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:
Thus hath said the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom I have taken hold of by his right hand, to subdue nations before him, even the loins of kings will I ungird, to open before him [city-]doors, and gates that they shall not be shut;
2 Hiaolo azo iraho, naho hampimiraeko o migoledogoledoñeo; ho tseratseraheko o lalam-bey torisìkeo; vaho ho pozapozaheko o sikadam-bìo;
I myself will go before thee, and proud eminences will I level: doors of brass will I break in pieces, and bolts of iron will I cut asunder.
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 unto thee the treasures of darkness, and riches hidden in secret places; in order that thou mayest know that I am the Lord, who call thee by thy name, 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.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect; and I have called thee by thy name: I have designated thee, though thou hast not known 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 none else, beside me there is no god; I assisted thee, though thou hast not known 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.
In order that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from its setting, that there is nothing without me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else;
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.
Forming the light, and creating darkness; making peace, and creating evil: I the Lord do 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.
Drop down ye heavens, and let the skies distil blessing; let the earth open and let them [all] be fruitful of prosperity, and let righteousness spring up likewise: I the Lord have created it.
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?
Woe unto him that contendeth with the one who formed him—a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Hekoheko amy manao ty hoe aman-drae’ey: Ino o nasama’oo? ndra amy rakembay, Ino ty nitsongoe’o?
Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What bringest thou forth?
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?
Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and he who hath formed him, About events to come will you ask me? concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands will ye command me?
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.
[When] I myself have made the earth, and created man upon it; [when] I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and I have ordained all their host.
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 myself have waked him up in righteousness, and all his ways will I make straight: he shall build my city, and my exiles shall he dismiss free, not for purchase-money nor for presents, saith the Lord of hosts.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of high stature, shall pass over unto thee, and thine shall they be: behind thee shall they walk; in chains shall they pass along, and unto thee shall they bow, unto thee shall they pray, [saying] Yea, only among thee is God; and there is no one else beside God.
15 Toe Andrianañahare mietake irehe ry Andrianañahare’ Israele Mpandrombakeo.
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Ho salatse iereo, eka, fonga ho an-tamberen-tane; hitrao-dia am-pivotemboteñañe o mpitsene hazomangao.
They are ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: together shall they go to confusion that are makers of idols.
17 Ry Israele, ie rinomba’ Iehovà am-pandrombahañe tsy modo le tsy ho salatse ndra daba nainai’e donia.
[But] Israel shall be helped by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed and not be confounded unto all eternity.
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 thus hath said the Lord the creator of the heavens; he, the God that formed the earth and made it; he that hath established it, —not for naught did he create it, to be inhabited did he form it: I am the Lord; and there is no one else.
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.
Not on a secret spot have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me for naught; [but] I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Mifanontona mb’etoañe; mañarinea t’ie nahabotitsike amo kilakila ondatioo! Tsy aman-kilala ze misalika voñe naho mihalaly aman-drahare tsy maharombake.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye escaped fugitives of the nations! They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
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.
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this in ancient times? told it from the beginning? is it not I the Lord? and there is no other god without me, a just god and a saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Mitoliha amako ry hene olon-taneo, soa te ho rombaheñe, amy te Izaho ro Andrianañahare, le tsy aman-tovo.
Turn unto me, so that ye may be helped, all ye ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no one else.
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 sworn, righteousness is gone out of my mouth, a word [which] shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bend, every tongue shall swear.
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, —shall men say of me, —there are righteousness and strength. Unto him shall come and be ashamed all that are incensed against him.
25 Am’ Iehovà ao, kila hahazo to ty tiri’ Israele, vaho hirañaraña an-kobay!
In the Lord shall be justified, and shall glory themselves all the seed of Israel.
