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.
Amy andro zay le ho takasieñe e Iehodà ao ty sabo toy: Manan-drova maozatse tika; tinendre’e ho fandrombahañe o kijoly naho fikalañañeo.
2 Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
Sokafo o lalam-beio, himoaha’ i fifeheañe vantañe mpitàm-patokisañey.
3 An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace — peace! For in Thee it is confident.
Hambena’o am-pierañerañan-to, ze amam-pitsakoreañe mifahatse ama’o, amy t’ie miato ama’o.
4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,
Iatò nainai’e t’Iehovà, amy te lamilamy tsy mb’ia ho modo t’Iehovà, Ià.
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 nakapotra’e o mpimoneñe an-kaboañeo, linama’e ambane’ i rova miligiligiy, nilamahe’e an-tane eo, eka, mb’an-deboke ao.
6 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor — steps of the weak.
Ho lian-tomboke, ty fandia’ o mpisotrio, ty fidraidraita’ o boròkao.
7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
Lalañe mira ho amo vañoñeo izay ihe, ry Andindimoneñe, ro mañajary ty lala’ o vantañeo.
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.
Toe an-dala’ o fizaka’oo ry Iehovà, ty nitamà’ay Azo; i tahina’oy naho ty fitiahiañe Azo ro fisalalàn’arofo’ay.
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.
Nirie’ ty fiaiko irehe te haleñe; eka, nitsoek’azo an-troko ato; amy te, ie ifetsaha’ o fizaka’oo ty tane toy, le hioke havantañañe ondatio.
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.
Ndra te isoheñe o lo tserekeo, tsy ho hai’e o havañonañeo; fa hikitro-karatiañe an-tanen-kavantañañe ao, vaho tsy ho oni’e ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
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.
Mionjoñe añ’abo ey ty fità’o, ry Iehovà, f’ie tsy isa’ iareo; zoe’ iareo an-kasalarañe ty fahimbaña’o am’ ondatio; eka, ho forototoen-afo o rafelahi’oo.
12 O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
Ry Iehovà, toloro fierañerañan-jahay; fa toe Ihe ro nanao ze hene fitoloña’ay.
13 O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, fa nifehèn-drotompo ila’ te ama’o zahay, f’Ihe avao ty toñone’ay tahinañe.
14 Dead — they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
Tsy ho veloñe o mateo, tsy hitroatse o loloo; izay ty namara’o naho nandrotsaha’o iareo vaho fonga nimodoe’o ty fitiahiañe iareo.
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.
Nonjoneñe amo kilakila ondatio irehe, ry Iehovà, eka nitoabotse amo kila taneo; iasiañe pak’ añ’olotse tsietoimone’ ty tane toy añe.
16 O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
Ry Iehovà, ie niampoheke te nipaia’ iareo Azo, ampianjiñeñe ty nampidoandoaña’ iareo halaly ama’o ty amy fandilova’o iareoy.
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.
Manahake ty rakemba mitsongo, ie mitotoke ty hisamaha’e, ie manaintaiñe vaho mikoaike amo fitsongoa’eo; hoe izay zahay ry Iehovà tañ’atrefa’o eo.
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.
Toe nivesatse zahay, nangotsokotsoke, fe hoe tioke avao ty naboloa’ay; tsy nañeneke famotsorañe amy taney; mbore tsy nahatoly ondaty ho mpimone’ ty tane toy.
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 veloñe o nivetrake ama’oo, hitroatse i sandriko nihomakey, mivañona naho misaboa ry mpitoboke an-deboke ao, fa zono maraindray o zono’oo, vaho haboloa’ i taney o niloloo.
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.
Antao ry ondatiko, mihovà añ’anjomba’o ao, arindrino o lalañe amboho’oo mietaha hey ampara’ te heneke i fifomboañey.
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!'
Heheke! miakatse i toe’ey t’Iehovà handilo o mpimoneñ’ an-tane atoio ty amo hakeo’eo; haboa’ i taney ty lio niorike ama’e, vaho tsy ho lembefa’e ka o vinono’eo.
