Isaia 66
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ny lanitra no seza fiandrianako, Ary ny tany no fitoeran-tongotro; Trano manao ahoana no hataonareo ho Ahy? Ary fitoerana manao ahoana no ho fitsaharako?
Thus saith Jehovah: Heaven is my throne, And the earth my footstool; Where is the house that ye can build me, And where is the place of my rest?
2 Fa izao zavatra izao no nataon’ ny tanako. Ka dia ary izao rehetra izao, hoy Jehovah; Nefa izao no olona hotsinjoviko, Dia izay malahelo sy torotoro fanahy Sady mangovitra noho ny teniko.
For all these things hath my hand made; By it do all these things exist, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look, Even to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, And who trembleth at my word.
3 Izay mamono omby dia hoatra ny mamono olona; Izay mamono ondry hatao fanatitra dia hoatra ny mamolaka ny vozon’ alika; Izay manatitra fanatitra hohanina dia hoatra ny manatitra ran-kisoa; Izay mandoro ditin-kazo mani-pofona ho fanati-pahatsiarovana dia hoatra ny misaotra ny sampy. Eny, tahaka ny nifidianan’ ireny ny halehany, Sy ny nifalian’ ny fanahiny tamin’ ny fahavetavetany,
He that slayeth an ox killeth a man; He that sacrificeth a lamb beheadeth a dog; He that maketh an oblation offereth swine's blood; He that burneth incense blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, And in their abominations their souls delight.
4 Dia tahaka izany kosa no hifidianako ny fampahoriana azy, Sy handatsahako ny fahatahorany ho aminy, Satria niantso Aho, fa tsy nisy namaly, Niteny Aho, fa tsy nihaino izy; Fa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko, Ary izay tsy sitrako no nofidiny.
I also will choose their calamities; What they dread I will bring upon them; Because I called, and no one answered, I spake, and they did not hear; But they did what is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I have no delight.
5 Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, Hianareo izay mangovitra noho ny teniny! Hoy ny rahalahinareo izay mankahala anareo, Ka mandroaka anareo noho ny amin’ ny anarako: Hampiseho ny voninahiny anie Jehovah, Mba ho faly mahita ny fifalianareo izahay! Kanefa ireny ho menatra kosa.
Hear the word of Jehovah, Ye that tremble at his word! “Your brethren that hate you, And thrust you out for my name's sake, have said, “May Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy!” But they shall be confounded.
6 Injany! horakoraka any an-tanàna, Ary feo ao amin’ ny tempoly, Dia feon’ i Jehovah izay mamaly ny ataon’ ny fahavalony.
A voice of tumult from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of Jehovah, rendering recompense to his enemies!
7 Fony mbola tsy nihetsi-jaza aza izy, dia niteraka; Fony mbola tsy nanaintaina aza izy, dia velon-jazalahy.
Before she was in travail, she brought forth, Before her pangs came, she was delivered of a son.
8 Iza akory no efa nandre zavatra toy izany? Iza no efa nahita zavatra toy izany? Hisy tany hateraka indray andro va, Na firenena azo atao indray miteraka? Fa raha vao narary hiteraka Ziona, dia velon-jaza izy.
Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Is a country brought forth in a day? Is a nation born at once? For as soon as Zion was in travail, she brought forth her children.
9 Izaho moa hahatonga ho eo amin’ ny fiterahana ka tsy hampiteraka va? hoy Jehovah; Izaho hampiteraka, nefa hampikombona indray va? hoy Andriamanitrao.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth, saith Jehovah; Shall I, who beget, restrain the birth? saith thy God.
10 Miaraha mifaly amin’ i Jerosalema, Ary miravoravoa aminy ianareo rehetra izay tia azy; Aoka hiara-mifaly aminy tokoa Hianareo rehetra izay malahelo noho ny aminy,
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And exult for her, all ye that love her! Be very joyful with her, all ye that mourn for her!
11 Mba hinonoanareo sy hivokisanareo amin’ ny nonony mahafaly, Eny, mba higoka ianareo, Ka hiravoravo amin’ ny haben’ ny voninahiny.
That ye may suck, and be satisfied, from the breast of her consolations, That ye may suck and be delighted with the fulness of her glory.
12 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hitarihako fiadanana tahaka ny ony izy, Ary ny voninahitry ny firenena tahaka ny renirano tondraka, Ka hinono ianareo; Ary hosakalehina ianareo sady hohindrahindraina eo ambony lohalika.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring prosperity to her like a river, And the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; Ye shall suck at the breast, Ye shall be carried on the arm, And on the knees shall ye be dandled.
13 Tahaka ny olona ampiononin-dreniny No hampiononako anareo; Eny, ao Jerosalema no hampiononana anareo.
As one whom his mother comforteth, So will I comfort you; And in Jerusalem shall ye be comforted.
14 Dia hahita izany ianareo, ka ho faly ny fonareo, Ary ny taolanareo ho tsara fitombo tahaka ny ahi-matiso; Ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia ataony fantatry ny mpanompony, Fa ho tezitra amin’ ny fahavalony kosa Izy.
Ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, And your bones shall flourish like a green plant, And the hand of Jehovah shall be manifested to his servants, And be moved with indignation against his enemies.
15 Fa, indro, Jehovah ho avy amin’ ny afo, Ary tahaka ny tadio ny kalesiny, Mba hanao famaliana amin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra, Sy ny fitenenany mafy amin’ ny lelafo.
For behold, Jehovah cometh with fire, Like a whirlwind are his chariots, To breathe forth his anger in a glowing heat, And his rebuke in flames of fire.
16 Fa ny afo sy ny sabany no ho entin’ i Jehovah hifandahatra amin’ ny nofo rehetra; Ary ho maro ny voaringan’ i Jehovah.
For with fire will Jehovah contend, And with his sword, with all flesh, And many shall be the slain of Jehovah.
17 Izay manamasìna sy manadio ny tenany ho ao an-tanimboly, Ka manaraka ny iray ao afovoany, Ary mihinana ny henan-kisoa sy ny zava-betaveta ary ny totozy; Dia hiaraka ho levona avokoa, hoy Jehovah.
They who sanctify and purify themselves in the groves, Following one in the midst, Who eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse. They shall all perish together, saith Jehovah.
18 Fa Izaho dia hamaly ny asany sy ny heviny, Ho avy ny hamoriana ny jentilisa rehetra sy ny samy hafa fiteny; Dia ho avy ireo ka hahita ny voninahitro.
For I know their works, and their thoughts; The time cometh to gather all nations and tongues together; They shall come, and behold my glory.
19 Ary hasiako famantarana eo aminy, Ary izay afaka mandositra dia hirahiko ho any amin’ ny jentilisa, Dia ho any Tarsisy sy Pola ary Lydia, izay manenjana tsipìka, Ary ho any Tobala sy Javana, Dia ho any amin’ ireo nosy lavitra izay tsy mbola nandre ny lazako; Na nahita ny voninahitro, Ary hitory ny voninahitro any amin’ ny jentilisa izy.
And I will give a sign among them, And of those that escape I will send to the nations, To Tarshish, Phul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, To the distant coasts, who never heard my name, And who never saw my glory; And they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 Ary hitondra ny rahalahinareo rehetra izy, Avy any amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, Mitaingin-tsoavaly sy ao anaty kalesy sy filanjana, Ary mitaingina ampondra sy rameva haingam-pandeha ho any Jerosalema tendrombohitro masìna, hoy Jehovah, Dia tahaka ny fitondran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny fanatitra hohanina ao anatin’ ny vilia madio ho any an-tranon’ i Jehovah;
And they shall bring all your brethren From all the nations, an offering to Jehovah, Upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules and dromedaries, To my holy mountain, Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring their gifts In pure vessels to the house of Jehovah.
21 Ary avy amin’ ireo aza no hakako ho mpisorona sy Levita, hoy Jehovah.
And of them will I also take For priests and for Levites, saith Jehovah.
22 Fa tahaka ny lanitra vaovao sy ny tany vaovao, izay hataoko, no haharitra eo anatrehako, hoy Jehovah, Dia toy izany ny haharetan’ ny taranakareo sy ny anaranareo.
For as the new heavens, And the new earth, which I make, Endure before me, saith Jehovah, So shall your race and your name endure.
23 Ary isaky ny voaloham-bolana sy isan-tsabata; Dia ho avy ny nofo rehetra hiankohoka eo anatrehako, hoy Jehovah.
And it shall be, from new moon to new moon, And from sabbath to sabbath, That all flesh shall come and worship before me, saith Jehovah.
24 Ary hivoaka izy ireny ka hijery ny fatin’ ny olona izay efa niodina tamiko; Fa ny kankany tsy ho faty, ary ny afony tsy hovonoina, Ary hataon’ ny nofo rehetra ho fahavetavetana izy.
Then shall they go forth and see The dead bodies of the men that rebelled against me! For their worm shall not die, And their fire shall not be quenched, And they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
