Isaiah 56
1 Yahweh says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon 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 who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning 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 joined himself to Yahweh speak, saying, “Yahweh will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, 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 Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: O vositse mpitañ’ o Sabatakoo, naho mijoboñe o mahafale ahikoo, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
5 I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not 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 the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him, and to love Yahweh’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and 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 these 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 peoples.”
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 The Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “I will yet gather others to him, in addition to his own who are gathered.”
Hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà, Mpanontone o naitoañe amo ana’ Israeleo, Mbe eo ty havoriko ho ama’e amo fa natontoko.
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
O ry biby an-kivok’ ao, mb’etoa hampibotseke, eka ry hene biby añ’ala ao.
10 His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Goa o mpijilo’eo, Songa tsy aman-kilala; Sindre amboa bobo tsy maha-hiake; mañinofy t’ie mibabòfoke, mpitea-roro.
11 Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
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, “I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be as today, great beyond measure.”
Antao, hoe iereo, Hangalake divay, hampiboboke ty tron-tika an-toake; le hanahake ty andro toy avao ty hamaray, fe ampitoaboreñe.
