Isaia 48
1 Mihainoa, ry taranak’ i Jakoba, dia ianareo izay antsoina amin’ ny anaran’ Isiraely sy avy amin’ ny loharanon’ i Joda, ianareo izay mianiana amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah ary mankalaza ny anaran’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, kanefa tsy araka ny marina, na araka ny hitsiny;
Hear yee this, O house of Iaakob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of the waters of Iudah: which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousnesse.
2 Fa milaza ny tenany ho avy amin’ ny tanana masìna izy ka miankina amin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany.
For they are called of the holy citie, and staie themselues vpon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
3 Ny zavatra taloha dia efa voalazako hatramin’ ny fahiny, ary naloaky ny vavako izany sady nambarako; Tampoka no nanaovako izany, ary tonga izany.
I haue declared ye former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.
4 Satria fantatro fa maditra ianao, ka ozaby ny hatokao, ary varahina ny handrinao,
Because I knewe, that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse,
5 Dia nambarako taminao hatramin’ ny fahiny izany, eny, fony tsy mbola tonga aza izany, dia efa nambarako taminao rahateo, fandrao hataonao hoe: Ny sampiko no nanao izany, ary ny sarin-javatra voasokitra sy ny sarin-javatra an-idina no nandidy izany.
Therefore I haue declared it to thee of old: before it came to passe, I shewed it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my carued image, and my molten image hath commanded them.
6 Efa renao, ka dia jereo izany rehetra izany, moa ianareo tsy hanambara izany va? Mampandre anao zava-baovao kosa Aho hatramin’ izao, dia zavatra miafina izay tsy fantatrao.
Thou hast heard, behold all this, and wil not yee declare it? I haue shewed thee newe things, euen now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.
7 Vao izao no namoronana azy, fa tsy hatramin’ ny fahiny, ary tsy mbola nandre azy ianao talohan’ ny andro anio, fandrao ianao hanao hoe: Indro, ny efa fantatro ihany izany.
They are created now, and not of olde, and euen before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Beholde, I knewe them.
8 Fa tsy nandre na nahalala ianao; Eny, hatramin’ ny fahiny aza no tsy mbola nisokatra ny sofinao; fa fantatro fa tena mpivadika ianao sady natao hoe mpiodina hatrany an-kibo.
Yet thou heardest them not, neither diddest know them, neither yet was thine eare opened of olde: for I knewe that thou wouldest grieuously transgresse: therefore haue I called thee a transgressour from the wombe.
9 Noho ny anarako dia ononiko ny fahatezerako, ary mba hiderana ahy dia manindry fo aminao Aho, mba tsy hamongorana anao.
For my Names sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise will I refraine it from thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Indro, nodioviko ianao, nefa tsy toy ny volafotsy; Efa nizaha toetra anao tao amin’ ny memy fahoriana Aho.
Behold, I haue fined thee, but not as siluer: I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.
11 Noho ny tenako, eny, noho ny tenako ihany no anaovako izany; indrisy, lotoina ny anarako! Ary ny voninahitro tsy homeko ny hafa.
For mine owne sake, for mine owne sake wil I doe it: for how should my Name be polluted? surely I wil not giue my glory vnto another.
12 Mihainoa Ahy, ry Jakoba, sy y Isiraely izay nantsoiko: Tsy miova Aho; Izaho no voalohany, ary Izaho koa no farany.
Heare me, O Iaakob and Israel, my called, I am, I am the first, and I am the last.
13 Eny, ny tanako no nanorina ny fanambanin’ ny tany, ary ny tanako ankavanana no namelatra ny lanitra; Raha antsoiko ireo, dia indray miseho avokoa.
Surely mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heaues: when I cal them, they stand vp together.
14 Mivoria ianareo rehetra, ka mihainoa: Iza moa amin’ ireny no mba efa nanambara izany; ilay tian’ i Jehovah no hahefa ny sitrapony amin’ i Babylona ary ny sandriny ho amin’ ny Kaldeana.
All you, assemble your selues, and heare: which among them hath declared these thinges? The Lord hath loued him: he wil doe his will in Babel, and his arme shalbe against the Chaldeans.
15 Izaho dia Izaho ihany no miteny sady miantso azy, nitondra azy Aho, ka hambinina ny lalany.
I, euen I haue spoken it, and I haue called him: I haue brought him, and his way shall prosper.
16 Manatona Ahy ianareo, ka mihainoa; hatramin’ ny taloha no efa tsy nitenenako tamin’ ny mangingina, hatry ny fony vao nisian’ ireo dia teo Aho, ary ankehitriny Jehovah Tompo no naniraka Ahy sy ny Fanahiny.
Come neere vnto me: heare ye this: I haue not spoken it in secret from the beginning: from the time that the thing was, I was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath sent me.
17 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Mpanavotra anao, dia ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely: Izaho, Jehovah Andriamanitrao, no nampianatra anao hahita soa sady mitarika anao amin’ ny lalana tokony halehanao.
Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee to profite, and lead thee by the way, that thou shouldest goe.
18 Toy izay anie ianao mba nihaino ny didiko! Dia ho tonga tahaka ny ony ny fiadananao, ary ho tahaka ny onjan-dranomasina ny fahamarinanao,
Oh that thou haddest hearkened to my commandements! then had thy prosperitie bene as the floude, and thy righteousnesse as the waues of the sea.
19 Ary ho tahaka ny fasika ny taranakao, ary ny aloaky ny kibonao ho tahaka ny sombim-pasika; Ny anarany tsy ho tapaka na ho foana eo anatrehako.
Thy seede also had beene as the sande, and the fruite of thy body like the grauell thereof: his name should not haue bene cut off nor destroied before me.
20 Mivoaha hiala any Babylona; miezaha avy any amin’ ny Kaldeana; torio amin’ ny feo mahafaly, ary ambarao, ka aelezo hatrany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany, lazao hoe: Jehovah efa nanavotra an’ i Jakoba mpanompony.
Goe yee out of Babel: flee yee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of ioy: tel and declare this: shewe it foorth to the ende of the earth: say yee, The Lord hath redeemed his seruant Iaakob.
21 Ary tsy nangetaheta ireo tamin’ ny nitondrany azy tany an-efitra; Nampiboiboika rano ho azy avy tamin’ ny vatolampy Izy, Eny, nampitresaka ny vatolampy Izy, ka dia nigororoana ny rano.
And they were not thirstie: hee led them through the wildernesse: hee caused the waters to flowe out of the rocke for them: for he claue the rocke, and the water gushed out.
22 Tsy misy fiadanana ho an’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah.
There is no peace, sayeth the Lord, vnto the wicked.
