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, everyone of you who's thirsty, come and drink the water! You who don't have money, come—you can buy and eat! Come and buy wine and milk—you don't need money; there's no 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 are you spending money on what isn't food, and why work for something that doesn't satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: eat what is good, and you'll enjoy the very best food.
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.
Come here, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I'm going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed to David.
4 Indro, nataoko vavolombelona ho an’ ny firenena Izy, ho mpanapaka sy komandy amin’ ny firenena.
See how I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for them.
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.
You will call nations you don't even know, and nations who don't know you will come running to you. For the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, I made you glorious.
6 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dieny mbola hita Izy, Miantsoa Azy, dieny mbola akaiky Izy.
Look for the Lord while you can still find him; call out to him while he's nearby.
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.
Wicked people should change their ways and get rid of even the thought of doing something wrong. They should turn to the Lord so he can be merciful to them. Come back to our God, because he's generous with his forgiveness.
8 Fa ny fihevitro tsy fihevitrareo ary ny lalanareo kosa tsy mba lalako, hoy Jehovah.
For your thoughts are not my thoughts; and your ways are not my ways, declares the Lord.
9 Fa tahaka ny hahavon’ ny lanitra noho ny tany no hahavon’ ny lalako noho ny lalanareo sy ny fihevitro noho ny fihevitrareo.
In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher 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,
It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower 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.
In the same way the words I say don't come back to me unfulfilled, they accomplish what I want—they successfully achieve my purpose.
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 live happily, taught the ways of peace. Mountains and hills will celebrate, singing beside you; and all the trees 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.
Cypress trees will grow instead of thorn bushes; myrtle trees will grow instead of brambles. This is to confirm the Lord's reputation—an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.
