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, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
2 Tsy hiantsoantso Izy, na hanandratra ny feony, na hanao izay handrenesana ny feony eny an-dalana.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 Tsy hotapahiny ny volotara torotoro, ary tsy hovonoiny ny lahin-jiro manetona; Hamoaka izay tena rariny tokoa Izy.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the 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 fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching.
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 God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
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 righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand, and kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
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.
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, 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 am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
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.
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of 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 unto the LORD a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
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 wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Aoka hanome voninahitra an’ i Jehovah izy Ary hitory ny fiderana Azy any amin’ ny nosy.
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and 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 will go forth as a mighty man, He will stir up jealousy like a man of war; He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty 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 long time held My peace, I have been still, and refrained Myself; now will I cry like a travailing woman, gasping and panting 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 make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the 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 bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
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 shall be turned back, greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images: 'Ye are our gods.'
18 Mihainoa ianareo, ry marenina; Ary mijere, ry jamba, mba hahita.
Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye 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, as My messenger that I send? Who is blind as he that is wholehearted, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20 Mahita zavatra maro ianao, nefa tsy mitandrina; Manongilana ny sofiny izy, nefa tsy mihaino.
Seeing many things, thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
21 Sitrak’ i Jehovah noho ny fahamarinany ny hahalehibe ny lalàna sy ny hahabe voninahitra azy.
The LORD was pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.
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 robbed and spoiled, they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth, for a spoil, and none saith: 'Restore.'
23 Iza aminareo no hihaino iza-ny? Iza no handre, dia hitandrina izany amin’ ny andro ho avy?
Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time 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 gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto 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
Therefore He poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
