Isaia 57
1 Maty ny marina, nefa tsy misy misaina izany, ary alaina ny olona tsara fanahy, nefa tsy misy mihevitra fa ny marina dia alaina tsy ho azon’ ny loza hanjo.
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
2 Miditra amin’ ny fiadanana izy, mandry amin’ ny fandriany avy izy, dia izay rehetra mizotra amin’ ny hitsiny.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
3 Fa ianareo kosa dia mankanesa etỳ, ry zanaky ny mpanandro, ianareo taranaky ny mpaka vadin’ olona sy ny mpijangajanga.
“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 Iza no ihomehezanareo? Iza no isanasananareo vava sy itrangatranganareo lela? Tsy taranaky ny fiodinana va ianareo sady taranaky ny lainga?
Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
5 Dia ianareo izay mahamaimay ny fonareo amin’ ny hazo terebinta eny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra, ka mamono zaza eny an-dohasahan-driaka eny ambanin’ ny tsefatsefaky ny harambato.
who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Ao amin’ ny vato kilonjy any an-dohasahan-driaka no anjaranao, eny, ireny ihany no anjaranao; ireny koa no nanidinanao fanatitra aidina sy nanateranao fanatitra hohanina. Hahatsindry fo amin’ izany va Aho?
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
7 Teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra avo sy manerinerina no nametrahanao ny fandrianao, ka tany no niakaranao hamono zavatra natao fanatitra.
On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
8 Teo ivohon’ ny varavarana sy ny tolam-baravarana no nametrahanao ny fampahatsiarovana anao; fa lavitra Ahy no nitanjahanao sy niakaranao, eny, nataonao malalaka ny fandrianao, ary nanao fanekena ny amin’ izay hataon’ ireny ianao; tia ny fandriana aminy ianao ka nizaha toerana ho anao.
Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
9 Dia nivezivezy nankany amin’ ny mpanjaka ianao nitondra diloilo, ary nataonao betsaka ny zava-manitrao, sady nampandehanina hatrany lavitra any ny irakao, ka nidina hatrany amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ianao. (Sheol h7585)
You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
10 Noho ny halavitry ny nalehanao dia sasatra ianao, nefa ianao tsy niteny hoe: kivy aho izany! Nahazo aina ny tananao, ka dia tsy nahatsiaro reraka ianao.
You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
11 Ary iza no nahinao sy natahoranao, no dia nandainga ianao ka tsy nahatsiaro ahy na nandatsaka am-po? Moa tsy efa nangina va Aho hatrizay hatrizay? Ka dia tsy natahotra Ahy ianao.
Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
12 Izaho no hanambara ny fahamarinanao ary ny asanao dia tsy hahasoa anao.
I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
13 Raha mitaraina ianao, dia aoka ireo maronao no hamonjy anao, nefa hongahan’ ny rivotra avokoa ireo sy ho lasan’ ny tso-drivotra malemilemy aza; Fa izay mialoka amiko kosa no hanana ny tany sy handova ny tendrombohitro masìna.
When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
14 Ary Izy hilaza hoe: Manandrata, eny, manandrata ka manamboara lalana, esory izay mahatafintohina eny amin’ ny alehan’ ny oloko.
And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15 Fa izao no lazain’ ny Iray avo sy manerinerina, izay monina mandrakizay, masìna no anarany: Ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo sy masìna no onenako, ary ao amin’ ny torotoro fo sy ny manetry tena, hamelombelona ny fanahin’ ny manetry tena sy hamelombelona ny fon’ ny torotoro fo;
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Fa tsy hifandahatra mandrakariva Aho ary tsy ho tezitra mandrakizay; Fandrao ho reraka eo anatrehako ny fanahy, dia ny aina izay nataoko.
For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
17 Ny helony noho ny fieremany no nahatezitra Ahy ka namelezako azy; fa niery Aho, satria tezitra, nefa niodina izy ka mbola nandroso tamin’ ny lalana tian’ ny fony ihany.
I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
18 Efa nahita ny lalany Aho, nefa hahasitrana azy ihany, dia hitari-dalana azy Aho ka hampody ny fiononana ho aminy sy ho amin’ ny malahelo ao aminy,
I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
19 Dia Izaho Izay mahary ny vokatry ny molotra: Fiadanana, fiadanana ho an’ izay lavitra sy ho an’ izay akaiky! hoy Jehovah, ka dia hahasitrana azy Aho.
bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
20 Fa ny ratsy fanahy dia tahaka ny ranomasina misamboaravoara, eny, tsy mety tafatoetra izy, ka ny ranony dia mamoaka loto sy fotaka.
But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
21 Tsy misy fiadanana ho an’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Andriamanitro.
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
