Isaia 55
1 He! ianareo rehetra izay mangetaheta, mankanesa amin’ ny rano! Ary ianareo izay tsy manam-bola, avia, mividia, ka homàna! Eny, avia, mividia divay sy ronono, nefa tsy amim-bola, na amin-karena.
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
2 Nahoana ianareo no mandany vola amin’ izay tsy hanina, ary ny vokatry ny fisasaranareo amin’ izay tsy mahavoky? Mihainoa dia mihainoa Ahy, ka hano izay tsara, dia aoka hiravoravo amin’ ny matavy ny fanahinareo.
Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
3 Atongilano ny sofinareo, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko, mihainoa, dia ho velombelona ny fanahinareo; ary hanao fanekena mandrakizay aminareo Aho, dia ny famindram-po mahatoky nampanantenaina an’ i Davida.
Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
4 Indro, nataoko vavolombelona ho an’ ny firenena Izy, ho mpanapaka sy komandy amin’ ny firenena.
Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
5 Indro, firenena izay tsy fantatrao no hantsoinao, ary firenena izay tsy nahalala Anao no hihazakazaka ho aminao noho ny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, sy ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, fa nomeny voninahitra Hianao.
Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
6 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dieny mbola hita Izy, Miantsoa Azy, dieny mbola akaiky Izy.
Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
7 Aoka ny ratsy fanahy hahafoy ny lalany, ary ny tsy marina hahafoy ny heviny; ary aoka hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah ireny, fa hamindra fo aminy Izy, Eny, ho amin’ Andriamanitsika, fa hamela heloka dia hamela heloka tokoa Izy.
Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
8 Fa ny fihevitro tsy fihevitrareo ary ny lalanareo kosa tsy mba lalako, hoy Jehovah.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
9 Fa tahaka ny hahavon’ ny lanitra noho ny tany no hahavon’ ny lalako noho ny lalanareo sy ny fihevitro noho ny fihevitrareo.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Fa toy ny ranonorana sy ny oram-panala milatsaka avy any an-danitra ka tsy miverina any raha tsy efa nahavonto ny tany ka nampaniry sy nampahavokatra azy, mba hahatonga voa ho an’ ny mpamafy sy hanina ho an’ ny mpihinana,
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
11 Dia ho tahaka izany ny teniko izay aloaky ny vavako: Tsy hiverina amiko foana izy, raha tsy efa mahatanteraka izay sitrako ary ambinina amin’ izay ampandehanako azy.
so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
12 Fa amin’ ny fifaliana no hivoahanareo, ary amin’ ny fiadanana no hitondrana anareo; ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana hahavelona hoby eo alohanareo, ary ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha hitehatanana.
You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Ny hazo kypreso haniry ho solon’ ny tsilo, ary ny rotra ho solon’ ny sampivato; ary ho anarana ho an’ i Jehovah izany, dia ho famantarana mandrakizay izay tsy hesorina.
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
