Isaia 25
1 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.
Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
2 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;
You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
3 Ka dia hankalaza Anao ny firenena masiaka, Hatahotra Anao ny tanànan’ ny firenena lozabe.
Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
4 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.
But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
5 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.
like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
6 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.
On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
7 Ary hofoanany eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, ny sarona izay manarona ny olona rehetra sy ny rakotra izay arakotra ny firenena rehetra.
On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
8 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.
He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
9 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.
At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
10 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;
The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
11 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.
They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
12 Ary ny mandanao mafy sy avo dia harodany ka haetriny sy hofongorany hatramin’ ny tany, dia hatramin’ ny vovoka.
Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
