< Isaiah 56 >

1 This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about to be revealed.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Mifahara ami’ty hatò, naho ano ty havantañañe; toe mitotoke mb’eo ty fandrombahako, vaho ho bentareñe ty havañonako.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Haha t’indaty manao zao naho ty ana’ondaty mivontititse ama’e; te ambena’e i Sabotsey tsy hañotà’e faly, vaho tana’e ty fità’e tsy hanoe’e raty.
3 Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, I am a dry tree.”
Tsy apo’e hanao ty hoe, i renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovày: Toe havi’ Iehovà am’ondati’eo iraho; vaho tsy hado’e hanao ty hoe ty vositse: Inao! Hatae maike iraho.
4 For this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant,
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: O vositse mpitañ’ o Sabatakoo, naho mijoboñe o mahafale ahikoo, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
5 to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never be cut off.
Ho tolorako lily naho tahinañe an-trañoko ao naho am-po’ o rindrikoo ambone’ ze atao anadahy naho anak’ ampela: hitolorako tahinañe tsy ho modo, tsy haitoañe nainai’e
6 Also foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast my covenant
Le o renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovà hiatrak’ Aze, hikoko ty tahina’ Iehovà ho mpitoro’eo, ze mañambeñe i Sabotsey tsy haniva aze, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
7 —I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
Ie ro hendeseko mb’amy vohiko miavakey mb’eo, vaho hampifalèko an-kivohom- pitalahoako ao; ho rambeseñe amy kitrelikoy ty enga’ holora’ iareo naho o fisoroña’ iareoo; amy te hatao: Anjombam-pitalahoa’ ze kila ondaty ty kivohoko.
8 this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
Hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà, Mpanontone o naitoañe amo ana’ Israeleo, Mbe eo ty havoriko ho ama’e amo fa natontoko.
9 All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts in the forest!
O ry biby an-kivok’ ao, mb’etoa hampibotseke, eka ry hene biby añ’ala ao.
10 All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
Goa o mpijilo’eo, Songa tsy aman-kilala; Sindre amboa bobo tsy maha-hiake; mañinofy t’ie mibabòfoke, mpitea-roro.
11 The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
Eka matity o amboao, tsy apota’iareo ty atao etsake, toe mpiarak’añondry tsy mahafohiñe, o retiañe; songa mitsile mb’an-dala’e mb’eo sindre mampitombo ty aze avao pak’ an-tsitso’e.
12 “Come,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
Antao, hoe iereo, Hangalake divay, hampiboboke ty tron-tika an-toake; le hanahake ty andro toy avao ty hamaray, fe ampitoaboreñe.
