Isaia 26
1 Amy andro zay le ho takasieñe e Iehodà ao ty sabo toy: Manan-drova maozatse tika; tinendre’e ho fandrombahañe o kijoly naho fikalañañeo.
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
2 Sokafo o lalam-beio, himoaha’ i fifeheañe vantañe mpitàm-patokisañey.
Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— one that remains faithful.
3 Hambena’o am-pierañerañan-to, ze amam-pitsakoreañe mifahatse ama’o, amy t’ie miato ama’o.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.
4 Iatò nainai’e t’Iehovà, amy te lamilamy tsy mb’ia ho modo t’Iehovà, Ià.
Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
5 Fa nakapotra’e o mpimoneñe an-kaboañeo, linama’e ambane’ i rova miligiligiy, nilamahe’e an-tane eo, eka, mb’an-deboke ao.
For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
6 Ho lian-tomboke, ty fandia’ o mpisotrio, ty fidraidraita’ o boròkao.
Feet trample it down— the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor.
7 Lalañe mira ho amo vañoñeo izay ihe, ry Andindimoneñe, ro mañajary ty lala’ o vantañeo.
The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.
8 Toe an-dala’ o fizaka’oo ry Iehovà, ty nitamà’ay Azo; i tahina’oy naho ty fitiahiañe Azo ro fisalalàn’arofo’ay.
Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.
9 Nirie’ ty fiaiko irehe te haleñe; eka, nitsoek’azo an-troko ato; amy te, ie ifetsaha’ o fizaka’oo ty tane toy, le hioke havantañañe ondatio.
My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
10 Ndra te isoheñe o lo tserekeo, tsy ho hai’e o havañonañeo; fa hikitro-karatiañe an-tanen-kavantañañe ao, vaho tsy ho oni’e ty volonahe’ Iehovà.
Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
11 Mionjoñe añ’abo ey ty fità’o, ry Iehovà, f’ie tsy isa’ iareo; zoe’ iareo an-kasalarañe ty fahimbaña’o am’ ondatio; eka, ho forototoen-afo o rafelahi’oo.
O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!
12 Ry Iehovà, toloro fierañerañan-jahay; fa toe Ihe ro nanao ze hene fitoloña’ay.
O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
13 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, fa nifehèn-drotompo ila’ te ama’o zahay, f’Ihe avao ty toñone’ay tahinañe.
O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we confess.
14 Tsy ho veloñe o mateo, tsy hitroatse o loloo; izay ty namara’o naho nandrotsaha’o iareo vaho fonga nimodoe’o ty fitiahiañe iareo.
The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.
15 Nonjoneñe amo kilakila ondatio irehe, ry Iehovà, eka nitoabotse amo kila taneo; iasiañe pak’ añ’olotse tsietoimone’ ty tane toy añe.
You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Ry Iehovà, ie niampoheke te nipaia’ iareo Azo, ampianjiñeñe ty nampidoandoaña’ iareo halaly ama’o ty amy fandilova’o iareoy.
O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
17 Manahake ty rakemba mitsongo, ie mitotoke ty hisamaha’e, ie manaintaiñe vaho mikoaike amo fitsongoa’eo; hoe izay zahay ry Iehovà tañ’atrefa’o eo.
As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.
18 Toe nivesatse zahay, nangotsokotsoke, fe hoe tioke avao ty naboloa’ay; tsy nañeneke famotsorañe amy taney; mbore tsy nahatoly ondaty ho mpimone’ ty tane toy.
We were with child; we writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.
19 Ho veloñe o nivetrake ama’oo, hitroatse i sandriko nihomakey, mivañona naho misaboa ry mpitoboke an-deboke ao, fa zono maraindray o zono’oo, vaho haboloa’ i taney o niloloo.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.
20 Antao ry ondatiko, mihovà añ’anjomba’o ao, arindrino o lalañe amboho’oo mietaha hey ampara’ te heneke i fifomboañey.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
21 Heheke! miakatse i toe’ey t’Iehovà handilo o mpimoneñ’ an-tane atoio ty amo hakeo’eo; haboa’ i taney ty lio niorike ama’e, vaho tsy ho lembefa’e ka o vinono’eo.
For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.
