Isaiah 26
1 In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: 'We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hohiraina eto amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda izao fihirana izao: Manana tanàna mafy isika; Famonjena no hotendren’ i Jehovah ho manda sy fiarovana.
2 Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
Vohay ny vavahady, mba hidiran’ ny firenena marina, izay mitana ny fahamarinana.
3 An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace — peace! For in Thee it is confident.
Ny saina tsy miovaova dia harovanao ao amin’ ny fiadanana tanteraka, satria matoky Anao izy.
4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,
Matokia an’ i Jehovah mandrakizay, fa Jehovah Tompo no Vatolampy mandrakizay.
5 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,
Fa naetriny ny mponina avo toerana; Ny tanàna avo dia arodany, eny, arodany ho amin’ ny tany ka: azerany ho amin’ ny vovoka.
6 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor — steps of the weak.
Hitsahin’ ny tongotra izy, dia ny tongotry ny ory sy ny faladian’ ny mahantra.
7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
Voaravona ny lalan’ ny marina: Eny, aravonao ho marina indrindra ny alehan’ ny marina.
8 Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.
Koa amin’ ny lalan’ ny fitsaranao, Jehovah ô, no iandrasanay Anao, ny anaranao sy ny fahatsiarovana Anao no irin’ ny fanahinay.
9 [With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
Amin’ ny fanahiko no aniriako Anao nony alina; Eny, ny saiko ato anatiko no itadiavako Anao fatratra; Fa raha mamely ny tany ny fitsaranao, dia mianatra fahamarinana ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.
Na dia asiana soa aza ny ratsy fanahy, tsy mety mianatra fahamarinana izy; Eny, na dia ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahamarinana aza izy, mbola manao meloka ihany ka tsy mety mijery ny fahalehibiazan’ i Jehovah.
11 O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand — they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire — Thine adversaries, consumeth them.
Jehovah ô, avo ny tananao, nefa tsy jeren’ ireo; Tsy maintsy hojereny ihany anefa ny fahasaro-piaronao amin’ ny olonao, ka ho menatra izy; Eny, afo no handevona ny fahavalonao.
12 O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
Jehovah ô, manorina fiadanana ho anay Hianao: Fa ny asanay rehetra dia tanterahinao ho anay.
13 O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, tsy Hianao ihany no efa nampanompo anay, fa tompo hafa koa; Nefa Hianao irery ihany no ahazoanay mankalaza ny anaranao.
14 Dead — they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
Ny maty tsy ho velona intsony, ny matoatoa tsy mba hitsangana; Fa novalianao izy ka naringanao, sady nolevoninao avokoa ny fahatsiarovana azy.
15 Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
Nampitombo ny firenena Hianao, Jehovah ô, Eny, nampitombo ny firenena Hianao ka nahazo voninahitra ho Anao; Nitarinao halalaka avokoa ny faritry ny tany.
16 O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
Jehovah ô, nony azom-pahoriana izy, dia nitady Anao; Nony niharan’ ny famaizanao izy, dia nanao vavaka anakampo.
17 When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained — she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.
Tahaka izay bevohoka efa madiva hiteraka ka miolanolana sy mitaraina noho ny faharariany, dia tahaka izany izahay teo imasonao, Jehovah ô,
18 We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
Efa bevohoka izahay, efa nihetsi-jaza izahay, Efa tahaka ny nitera-drivotra izahay; Tsy nahavita famonjena ho an’ ny tany izahay, ka tsy niteraka ny mponina amin’ izao tontolo izao.
19 'Thy dead live — My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
Ho velona indray ny olonao izay efa maty, ny fatin’ ny oloko hitsangana; Koa mifohaza sy mihobia, ianareo izay mandry ao amin’ ny vovoka; Fa ny andonao dia tahaka ny andon’ ny fahazavana, ary ny tany hiteraka ny maty.
20 Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.
Mandehana, ry oloko, midìra ao amin’ ny efi-tranonao, ary mirindrina varavarana ianao, ka miere kely indray mipi-maso monja Mandra-pahalasan’ ny fahatezerana.
21 For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'
Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy amin’ ny fitoerany hamaly ny mponina amin’ ny tany noho ny helony; Ary ny tany hampiseho ny rà izay nofohiny ka tsy hanafina intsony izay novonoina teo aminy.
