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.
Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 Tsy hikoikoike re tsy hampipoña-peo, le tsy hampijanjiñe’e an-dalañey ty fiarañanaña’e;
He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 tsy ho potora’e ty vinda pineke vaho tsy hakipe’e ty lamese miliriliry; hampiboaha’e ty hatò ami’ty figahiña’e.
The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto 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 will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
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 created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking 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, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 hanokake ty fihaino fey hañakatse o mpirohy am-balabeio naho o mitozòke alafem-porozò añ’ieñeo.
so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 Izaho Iehovà, izay ty añarako; tsy hatoloko ami’ty ila’e o volonahekoo, ndra amo hazomangao ty engeko.
I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Heheke fa nihelañe o raha haehaeo, o raha vaoo o tseizeko henaneo; Ie mbe tsy mipoteake ty ho taroñeko ama’ areo.
The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
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 to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
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.
Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 Ho rengè’ iereo t’Iehovà, vaho hitsey ty enge’e amo tokonoseo.
They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to 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 will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 Loho ela ty nitsiñako, nihendre vaho nifoneñe; f’ie henane zao, hikoiake hoe ampela mitsongo; hisañasaña naho hisehaseha.
I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all 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 desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
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 lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 Hampiambohoeñe an-kasalarañe, o miato an-tsamposampo sinokitseo, ze manao amo sare nitranaheñeo, ‘ndrahare’ay nahareo’.
They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 Mijanjiña ry kareñeñeo, mahaisaha ry fey, hahavazohoa’ areo.
You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and 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?
Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 Mahaisake raha maro nahareo fe tsy mahaoniñe, misokake o raven-tsofio fe tsy mahatsendreñe.
You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 Niehake t’Iehovà, ty amy havañona’ey, honjoñe’e naho ho renge’e i Tsara’ey.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
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.
But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 Ia ama’ areo ty hanolo-ravembia amy zay? Ia ty hitsendreñe naho hijanjiñe amy ze añe zay?
Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
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.
Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? Is it not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened 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.
And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
