< Isaiah 43 >

1 And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] 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 you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
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—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.
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 you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your 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 Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.
Ko hembañe, fa indrezako; hendeseko boak’atiñanañe añe ty tiri’o, vaho hatontoko boak’ ­ahandrefañe añe.
6 I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, 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 Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.
ze hene kanjieñe ami’ty añarako, o tsineneko ho ami’ty engekoo, o naoreko vaho namboarekoo.
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Akaro boak’ ao ondaty goa am-pihainoo, o giñe an-dravembiao.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “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 You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
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 [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
Izaho le Izaho avao t’Iehovà; le naho tsy Izaho, tsy eo ty mpandrombake.
12 I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, 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 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
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] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
Izaho Iehovà, Masi’ areo, i mpamboats’ Israeley, ty Mpanjaka’ areo.
16 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà mpamboatse lalañe mitsake i riakey, naho oloñoloñe mitoañe o rano mitroñeo;
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
I mpañakatse i sarete reke-tsoavalaiy, o lahindefoñe naho haozara’eo— miharo fandreañe ao iereo, tsy hitroatse ka, fa mongotse, nakipeke hoe lamese.
18 Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
Ko mitsakore o raha taoloo, ko mañereñere o raha haehaeo.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
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 beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.
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 I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
Ho talilie’ ondaty namboareko ho ahikoo, ty engeko.
22 And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,
Fe tsy nikanjy ahy nahareo, ry Iakobe, namokoreko nahareo ry Israele.
23 You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.
Tsy nisoroña’o ty añondri’o; tsy niasia’o amo engaeñeo; tsy nampijinieko engan-kaneñe, tsy nivozaheko ami’ty tsotse.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your 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 [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.
Izaho le Izaho avao ty namaoke o fiolà’o amakoo. vaho tsy ho tiahiko ka o hakeo’oo.
26 Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
Ajoño am-pitiahia’o ao iraho, antao hifaneseke; mitalilia hahazoa’o to.
27 Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
Nandilatse i rae’o valoha’ey, vaho manan-kakeo amako ondati-aivo’oo;
28 And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Aa le vinetako o ana-dona’ i toetse miavakeio, nengaeko am-patse t’Iakobe, vaho an-teratera t’Israele.
