Isaia 50
1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Aia ty takelam-panarahañe naneseako an-drene’ areo? Ia amo mpampisongo amakoo ty nandetahako anahareo? Toe niletahañe ty amo tahi’ areoo, vaho o fiolà’ areoo ty naneseañe ty rene’ areo.
Thus says the Lord: What is this bill of divorce for your mother, by which I have dismissed her? Or who is my creditor, to whom I have sold you? Behold, you were sold by your iniquities, and I have dismissed your mother for your wickedness.
2 Akore te tsy teo ty ondaty, te izaho nimb’eo? Ie nikaike, tsy teo ty ho nanoiñe? Bory hao ty sirako tsy hahafijebañe? Aa vaho po-kaozarañe hao raho tsy haharombake? Heheke maiheko i riakey te endahako; anoeko ratraratra o sakao; mantiñe o fia’eo kanao tsy an-drano, mate’ ty arandrano.
For I arrived, and there was no man. I called out, and there was no one who would hear. Has my hand been shortened and become small, so that I am unable to redeem? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke, I will make the sea into a desert. I will turn rivers into dry land. The fish will rot for lack of water and will die of thirst.
3 Sikinako mainte o likerañeo, añombeako gony ho saroñe.
I will clothe the heavens in darkness, and I will make sackcloth their covering.
4 Fa natolo’ i Talè, Iehovà ahiko ty famele’ o nanàrañeo, hampanintsiñako an-drehake o mondetseo; barakakaofe’e boa-maraiñe tsekafe’e o sofikoo hitsanoñe hoe t’ie mpioke.
The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.
5 Fa nisokafe’ i Talè, Iehovà o sofikoo, le tsy nanjehatse, tsy niamboho.
The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back.
6 Natoloko amo mpandafao ty lambosiko, naho amo mpañono-boloo ty fifiko; tsy naetako ami’ty ònjitse naho ami’ty rora ty tareheko.
I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me.
7 Hañolotse ahy t’i Talè, Iehovà, aa le tsy nisalatse; nampigañeko hoe vato-paike ty tareheko, le fantako te tsy ho meñatse;
The Lord God is my helper. Therefore, I have not been confounded. Therefore, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded.
8 fa marine ao i Mpañatò ahikoy. Ia ty hifañotake amako? Antao songa hiongake; Ia ty rafelahiko? Angao re hitotoke amako.
He who justifies me is near. Who will speak against me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him approach me.
9 I Talè, Iehovà ro mpañolotse ahy; ia ka ty hamatse ahy? Fonga hihamodo hoe tsirodea; ho vazañem-pizara.
Behold, the Lord God is my helper. Who is the one who would condemn me? Behold, they will all be worn away like a garment; the moth will devour them.
10 Ia ama’ areo ty mañeveñe am’ Iehovà, naho mañorike ty feo’ i mpitoro’ey? Aa ndra t’ie mañavelo añ’ieñe ie tsy aman-kazavàñe, le hiatoa’e ty tahina’ Iehovà, vaho hirampia’e t’i Andrianañahare’e.
Who is there among you who fears the Lord? Who hears the voice of his servant? Who has walked in darkness, and there is no light in him? Let him hope in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon his God.
11 O ry mpamiañe afoo, o mpisikiñe vaen-afoo, mandià amo lebaleban’ afo’ areoo, amo vaen’afo niviañe’ areoo. zao ty hizò anahareo an-tañako t’ie handre an-anahelo.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, wrapped in flames: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have kindled. This has been done to you by my hand. You will sleep in anguish.
