Isaia 50
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aiza izay taratasy fisaoram-bady nisaorako an-dreninareo? Ary iza amin’ izay manan-trosa amiko no nivarotako anareo? Tsia, fa noho ny helokareo ihany no nivarotana anareo, ary noho ny fahadisoanareo ihany no nisaorana an-dreninareo.
This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
2 Nahoana no tsy nisy olona, fony tonga Aho, ary tsy nisy namaly, fony niantso Aho? Moa fohy tokoa va ny tanako ka tsy mahavonjy, ary moa tsy manan-kery ho enti-manafaka va Aho? Indro, amin’ ny teny mafy ataoko no andritako ny ranomasina sy anaovako ny ony ho efitra; ary maimbo ny hazandranony noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny rano sady matin-ketaheta.
When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
3 Tafiako fahamaintisana ny lanitra, ary lamba fisaonana no ataoko fisaronany.
I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
4 Jehovah Tompo nanome Ahy ny lelan’ ny efa mahay, mba hahaizako manao teny hampahatanjaka izay reraka; ampandrenesiny isa-maraina isa-maraina, eny, ampandrenesiny ny sofiko hihaino tahaka ny efa mahay
The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
5 Jehovah Tompo nanokatra ny sofiko, ary Izaho tsy naditra na nihemotra.
The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
6 Ny lamosiko natolotro ho amin’ ny mpikapoka, ary ny takolako ho amin’ izay manongobaoka; ny tavako tsy nafeniko tamin’ ny henatra sy ny rora.
I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
7 Fa Jehovah Tompo no hamonjy Ahy, ka dia tsy resin-kenatra Aho; Ary efa nohamafisiko ho tahaka ny afovato ny tavako, ka fantatro fa tsy ho menatra Aho.
The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
8 Efa akaiky Izay manamarina Ahy: Iza no hiady amiko? Andeha hiara-mitsangana isika; iza no manana ady amiko? Aoka izy ho avy amiko.
The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
9 Indro, Jehovah Tompo no hamonjy ahy; koa iza no hanameloka ahy? Indro, izy rehetra ho tonga tahaka ny lamba mangarahara, ho lanin’ ny kalalao izy.
The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
10 Iza aminareo no matahotra an’ i Jehovah ka mihaino ny feon’ ny Mpanompony? Na iza na iza mandeha amin’ ny maizina ka tsy manana fahazavana, aoka izy hatoky ny anaran’ i Jehovah sy hiankina amin’ Andriamaniny.
Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
11 He! ianareo rehetra izay mampirehitra afo sy mifehy kilalaon’ afo manodidina anareo, mandehana amin’ ny lelafonareo sy amin’ ny zana-tsipìka misy afo, izay narehitrareo. Izao no hanjo anareo avy amin’ ny tanako: Handry amin’ ny fahoriana ianareo.
Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
