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 I will not keep silence, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, Until her deliverance break forth like the shining light, And her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 Ny firenena hahita ny fahamarinanao, ary ny mpanjaka rehetra hahita ny voninahitrao; dia homena anaram-baovao ianao, Izay hotononin’ ny vavan’ i Jehovah;
Then shall the nations see thy prosperity, And all the kings thy glory; Thou shalt be called by a new name, Which the mouth of Jehovah shall give thee.
3 Ka dia ho tonga satro-boninahitra eo an-tànany ianao sy satrok’ andriana eo am-pelatanan’ Andriamanitrao.
Thou shalt be a beautiful crown in the hand of Jehovah, 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.
No more shalt thou be called the Desolate, And thy land, the Forsaken. But thou shall be named My-delight-is-in-her. And thy land the wedded Matron. For Jehovah shall delight 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 weddeth a virgin. So shall thy children wed thee. And as a bridegroom rejoiceth in his bride, So shall thy God rejoice in 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;
Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen; All the day, and all the night, shall they not keep silence; O ye that praise Jehovah, keep not silence,
7 Ary aza mamela Azy hitsahatra mandra-panaony an’ i Jerosalema ho mafy orina sy hoderaina amin’ ny tany.
And give him no rest, Until he establish Jerusalem, and make her 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 his mighty arm: No more will I give thy corn to be food for thine enemies, Nor shall the sons of the stranger drink thy 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 reap the harvest shall eat it, And praise Jehovah; And they that gather the vintage shall drink it, In my holy comets.
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.
Pass ye, pass ye through the gates; Prepare the way for the people; Cast ye up, cast ye up the highway, Clear it from the stones; Lift up on high a standard for the tribes!
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 proclaimeth to the end of the earth: “Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Deliverer 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.
They shall be called, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shalt be called, The Sought out, The Not forsaken City.
