Isaiah 25
1 O Jehovah, my God [art] Thou, I exalt Thee, I confess Thy name, For Thou hast done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old, stedfastness, O stedfast One.
Jehovah ô, Andriamanitro Hianao; Hanandratra Anao sy hidera ny anaranao aho, fa efa nanao zava-mahagaga Hianao, dia zavatra efa voakasa hatramin’ ny ela sady mahatoky no marina indrindra.
2 For Thou didst make of a city a heap, Of a fenced city a ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, To the age it is not built.
Fa efa nataonao tonga korontam-bato ny tanàna; Ny tanàna mimanda dia rava tokoa; Ny lapan’ ny fahavalo dia nataonao tsy vanon-ko tanàna; Tsy hatsangana intsony mandrakizay iny;
3 Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the terrible nations feareth Thee.
Ka dia hankalaza Anao ny firenena masiaka, Hatahotra Anao ny tanànan’ ny firenena lozabe.
4 For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm — a wall.
Fa fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny reraka Hianao, eny, fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny malahelo amin’ ny fahoriany, fierena amin’ ny ranonoram-baratra, fialokalofana amin’ ny hainandro, fa ny rivotry ny mahery dia tahaka ny ranonorana mifafy mamely ny ampiantany.
5 As heat in a dry place, The noise of strangers Thou humblest, Heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of the terrible is humbled.
Tahaka ny fandresinao ny hainandro izay mamely ny tany karankaina no andresenao ny fitabataban’ ny firenena hafa; Eny, tahaka ny amin’ ny hainandro resin’ ny aloky ny rahona matevina no andresena ny fanakoran’ ny olon-dozabe.
6 And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined.
Ary Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia hanao fanasana ho an’ ny firenena rehetra eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, dia fanasana amin’ ny zavatra matavy, fanasana amin’ ny divay efa niotrika ela, zavatra matavy be tsoka, divay efa niotrika ela sady voadio tsara.
7 And swallowed up hath He in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations.
Ary hofoanany eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, ny sarona izay manarona ny olona rehetra sy ny rakotra izay arakotra ny firenena rehetra.
8 He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Hofoanany tsy hisy mandrakizay ny fahafatesana; Ary Jehovah Tompo hamafa ny ranomaso amin’ ny tava rehetra sady hanafa-tondromaso ny olony eny amin’ ny tany rehetra, fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
9 And [one] hath said in that day, 'Lo, this [is] our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This [is] Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'
Ary holazaina amin’ izany andro izany hoe: Indro Andriamanitsika, izay nandrasantsika hamonjy antsika; Indro Jehovah, Izay nandrasan-tsika, koa dia aoka ho faly sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny isika.
10 For rest doth the hand of Jehovah on this mountain, And trodden down is Moab under Him, As trodden down is straw on a dunghill.
Fa hipetraka amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity ny tànan’ i Jehovah, ary Moaba hohosihosena ao amin’ izay itoerany, dia tahaka ny fanosihosena ny mololo miavosa amin’ ny rano ao am-pahitra;
11 And he spread out his hands in its midst, As spread out doth the swimmer to swim; And He hath humbled his excellency With the machinations of his hands.
Ary ireo dia hamelatra ny tanany eo ampovoan’ izany, tahaka ny famelatry ny mpilomano ny tanany raha milomano; Fa Jehovah kosa hampietry ny fiavonavonany, na dia kanto aza ny fahamailamailaky ny tànany.
12 And the fortress of the high place of thy walls He hath bowed down — He hath made low, He hath caused [it] to come to the earth, — unto dust.
Ary ny mandanao mafy sy avo dia harodany ka haetriny sy hofongorany hatramin’ ny tany, dia hatramin’ ny vovoka.
