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.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in perfect faithfulness.
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 you have made the city a heap, a fortified city, a ruin, and a fortress of strangers into no city.
3 Ka dia hankalaza Anao ny firenena masiaka, Hatahotra Anao ny tanànan’ ny firenena lozabe.
Therefore a strong people will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations will fear 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.
For you have been a place of safety for the one who is poor, a shelter for the one who is needy in his distress— a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. When the breath of the ruthless was like a storm 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.
and like heat in a dry land, you subdued the noise of foreigners, as the heat is subdued by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is answered.
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 Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, of choice wines, of tender meats, a feast on the lees.
7 Ary hofoanany eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity, ny sarona izay manarona ny olona rehetra sy ny rakotra izay arakotra ny firenena rehetra.
He will destroy on this mountain the covering over all peoples, the web woven over all the 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 forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Yahweh has 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.
It will be said on that day, “Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is Yahweh; we have waited for him, 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 on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest; and Moab will be trampled down in his place, even as straw is trampled down in a pit filled with manure.
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 spread their hands in the midst of it, as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim. But Yahweh will bring down their pride in spite of the skill of their hands.
12 Ary ny mandanao mafy sy avo dia harodany ka haetriny sy hofongorany hatramin’ ny tany, dia hatramin’ ny vovoka.
Your high fortress walls he will bring down to the ground, to the dust.
