< Isaia 60 >
1 Mitsangàna, mihazavà, fa tonga ny fahazavanao, ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah efa miposaka aminao.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
2 Fa, indro, ny aizina manarona ny tany, ary ny aizim-pito manarona ny firenena; fa aminao kosa no iposahan’ i Jehovah, ary aminao no isehoan’ ny voninahiny.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 Ary ny firenena manatona ny fahazavanao, ary ny mpanjaka mankeo amin’ ny famirapiratan’ ny fiposahanao.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Atopazy manodidina ny masonao ka jereo! Izy rehetra dia mivory ka mankaty aminao; Ny zanakao-lahy dia avy lavitra, ny zanakao-vavy dia sakelehina.
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
5 Ary hahita izany ianao ka ho miramirana, dia hiemponempona sady hohalehibiazina ny fonao; fa ho entina ho anao ny haren’ ny ranomasina, ary hafindra ho anao ny fananan’ ny firenena.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Ho feno ny rameva betsaka ao aminao, dia ny rameva tanora avy any Midiana sy Efaha, samy avy any Sheba izy rehetra; volamena sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona no ho entiny, ary ny fiderana an’ i Jehovah no teny mahafaly hambarany.
A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Efah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of the LORD.
7 Ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra any kedara dia hangonina ho ao aminao, ary ny ondrilahin’ i Nebaiota hanompo anao; hiakatra amin’ ny fankasitrahana ho eo ambonin’ ny alitarako ireo, ary hataoko be voninahitra ny tranon’ ny voninahitro.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
8 Iza moa ireto manidina tahaka ny rahona ary tahaka ny voromailala ho amin’ ny varavarankeliny?
“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Fa Izaho no andrasan’ ny nosy, ary ny sambon’ i Tarsisy ho loha-lalana, Hitondra ny zanakao avy lavitra mbamin’ ny volafotsiny sy ny volamenany, ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy ho an’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely, Satria efa nanome voninahitra anao Izy.
Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 Ary ny hafa firenena no hanangana ny mandanao, ary ny mpanjakany hanompo anao; fa tamin’ ny fahatezerako no namelezako anao. Ary amin’ ny fitiavako kosa no amindrako fo aminao,
“Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Ary hidanadana mandrakariva ny vavahadinao, tsy hirindrina izy na andro na alina, hampidirana ny haren’ ny firenena sy ny mpanjakany izay efa voababo ho ao aminao.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Fa ho levona izay firenena sy fanjakana tsy hanompo anao; eny, ireny firenena ireny hofongorana tokoa.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 Ny voninahitr’ i Libanona ho tonga aminao, ny hazo kypreso sy ny pina ary ny bokso koa handravahana ny fitoerako masìna, ary hasiako voninahitra ny fitoeran-tongotro.
“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 Ny zanak’ izay nampahory anao dia handeha hiondrika eo anatrehanao, ary hiankohoka amin’ ny faladianao izay rehetra nanamavo anao; ary izy hanao anao hoe Tanànan’ i Jehovah, Zionan’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Ho solon’ ny nahafoizana anao sy ny nankahalana anao ary ny tsy nandehanan’ olona namaky anao, dia hasandratro ho rehareha mandrakizay ianao, eny, ho fifaliana hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Ary hinono amin’ ny jentilisa ianao sady hinono amin’ ny mpanjaka; ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho Jehovah no Mpamonjy anao, ary Ilay Maherin’ i Jakoba no Mpanavotra anao.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Hahatonga volamena Aho ho solom-barahina, ary hahatonga volafotsy ho solom-by, ary varahina ho solon-kazo, ary vy ho solom-bato; ny fiadanana no hataoko fanapahana anao, ary ny fahamarinana no ho mpampiasa anao.
For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Ny fampahoriana tsy ho re eo amin’ ny taninao intsony, na ny fandravana sy ny fandringanana ao anatin’ ny fari-taninao; ny mandanao dia hataonao hoe Famonjena, ary ny vavahadinao hataonao hoe Fiderana.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Tsy ny masoandro intsony no ho fanazavana anao nony andro; ary tsy ny fangarangaran’ ny volana no hanazava anao; fa Jehovah no ho fanazavana anao mandrakizay, ary Andriamanitrao no ho voninahitrao.
The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Tsy hilentika intsony ny masoandronao, ary ny volanao tsy hisoka; fa Jehovah no ho fanazavana anao mandrakizay, ary ho tapitra ny andro fahalahelovanao.
Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
21 Ary ny olonao rehetra ho marina avokoa; hanana ny tany ho mandrakizay izy, eny, ho voly maitso eo amin’ ny sahako. Asan’ ny tanako ho fampisehoam-boninahitra.
Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Ny kely ho tonga arivo, ary ny malemy ho tonga firenena mahery; Izaho Jehovah no hanafaingana izany amin’ ny fotoany.
The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
