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 am not silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch 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 nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.
3 Ka dia ho tonga satro-boninahitra eo an-tànany ianao sy satrok’ andriana eo am-pelatanan’ Andriamanitrao.
And thou hast been a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, And a diadem of royalty 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.
It is not said of thee any more, 'Forsaken!' And of thy land it is not said any more, 'Desolate,' For to thee is cried, 'My delight [is] in her,' And to thy land, 'Married,' For Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is 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 a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.
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;
'On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,
7 Ary aza mamela Azy hitsahatra mandra-panaony an’ i Jerosalema ho mafy orina sy hoderaina amin’ ny tany.
And give not silence to Him, 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;
Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: 'I give not thy corn any more [as] food for thine enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For which thou hast laboured.
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.
For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy courts.'
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 on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over 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.
Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: 'Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire [is] with him, and his wage 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 have cried to them, 'People of the Holy One, Redeemed of Jehovah,' Yea, to thee is called, 'Sought out one, a city not forsaken!'
