Isaia 42
1 Intoy ty mpitoroko tohañako, ty jinoboko toe mahafale troke, le nakofòko ama’e ty troko ie ty hinday ty hatò amo kilakila’ ndatio.
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.
2 Tsy hikoikoike re tsy hampipoña-peo, le tsy hampijanjiñe’e an-dalañey ty fiarañanaña’e;
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 tsy ho potora’e ty vinda pineke vaho tsy hakipe’e ty lamese miliriliry; hampiboaha’e ty hatò ami’ty figahiña’e.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgement to truth.
4 Tsy ho toiran-dre, tsy ho demoke, ampara’ te najado’e an-tane atoy ty hatò; naho hitamà i Hake o olon-taneo.
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgement on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare Mpamboatse o likerañeo naho nandafike iareo, I namelatse ty tane toy naho ze miboak’ ama’ey, ie mampikofòke ondaty ama’eo vaho manolotse arofo amo midraidraitse aoo.
Thus says the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 Izaho Iehovà, ty nitok’azo an-kavañonañe, nitintineko ty taña’o naho nampitsoloheko, vaho natoloko ho fañina am’ondatio, ho hazavàñe amo kilakila’ ndatio,
I the Lord God have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will strengthen you: and I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 hanokake ty fihaino fey hañakatse o mpirohy am-balabeio naho o mitozòke alafem-porozò añ’ieñeo.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 Izaho Iehovà, izay ty añarako; tsy hatoloko ami’ty ila’e o volonahekoo, ndra amo hazomangao ty engeko.
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 Heheke fa nihelañe o raha haehaeo, o raha vaoo o tseizeko henaneo; Ie mbe tsy mipoteake ty ho taroñeko ama’ areo.
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yes, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 Misaboa sabo vao am’ Iehovà, ibangò ry añ’olo-tane añeo; ie mizotso mb’an-driakey, naho ze he’e ama’e ao, o tokonoseo, vaho o mpimoneñe ama’eo.
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: you [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 Hampionjonem-peo ty fatram-bey naho o rova ama’eo, o tanàñe añialoa’ i Kedareo, naho hañonjo Hake t’i Selà, vaho hipaza-kafaleañe boak’ ankaboa’ o vohitseo.
Rejoice, you wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Ho rengè’ iereo t’Iehovà, vaho hitsey ty enge’e amo tokonoseo.
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 Hionjom-b’eo hoe fanalolahy t’Iehovà, ho troboe’e am-pamarahiañe hoe lahin-defoñe; hikaikaike naho hisehaseha, hisenge amo rafelahi’eo ty haozara’e.
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 Loho ela ty nitsiñako, nihendre vaho nifoneñe; f’ie henane zao, hikoiake hoe ampela mitsongo; hisañasaña naho hisehaseha.
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 Ho koaheko o vohitseo naho o haboañeo, vaho ho forejejeko o ahe’eo; hanoeko tokonose o oñe’eo, naho ho riteko o antara’eo.
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 Hendeseko mb’an-dalañe tsy nifohi’ iareo o goao; hiaoloako añ’oloñoloñe tsy nahazatse iareo; hanoeko hazavàñe aolo’ iereo eo ty ieñe, hampiraeko ze tomoantoañe. hanoeko iaby vaho tsy hapoko ampara’ t’ie fonitse.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 Hampiambohoeñe an-kasalarañe, o miato an-tsamposampo sinokitseo, ze manao amo sare nitranaheñeo, ‘ndrahare’ay nahareo’.
But they are turned back: be you utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], You are our gods.
18 Mijanjiña ry kareñeñeo, mahaisaha ry fey, hahavazohoa’ areo.
Hear, you deaf, and look up, you blind, to see.
19 Ia ty goa naho tsy i mpitorokoy? ndra kareñe manahake i irako nafantokoy? Ia ty fey mandikoatse i nampanintsiñekoy, naho goa te amy mpitoro’ Iehovày?
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yes, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 Mahaisake raha maro nahareo fe tsy mahaoniñe, misokake o raven-tsofio fe tsy mahatsendreñe.
You have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and you have not heard.
21 Niehake t’Iehovà, ty amy havañona’ey, honjoñe’e naho ho renge’e i Tsara’ey.
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 Fe ondaty nikamereñe naho nivoloseñe retoa, songa tsinepake an-koboñe ao, naetake am-balabey ao; natao ho fitsatsàñe tsy amam-pandrombake, fikopahañe, le tsy eo ty manao: Ampolio.
And I saw, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 Ia ama’ areo ty hanolo-ravembia amy zay? Ia ty hitsendreñe naho hijanjiñe amy ze añe zay?
Who [is there] amongst you that will give ear to these things? listen you to the things which are coming to pass.
24 Ia ty nanolotse Iakobe ho kopaheñe, naho Israele ho amo mpamaokeo? tsy Iehovà hao? I nanoantika hakeoy, tsy nete nañavelo amo lala’eo iereo, tsy norihe’ iareo o Tsara’eo.
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor listen to his law.
25 Aa le nadoa’e ama’e ty haforoforon-kaviñera’e, naho ty hafatraran-kotakotake; naho namiaña’e afo nañarikatok’aze fe tsy hinao’e, vaho nampiforehete’e, tsy rinambe’ ty arofo’e.
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
