< Isaia 63 >

1 Iza moa Ity avy any Edoma, dia avy any Bozra, ka mena mangatrakatraka ny fitafiany, dia Ity Izay mareva-pitafiana sy miandranandrana amin’ ny haben ny heriny? Izaho Izay mitory fahamarinana sady manan-kery hamonjy.
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
2 Nahoana no mena ny fitafianao, ary ny akanjonao no tahaka ny an’ izay manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka?
Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
3 Nanosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka irery Aho; fa tsy mba nisy niaraka tamiko ny avy tamin’ ny firenena na dia iray akory aza; nanitsaka ireny tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho sy nanosihosy azy tamin’ ny fahavinirako, dia nipitipitihan’ ny ràny ny fitafiako, ka voalotoko ny akanjoko rehetra.
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
4 Fa efa ato am-poko ny andro hamaliako, ary tonga ny taonan’ ny voavotro.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
5 Nitsinjo Aho, nefa tsy nisy hamonjy, ary talaniona Aho, satria tsy nisy hanohana, ka dia ny sandriko ihany no nanao famonjena ho Ahy, ary ny fahavinirako no nanohana Ahy.
I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
6 Nanitsaka firenena tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho sady nampahaleony azy tamin’ ny fahavinirako ary nandatsaka ny ràny tamin’ ny tany.
And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.
7 Ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah no hambarako, dia ny fiderana an’ i Jehovah araka izay rehetra nataony tamintsika sy ny haben’ ny fahasoavana tamin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely. Izay nomeny azy araka ny fiantrany sy araka ny haben’ ny famindram-pony.
I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 Fa hoy Izy: Oloko tokoa ireo, dia zanaka tsy mba handainga; ka dia tonga Mpamonjy azy Izy.
And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny: so he became their saviour.
9 Tamin’ ny fahoriany rehetra dia niory koa Izy, ary Ilay Anjelin’ ny tavany no namonjy ireo; ny fitiavany sy ny famindram-pony no nanavotany azy sy nivimbinany azy ary nitondrany azy tamin’ ny andro taloha ela rehetra.
In all their affliction he was not troubled, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 Fa ireo kosa dia niodina ka nanome alahelo ny Fanahy Masiny; dia tonga fahavalony Izy ka niady taminy.
But they provoked to wrath, and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 Ary ny olony dia nahatsiaro ny andro taloha ela, dia ny tamin’ i Mosesy. Aiza Ilay nitondra azy mbamin’ ny mpiandry ondriny niakatra avy tamin’ ny ranomasina? Aiza Ilay nametraka ny Fanahy Masiny tao aminy,
And he remembered the days of old of Moses, and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
12 Dia Ilay nampandeha ny sandriny be voninahitra teo ankavanan’ i Mosesy ka nampisaraka ny ranomasina teo anoloany, mba hanaovany anarana mandrakizay ho Azy,
He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 Dia Ilay nitondra azy nita ny rano lalina, tahaka ny fandehan’ ny soavaly eny an-tany lemaka, ka tsy tafintohina izy?
He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not.
14 Tahaka ny fidinan’ ny biby fiompy ho any an-dohasaha no nanomezan’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah fitsaharana ho azy: Tahaka izany no nitondranao ny olonao, Mba hanaovana anarana be voninahitra ho Anao.
As a beast that goeth down in the field, the spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Mitsinjova eny an-danitra, ary mijere eny amin’ ny fonenan’ ny fahamasinanao sy ny voninahitrao; aiza ny fahasaro-piaronao sy ny asanao lehibe? Ny fandevilevin’ ny kibonao sy ny famindram-ponao dia voasakana tsy ho amiko.
Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory: where is thy zeal, and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels, and of thy mercies? they have held back themselves from me.
16 Kanefa Hianao no Rainay, fa Abrahama tsy mahalala anay, Ary Isiraely tsy mahafantatra anay, Jehovah ô, Hianao no Rainay, ary Mpanavotra anay no anaranao hatrizay hatrizay.
For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
17 Jehovah ô, nahoana no nampiala anay tamin’ ny lalanao Hianao ka nampaniasia anay sady nanamafy ny fonay tsy hatahotra Anao? Miverena noho ny amin’ ny mpanomponao, dia ny firenena lovanao.
Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways: why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18 Vetivety foana no nananan’ ny olonao masìna ny tany; ny fahavalonay efa nanitsaka ny fitoeranao masìna.
They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Efa tonga hoatra izay tsy notapahinao hatrizay hatrizay izahay sady tsy mba nantsoina tamin’ ny anaranao akory.
We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and when we were not called by thy name.
