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, saith Yahweh, to his Anointed, to Cyrus—Whose right hand I have firmly grasped To subdue before him, nations, And the loins of kings, will I ungird, —To open, before him, the two-leaved doors, And, the gates, shall not be shut:
2 Handroso eo alohanao Aho ary handravona ny mikitoantoana sy hanorotoro ny varavarana varahina ary hanapatapaka ny hidy vy;
I, before thee, will go, And the hills, will I level—The doors of bronze, will I break in pieces, And the bars of iron, will I cut asunder;
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.
Then will I give thee The treasures of darkness, Even the hoards of hidden places, —That thou mayest get to know That I—Yahweh, who am calling thee by thy 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, Even Israel my chosen Therefore have I called unto thee by thy name, I give thee a title though thou hast 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,
I, am Yahweh, and there is none else, Besides me, there is no God, —I gird thee, though thou hast 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 men may get to know. From the rising of the sun And from the west. That there is none besides me, —I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
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.
Forming light and creating darkness, Making prosperity, and creating misfortune, —I—Yahweh, who doeth all these.
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 drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness, —Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit—deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I—Yahweh, have created it.
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?
Alas for him who contendeth with his Fashioner, —A potsherd, [should contend] with the potsherds of the ground! Shall it be said by the clay, unto him that is fashioning it, What wouldst thou make? Or, thy work say, of thee, He hath no hands?
10 Lozan’ izay miteny amin-drainy hoe: Inona no aterakao? Na amin-dreniny hoe: Inona no aloaky ny kibonao?
Alas, for one who saith to a father, What begettest thou? Or to a woman What dost thou bring 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.
Thus, saith, Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would 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, made the earth, And man upon it, I created, —I—mine own hands, stretched out the heavens, And all their host, I commanded:
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 roused him up in righteousness, And all his roads, will I level, —He, shall build my city, And my captives, shall he let go, Not for price, nor for bribe, Saith Yahweh 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, saith Yahweh—The produce of Egypt and the gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of great stature, Unto thee, shall come over, And thine, shall they become, After thee, shall they journey, In chains, shall they come over, —And unto thee, shall they bow down Unto thee, shall they pray [saying], —Surely, in thee, is a GOD And there is none else—no, God!
15 Marina tokoa fa Hianao dia Andriamanitra miafina, ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sady Mpamonjy ô.
Surely, thou, art a GOD utterly hiding thyself, —O God of Israel, able to save!
16 Ho menatra sy hangaihay izy rehetra; eny, handeha aman-kenatra avokoa ny mpamorona sarin-javatra,
They have turned pale and even been put to shame, all of them, —Together have they gone into disgrace, have the makers of images:
17 Fa ny Isiraely kosa ho voavonjin’ i Jehovah Amin’ ny famonjena mandrakizay; tsy ho menatra na hangaihay mandrakizay mandrakizay ianareo.
Israel, hath been delivered by Yahweh, with an age-abiding deliverance, —Ye shall neither turn pale nor he put to shame, unto the ages of futurity,
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.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Who created the heavens God himself! Who fashioned the earth—And made it Himself, established it, …Not a waste, created he it To be dwelt in, he fashioned it, …I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
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.
Not in secret, have I spoken In a place of the earth that is dark, —I have not said unto the seed of Jacob, In a waste, seek ye me, —I, am Yahweh, Speaking the thing that is right, Declaring the things that are just.
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 Draw near together, ye escaped of the nations, —They know not Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray unto a GOD who cannot 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.
Tell ye—and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together, —Who let this be known aforetime. In time past, declared it? Was it not, I—Yahweh? And there is none else that is God besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides me!
22 Mijere Ahy, dia ho voavonjy ianareo, ry vazan-tany rehetra! Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa.
Turn unto me—and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth, —For, I, am GOD, and there is none else.
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, have I sworn, Gone forth out of my mouth, is righteousness as a decree And shall not turn back, —That, unto myself, Shall bow every knee, Shall swear every tongue:
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.
Only in Yahweh—for me, Hath one said, Is there righteousness and strength, Unto him, shall come and turn pale—All who have been incensed against him:
25 Ao amin’ i Jehovah no hanamarinana ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra sy hananany rehareha.
In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves—All the seed of Israel.
