Isaiah 48
1 "Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of YHWH, and make mention of the God of Israel, but 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 they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; YHWH of hosts is his name):
Ie manao ho mpiamy rova miavakey, naho mpiato aman’ Añahare’ Israele, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
3 I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they happened.
Fa nitaroñeko haehae o raha taoloo; eka fa nionjoñe boak’am-bavako ao, nitaroñeko le tsipaepae’e te nifetsake;
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
Amy te napotako t’ie mitangingìñe, naho viñe ty tali-bozìn-kàto’o, Vaho torisìke ty lahara’o;
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded 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 You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have 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 They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, 'Look, 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 Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.
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 my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.
Aa le ty añarako ty hampihankàñe o fifombokoo, i fandrengeañe ahiy ty ifoneñako, tsy mone haitoako irehe.
10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Ie hinasohasoko, fa tsy hoe volafoty; nitsoheko an-toñan-kaloviloviañe ao.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
Izaho, eka izaho, ty hanao izay; fa akore te ho tivaeñe ty añarako? toe tsy hatoloko ami’ty ila’e o engekoo.
12 "Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: 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 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
Eka, nandaharen-tañako ty faha’ ty tane toy, nilamahen-tañako havana o likerañeo; ie tokavako, mitrao-piongake.
14 "Let all of them assemble and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom YHWH loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be 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; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Izaho le Izaho avao ty nivolañe, eka Izaho ty nitoka aze, Izaho ty nanese aze, Ie ty hampiraorao o lala’eo.
16 "Come near to me and hear this: "From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I." Now YHWH has sent me, with 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 says YHWH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am YHWH your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should 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 But would that you had listened to my commandments. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like 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 Your descendants would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains; 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 from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say, YHWH has 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 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, 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," says YHWH, "for the wicked."
Po-panintsiñañe, hoe t’Iehovà, o tsivokatseo.
