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 saith Jehovah: Keep ye justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon to be 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.
Happy the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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 stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated 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 saith Jehovah concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And hold fast 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.
To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
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
The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And holdeth fast 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.
Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.
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.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
9 He, ianareo bibi-dia rehetra! Avia hihinana, ianareo biby rehetra any an’ ala.
Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to 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 know nothing; They are all dumb dogs, that cannot bark, Dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber;
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.
Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
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 on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
