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.
Thus says the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put her away? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, you are sold for your sins, and for your iniquities have I put your mother away.
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.
Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to listen? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.
3 Tafiako fahamaintisana ny lanitra, ary lamba fisaonana no ataoko fisaronany.
I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.
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 [even] God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:
5 Jehovah Tompo nanokatra ny sofiko, ary Izaho tsy naditra na nihemotra.
and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.
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 gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of 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.
but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,
8 Efa akaiky Izay manamarina Ahy: Iza no hiady amiko? Andeha hiara-mitsangana isika; iza no manana ady amiko? Aoka izy ho avy amiko.
for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yes, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw near to 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.
Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all you shall wax old as a garment, and a moth shall devour you.
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 is among you that fears the Lord? let him listen to the voice of his servant: you that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon 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.
Behold, you all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which you have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; you shall lie down in sorrow.
