Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O islands, to Me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, YHWH has called Me from the womb, From the bowels of My mother He has made mention of My Name.
Mihainoa Ahy, ry nosy, ary atongilano ny sofinareo, ry firenena lavitra; Jehovah efa niantso Ahy hatrany am-bohoka; Hatry ny fony Aho mbola tao an-kibon’ ineny no efa nankalazainy ny anarako.
2 And He makes My mouth as a sharp sword, He has hid Me in the shadow of His hand, And He makes Me for a clear arrow, He has hid Me in His quiver.
Ary nataony tahaka ny sabatra maranitra ny vavako; tao amin’ ny aloky ny tànany no nanafenany Ahy. Ary nataony zana-tsipìka voalambolambo tsara Aho; teo amin’ ny tranon-jana-tsipìkany no nanafenany Ahy.
3 And He says to me, “You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.”
Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Mpanompoko Hianao, ry Isiraely ô. Izay entiko mampiseho ny voninahitro.
4 And I said, “I labored in vain, I consumed my power for emptiness and vanity, But my judgment [is] with YHWH, And my wage with my God.”
Fa hoy kosa Aho: Foana ny nisasarako, zava-poana sy tsinontsinona no nandaniako ny heriko; kanefa ao amin’ i Jehovah ny rariny tokony ho Ahy, Ary ny valin’ ny asako dia ao amin’ Andriamanitro.
5 “And now,” said YHWH, who is forming Me from the belly—His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honored in the eyes of YHWH, And My God has been My strength).
Ary ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, Izay namorona Ahy hatrany am-bohoka ho Mpanompony, hampodiana ny Jakoba ho ao aminy indray sy hamoriana ny Isiraely ho ao aminy, (Fa mahazo voninahitra eo imason’ i Jehovah Aho, Ary Andriamanitro no heriko),
6 And He says, “It has been a light thing That You are My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to bring back the preserved of Israel, And I have given You for a light to the nations, To be My salvation to the end of the earth.”
Eny, hoy Izy: Mbola zavatra kely foana, raha tonga Mpanompoko hanandratra ny firenen’ i Jakoba Hianao sy hampody ny Isiraely sisa voaro; Fa homeko ho fanazavana ny jentilisa koa Hianao, mba ho famonjeko hatrany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
7 Thus said YHWH, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the detested of a nation, To the Servant of rulers: “Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of YHWH, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooses You.”
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Mpanavotra ny Isiraely, dia ny Iray Masiny, Amin’ Ilay hamavoin’ ny olona sy halan’ ny firenena ka tonga mpanompon’ ny mpanapaka: Ny mpanjaka hahita ka hitsangana, ary ny mpanapaka koa, ka dia hiankohoka noho ny amin’ i Jehovah, Izay mahatoky dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, izay efa nifidy Anao.
8 Thus said YHWH: “In a time of good pleasure I answered You, And in a day of salvation I helped You, And I keep You, and give You, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tamin’ ny taona fankasitrahana no nihainoako Anao. Ary tamin’ ny andro famonjena no namonjeko Anao; Dia hiaro Anao Aho ka hanome Anao ho fanekena ho an’ ny olona, mba hanangana ny tany indray sy hampandova ny lova izay efa rava
9 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. They feed on the ways, And their pasture is in all high places.
ka hanao amin’ ny mpifatotra hoe: Mivoaha, Ary amin’ izay ao amin’ ny maizina hoe: Misehoa; hihinana eny an-dalana izy, ary na dia any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady aza dia hisy ahitra ho azy ihany.
10 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor do mirage and sun strike them, For He who is pitying them leads them, And tends them by fountains of waters.
Tsy ho noana na hangetaheta izy, ary tsy hamely azy ny hainandro migaingaina na ny masoandro; fa Izay mamindra fo aminy no hitarika azy, ary any amin’ ny loharano miboiboika no hitondrany azy.
11 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
Hataoko lalana ny tendrombohitro rehetra, ary hasandratra ny lalambeko.
12 Behold, these come in from afar, And behold, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.”
Indreo, tonga avy lavitra ireto; ary, indreo, avy any avaratra sy andrefana ireto, ary avy any amin’ ny tany Sinima ireto.
13 Sing, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For YHWH has comforted His people, And He pities His afflicted ones.
Mihobia, ry lanitra! Ary mifalia, ry tany! Ka velomy ny hoby, ry tendrombohitra! Fa Jehovah efa nampionona ny olony sy mamindra fo amin’ ny olony mahantra.
14 And Zion says, “YHWH has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”
Fa hoy Ziona’ Jehovah efa nahafoy ahy, ary ny Tompoto efa nanadino ahy.
15 “Does a woman forget her suckling, The loved one—the son of her womb? Indeed, these forget—but I do not forget you.
Mety manadino ny zanany minono va ny vehivavy ka tsy hamindra fo amin’ ny zanaka naloaky ny kibony? Eny, mety manadino ihany izy, Fa Izaho kosa tsy mba manadino anao.
16 Behold, I have carved you on the palms of the hand, Your walls [are] continually before Me.
Indro, efa vitako tombo-kavatsa eo am-pelatanako ianao, ary ny mandanao dia eo anatrehako mandrakariva.
17 Those building you have hurried, Those destroying you, and laying you waste, go out from you.
Tamy faingana ny zanakao; Ary izay nanimba sy nandrava anao dia miala aminao.
18 Lift up your eyes, [look] around and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to you. [As] I live,” a declaration of YHWH! “Surely you put on all of them as an ornament, And you bind them on like a bride.
Atopazy manodidina ny masonao, ka mijere; ireo rehetra ireo dia mivory ka mankeo aminao; raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Ireo rehetra ireo dia hihaingoanao tokoa tahaka ny firavaka sy hiravahanao tahaka ny fanaon’ ny ampakarina.
19 Because your ruins, and your desolate places, And the land of your ruins, Are now surely restricted because of inhabitants, And those consuming you have been far off.
Fa ny taninao rava sy ny fonenanao lao ary ny taninao simba dia tsy ho omby amin’ izany noho ny habetsahan’ ny mponina, ary ho lasa lavitra ireo nihinana anao.
20 Again the sons of your bereavement say in your ears: The place is too narrow for me, Come near to me—and I dwell.
Ny zanakao izay efa lasa teo dia mbola hilaza eo an-tsofinao hoe: Tsy omby ahy loatra ity tany ity, Mikisaha kely mba hitoerako.
21 And you have said in your heart: Who has begotten these for me? And I [am] bereaved and barren, A captive, and turned aside, And who has nourished these? Behold, I was left by myself, these—where [are] they from?”
Dia hanao anakampo ianao hoe: Iza no niteraka ireto ho ahy? Fa efa maty ny zanako, ary nitsaha-jaza aho. Babo aho sady noroahina, koa iza no namelona ireto? Indro, nilaozana ho irery aho, fa taiza kosa moa ireto?
22 Thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I lift up My hand to nations, And I raise up My ensign to peoples, And they have brought your sons in the bosom, And your daughters are carried on the shoulder.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo; Indro, hanandratra ny tanako amin’ ny jentilisa Aho ary hanangana ny fanevako amin’ ny firenena; dia hitrotro ny zanakao eo an-tratrany ireo, ary ny zanakaovavy ho entiny eny an-tsorony.
23 And kings have been your nursing fathers, And their princesses—your nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to you, And they lick up the dust of your feet, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.”
Mpanjaka no ho rainao mpitaiza anao, ary zanakavavin’ andriana no ho reninao mpampinono anao; hiankohoka amin’ ny tany eo anatrehanao izy ka hilelaka ny vovoka amin’ ny tongotrao; Dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah, ka tsy ho menatra izay miandry Ahy.
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?
Azo alaina eny amin’ ny mahery va ny sambotra? Na ho afaka va ny babo marina?
25 For thus said YHWH: “Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And I strive with your striver, and I save your sons.
Nefa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Na dia ny sambotry ny mahery aza dia halaina ihany, ary ho afaka ny babon’ ny mpandrombaka; fa Izaho no hiady amin’ izay miady aminao, ary Izaho no hamonjy ny zanakao.
26 And I have caused your oppressors to eat their own flesh, And they drink their own blood as new wine, And all flesh has known that I, YHWH, Your Savior, and your Redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!”
Sady hampihinaniko ny nofon’ ny tenany ihany izay mampahory anao, ary ho leon’ ny ran’ ny tenany ihany ireny, toy ny amin’ ny ranom-boaloboka; dia ho fantatry ny nofo rehetra fa Izaho Jehovah no Mpamonjy anao, ary Ilay Maherin’ i Jakoba no Mpanavotra anao.
