Isaia 65
1 Notadiavin’ zay tsy naniry Aho sy hitan’ izay tsy nitady; hoy Izaho tamin’ ny firenena izay tsy nantsoina tamin’ ny anarako: Inty Aho! Inty Aho!
I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
2 Namelatra ny tanako mandritra ny andro Aho tamin’ ny firenena miodina, izay mandeha amin’ ny lalana tsy tsara araka ny fisainany ihany,
I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
3 Dia firenena izay nahatezitra ahy mandrakariva na dia eo imasoko aza, izay mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra eo amin’ ny tanimboly Ary mandoro ditin-kazo manitra eny ambonin’ ny tanimanga,
These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
4 Dia izay mipetraka any amin’ ny fasana ary mitoetra mandritra ny alina ao am-pierena, sady mihinana henan-kisoa, ary ny ron’ ny hena fahavetavetana no ao amin’ ny loviany,
They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
5 Izay manao hoe: Mihataha, fa aza manakaiky ahy, fa izaho no masìna, fa tsy ianao, ireny dia setroka ao am-bavoroko, eny, afo mirehitra mandritra ny andro.
They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
6 Indro, izao no voasoratra eo anatrehako: Tsy hangina Aho mandra-pamaliko anareo eny, mandra-pamaliko ho ao an-tratranareo
Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
7 Ny helokareo sy ny heloky ny razanareo koa, hoy Jehovah, dia izay olona nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny an-tendrombohitra ary nihaika Ahy teny amin’ ny havoana; eny, hamatra ny valin’ ny asany ho ao an-tratrany Aho aloha.
I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
8 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tahaka ny ranom-boaloboka hita ao antsampahony ka ataon’ ny olona hoe: Aza simbana, fa misy fitahiana ao anatiny dia toy izany no hataoko noho ny amin’ ny mpanompoko, ka tsy hanimba azy rehetra Aho.
This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
9 Hahatonga taranaka avy amin’ i Jakoba Aho sy mpandova ny tendrombohitro avy amin’ i Joda; Ary ireo voafidiko no handova azy, eny, ny mpanompoko no honina ao.
I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
10 Sarona ho tonga fiandrasana ondry ary ny lohasaha akora ho fandrian’ omby, ho an’ ny oloko izay nitady Ahy.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
11 Fa ny aminareo izay mahafoy an’ i Jehovah sy manadino ny tendrombohitro masìna, sady mamelatra latabatra ho an’ i Gada sy mampidina divay noharoharoan-javatra ho an’ i Meny,
But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
12 Dia hotendreko ho voan’ ny sabatra ianareo ka hankohofina hovonoina avokoa, satria niantso Aho, fa tsy namaly ianareo, niteny Aho, fa tsy nihaino ianareo, fa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko, ary izay tsy sitrako no nofidinareo.
I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
13 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ny mpanompoko hihinana, fa ianareo kosa ho mosarena; Indro, ny mpanompoko hisotro, fa ianareo kosa ho main-tenda; indro, ny mpanompoko hifaly, fa ianareo kosa ho menatra;
So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
14 Indro, ny mpanompoko hihoby noho ny faharavoam-po, fa ianareo kosa hitoloko noho ny alahelom-po sy hidradradradra noho ny fahoriam-panahy.
Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
15 Ary hamela ny anaranareo ho fiozonana amin’ ireo voafidiko ianareo, ary hahafaty anao Jehovah Tompo; fa ny mpanompony kosa dia homeny anaram-baovao;
Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
16 Ka izay miarahaba tena etỳ ambonin’ ny tany dia hanao izany amin’ ny anaran’ Andriamanitry ny Amena; ary izay mianiana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany dia hianiana amin’ Andriamanitry ny Amena, satria efa hadino ny fahoriana taloha, sady voafina izany ka tsy hitan’ ny masoko.
Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
17 Fa, indro, Izaho mahary lanitra vaovao sy tany vaovao, ka dia tsy hotsarovana intsony ny taloha, na ho mby ao an-tsaina akory aza.
Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
18 Fa mifalia kosa sy miravoravoa mandrakizay, satria mahary izany Aho; fa, indro, mahary an’ i Jerosalema ho fifaliana Aho ary ny olony ho firavoravoana.
Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
19 Dia ho faly amin’ i Jerosalema Aho sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny oloko; ary ny feo mitomany tsy ho re any intsony, na ny feo mitaraina.
I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
20 Ary na dia ny zaza minono any aza dia tsy ho fohy andro, ary tsy hisy anti-panahy izay tsy nahatapitra ny androny; fa mbola zatovo ihany izay maty na dia efa zato taona aza, ary ny mpanota aza, dia hahatratra zato taona vao hozonina.
No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
21 Hanao trano ny olona ka hitoetra ao; Ary hanao tanim-boaloboka ny olona ka hihinana ny vokatra aminy.
They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
22 Tsy hanao trano hitoeran’ olon-kafa izy, Na hamboly zavatra hohanin’ olon-kafa; Fa ho tahaka ny andron’ ny hazo ny andron’ ny oloko, Ary ireo voafidiko dia hanaram-po amin’ ny asan’ ny tanany.
No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
23 Tsy hisasatra foana izy, na hitera-jaza ho tratry ny loza tampoka; Fa taranak’ izay notahin’ i Jehovah ireo, Ary ny terany ho ao aminy.
They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
24 Raha tsy mbola miantso aza izy dia hamaly Aho; Ary raha mbola miteny izy, dia hihaino Aho.
I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
25 Ny amboadia sy ny zanak’ ondry hiara-komana, Ary ny liona hihina-mololo tahaka ny omby, Ary ny menarana, dia vovoka no ho fihinany; Ary tsy handratra na hanimba eran’ ny tendrombohitro masìna izy, hoy Jehovah.
The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
