< Isaiah 46 >
1 Bel sinketh down; Nebo falleth; Their images are laid upon beasts and cattle; Those that ye once bore are packed upon them; A burden to the weary beast!
Mibotreke ty Bele, Midrokoke ty Nebò; vavè’ o bibio, o añombe mijiny kilankañeo, ty sare’e; nampilogologoeñe o raha endese’ areoo o biby mokotseo.
2 They sink down; they fall together; They cannot rescue the burden; They themselves go into captivity.
Mibokoboko iereo, mitrao-piondreke, tsy nitafete’ iareo i kilankañey; vaho songa nasese mb’am-pandrohizañe añe.
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel; Ye that have been borne by me from your birth, That have been carried by me from your earliest breath!
Mijanjiña ahy ry anjomba’ Iakobeo, naho ry sehangan’ anjomba’ Israeleo, o nivesareko boak’am-pisamaha’eo, o notroñeñe boak’ an-koviñe ao
4 Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and will deliver you.
pak’ an-ka’anterañeo, Izaho ro Ie, ho babèko pak’ a maròy foty irehe; Izaho ty namboatse, izaho ty hinday; eka hotroñeko mbore hampipalireko.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and compare me? Yea, to whom will ye compare me, that we may be like?
Ia ty hampañirinkiriña’ areo amako, naho hampihambaña’areo, vaho hampanahafa’ areo, soa te hifañoronkoroñe?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver in the balance; They hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; They fall down, yea, they worship it.
Mandrarake volamena boak’ an-kotrañe ao ty ila’e, naho mandanja volafoty am-balantsy; vaho mañarama mpanefe volamena hañamboare’e ndrahare, hibokobokoa’e naho hitalahoa’e.
7 They lift him upon the shoulder, and carry him; They set him in his place, and there he standeth; From his place he moveth not; Yea, one may cry to him, yet doth he not answer, Nor save him out of his distress.
Jinie’ iereo an-tsoroke, endeseñe, apo’ iereo amy toe’ey, ie mijagarodoñe eo, tsy hienga i toe’ey; eka, ndra t’ie kaikaiheñe tsy mete manoiñe, tsy haharombak’ aze amy hasosora’ey.
8 Remember these things, and show yourselves men; Lay them to heart, ye apostates!
Tiahio le mijadoña; ampolio an-troke ao, ry mpanan-kakeo.
9 Remember the former things in ancient times! For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
Tiahio o raha taoloo, eka haehae; te Izaho ro Andrianañahare naho tsy aman-tovo; Izaho ro Andrianañahare vaho tsy eo ty hambañe amako,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning; From ancient times the things that were not yet done; Saying, My purpose shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure;
Mitaroñe ty figadoña’e hirik’am-baloha’e, boake haehae añe o mbe tsy nanoeñeo, ami’ty hoe: Hijadoñe ty ereñereko, vaho hene hanoeko ze mahafale ty troko;
11 Calling from the East the eagle, The man that executeth my purpose from a far country; I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Ho tokaveko boak’ atiñanañe añe ty voroñe mipay hena; t’indaty nisafirieko boak’ an-tsietoitane añe; eka fa nivolan-dRaho le ho henefeko, niereñeren-dRaho vaho hanoeko.
12 Hearken to me, ye stubborn-hearted, That are far from deliverance!
Haoño iraho, ry gan-katokeo, ry lavitse havañonañeo.
13 I have brought near my deliverance; it is not far off; My salvation shall not tarry; I will give to Zion salvation, To Israel, my glory.
Hendeseko marine eo ty havantañako, tsy ho lavitse, tsy halaoñe i fandrombahakoy; vaho hatoloko amy Tsione ty fandrombahañe, ho a’ Israele engeko.
