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.
O LORD, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name, for Thou hast done wonderful things; even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.
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;
For Thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin; a castle of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built.
3 Ka dia hankalaza Anao ny firenena masiaka, Hatahotra Anao ny tanànan’ ny firenena lozabe.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.
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.
For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the 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.
As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.
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.
And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Ary hofoanany eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, ny sarona izay manarona ny olona rehetra sy ny rakotra izay arakotra ny firenena rehetra.
And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
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 swallow up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for the LORD hath spoken it.
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.
And it shall be said in that day: 'Lo, this is our God, for whom we waited, that He might save us; this is the LORD, for whom we waited, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.'
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;
For in this mountain will the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the dunghill.
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.
And when he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim, his pride shall be brought down together with the cunning of his hands.
12 Ary ny mandanao mafy sy avo dia harodany ka haetriny sy hofongorany hatramin’ ny tany, dia hatramin’ ny vovoka.
And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
