Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
Mangozohozo Bela, efa miraika Nebo, ny sampiny dia nampitondraina ny biby folahina sy ny biby fiompy; Ny zavatra fitondranareo dia asampy ka tonga enta-mavesatra entin’ ireo biby reraka.
2 They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
Miraika sy mangozohozo avokoa izy, ka tsy mahavonjy ny entana akory; Fa na dia ny tenany aza dia lasan-ko babo koa.
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
Mihainoa Ahy, ry taranak’ i Jakoba sy izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, izay nobabena hatrany an-kibo sy nentina hatrany am-bohoka:
4 Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
Na dia mandra-pahantitrareo aza, dia tsy miova Aho, ary mandra-pahafotsy volonareo, dia Izaho ihany no hisahirana mitondra anareo. Izaho no nanao, ka Izaho ihany no hitrotro, eny, izaho no hitondra sy hanafaka.
5 To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
Hampitovinareo amin’ iza moa Aho, sy amin’ iza no hanoharanareo Ahy ary iza no hataonareo ho tahaka Ahy mba hitahany amiko?
6 Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
Izay mandraraka volamena avy ao an-kitapo sy mandania volafotsy amin’ ny mizana dia manakarama mpanefy volamena mba hanao izany ho andriamanitra, hiankohofany sy hivavahany.
7 He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Dia betainy ho eny an-tsorony iny ka entiny ary apetrany eo amin’ ny fitoerany iny, ka dia mitoetra eo; Tsy mahay miala eo amin’ ny fitoerany iny; ary na dia misy mitaraina aminy aza, dia tsy mahay mamaly izy, na mahavonjy azy amin’ ny fahoriany.
8 Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
Tsarovy izany ka mahereza ianareo eritrereto tsara izany, ry mpiodina.
9 Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me;
Tsarovy ny zavatra taloha izay efa lasa ela; Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa; Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy tahaka Ahy,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
Izay manambara ny farany hatramin’ ny voalohany, ary nanambara hatramin’ ny ela izay tsy mbola natao akory, dia ilay manao hoe: Ho tò ny fikasako, ary hefaiko ny sitrapoko rehetra,
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
Izay miantso vorona mpihaza avy any atsinanana, dia lehilahy avy any an-tany lavitra hahefa ny fikasako; sady efa niteny izany Aho no hahatanteraka azy koa, sady nikasa Aho no hahefa azy.
12 Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
Mihainoa Ahy ianareo madi-po izay lavitra ny fahamarinana:
13 I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
Hampanatoniko ny fahamarinako, ka tsy ho lavitra intsony; ary ny famonjeko tsy hitaredretra; fa hametraka famonjena ao Ziona Aho sy ny voninahitro ho an’ ny Isiraely.
