Isaia 25
1 Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahareko irehe, hañonjoñ’Azo iraho, ho bangoeko ty tahina’o, ty amo fitoloña’o fanjàkao; ihe nisafiry haehae am-pigahiñañe naho an-katò.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Fa nanoe’o votre ty rova, naho fianto i rova fatra-piaroy; tsy rova ka i anjomban’ ambahiniy, vaho tsy hamboareñe ka.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Aa le hañonjoñe Azo ondaty manjofakeo, hañeveñe ama’o o rovam-pifeheañe mitromoroñeo.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Fa nifipalira’ o rarakeo irehe, fitsoloha’ o misotrio, fiampirañe an-tio bey, fialofañe amy hatrovohañey; naho hoe tio-bey an-kijoly ty fikofoha’ o maharevendreveñeo.
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 Manahake ty hatrevohañe an-tane maike eo, ty hampitsiña’o ty fikoraha’ o ambahinio; hambañe ami’ty talinjon-drahoñe amy fipisañañey, ty hampijomohoñe ty fibekoa’ o mangosasàkeo.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 Ami’ty vohitse toy ty hañalankaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy sabadidake amo raha mafirio ze kila ondaty, takataka aman-divay natadrètse, ty vondrake pea’ ty betron-taolañe, vaho divay soa-filomboke.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Le hagedra’e ami’ty vohitse toy ty fikolopofañe ami’ty vinta’ ze kila-ondaty naho ty marerarera mandrongoñe o fifeheañeo.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Hatele’e ho mongotse ty havilasy, vaho ho faohe’ i Rañandria Iehovà amy ze hene laharañe ty ranompihaino; hafaha’e ami’ty tane toy ty sirika’ondati’eo; izay ty nitsarà’ Iehovà.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Ho tseizeñe amy andro zay, ty hoe: Toe Ie t’i Andrianañaharentika nitamañe handrombake an-tikañey, Ie Iehovà niliñisan-tikañey, antao hifale naho hirebeke amy fandrombaha’ey.
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Fa ami’ty vohitse toy ty hitofà’ ty fità’ Iehovà, vaho ho lialiàñe an-toe’e eo t’i Moabe, hambañe ami’ty fandialiàñe ty ahetse an-ditsake ao.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Le ho velare’e añivo’iareo o fità’eo, manahake ty famelara’ ty pilaño hilañoa’e, fe harèke ty firengevoha’e rekets’ o taña-politì’eo
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 naho harotsa’e ambane o kijoli’o fatratse mitiotiotseo, eka, halama’e; hazevo’e an-tane, toe an-deboke ao.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
