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 said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:
2 Handroso eo alohanao Aho ary handravona ny mikitoantoana sy hanorotoro ny varavarana varahina ary hanapatapaka ny hidy vy;
'I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron 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.
And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on 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, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And 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] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and 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,
So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, 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 preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing 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.
Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared 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?
Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, 'What dost thou?' And thy work, 'He hath no hands?'
10 Lozan’ izay miteny amin-drainy hoe: Inona no aterakao? Na amin-dreniny hoe: Inona no aloaky ny kibonao?
Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, 'What dost thou beget?' Or to a wife, '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 said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye 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 earth, and man on it prepared, I — My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have 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 stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah 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 said Jehovah, 'The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim — men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee [is] God, And there is none else, no [other] God.
15 Marina tokoa fa Hianao dia Andriamanitra miafina, ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sady Mpamonjy ô.
Surely Thou [art] a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel — Saviour!
16 Ho menatra sy hangaihay izy rehetra; eny, handeha aman-kenatra avokoa ny mpamorona sarin-javatra,
They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed — all of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving 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 saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!
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 said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it — not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: 'I [am] Jehovah, 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 dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
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.
Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god [that] saveth not.
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.
Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I — Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
22 Mijere Ahy, dia ho voavonjy ianareo, ry vazan-tany rehetra! Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa.
Turn to Me, and be saved, all 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 I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.
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 Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.
25 Ao amin’ i Jehovah no hanamarinana ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra sy hananany rehareha.
In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.'
