< 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? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.
2 Nahoana no mena ny fitafianao, ary ny akanjonao no tahaka ny an’ izay manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka?
Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?
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 wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was 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 was in my heart, And the year of my deliverance 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 none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.
6 Nanitsaka firenena tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho sady nampahaleony azy tamin’ ny fahavinirako ary nandatsaka ny ràny tamin’ ny tany.
I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.
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 celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.
8 Fa hoy Izy: Oloko tokoa ireo, dia zanaka tsy mba handainga; ka dia tonga Mpamonjy azy Izy.
He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.
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 straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore 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; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself 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, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?
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 caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to 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 deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?
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 the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for 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 and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?
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.
Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.
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, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!
18 Vetivety foana no nananan’ ny olonao masìna ny tany; ny fahavalonay efa nanitsaka ny fitoeranao masìna.
But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.
19 Efa tonga hoatra izay tsy notapahinao hatrizay hatrizay izahay sady tsy mba nantsoina tamin’ ny anaranao akory.
It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
