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.
Awake, awake, put on thy majesty, O Zion! Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For no more shall come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
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 thyself from the dust, Arise and sit erect, O Jerusalem! Loose thyself from the bands of thy 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 saith Jehovah: For naught were ye sold, And without money shall ye be ransomed.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down to Egypt formerly to sojourn there, And the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
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 have I here to do, saith the Lord, When my people is taken away for naught, And their tyrants exult, saith Jehovah, And all the day long my name is blasphemed.
6 Koa ny oloko dia hahalala ny anarako; Eny, amin’ izany andro izany dia ho fantany fa Izaho no miteny hoe: Inty Aho.
Therefore shall my people know my name; Therefore in that day shall they know That I am he that said, Behold, here am I!
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 him that bringeth good tidings, of him that proclaimeth peace! That bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth salvation! That saith to Zion, “Thy God is king!”
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.
Hark! the voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice together; yea, they shout! For eye to eye shall they behold, When Jehovah returneth to Zion.
9 Velomy ny hoby, ry fitoeran-drava any Jerosalema; Fa Jehovah efa nampionona ny olony sady efa nanavotra an’ i Jerosalema.
Break forth into joy; shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem! For Jehovah hath pity on his people; he redeemeth Jerusalem.
10 Jehovah efa nampiseho ny sandriny masìna teo imason’ ny firenena rehetra; ary ny faran’ ny tany rehetra hahita ny famonjen’ Andriamanitsika.
Jehovah maketh bare his holy arm In the sight of all the nations; All the ends of the earth Behold the salvation from 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 ye; go ye out from thence; Touch no unclean thing! Go ye out from the midst of her; Be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah!
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 not in haste shall ye go forth, Nor in flight shall ye pass along; For Jehovah shall march in your front, And the God of Israel bring up your rear.
13 Indro, ny Mpanompoko ho hita ho hendry, hisandratra sy ho ambony Izy ka ho avo indrindra.
Behold, my servant shall prosper; He shall be lifted up, and set on high, and greatly exalted.
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),
As many were amazed at the sight of him, —So disfigured and scarcely human was his visage, And so unlike that of a man was his form, —
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.
So shall he cause many nations to exult on account of him; Kings shall shut their mouths before him. For what had never been told them shall they see, And what they never heard shall they perceive.
