Isaia 45
1 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Korese noriza’ey, ie nihafatrareko ty fità’e havana, hampibabohañe aolo’e eo o kilakila ondatio, vaho hampibalaha’e ty am-bania’ o mpanjakao; hanokafa’e o lalam-bey añatrefa’eoo, tsy harindriñe ka o sikadañeo:
The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;
2 Hiaolo azo iraho, naho hampimiraeko o migoledogoledoñeo; ho tseratseraheko o lalam-bey torisìkeo; vaho ho pozapozaheko o sikadam-bìo;
I will go before you, and make the rough places level: the doors of brass will be broken, and the iron rods cut in two:
3 Hatoloko azo o hanañan-kaieñeo, naho ty vara mikafitse an-toetse mietake ao, soa te ho fohi’o te Izaho Iehovà; i mikanjy azo ami’ty tahina’oy; t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele.
And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.
4 Iakobe mpitorokoy, naho Israele jinobokoy, ty nikanjiako azo an-tahinañe, Izaho ty nanolotse azo añarañe ndra te tsy apota’o.
Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.
5 Izaho Iehovà vaho tsy aman-tovo, tsy eo t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Izaho avao; Izaho ty nampidiañe azo ndra te nofi’o.
I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me: I will make you ready for war, though you had no knowledge of me:
6 Soa te ho fohi’ o am-panjiriha’ i àndroy pak’ am-pitsofora’eo te tsy eo ty hatovoñ’ahy; Izaho Iehovà, vaho tsy aman-tovo.
So that they may see from the east and from the west that there is no God but me: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 Izaho ty mamoroñe o hazavàñeo, naho mamboatse o ieñeo; amboareko ty fierañerañañe, vaho foroñeko ty hankàñe; Izaho Iehovà o manao ze he’e zao.
I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
8 Mikojojoaha ry likerañeo, boak’ambone ey, ampidoaño havañonañe ry rahoñeo; misokafa ry tane, hampamokarañe fandrombahañe, ampitraofo fitiry ama’e ty havantañañe; Izaho Iehovà, ty namoroñe aze.
Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.
9 Hankàñe amy mifandietse amy Mpamboatse azey, manahake ty valàñe-tane amo valàñe-tane an-taneo! hanao ty hoe hao ty lietse amy mpamoroñe azey, Inom-bao o amboare’oo? ndra: ino’ o tsenè’oo t’ie tsy aman-tanañe?
Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?
10 Hekoheko amy manao ty hoe aman-drae’ey: Ino o nasama’oo? ndra amy rakembay, Ino ty nitsongoe’o?
Cursed is he who says to a father, To what are you giving life? or to a woman, What are you in birth-pains with?
11 Hoe t’Iehovà, t’i Masi’ Israele, Namboatse azey: Añontanea’o ahy hao o raha ho avio; halohi’o hao iraho amo ana-dahikoo, naho amo fitoloñakoo?
The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, says, Will you put a question to me about the things which are to come, or will you give me orders about my sons, and the work of my hands?
12 Izaho, ty namboatse ty tane toy; naho nitsene ondaty ama’e; Izaho, le o tañakoo, ty nandafike o likerañeo vaho liniliko o havasiaña’ iareoo.
I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.
13 Fa nitsekafeko an-kavañonan-dre, naho ho hene vantañeko o fombà’eo; Ie ty hamboatse i rovakoy, vaho havotso’e hidada, tsy amam-bili’e tsy aman-tambe, o naseseo, Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.
14 Hoe t’Iehovà: Homb’ama’o mb’eo, ty fitoloña’ i Mitsraime, naho ty kilanka’ i Kose naho o nte-Sevàý mijoalao, ie ho azo: hañorik’ azo iereo, hitsake mb’eo an-tsilisily, naho hilokolokoa’ iareo hihalaly ama’o ami’ty hoe: Toe ama’areo t’i Andrianañahare, naho tsy eo ty hatovoñ’ Aze; tsy aman’ Añahare ila’e.
The Lord says, The workmen of Egypt, and the traders of Ethiopia, and the tall Sabaeans, will come over the sea to you, and they will be yours; they will go after you; in chains they will come over: and they will go down on their faces before you, and will make prayer to you, saying, Truly, God is among you; and there is no other God.
15 Toe Andrianañahare mietake irehe ry Andrianañahare’ Israele Mpandrombakeo.
Truly, you have a secret God, the God of Israel is a Saviour!
16 Ho salatse iereo, eka, fonga ho an-tamberen-tane; hitrao-dia am-pivotemboteñañe o mpitsene hazomangao.
All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.
17 Ry Israele, ie rinomba’ Iehovà am-pandrombahañe tsy modo le tsy ho salatse ndra daba nainai’e donia.
But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.
18 Fa hoe t’Iehovà Mpamboatse o likerañeo: (i Andrianañahare namoroñe ty tane toy, ie toe nitsene vaho nampijadoñ’ azey.) Tsy namboare’e ho koake. fa namboatse iareo himoneñañe; Izaho Iehovà vaho tsy aman-tovo.
For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; he is God; the maker and designer of the earth; who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Tsy nivolañe añetake iraho, an-toetse maieñe ao; tsy nanoeko ty hoe ty tiri’ Iakobe: Ipaiao hoe voa-nè, Fe mpitaron-kavañonan-draho, Iehovà, Mpikoike entam-bantañe.
I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.
20 Mifanontona mb’etoañe; mañarinea t’ie nahabotitsike amo kilakila ondatioo! Tsy aman-kilala ze misalika voñe naho mihalaly aman-drahare tsy maharombake.
Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.
21 Taroño, aboaho ty enta’ areo; angao t’ie hisafiry! Ia ty nahafitoky zao haehae izay? Ia ty nitsey aze taolo bey añe? Tsy Izaho, Iehovà hao? Tsy aman’ Añahare naho tsy Izaho, t’i Andrianañahare vantañe naho Mpandrombake— tsy eo naho tsy Izaho avao.
Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.
22 Mitoliha amako ry hene olon-taneo, soa te ho rombaheñe, amy te Izaho ro Andrianañahare, le tsy aman-tovo.
Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Nifanta am-batako, niboak’am-bavako ao an- kavantaña’e ty tsara vaho tsy hibalike ka, soa te amako ty hitongalefa’ ze kila ongotse, ty hifantà’ ze hene fameleke.
By myself have I taken an oath, a true word has gone from my mouth, and will not be changed, that to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give honour.
24 Ho taroñeñe ahy ty hoe: Am’ Iehovà ao avao ty fandrebahañe naho ty haozarañe. Homb’ama’e mb’eo ondatio, fonga hinañanaña o malaiñe Azeo.
Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.
25 Am’ Iehovà ao, kila hahazo to ty tiri’ Israele, vaho hirañaraña an-kobay!
In the Lord will all the seed of Israel get their rights, and they will give glory to him.
