Isaia 46
1 Mibotreke ty Bele, Midrokoke ty Nebò; vavè’ o bibio, o añombe mijiny kilankañeo, ty sare’e; nampilogologoeñe o raha endese’ areoo o biby mokotseo.
Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
2 Mibokoboko iereo, mitrao-piondreke, tsy nitafete’ iareo i kilankañey; vaho songa nasese mb’am-pandrohizañe añe.
They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
3 Mijanjiña ahy ry anjomba’ Iakobeo, naho ry sehangan’ anjomba’ Israeleo, o nivesareko boak’am-pisamaha’eo, o notroñeñe boak’ an-koviñe ao
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
4 pak’ an-ka’anterañeo, Izaho ro Ie, ho babèko pak’ a maròy foty irehe; Izaho ty namboatse, izaho ty hinday; eka hotroñeko mbore hampipalireko.
Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
5 Ia ty hampañirinkiriña’ areo amako, naho hampihambaña’areo, vaho hampanahafa’ areo, soa te hifañoronkoroñe?
To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
6 Mandrarake volamena boak’ an-kotrañe ao ty ila’e, naho mandanja volafoty am-balantsy; vaho mañarama mpanefe volamena hañamboare’e ndrahare, hibokobokoa’e naho hitalahoa’e.
They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
7 Jinie’ iereo an-tsoroke, endeseñe, apo’ iereo amy toe’ey, ie mijagarodoñe eo, tsy hienga i toe’ey; eka, ndra t’ie kaikaiheñe tsy mete manoiñe, tsy haharombak’ aze amy hasosora’ey.
They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
8 Tiahio le mijadoña; ampolio an-troke ao, ry mpanan-kakeo.
Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
9 Tiahio o raha taoloo, eka haehae; te Izaho ro Andrianañahare naho tsy aman-tovo; Izaho ro Andrianañahare vaho tsy eo ty hambañe amako,
Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
10 Mitaroñe ty figadoña’e hirik’am-baloha’e, boake haehae añe o mbe tsy nanoeñeo, ami’ty hoe: Hijadoñe ty ereñereko, vaho hene hanoeko ze mahafale ty troko;
Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
11 Ho tokaveko boak’ atiñanañe añe ty voroñe mipay hena; t’indaty nisafirieko boak’ an-tsietoitane añe; eka fa nivolan-dRaho le ho henefeko, niereñeren-dRaho vaho hanoeko.
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
12 Haoño iraho, ry gan-katokeo, ry lavitse havañonañeo.
Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
13 Hendeseko marine eo ty havantañako, tsy ho lavitse, tsy halaoñe i fandrombahakoy; vaho hatoloko amy Tsione ty fandrombahañe, ho a’ Israele engeko.
I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
