< 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 has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
2 Miditra amin’ ny fiadanana izy, mandry amin’ ny fandriany avy izy, dia izay rehetra mizotra amin’ ny hitsiny.
He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
3 Fa ianareo kosa dia mankanesa etỳ, ry zanaky ny mpanandro, ianareo taranaky ny mpaka vadin’ olona sy ny mpijangajanga.
“And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
4 Iza no ihomehezanareo? Iza no isanasananareo vava sy itrangatranganareo lela? Tsy taranaky ny fiodinana va ianareo sady taranaky ny lainga?
Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
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 are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under 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 things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in these things?
7 Teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra avo sy manerinerina no nametrahanao ny fandrianao, ka tany no niakaranao hamono zavatra natao fanatitra.
On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a sacrifice.
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.
And behind the door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
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)
And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself to Sheol. (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 have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
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.
And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
12 Izaho no hanambara ny fahamarinanao ary ny asanao dia tsy hahasoa anao.
I declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do 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, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses My holy mountain.”
14 Ary Izy hilaza hoe: Manandrata, eny, manandrata ka manamboara lalana, esory izay mahatafintohina eny amin’ ny alehan’ ny oloko.
And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block 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 said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
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 do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls 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.
For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back in the way 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, and I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
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.
Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
20 Fa ny ratsy fanahy dia tahaka ny ranomasina misamboaravoara, eny, tsy mety tafatoetra izy, ka ny ranony dia mamoaka loto sy fotaka.
And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
21 Tsy misy fiadanana ho an’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Andriamanitro.
“There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
