< 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.
“Behold, every thirsty one, Come to the waters, And he who has no money, Come, buy and eat, Indeed, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
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 do you weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which is not for satiety? Listen diligently to Me, and eat good, And your soul delights itself in fatness.
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, Hear, and your soul lives, And I make a perpetual covenant for you, The kind blessings of David that are steadfast.
4 Indro, nataoko vavolombelona ho an’ ny firenena Izy, ho mpanapaka sy komandy amin’ ny firenena.
Behold, I have given him [as] a witness to peoples, A leader and commander to 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.
Behold, a nation you do not know, you call, And a nation who does not know you runs to you, For the sake of your God YHWH, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He has beautified you.”
6 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dieny mbola hita Izy, Miantsoa Azy, dieny mbola akaiky Izy.
Seek YHWH while He may be found, Call 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 forsake his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returns to YHWH, And He pities him, And to our God, For He multiplies to pardon.
8 Fa ny fihevitro tsy fihevitrareo ary ny lalanareo kosa tsy mba lalako, hoy Jehovah.
“For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways,” A declaration of YHWH,
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] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above 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 as the shower comes down, And the snow from the heavens, And does not return there, But has watered the earth, And has caused it to yield, and to spring up, And has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
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 is My word that goes out of My mouth, It does not return to Me empty, But has done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent 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.
For you go forth with joy, And you are brought in with peace, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
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 thorn comes up fir, Instead of the brier comes up myrtle, And it has been to YHWH for a name, For a perpetual sign—it is not cut off!”
