Isaia 56
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tandremo ny rariny, ary manaova ny marina, fa efa madiva ho tonga ny famonjeko, ary efa hiseho ny fahamarinako.
Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
2 Sambatra ny zanak’ olombelona izay manao izany, ary ny zanak’ olona izay mitana izany, dia izay mitandrina ny Sabata ka tsy manao azy ho tsy masìna sady miaro ny tanany tsy hanao izay ratsy akory.
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
3 Ary aoka ny hafa firenena izay efa manaiky ho an’ i Jehovah tsy hanao hoe: Hesorin’ i Jehovah tsy ho isan’ ny olony tokoa aho; Ary aoka ny ionoka tsy hanao hoe: Indro, hazo maina aho.
And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ny amin’ ny ionoka izay mitandrina ny Sabatako sy mifidy izay sitrako ary mitana ny fanekeko,
For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
5 Dia hanaovako fahatsiarovana sy anarana ao an-tranoko sy ao anatin’ ny mandako izy, izay tsara lavitra noho ny an’ ny zanakalahy sy ny zanakavavy; dia anarana mandrakizay izay tsy hesorina no homeko azy.
I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
6 Ary ny hafa firenena izay efa manaiky ho an’ i Jehovah mba hanompo Azy sy ho tia ny anaran’ i Jehovah mba ho mpanompony dia izay rehetra mitandrina ny Sabata ka tsy manao azy ho tsy masìna sady mitana ny fanekeko
And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
7 Dia ho entiko ho any an-tendrombohitro masìna, ka hampifaliko ao an-tranoko fivavahana; ny fanatitra dorany sy ny fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà dia hankasitrahana eo ambonin’ ny alitarako, fa ny tranoko hatao hoe trano fivavahana ho an’ ny firenena rehetra.
I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
8 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo, Izay mamory ny Isiraely voaroaka: Mbola hamory ny sasany koa ho eo aminy Aho, hanampy izay efa voavory eo aminy.
The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
9 He, ianareo bibi-dia rehetra! Avia hihinana, ianareo biby rehetra any an’ ala.
All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
10 Jamba ny mpitiliny, samy tsy mahalala izy rehetra, amboa moana avokoa, izy rehetra, ka tsy mahavovo, manonofy izy, eny, mandry ka torimaso.
His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 Lian-kanina ireny amboa ireny; ka tsy mahalala voky, sady mpiandry tsy mahafantatra ireny; samy efa nivily ho amin’ ny lalany avy izy rehetra, samy mankamin’ ny filàny harena avokoa izy rehetra.
And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
12 Avia, ianareo, hoy ireny fa haka divay aho, ary aoka hiboboka toaka isika; ary rahampitso dia ho tahaka ny anio ihany, eny, hanoatra lavitra aza
“Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
