< 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, dyed red in his garments from Bozrah? this—glorious in his apparel, moving along in the greatness of his strength? “I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Nahoana no mena ny fitafianao, ary ny akanjonao no tahaka ny an’ izay manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka?
Why is redness on thy apparel, and [why are] thy garments as of one that treadeth the wine-press?
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 vat alone, and of the nations there was no man with me; and I trod them down in my anger, and I trampled on them in my fury; and their blood was sprinkled on my garments, and all my raiments have I stained.
4 Fa efa ato am-poko ny andro hamaliako, ary tonga ny taonan’ ny voavotro.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed was 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.
And I looked, and there was no one to help, and I was astonished, and there was no one to support; and then my own arm aided me, and my fury—this it was that upheld me.
6 Nanitsaka firenena tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho sady nampahaleony azy tamin’ ny fahavinirako ary nandatsaka ny ràny tamin’ ny tany.
And I stamped down nations in my anger, and I made them drunken with my fury, and brought down to the earth their victorious strength.”
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.
The kindnesses of the Lord will I mention, the praises of the Lord, in accordance with all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the abundant goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and the abundance of his kindnesses.
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 lie; and he became to them a 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 afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and he carried them 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 rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit; and he changed himself to become 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,
Then remembered his people the ancient days of Moses, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put within him his holy Spirit?
12 Dia Ilay nampandeha ny sandriny be voninahitra teo ankavanan’ i Mosesy ka nampisaraka ny ranomasina teo anoloany, mba hanaovany anarana mandrakizay ho Azy,
That displayed by the right hand of Moses his glorious arm; that divided the water before them, to make unto 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?
That led them through the deeps, as a horse through the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
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 goeth down into the valley, so did the spirit of the Lord bring them to rest; thus didst thou guide thy people, to make unto 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 the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mights, the yearning of thy bowels and of thy mercy which are now restrained 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; for Abraham knoweth nothing of us, and Israel recogniseth us not: 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 let us go astray, O Lord, from thy ways, suffered our heart to be hardened against thy fear? Return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy heritage.
18 Vetivety foana no nananan’ ny olonao masìna ny tany; ny fahavalonay efa nanitsaka ny fitoeranao masìna.
But a brief space were thy holy people in possession, when our adversaries trod 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 though we are those over whom thou hast never ruled, over whom thy name hath not been called.
