Isaia 61
1 Ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah Tompo no ato amiko, satria Jehovah efa nanosotra Ahy hitory teny soa mahafaly amin’ ny mpandefitra, efa naniraka Ahy hahasitrana ny torotoro fo Izy, ary hitory fanafahana amin’ ny babo sy hamoaka ny ao an-trano-maizina ho amin’ ny mazava,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
2 Hitory taona ankasitrahan’ i Jehovah sy andro famalian’ Andriamanitsika, hampionona ny malahelo rehetra,
to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
3 Hanolotra ho an’ ny malahelo ao Ziona, eny, hanome azy namama ho solon’ ny lavenona, sy diloilo fifaliana ho solon’ ny fahalahelovana, ary fitafiana fiderana ho solon’ ny fanahy reradreraka, mba hanaovana azy hoe Hazon’ ny fahamarinana, nambolen’ i Jehovah ho fampisehoam-boninahitra.
that there should be given to them that mourn in Sion glory instead of ashes, the oil of joy to the mourners, the garment of glory for the spirit of heaviness: and they shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory.
4 Koa hatsangana ny efa rava hatry ny fony fahagola, ary hamboarina ny efa lao hatramin’ ny fahiny, dia hohavaozina indray ny tanàna rava, Izay efa lao hatramin’ ny taranaka lasa ela.
And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up those that were before made desolate, and shall renew the desert cities, [even] those that had been desolate for [many] generations.
5 Ary ny vahiny honina ao ka hiandry ny ondry aman’ osinareo, ary ny hafa firenena ho mpiasa tany sy ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka ho anareo,
And strangers shall come and feed thy flocks, and aliens [shall be thy] ploughmen and vine-dressers.
6 Fa ianareo kosa no hatao hoe mpisoron’ i Jehovah, Mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho an’ Andriamanitsika no hilazana anareo ho lasanareo ny haren’ ny firenena, ary handimby voninahitra azy ianareo.
But ye shall be called priests of the Lord, the ministers of God: ye shall eat the strength of nations, and shall be admired because of their wealth.
7 Ny henatrareo hosoloana avy roa heny, ary ny tondromaso hosoloana hoby amin’ ny anjara-lovany; ary noho izany dia hahazo indroa heny ao amin’ ny taniny izy, fifaliana mandrakizay no ho azy.
Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
8 Fa Izaho Jehovah dia tia rariny; halako ny fandrombahana amin’ ny faharatsiana; homeko ny valin’ asany amin’ ny fahamarinana izy, ary fanekena mandrakizay no hataoko aminy.
For I am the Lord who love righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labour to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Ny taranany ho fantatra any amin’ ny jentilisa ary ny terany any amin’ ny firenena; Izay rehetra mahita azy dia hahafantatra azy ho taranaka notahin’ i Jehovah.
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;
10 Hifaly dia hifaly amin’ i Jehovah aho, ny fanahiko ho ravoravo amin’ Andriamanitro; fa notafiany fitafiana famonjena aho, ary nakanjoiny akanjo fahamarinana, toy ny mpampakatra misatroka hamama tahaka ny mpisorona, ary toy ny ampakarina miravaka ny firàvany.
and they shall greatly rejoice in the Lord. Let my soul rejoice in the Lord; for he has clothed me with the robe of salvation, and the garment of joy: he has put a mitre on me as on a bridegroom, and adorned me with ornaments as a bride.
11 Fa tahaka ny tany mampitsimoka izay ao aminy, ary tahaka ny tanimboly mampaniry izay nafafy tao aminy, dia toy izany no hampisehoan’ i Jehovah Tompo fahamarinana sy fiderana eo anatrehan’ ny firenena rehetra.
And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, [even] the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exultation before all nations.
