Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the spring of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, —not in truth, nor in righteousness.
oJanjiño zao, ry anjomba’ Iakobe, ie tokaveñe ami’ty tahina’ Israele, ry niboak’ ami’ty figoangoa’ Iehodà; o mifanta ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà naho mitalily i Andrianañahare’ Israeleo, fe tsy an-katò, tsy an-kavantañañe.
2 For of the holy city they call themselves, and upon the God of Israel they stay themselves, —The Lord of hosts is his name.
Ie manao ho mpiamy rova miavakey, naho mpiato aman’ Añahare’ Israele, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
3 The former things have I declared from the beginning; and out of my mouth went they forth, and I announced them: suddenly did I accomplish them, and they came to pass;
Fa nitaroñeko haehae o raha taoloo; eka fa nionjoñe boak’am-bavako ao, nitaroñeko le tsipaepae’e te nifetsake;
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, that like an iron sinew is thy neck, and thy brow of copper;
Amy te napotako t’ie mitangingìñe, naho viñe ty tali-bozìn-kàto’o, Vaho torisìke ty lahara’o;
5 And I declared it to thee from the beginning; before yet it came to pass did I let thee hear it: lest thou should say, My idol hath done these things, and my graven image, and my molten image, have ordained them.
Aa le nivolañako boake taolo añe, ie mbe tsy nitondroke le nitaroñako, tsy mone hatao’o ty hoe; Nihenefa’ i hazomangakoy, naho i sare pinateko an-kataey, vaho, i raha natranakoy ty nandily izay.
6 Thou hast heard it; see it all now; and you—will you not declare it? I caused thee to hear new things, from this time, even hidden things which thou hadst not known.
F’ie nahajanjiñe, heheke iaby o raha zao: aa vaho tsy ho taroñe’ areo? F’ie nitaroñeko raha vao henaneo, raha mietake mbe tsy nifohi’o.
7 Now are they created, and not from the beginning; and before the day [that I announced them] thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Nifonireñe henaneo, fa tsy haehae, tsy nijanjiña’o taolo’ ty andro toy, tsy mone hatao’o ty hoe t’ie nifanta’o.
8 But neither hadst thou heard it; nor didst thou know; nor had in ancient times thy ear been opened; for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and a transgressor wast thou called from thy birth.
Eka, tsy jinanji’o tsy napota’o; toe tsy nisokake o ravembia’oo haehae izay; fe napotako t’ie hikabo-draha, ihe natao mpiola boak’ an-koviñe ao.
9 For the sake of my name will I defer my anger, and because of my praise will I restrain it toward thee, so that I may not cut thee off.
Aa le ty añarako ty hampihankàñe o fifombokoo, i fandrengeañe ahiy ty ifoneñako, tsy mone haitoako irehe.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, though not into silver: I have approved thee in the crucible of affliction.
Ie hinasohasoko, fa tsy hoe volafoty; nitsoheko an-toñan-kaloviloviañe ao.
11 For my own sake will I do it: for how would [my name] be dishonored? and my glory will I not give unto another.
Izaho, eka izaho, ty hanao izay; fa akore te ho tivaeñe ty añarako? toe tsy hatoloko ami’ty ila’e o engekoo.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel, my called one; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Haoño iraho ry Iakobe, ry Israele kinanjiko; Izaho ro Ie, Izaho ty fifotora’e, naho Izaho ty figadoña’e.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned out the heavens: I call unto them, they stand forward together.
Eka, nandaharen-tañako ty faha’ ty tane toy, nilamahen-tañako havana o likerañeo; ie tokavako, mitrao-piongake.
14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear: Who among them hath told these things? He whom the Lord loveth, will do his pleasure on Babylon, and [display] his arm [on] the Chaldeans.
Mitontoña, ie iaby, vaho mijanjiña: ia am’ iereo ty nitsey o raha zao? Hanao ty satrin-arofo’e e Bavele añe t’i kokoa’ Iehovà, ie hisenge ty sira’e amo nte-Kasdio.
15 I, even I, have spoken it, I have also called him: I have brought him, and he shall be prosperous on his way.
Izaho le Izaho avao ty nivolañe, eka Izaho ty nitoka aze, Izaho ty nanese aze, Ie ty hampiraorao o lala’eo.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; never from the beginning have I spoken in secret; from the time that it occurred, was I there. And now the Lord Eternal hath sent me, and his Spirit.
Mitotoha amako le janjiño: Boak’ am-baloha’e raho tsy nivolañe añ’etake; ie vaho namoroñe le tao iraho; ie amy zao fa nañirak’ ahy naho i Arofo’ey t’Iehovà Talè
17 Thus hath said the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord thy God who teach thee for thy profit, who lead thee by the way thou shouldst go.
Hoe t’Iehovà, Mpijebañe azo, t’i Masi’ Israele; Izaho Iehovà, Andrianañahare’o, I mpañòke azo ho ami’ty hasoa’oy, I mpiaolo azo an-dalan-kombà’oy.
18 Oh that thou hadst but listened to my commandments! then would have been as a river thy peace, and thy prosperity as the waves of the sea:
Naho ho nihaoñe’ areo o lilikoo! le ho nanahake o oñeo ty fierañeraña’o, vaho hoe onjan-driake ty havantaña’o.
19 And then would have been as the sand thy seed, and the offspring of thy body like the pebbles of the sea-shore; yet shall his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Le ho nira amo faseñeo o tiri’oo, o tariram-pañova’oo ami’ty hamaro’ ty haminjilita’e; naho tsy napitsoke ndra naitoañe aoloko ka ty tahina’e.
20 Go forth out of Babylon, flee away from the Chaldeans, with the voice of singing declare, announce this, carry it forth as far as the end of the earth; say, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Iakaro i Bavele, Ivoratsaho o nte-Kasdio; am-peo-pisaboañe, tseizo, pazapazaho, koiho pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy; Ano ty hoe: Fa jineba’ Iehovà ty mpitoro’e Iakobe.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; waters out of the rock he let drop down for them: and he cleaved the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Ie tsy nitaliñiereñe te niaoloa’e hitsake o fatram-beio; Nampipororoaha’e rano i vatoy; tsinera’e i lamilamiy vaho nidoandoañe i ranoy.
22 There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Po-panintsiñañe, hoe t’Iehovà, o tsivokatseo.
