< Isaia 52 >

1 Mifohaza, mifohaza, tafio ny herinao, ry Ziona ô; tafio ny fitafianao tsara tarehy, ry Jerosalema ô, tanàna masìna; fa tsy hiditra any aminao intsony ny tsy voafora sy ny maloto.
Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O Zion! Put on the garments of your glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer pass through you.
2 Ahintsano ny vovoka hiala amin’ ny tenanao, ka mitsangàna, ary mipetraha, ry Jerosalema ô; vahao ny fatorana amin’ ny tendanao, ry Ziona, zanakavavy babo.
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise and sit up, O Jerusalem! Loose the chains from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy vola tsy harena no nivarotana anareo, ka dia tsy vola tsy harena koa no hanavotana anareo.
For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.
4 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tany Egypta no nidinan’ ny oloko tamin’ ny voalohany mba hivahiny tany; Ary ny Asyriana koa nampahory azy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.
For thus says the Lord God: My people descended into Egypt, in the beginning, in order to sojourn there. But the Assyrian oppressed them, without any cause at all.
5 Ary ankehitriny inona no hataoko eto? hoy Jehovah, fa nobaboina tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana ny oloko; ny mpanapaka azy dia manakora, hoy Jehovah; ary mandrakariva dia hamavoina mandritra ny andro ny anarako.
And now, what is left for me here, says the Lord? For my people have been taken away without cause. Their lords treat them unjustly, says the Lord. And my name is being continually blasphemed all day long.
6 Koa ny oloko dia hahalala ny anarako; Eny, amin’ izany andro izany dia ho fantany fa Izaho no miteny hoe: Inty Aho.
Because of this, my people will know my name, in that day. For it is I myself who is speaking. Behold, I am here.
7 Akory ny hatsaran’ ny tongotr’ iry mitondra teny soa mahafaly erỳ an-tendrombohitra sady mitory fiadanana! Dia izay mitondra teny soa mahafaly sady mitory famonjena, eny, izay manao amin’ i Ziona hoe: Mpanjaka Andriamanitrao!
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger and the preacher of peace! Announcing good and preaching peace, they are saying to Zion, “Your God will reign!”
8 Injany ny feon’ ny mpitilinao! Manandratra ny feony izy ka miara-mihoby; fa ho faly izy mahita mifanatri-maso ny hodian’ i Jehovah ho any Ziona.
It is the voice of your watchmen. They have lifted up their voice. They will praise together. For they will see eye to eye, when the Lord converts Zion.
9 Velomy ny hoby, ry fitoeran-drava any Jerosalema; Fa Jehovah efa nampionona ny olony sady efa nanavotra an’ i Jerosalema.
Be glad and rejoice together, O deserts of Jerusalem! For the Lord has consoled his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Jehovah efa nampiseho ny sandriny masìna teo imason’ ny firenena rehetra; ary ny faran’ ny tany rehetra hahita ny famonjen’ Andriamanitsika.
The Lord has prepared his holy arm, in the sight of all the Gentiles. And all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Mialà, mialà ianareo, mivoaha, aza mikasika izay maloto, mivoaha avy eo aminy; madiova, ianareo izay mitondra ny fanak’ i Jehovah.
Depart, depart, get out of here! Do not be willing to touch what is polluted. Go out from her midst! Be cleansed, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 Fa tsy tampoka no hivoahanareo, ary tsy lositra no handehananareo; fa Jehovah no hitarika anareo eo aloha, ary Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no ho vodi-lalanareo.
For you will not go out in a tumult, nor will you take flight in a hurry. For the Lord will precede you, and the God of Israel will gather you.
13 Indro, ny Mpanompoko ho hita ho hendry, hisandratra sy ho ambony Izy ka ho avo indrindra.
Behold, my servant will understand; he will be exalted and lifted up, and he will be very sublime.
14 Fa toy ny nigagan’ ny maro Anao (Ny tarehiny dia simba ka hoatra ny tsy tarehin’ olombelona akory, ary ny endriny hoatra ny tsy endriky ny zanak’ olombelona),
Just as they were stupefied over you, so will his countenance be without glory among men, and his appearance, among the sons of men.
15 Dia toy izany no hampihendratrendratany ny firenena maro; ny mpanjaka hitampim-bava aminy; fa izay tsy mbola nolazaina tamin’ ireny no ho hitany, ary izay tsy mbola reny akory no hosaintsaininy.
He will sprinkle many nations; kings will close their mouth because of him. And those to whom he was not described, have seen. And those who have not heard, have considered.
