORD, 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 any 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, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.
Izaho le Izaho avao t’Iehovà; le naho tsy Izaho, tsy eo ty mpandrombake.
12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and 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 can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse 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 the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.
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 the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Izaho Iehovà, Masi’ areo, i mpamboats’ Israeley, ty Mpanjaka’ areo.
16 Thus saith the LORD, 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 the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:
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 ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Ko mitsakore o raha taoloo, ko mañereñere o raha haehaeo.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
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 beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;
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 The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.
Ho talilie’ ondaty namboareko ho ahikoo, ty engeko.
22 Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself about 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 honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
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 satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me 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, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.
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; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Ajoño am-pitiahia’o ao iraho, antao hifaneseke; mitalilia hahazoa’o to.
27 Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors have transgressed against Me.
Nandilatse i rae’o valoha’ey, vaho manan-kakeo amako ondati-aivo’oo;
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.
Aa le vinetako o ana-dona’ i toetse miavakeio, nengaeko am-patse t’Iakobe, vaho an-teratera t’Israele.
