Isaia 45
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ny voahosony, dia Kyrosy, izay notantanako tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana, mba handreseko firenena eo anoloany sy hamahako ny fehin-kibon’ ny mpanjaka, mba hamohako varavarana eo anoloany, ka tsy hirindrina intsony ny vavahady:
Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
2 Handroso eo alohanao Aho ary handravona ny mikitoantoana sy hanorotoro ny varavarana varahina ary hanapatapaka ny hidy vy;
I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
3 Dia homeko anao ny rakitra ao amin’ ny maizina sy ny harena nafenina ao amin’ ny mangingina, mba hahafantaranao fa Izaho no Jehovah Izay miantso anao amin’ ny anaranao, dia Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
4 Noho ny amin’ i Jakoba mpanompoko sy Isiraely voafidiko no niantsoako anao tamin’ ny anaranao sy nanomezako anarana malaza ho anao, na dia tsy nahafantatra Ahy aza ianao.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
5 Izaho no Jehovah, fa tsy misy hafa: Tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho; Izaho efa nampisikina anao, kanefa tsy nahafantatra Ahy ianao,
For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
6 Mba hahafantarana hatrany amin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro ka hatrany amin’ ny filentehany fa tsy misy afa-tsy Izaho: Izaho no Jehovah, fa tsy misy hafa,
That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
7 Dia Izaho Izay mamorona ny mazava sy mahary ny maizina, manao ny fiadanana sy mahary ny loza; Izaho Jehovah no manao izany rehetra izany.
I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
8 Manateteva avy any ambony, ry lanitra, ary aoka ny habakabaka hampilatsaka fahamarinana; Aoka ny tany hisosatra, Ary aoka ho vokatra avy amin’ ireo ny famonjena; Ary aoka hitsimoka miaraka amin’ izay ny fahamarinana. Izaho Jehovah no efa nahatonga izany.
Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
9 Lozan’ izay miady amin’ ny namorona azy! Tavim-bilany isan’ ny tavim-bilany amin’ ny tany ihany ireny! Ny tanimanga va hilaza amin’ ny mpanefy azy hoe: Inona no ataonao? Na ny asanao va hanao hoe: Tsy manan-tanana izy?
What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
10 Lozan’ izay miteny amin-drainy hoe: Inona no aterakao? Na amin-dreniny hoe: Inona no aloaky ny kibonao?
As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
11 Izao no lazan’ i Jehovah ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, dia ny namorona azy: Ny amin’ ny zavatra ho avy no anontanio Ahy; ary ny zanako sy ny asan’ ny tanako dia aoka ho adidiko ihany.
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
12 Izaho no nanao ny tany sy nahary ny olona eo amboniny; ny tanako ihany no namelatra ny lanitra sy nandahatra ny eny aminy rehetra.
I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
13 Izaho no nanaitra azy io tamin’ ny fahamarinana, ary ny lalany rehetra dia haravoko avokoa; izy no hanao ny tanànako, ary ny oloko voababo dia halefany, nefa tsy amim-bola amin-karena, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
14 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah; Ny vokatry ny fisasaran’ i Egypta sy ny tombom-barotr’ i Etiopia sy ny Sabeana, olona lava tsanganana, hafindra ao aminao, ka ho anao izany; ary hanaraka anao ireo; avy aman-gadra izy ary hiankohoka handady eo anatrehanao, dia hifona aminao hoe: Ato aminao tokoa Andriamanitra; ary tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izy ihany.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
15 Marina tokoa fa Hianao dia Andriamanitra miafina, ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sady Mpamonjy ô.
For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Ho menatra sy hangaihay izy rehetra; eny, handeha aman-kenatra avokoa ny mpamorona sarin-javatra,
All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
17 Fa ny Isiraely kosa ho voavonjin’ i Jehovah Amin’ ny famonjena mandrakizay; tsy ho menatra na hangaihay mandrakizay mandrakizay ianareo.
Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
18 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay nahary ny lanitra (Izy no Andriamanitra) sady namorona ny tany sy nahavita azy (Izy no nandamina azy; tsy ho tany tsy misy endrika tsy akory no namoronany azy, fa nataony honenana): Izaho no Jehovah, ary tsy misy hafa.
Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
19 Tsy tao amin’ ny mangingina, dia tao amin’ ny fitoera-maizina amin’ ny tany no nitenenako; Izaho tsy niantso ny taranak’ i Jakoba hitady Ahy foana; Izaho Jehovah no miteny ny marina sy manambara ny mahitsy.
I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
20 Mivoria, ka avia, ary miaraha manatona, ianareo jentilisa sisa afaka. Tsy manam-pahalalana izay mitondra ny hazo nataony sarin-javatra voasokitra ka mivavaka amin’ izay andriamanitra tsy mahavonjy.
Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
21 Alaharo, ka asehoy mazava; Eny, aoka hiara-misaina izy: Iza no efa nanambara izany hatrizay hatrizay? Iza no efa nilaza izany hatramin’ ny fahiny? Tsy Izaho Jehovah va? Fa tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho, dia Andriamanitra marina sady Mpamonjy; Eny, tsy misy afa-tsy Izaho.
If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
22 Mijere Ahy, dia ho voavonjy ianareo, ry vazan-tany rehetra! Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa.
Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
23 Ny tenako no nianianako, nisy teny efa naloaky ny vavako tamin’ ny fahamarinana ka tsy hitsoaka: Izaho no handohalehan’ ny lohalika rehetra, sy hianianan’ ny lela rehetra hoe:
By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
24 Ao amin’ i Jehovah ihany no misy fahamarinana be sy hery, ka izy ihany no hohatonin’ ny olona, ary ho menatra izay rehetra tezitra aminy.
saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
25 Ao amin’ i Jehovah no hanamarinana ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra sy hananany rehareha.
By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
