Isaia 43

1 Fa ankehitriny, ry Jakoba ô, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nahary anao sady namorona anao, ry Isiraely ô: Aza matahotra ianao, fa efa nanavotra anao Aho; Efa niantso ny anaranao Aho, Ahy ianao.

And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] Mine.

2 Raha mita ny rano ianao, dia homba anao Aho; Ary raha mita ny ony ianao, dia tsy hanafotra anao izy; Raha mandeha mamaky ny afo ianao, dia tsy ho may, Ary tsy hirehitra aminao ny lelafo;

When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.

3 Fa Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrao, Dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, Mpamonjy anao; Omeko ho avotrao Egypta, ary Etiopia sy Seba ho solonao.

For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.

4 Satria malala eo imasoko ianao, eny, be voninahitra ianao sady tiako, dia olona no omeko ho solonao, ary firenena ho solon’ ny ainao.

Since you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.

5 Aza mahatahotra, fa momba anao Aho; Hitondra ny taranakao avy any atsinanana Aho, ary avy any andrefana no hanangonako anao;

Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.

6 Ny avaratra hilazako hoe: Avoahy, ary ny atsimo hoe: Aza hazonina; Alao ny zanako-lahy avy lavitra sy ny zanako-vavy avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany,

I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

7 Dia izay rehetra antsoina amin’ ny anarako sady nohariko ho voninahitro, dia izay noforoniko sy nataoko.

Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.

8 Ento mivoaka ny olona jamba mana-maso sy ny marenina manan-tsofina.

He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

9 Aoka hiangona ny firenena rehetra, Ary aoka hivory ny olombelona; Iza aminareo no mahalaza izany? Aoka hambarany amintsika ny fahiny taloha; Aoka ho entiny ny vavolombelony hahamarina azy; Ary aoka hihaino ireo ka hiaiky hoe: Marina izany.

All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “Truth.”

10 Hianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, sady mpanompoko izay efa nofidiko, Mba hahafantaranareo sy hinoanareo Ahy ka ho azonareo tsara fa Izaho no Izy; Talohako dia tsy nisy andriamanitra voaforona, sady tsy hisy handimby Ahy.

You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

11 Izaho dia Izaho ihany no Jehovah Ary tsy misy Mpamonjy afa-tsy Izaho.

I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.

12 Izaho efa nilaza sy namonjy ary nanambara, ary tsy nisy hafa tao aminareo; Dia ianareo no vavolombeloko, hoy Jehovah, ary Izaho no Andriamanitra.

I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.

13 Eny, hatramin’ izary andro izany Izaho no Izy, Ary tsy misy maharombaka amin’ ny tanako; Miasa Aho, ka iza moa no mahasakana izany?

Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?

14 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Mpanavotra anareo, dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Noho ny aminareo no nanirahako tany Babylona, ary hampidiniko izy rehetra mbamin’ ny Kaldeana ho mpandositra ho any amin’ ny sambo izay efa nifaliany.

Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.

15 Izaho no Jehovah, Iray Masinareo, Mpamorona ny Isiraely sady Mpanjakanareo.

I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”

16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay manao lalana eny amin’ ny ranomasina sy lalan-kaleha eny amin’ ny rano manonja,

Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.

17 Izay mamoaka ny kalesy sy ny soavaly, ny miaramila sy ny lehilahy miara-mandry avokoa izy ka tsy hiarina intsony, mitsilopilopy izy, ka dia maty toy ny jiro:

Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”

18 Aza mahatsiaro ny lasa, na misaina ny taloha.

Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.

19 Indro, Izaho efa hanao zava-baovao, koa ankehitriny dia efa miposaka izany tsy hahalala izany va ianareo? eny, any an-efitra no hanaovako lalana ary any amin’ ny tany sao no hasiako ony;

Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.

20 Dia hanome voninahitra Ahy ny bibi-dia sy ny amboadia ary ny ostritsa, satria manisy rano any an-efitra sy ony any amin’ ny tany lao Aho, Hampisotroana ny oloko, dia ilay voafidiko.

The beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.

21 Izao olona noforoniko ho Ahy izao no hanambara ny fiderana Ahy.

I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.

22 Nefa Izaho tsy mba nantsoinao, ry Jakoba; Fa sasatra amiko ianao, ry Isiraely.

And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,

23 Tsy nitondranao ny zanak’ ondry fanatitra doranao Aho, na nomenao voninahitra tamin’ ny fanatitrao. Tsy nampahavesatra anao tamin’ ny fanatitra Aho, na nanasatra anao tamin’ ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona.

You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.

24 Tsy nandoa vola namidy veromanitra ho Ahy ianao, na nahavoky Ahy tamin’ ny saboran’ ny fanatitrao; Fa nampahavesatra Ahy tamin’ ny fahotanao kosa ianao sy nanasatra Ahy tamin’ ny helokao.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.

25 Izaho dia Izaho no mamono ny fahadisoanao noho ny amin’ ny tenako, ary tsy hotsarovako ny fahotanao.

I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.

26 Ampahatsiarovy Aho, ka avia isika hifandahatra; Alaharo ary ny teninao, mba hahitana izay mahamarina anao.

Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.

27 Ny razambenao voalohany indrindra dia efa nanota, ary ireny mpanalalana aminao efa niodina tamiko,

Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,

28 Koa izany no nanaovako ny mpanapaka masìna ho tsy masìna, sy nanolorako an’ i Jakoba ho fandringana ary Isiraely ho latsa.

And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
