< Isaia 62 >

1 Tsy hangina Aho noho ny amin’ i Ziona, Ary tsy hitsaha-miteny Aho noho ny amin’ i Jerosalema, mandra-piposaky ny fahamarinany tahaka ny famirapiratry ny mazava, ary ny famonjena azy tahaka ny fanilo mirehitra.
For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.
2 Ny firenena hahita ny fahamarinanao, ary ny mpanjaka rehetra hahita ny voninahitrao; dia homena anaram-baovao ianao, Izay hotononin’ ny vavan’ i Jehovah;
And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
3 Ka dia ho tonga satro-boninahitra eo an-tànany ianao sy satrok’ andriana eo am-pelatanan’ Andriamanitrao.
Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 Hianao tsy hatao intsony hoe nafoy, ary ny taninao tsy hatao intsony hoe Lao fa ianao hatao hoe Ilay sitrako, ary ny taninao hatao hoe Vady ampakarina; Fa sitrak’ i Jehovah ianao, ary ny taninao hampanambadina.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 Fa tahaka ny zatovo mampakatra virijina ho vadiny no hampakaran’ ny mponina aminao anao; ary tahaka ny fifalian’ ny mpampakatra amin’ ny ampakariny no hifalian’ Andriamanitrao aminao.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 Efa nanendry mpiambina ho eny ambonin’ ny mandanao Aho, ry Jerosalema ô, koa mandrakariva na andro na alina dia tsy mahazo mangìna ireny; eny, ianareo izay mpampahatsiaro an’ i Jehovah, aza mitsahatra;
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah’s remembrancers, take ye no rest,
7 Ary aza mamela Azy hitsahatra mandra-panaony an’ i Jerosalema ho mafy orina sy hoderaina amin’ ny tany.
and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Jehovah efa nianiana tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana, dia tamin’ ny sandriny mahery, hoe: Tsy homeko hohanin’ ny fahavalonao intsony ny varinao, ary ny hafa firenena tsy hisotro ny ranom-boalobokao izay efa nisasaranao;
Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast labored:
9 Fa izay nijinja azy no hihinana azy ka hidera an’ i Jehovah; ary izay nioty azy no hisotro azy ao amin’ ny kianjako masìna.
but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10 Mivoaha, mivoaha amin’ ny vavahady, amboary ny lalana halehan’ ny olona; asandrato ho avo ny lalambe; esory ny vato eny aminy; manangàna faneva ho tazan’ ny firenena.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.
11 Indro, Jehovah efa nanambara hatrany amin’ ny faran’ izao tontolo izao nanao hoe: Lazao amin’ i Ziona zanakavavy: Indro, avy ny famonjena anao; Indro; ny valim-pitia hatolony dia ao aminy, ary ny valin’ asa homeny dia eo anoloany.
Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12 Ary Ireny hotononina hoe Firenena masìna, dia olona navotan’ i Jehovah; ary ianao dia hatao hoe Ilay notadiavina, Tanàna tsy foy.
And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
