< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
Ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah Tompo no ato amiko, satria Jehovah efa nanosotra Ahy hitory teny soa mahafaly amin’ ny mpandefitra, efa naniraka Ahy hahasitrana ny torotoro fo Izy, ary hitory fanafahana amin’ ny babo sy hamoaka ny ao an-trano-maizina ho amin’ ny mazava,
2 To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
Hitory taona ankasitrahan’ i Jehovah sy andro famalian’ Andriamanitsika, hampionona ny malahelo rehetra,
3 To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, 'Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah — to be beautified.'
Hanolotra ho an’ ny malahelo ao Ziona, eny, hanome azy namama ho solon’ ny lavenona, sy diloilo fifaliana ho solon’ ny fahalahelovana, ary fitafiana fiderana ho solon’ ny fanahy reradreraka, mba hanaovana azy hoe Hazon’ ny fahamarinana, nambolen’ i Jehovah ho fampisehoam-boninahitra.
4 And they have built the wastes of old, The desolations of the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
Koa hatsangana ny efa rava hatry ny fony fahagola, ary hamboarina ny efa lao hatramin’ ny fahiny, dia hohavaozina indray ny tanàna rava, Izay efa lao hatramin’ ny taranaka lasa ela.
5 And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.
Ary ny vahiny honina ao ka hiandry ny ondry aman’ osinareo, ary ny hafa firenena ho mpiasa tany sy ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka ho anareo,
6 And ye are called 'Priests of Jehovah,' 'Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.
Fa ianareo kosa no hatao hoe mpisoron’ i Jehovah, Mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho an’ Andriamanitsika no hilazana anareo ho lasanareo ny haren’ ny firenena, ary handimby voninahitra azy ianareo.
7 Instead of your shame and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for them.
Ny henatrareo hosoloana avy roa heny, ary ny tondromaso hosoloana hoby amin’ ny anjara-lovany; ary noho izany dia hahazo indroa heny ao amin’ ny taniny izy, fifaliana mandrakizay no ho azy.
8 For I [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a covenant age-during I make for them.
Fa Izaho Jehovah dia tia rariny; halako ny fandrombahana amin’ ny faharatsiana; homeko ny valin’ asany amin’ ny fahamarinana izy, ary fanekena mandrakizay no hataoko aminy.
9 And known among nations hath been their seed, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah hath blessed.
Ny taranany ho fantatra any amin’ ny jentilisa ary ny terany any amin’ ny firenena; Izay rehetra mahita azy dia hahafantatra azy ho taranaka notahin’ i Jehovah.
10 I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.
Hifaly dia hifaly amin’ i Jehovah aho, ny fanahiko ho ravoravo amin’ Andriamanitro; fa notafiany fitafiana famonjena aho, ary nakanjoiny akanjo fahamarinana, toy ny mpampakatra misatroka hamama tahaka ny mpisorona, ary toy ny ampakarina miravaka ny firàvany.
11 For, as the earth bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
Fa tahaka ny tany mampitsimoka izay ao aminy, ary tahaka ny tanimboly mampaniry izay nafafy tao aminy, dia toy izany no hampisehoan’ i Jehovah Tompo fahamarinana sy fiderana eo anatrehan’ ny firenena rehetra.
