Isaiah 26
1 In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, —A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hohiraina eto amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda izao fihirana izao: Manana tanàna mafy isika; Famonjena no hotendren’ i Jehovah ho manda sy fiarovana.
2 Open ye the gates, —That there may enter in—a righteous nation preserving fidelity.
Vohay ny vavahady, mba hidiran’ ny firenena marina, izay mitana ny fahamarinana.
3 A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.
Ny saina tsy miovaova dia harovanao ao amin’ ny fiadanana tanteraka, satria matoky Anao izy.
4 Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, —For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.
Matokia an’ i Jehovah mandrakizay, fa Jehovah Tompo no Vatolampy mandrakizay.
5 For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, —He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
Fa naetriny ny mponina avo toerana; Ny tanàna avo dia arodany, eny, arodany ho amin’ ny tany ka: azerany ho amin’ ny vovoka.
6 The foot trampleth it, —The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,
Hitsahin’ ny tongotra izy, dia ny tongotry ny ory sy ny faladian’ ny mahantra.
7 The path of a righteous man, is, even, —O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
Voaravona ny lalan’ ny marina: Eny, aravonao ho marina indrindra ny alehan’ ny marina.
8 Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, —Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
Koa amin’ ny lalan’ ny fitsaranao, Jehovah ô, no iandrasanay Anao, ny anaranao sy ny fahatsiarovana Anao no irin’ ny fanahinay.
9 With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, —For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
Amin’ ny fanahiko no aniriako Anao nony alina; Eny, ny saiko ato anatiko no itadiavako Anao fatratra; Fa raha mamely ny tany ny fitsaranao, dia mianatra fahamarinana ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, —And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
Na dia asiana soa aza ny ratsy fanahy, tsy mety mianatra fahamarinana izy; Eny, na dia ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahamarinana aza izy, mbola manao meloka ihany ka tsy mety mijery ny fahalehibiazan’ i Jehovah.
11 O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, —yet do they not see, Would they might see—and turn pale at a people’s zeal, —Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
Jehovah ô, avo ny tananao, nefa tsy jeren’ ireo; Tsy maintsy hojereny ihany anefa ny fahasaro-piaronao amin’ ny olonao, ka ho menatra izy; Eny, afo no handevona ny fahavalonao.
12 O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, —For even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,
Jehovah ô, manorina fiadanana ho anay Hianao: Fa ny asanay rehetra dia tanterahinao ho anay.
13 O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, —By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.
Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, tsy Hianao ihany no efa nampanompo anay, fa tompo hafa koa; Nefa Hianao irery ihany no ahazoanay mankalaza ny anaranao.
14 The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, —Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.
Ny maty tsy ho velona intsony, ny matoatoa tsy mba hitsangana; Fa novalianao izy ka naringanao, sady nolevoninao avokoa ny fahatsiarovana azy.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
Nampitombo ny firenena Hianao, Jehovah ô, Eny, nampitombo ny firenena Hianao ka nahazo voninahitra ho Anao; Nitarinao halalaka avokoa ny faritry ny tany.
16 O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, —They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
Jehovah ô, nony azom-pahoriana izy, dia nitady Anao; Nony niharan’ ny famaizanao izy, dia nanao vavaka anakampo.
17 Like as a woman with child—Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; —
Tahaka izay bevohoka efa madiva hiteraka ka miolanolana sy mitaraina noho ny faharariany, dia tahaka izany izahay teo imasonao, Jehovah ô,
18 We were with child—We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, —Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born the inhabitants of the world.
Efa bevohoka izahay, efa nihetsi-jaza izahay, Efa tahaka ny nitera-drivotra izahay; Tsy nahavita famonjena ho an’ ny tany izahay, ka tsy niteraka ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
19 Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, —Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.
Ho velona indray ny olonao izay efa maty, ny fatin’ ny oloko hitsangana; Koa mifohaza sy mihobia, ianareo izay mandry ao amin’ ny vovoka; Fa ny andonao dia tahaka ny andon’ ny fahazavana, ary ny tany hiteraka ny maty.
20 Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, —Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
Mandehana, ry oloko, midìra ao amin’ ny efi-tranonao, ary mirindrina varavarana ianao, ka miere kely indray mipi-maso monja Mandra-pahalasan’ ny fahatezerana.
21 For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him, —Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy amin’ ny fitoerany hamaly ny mponina amin’ ny tany noho ny helony; Ary ny tany hampiseho ny rà izay nofohiny ka tsy hanafina intsony izay novonoina teo aminy.
