Isaiah 43
1 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, —Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!
Fa ankehitriny, ry Jakoba ô, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nahary anao sady namorona anao, ry Isiraely ô: Aza matahotra ianao, fa efa nanavotra anao Aho; Efa niantso ny anaranao Aho, Ahy ianao.
2 When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, —When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee;
Raha mita ny rano ianao, dia homba anao Aho; Ary raha mita ny ony ianao, dia tsy hanafotra anao izy; Raha mandeha mamaky ny afo ianao, dia tsy ho may, Ary tsy hirehitra aminao ny lelafo;
3 For, I,—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, —I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead.
Fa Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrao, Dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, Mpamonjy anao; Omeko ho avotrao Egypta, ary Etiopia sy Seba ho solonao.
4 Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, —And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life,
Satria malala eo imasoko ianao, eny, be voninahitra ianao sady tiako, dia olona no omeko ho solonao, ary firenena ho solon’ ny ainao.
5 Do not fear for, with thee, I am, —From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:
Aza mahatahotra, fa momba anao Aho; Hitondra ny taranakao avy any atsinanana Aho, ary avy any andrefana no hanangonako anao;
6 I will say to the North Give up! And to the South Do not withhold! Bring in My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;
Ny avaratra hilazako hoe: Avoahy, ary ny atsimo hoe: Aza hazonina; Alao ny zanako-lahy avy lavitra sy ny zanako-vavy avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany,
7 Every one who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!
Dia izay rehetra antsoina amin’ ny anarako sady nohariko ho voninahitro, dia izay noforoniko sy nataoko.
8 Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A deaf, that have, ears.
Ento mivoaka ny olona jamba mana-maso sy ny marenina manan-tsofina.
9 All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say Truth!
Aoka hiangona ny firenena rehetra, Ary aoka hivory ny olombelona; Iza aminareo no mahalaza izany? Aoka hambarany amintsika ny fahiny taloha; Aoka ho entiny ny vavolombelony hahamarina azy; Ary aoka hihaino ireo ka hiaiky hoe: Marina izany.
10 Ye, are my witnesses Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, —That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being:
Hianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, sady mpanompoko izay efa nofidiko, Mba hahafantaranareo sy hinoanareo Ahy ka ho azonareo tsara fa Izaho no Izy; Talohako dia tsy nisy andriamanitra voaforona, sady tsy hisy handimby Ahy.
11 I—I, am Yahweh, —And there is none besides me ready to save:
Izaho dia Izaho ihany no Jehovah Ary tsy misy Mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.
12 I, have told—and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh That, I, am GOD.
Izaho efa nilaza sy namonjy ary nanambara, ary tsy nisy hafa tao aminareo; Dia ianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, ary Izaho no Andriamanitra.
13 Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, —I work and who reverseth?
Eny, hatramin’ izary andro izany Izaho no Izy, Ary tsy misy maharombaka amin’ ny tanako; Miasa Aho, ka iza moa no mahasakana izany?
14 Thus saith Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down as fugitives, all of them, —Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Mpanavotra anareo, dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Noho ny aminareo no nanirahako tany Babylona, ary hampidiniko izy rehetra mbamin’ ny Kaldeana ho mpandositra ho any amin’ ny sambo izay efa nifaliany.
15 I—Yahweh, am Your Holy One, —The Creator of Israel, Your King.
Izaho no Jehovah, Iray Masinareo, Mpamorona ny Isiraely sady Mpanjakanareo.
16 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Who setteth in the sea, a way, —And in the mighty waters, a path;
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay manao lalana eny amin’ ny ranomasina sy lalan-kaleha eny amin’ ny rano manonja,
17 Who bringeth forth Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down They shall not arise, They are extinguished Like a wick, are they quenched!
Izay mamoaka ny kalesy sy ny soavaly, ny miaramila sy ny lehilahy miara-mandry avokoa izy ka tsy hiarina intsony, mitsilopilopy izy, ka dia maty toy ny jiro:
18 Do not keep in mind former things, —And things of old, do not consider:
Aza mahatsiaro ny lasa, na misaina ny taloha.
19 Behold me! doing a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers:
Indro, Izaho efa hanao zava-baovao, koa ankehitriny dia efa miposaka izany tsy hahalala izany va ianareo? eny, any an-efitra no hanaovako lalana ary any amin’ ny tany sao no hasiako ony;
20 The wild beast of the field shall honour me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto my people, my chosen:
Dia hanome voninahitra Ahy ny bibi-dia sy ny amboadia ary ny ostritsa, satria manisy rano any an-efitra sy ony any amin’ ny tany lao Aho, Hampisotroana ny oloko, dia ilay voafidiko.
21 A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.
Izao olona noforoniko ho Ahy izao no hanambara ny fiderana Ahy.
22 Yet not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob, —For thou hast been wearied of me O Israel:
Nefa Izaho tsy mba nantsoinao, ry Jakoba; Fa sasatra amiko ianao, ry Isiraely.
23 Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me, —I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee with frankincense;
Tsy nitondranao ny zanak’ ondry fanatitra doranao Aho, na nomenao voninahitra tamin’ ny fanatitrao. Tsy nampahavesatra anao tamin’ ny fanatitra Aho, na nanasatra anao tamin’ ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona.
24 Thou hast not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me, —Thou hast done nothing but oppress me with thy sins, Thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
Tsy nandoa vola namidy veromanitra ho Ahy ianao, na nahavoky Ahy tamin’ ny saboran’ ny fanatitrao; Fa nampahavesatra Ahy tamin’ ny fahotanao kosa ianao sy nanasatra Ahy tamin’ ny helokao.
25 I—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, —And, thy sins, not remember.
Izaho dia Izaho no mamono ny fahadisoanao noho ny amin’ ny tenako, ary tsy hotsarovako ny fahotanao.
26 Put me in mind, Let us enter into judgment at once, —Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified:
Ampahatsiarovy Aho, ka avia isika hifandahatra; Alaharo ary ny teninao, mba hahitana izay mahamarina anao.
27 Thy chief father, hath sinned, And thine interpreters, have transgressed against me;
Ny razambenao voalohany indrindra dia efa nanota, ary ireny mpanalalana aminao efa niodina tamiko,
28 So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place, —And deliver Jacob to be devoted to destruction, and Israel, unto reviling!
Koa izany no nanaovako ny mpanapaka masìna ho tsy masìna, sy nanolorako an’ i Jakoba ho fandringana ary Isiraely ho latsa.
