Isaiah 59
1 Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, —Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.
Indro, ny tànan’ i Jehovah tsy fohy, fa mahavonjy, ary ny sofiny tsy lalodalovana, fa mahare;
2 But, your iniquities, have become separators betwixt you and your God, And your sins, have caused a hiding of face from you that he should-not hear.
Fa ny helokareo no efitra mampisaraka anareo amin’ Andriamanitrareo, ary ny fahotanareo no mampiafina ny tavany aminareo, ka dia tsy mihaino Izy.
3 For, your hands, are defiled with blood, And, your fingers, with iniquity, —Your lips, have spoken falsehood, and Your tongue, muttereth, perversity.
Fa ny tananareo dia voaloto amin’ ny rà, ary ny rantsan-tananareo amin’ ny heloka; ny molotrareo miteny lainga, ny lelanareo mibedibedy faharatsiana.
4 None, sueth in righteousness, and None, pleadeth in faithfulness, —Men are trusting in confusion, And speaking vanity, Conceiving wickedness And bringing forth iniquity:
Tsy misy mitory olona araka ny fahamarinana, na mandahatra ny rariny araka izay mahatoky; matoky ny tsy izy sy miteny zava-poana izy; Torontoronina fampahoriana izy ka miteraka fandozana.
5 Viper’s eggs, do they hatch, Spider’s threads, do they weave, —He that eateth of their eggs, dieth, And, that which is crushed, bringeth forth an adder;
Mikotrika ny atodin’ ny menarana izy ary manenona ny tranon-kala; Izay homana ny atodin’ ireny dia ho faty, fa raha poritra iny, dia menarana no miporitsaka avy ao.
6 Their threads, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics, —Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea the product of violence is in their hands;
Ny tranon-kalany tsy azo atao fitafiana, ary ny asany tsy mahatafy azy; ny asany dia asa fampahoriana, ary asan-doza no eo an-tànany.
7 Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood, —Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads;
Ny tongony miriotra ho amin’ ny ratsy sy mimaona handatsaka rà marina; ny fisainany dia fisainana fampahoriana, fandravana sy fandringanana no eo amin’ ny alehany.
8 the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks, —Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth well—being.
Ny lalan’ ny fiadanana tsy fantany; ary tsy misy rariny ao amin’ ny alehany; lalana miolakolaka ny lalany, ka na iza na iza mandia izany dia tsy mahita fiadanana.
9 For this cause, hath justice removed far from us, And righteousness overtaketh us not, —We wait for light, But lo! darkness, For brightness, In thick darkness, we walk:
Ary noho izany dia lavitra antsika ny rariny, ary ny fahamarinana tsy mahatratra antsika; miandry ny mazava isika, nefa indro ny maizina, ary fahazavana, fa mbola ao amin’ ny aizim-pito ihany no andehanantsika.
10 We grope, as blind men for a wall, Yea, as men without eyes, do we grope, —We have stumbled at broad noon as though it were twilight, In desolate places like the dead!
Mitsapatsapa manara-drindrina tahaka ny jamba isika eny, mitsapatsapa tahaka ny tsy mana-maso; tafintohina amin’ ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin’ ny maizimaizina isika, ary eo amin’ ny matanjaka dia tahaka ny maty isika.
11 We growl like bears all of us, And, like doves, do we, mournfully coo, —We wait For justice, and there is none, For salvation it is far from us!
Isika rehetra mampierona tahaka ny bera ary mitoloko tokoa tahaka ny voromailala; miandry ny rariny isika, nefa tsy misy, ary ny famonjena, nefa lavitra antsika izany.
12 For our transgressions have multiplied before thee, And, our sins, have witnessed against us, —For, our transgressions, are with us, And as for our iniquities, we acknowledge them:
Fa efa betsaka eo anatrehanao ny fiodinanay, ary ny fahotanay miampanga anay; eny, tsaroanay ny fahadisoanay, ary ny helokay dia fantatray,
13 Transgressing, and denying Yahweh, And turning away from following our God, —Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving, and muttering from the heart, words of falsehood.
Dia ny miodina sy ny mandà an’ i Jehovah, ary ny miala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ Andriamanitray, ny miteny fampahoriana sy fikomiana, ary ny mamorona sy mamoaka teny lainga avy ao am-po.
14 So then there hath been a driving back of justice, And righteousness, afar off, standeth, —For truth, hath stumbled in the broad-way, And, right, cannot enter;
Nahemotra ny rariny, ary mijanon-davitra ny hitsiny; fa tafintohina eny an-kalalahana ny fahamarinana, ary ny hitsim-po tsy mahazo miditra.
15 And the truth hath been found missing, And he that hath turned away from wrong is liable to be despoiled, And when, Yahweh, looked, Then was it grievous in his eyes that there was no justice:
Eny, tsy eo ny fahamarinana; ary izay mifady ny ratsy dia hoatra ny manolo-tena hobabom’ ny sasany. Ary hitan’ i Jehovah ny tsi-fisian’ ny rariny, ka nataony fa ratsy izany;
16 When he saw that there was no mighty man, Then was he astonished that there was none to interpose, —So his own arm brought him salvation, And his own righteousness, the same, upheld him;
Eny, hitany fa tsy nisy olona, sady talanjona Izy, satria tsy nisy mpanalalana, ka dia ny sandriny ihany no nanao famonjena ho Azy, ary ny fahamarinany no nanohana Azy.
17 And he put on Righteousness as a coat of mail, And a helmet of victory upon his head, —And he put on the garments of avenging, for clothing, And wrapped about him as a cloak—jealousy,
Niakanjo fahamarinana tahaka ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra Izy, ary fiarovan-doha famonjena no teo amin’ ny lohany; ary niakanjo ny akanjo famaliana Izy eny, nandray ny fahasaro-piaro ho akanjo ivelany Izy.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly, will he repay, Indignation to his adversaries, Recompense to his enemies, —To the Coastlands—recompense, will he repay:
Araka ny asa natao no hamaliany, dia fahatezerana mirehitra ho an’ ny fahavalony, famaliana ho an’ ny rafiny; ary ny nosy dia hovaliany tokoa.
19 That they may revere—From the West the name of Yahweh, And from the Rising of the Sun his glory, For he will come in like a rushing stream, the breath of Yahweh, driving it on;
Ary hatrany andrefana dia hatahotra ny anaran’ i Jehovah ny olona ary ny voninahiny hatramin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro; ary ny fihaviny dia ho toy ny rano maria, Ampandehanin’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah.
20 So shall come in for Zion, a Redeemer, Even for such as are turning from transgression in Jacob, —Declareth Yahweh.
Dia hisy Mpanavotra ho tonga any Ziona, Ho amin’ ny Jakoba izay miala amin’ ny fahadisoana, hoy Jehovah.
21 And as for me, this, shall be my covenant with them, Saith Yahweh: My spirit that is upon thee, And my words which I have put in thy mouth, —Shall not be taken out of thy mouth—Nor out of the mouth of thy seed. Nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, Saith Yahweh, From henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
Raha Izaho, dia izao no fanekeko aminy, hoy Jehovah: Ny Fanahiko Izay ao aminao sy ny teniko izay nataoko teo am-bavanao dia tsy hiala amin’ ny vavanao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranakao, na amin’ ny vavan’ ny taranaky ny taranakao, hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah.
