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 take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
2 Tsy hiantsoantso Izy, na hanandratra ny feony, na hanao izay handrenesana ny feony eny an-dalana.
He does 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 He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
4 Tsy ho reraka na ho kivy Izy, Mandra-panoriny ny rariny amin’ ny tany, ary ny nosy hiandry ny lalàny.
He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope 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 said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
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, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of 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 eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
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] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved 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.
The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
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 a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
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.
The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
12 Aoka hanome voninahitra an’ i Jehovah izy Ary hitory ny fiderana Azy any amin’ ny nosy.
They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they 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.
YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows 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 kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up together.
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 make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
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 have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I 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.
Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
18 Mihainoa ianareo, ry marenina; Ary mijere, ry jamba, mba hahita.
You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to 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? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
20 Mahita zavatra maro ianao, nefa tsy mitandrina; Manongilana ny sofiny izy, nefa tsy mihaino.
Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
21 Sitrak’ i Jehovah noho ny fahamarinany ny hahalehibe ny lalàna sy ny hahabe voninahitra azy.
YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
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.
And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
23 Iza aminareo no hihaino iza-ny? Iza no handre, dia hitandrina izany amin’ ny andro ho avy?
Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
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 has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened 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 pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
