Isaia 58

1 Ezaho ny fiantsonao, fa aza atao malemy, Asandrato ny feonao ho tahaka ny an’ ny anjomara, ka ambarao amin’ ny oloko ny fahadisoany Ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba ny fahotany;

Cry aloud, do not spare, Like a horn, lift high thy voice, —And declare To my people, their transgression, and To the house of Jacob their sins.

2 Nefa Izaho mbola tadiaviny ihany isan’ andro isan’ andro, ary ny hahalala ny lalako no sitrany. Tahaka ny firenena efa nanao ny marina ka tsy nahafoy ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny no fanontaniany amiko ny fitsipiky ny fahamarinana, sy aniriany ny hihavian’ Andriamanitra.

Yet, me—day by day, do they seek, And in the knowledge of my ways, they delight, —Like a nation that had done righteousness, And the justice of their God, had not forsaken They ask of me the just regulations, In approaching God, they delight.

3 Nahoana izahay no mifady, hoy izy, nefa tsy hitanao? Ary nahoana izahay no mampahory ny tenanay, nefa tsy ahoanao? Indro fa amin’ ny andro fifadianareo aza dia mbola ny tianareo ihany no ataonareo, ary ny mpiasa rehetra ao aminareo dia ampahorinareo.

Wherefore have we Fasted and thou hast not seen? Humbled our soul, and thou wouldst take no note? Lo! in the day of your fast, ye take pleasure, But all your toilers, ye drive on!

4 Indro, ny hiady sy ny hifanditra no anton’ ny ifadianareo ary ny hamely amin’ ny totohondrin’ ny faharatsiana; Izao fifadianareo izao dia tsy andrenesana ny feonareo any amin’ ny avo.

Lo! for strife and contention, ye fast, And to smite with the fist of lawlessness, —Ye shall not fast as to-day, To cause to be heard on high your voice!

5 Moa fifadiana toy izany va no ankasitrahako? Dia andro hampahorian’ ny olona tena? Ny hampiondrika ny lohany tahaka ny zozoro sy ny hamelatra lamba fisaonana rarahan-davenona ho fandriany, moa izany va no ataonao hoe fifadiana sy andro ankasitrahan’ i Jehovah?

Like this, shall the fast be that I choose, A day for the son of earth to humble his soul? Is it to bow down as a rush his head, And sackcloth and ashes, to spread out? Is it, this, thou wilt call a fast, Or a day of acceptance with Yahweh?

6 Tsy izao va no fifadiana izay ankasitrahako: Dia ny hamaha ny famatoran’ ny faharatsiana, sy hanaboraka ny fehin’ ny zioga, sy handefa ny ampahorina ho afaka, ary hanapatapaka ny zioga rehetra?

Is not, this, the fast that I must ever choose—To unbind the tight cords of lawlessness, To unloose the bands of the yoke, —and To let the crushed go free, and That every yoke, ye tear off?

7 Moa tsy ny hizara ny mofonao ho an’ ny noana va, sy ny hampiantrano ny ory manjenjena, ary mba hanafianao izay hitanao mitanjaka, ka tsy hihirim-belona amin’ ny namanao ianao?

Is it not to break unto the hungry, thy bread, And the thrust-out oppressed, that thou bring into a home, —When thou seest one naked, that thou cover him, And from thine own flesh, shalt not hide thyself?

8 Fa raha izany, dia hiposaka tahaka ny fahazavan’ ny maraina ny fahazavanao, ary ho tonga faingana ny fahasitrananao; ny fahamarinanao ho loha-lalanao, ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ho vodi-lalanao

Then, shall break forth, as the dawn, thy light, And thy new flesh shall speedily grow, —Then shall go before thee, thy righteousness, the glory of Yahweh shall bring up thy rear:

9 Ary amin’ izany dia hiantso ianao, ary Jehovah hamaly; Eny, hanandratra ny feonao ianao, ary Izy hanao hoe: Inty Aho. Raha esorinao tsy ho eo aminao ny zioga sy ny fanondroan’ ny fanondro sy ny fitenenan-dratsy,

Then, shalt thou Call, and Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst the yoke, The pointing of the finger, and The speaking of iniquity;

10 Ary afoinao ho an’ ny noana izay hanina tianao, ka mahavoky ny ory ianao, dia hiposaka ao amin’ ny maizina ny fahazavanao, ary ny aizim-pitonao ho tahaka ny mitataovovonana;

And shalt let thine own soul go out to the hungry, And the soul of the oppressed, thou shalt satisfy, Then shall break forth in darkness thy light, And thy thick darkness, become as the splendour of noon;

11 Ary Jehovah hitari-dalana anao mandrakariva sady hahavoky ny fanahinao ao amin’ ny tany karankaina aza sy hampahatanjaka ny taolanao; dia ho tahaka ny saha vonton-drano ianao sy ho tahaka ny loharanao miboiboika izay tsy mety ritra.

Then will Yahweh guide thee continually, And will satisfy, [even] in scorched regions thine own soul, Yea thy very bones, will he invigorate, —So shall thou become like a garden well—watered, And like a spring of water whose waters do not deceive;

12 Ary izay taranakao no hanangana ny efa rava ela, ary ny naorina hatry ny fony fahagola no hamboarinao; ary ianao dia hatao hoe mpamboatra ny rava, mpamelon-dalana honenana amin’ ny tany.

And they who come of thee shall build the wastes of age-past times, And as for the foundations of generation after generation, thou shalt rear them up, —So shalt thou be called—A Repairer of broken walls, A Restorer of paths leading home.

13 Raha miaro ny tongotrao amin’ ny Sabata ianao ka tsy manao izay tianao amin’ ny androko masìna, ary manao ny Sabata hoe Fahafinaretana, ary ny nohamasinin’ i Jehovah hoe mendrika hohajaina, ka manome voninahitra azy ary tsy mandeha amin’ ny lalanao, na manao izay tianao, na miteniteny foana,

If thou turn back. From the sabbath thy foot, From doing thine own pleasure on my holy day, —And shall call—The sabbath, An exquisite delight, The holy day of Yahweh, A day to be honoured, And so shall honour it rather—Than do thine own ways, Than take thine own pleasure or Than speak thine own word,

14 Dia hiravoravo amin’ i Jehovah ianao, ary hasandratro ao amin’ ny havoana amin’ ny tany ianao, sy hofahanako amin’ ny lovan’ i Jakoba rainao; Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.

Then, shalt thou rest thine own exquisite delight upon Yahweh, …And I will cause thee to ride over the high places of the land, —And will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken.
