Isaia 42
1 Indro ny Mpanompoko, Izay tantanako, dia Ilay voafidiko sady sitraky ny foko Napetrako tao aminy ny Fanahiko; Hamoaka fitsipika ho an’ ny jentilisa Izy.
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 Tsy hiantsoantso Izy, na hanandratra ny feony, na hanao izay handrenesana ny feony eny an-dalana.
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
3 Tsy hotapahiny ny volotara torotoro, ary tsy hovonoiny ny lahin-jiro manetona; Hamoaka izay tena rariny tokoa Izy.
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 Tsy ho reraka na ho kivy Izy, Mandra-panoriny ny rariny amin’ ny tany, ary ny nosy hiandry ny lalàny.
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, Izay nahary ny lanitra sy nanenjana azy, Izay namelatra ny tany sy ny vokatra avy aminy, Izay manome fofonaina ny olona eo aminy sy fanahy ho an’ izay mandeha eo aminy:
Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
6 Izaho Jehovah efa niantso Anao tamin’ ny fahamarinana sy nitantana ny tananao, Ary hiaro Anao Aho ka hanome Anao ho fanekena ho an’ ny olona, Ho fanazavana ny jentilisa,
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 Hampahiratra ny mason’ ny jamba, hamoaka ny mpifatotra hiala ao an-trano-maizina ary izay mipetraka ao amin’ ny maizina hiala ao an-trano famatorana.
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 Izaho no Jehovah, izany no anarako, ka ny voninahitro tsy homeko ny hafa, na ny fiderana Ahy ho an’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra.
I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Ny amin’ ny zavatra taloha, dia indreo, efa miseho; Ary zava-baovao kosa no toriko izao; Na dia tsy mbola miposaka aza ireny, dia ambarako aminareo.
The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
10 Hianareo izay midìna any amin’ ny ranomasina sy ny ao aminy rehetra, dia ianareo nosy sy ny mponina ao aminy, samia mihira fihiram-baovao ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ny fiderana Azy hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
11 Aoka ny efitra sy ireo tanàna eny aminy hanandratra ny feony, dia ny vohitra izay onenan’ i Kedara; Aoka hihoby ny mponina any Sela; Ary aoka hanao feo avo any an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 Aoka hanome voninahitra an’ i Jehovah izy Ary hitory ny fiderana Azy any amin’ ny nosy.
They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
13 Jehovah mivoaka tahaka ny lehilahy mahery, tahaka ny fanaon’ ny mpiady no amohazany ny fahatezerany; Miantsoantso Izy, eny, mihiaka mafy; Mampiseho hery haharesy ny fahavalony Izy.
The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 Efa tsy niteny Aho hatrizay hatrizay, nangina ihany Aho ka nanindry fo; Fa izao Aho dia mitaraina tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka, eny, miehakehaka tsy avy miaina.
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
15 Hataoto mariry ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana, hataoko maina ny ahitra rehetra ao aminy, ary ny ony ho tonga nosy, Ary hataoko tankina ny farihy.
I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
16 Hitarika ny jamba amin’ izay lalana tsy fantany Aho; ary amin’ ny lalana tsy fantany no hitondrako azy; Ny maizina dia hataoko mazava eo anoloany, ary ny mikitoantoana halamako tsara; Izany zavatra izany no hataoko aminy ka tsy hamelako.
And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17 Hihemotra sady ho menatra tokoa izay matoky ny sarin-javatra voasokitra, dia izay manao amin’ ny sarin-javatra an-idina hoe: Hianareo no andriamanitray.
They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18 Mihainoa ianareo, ry marenina; Ary mijere, ry jamba, mba hahita.
Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19 Iza no jamba, afa-tsy ny mpanompoko? Ary iza no marenina tahaka ny iraka izay irahiko? Iza no jamba tahaka ny sakaizan’ i Jehovah, ary jamba tahaka ny mpanompony?
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20 Mahita zavatra maro ianao, nefa tsy mitandrina; Manongilana ny sofiny izy, nefa tsy mihaino.
Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21 Sitrak’ i Jehovah noho ny fahamarinany ny hahalehibe ny lalàna sy ny hahabe voninahitra azy.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22 Kanefa ity dia firenena nobaboina sy norobaina; Voafandrika ao an-davaka avokoa izy rehetra ary voàfina ao an-trano-maizina; Voababo izy, ka tsy misy mamonjy; Voasambotra izy, ka tsy misy manao hoe: Ampodio.
But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23 Iza aminareo no hihaino iza-ny? Iza no handre, dia hitandrina izany amin’ ny andro ho avy?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24 Iza no nanolotra an’ i Jakoba hosamborina, ary Isiraely ho an’ ny mpamabo? Tsy Jehovah, Izay efa nanotantsika va? Satria tsy nety nandeha tamin’ ny lalany ireo, sady tsy nety nihaino ny lalàny;
Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
25 Ka dia nalatsany taminy ny firehitry ny fahatezerany sy ny halozan’ ny ady; Dia nampirehitra azy manodidina izany nefa tsy fantany; Ary nandoro azy, nefa tsy noheverin’ ny fony
And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
