Isaia 51
1 Haoño iraho, ry mpañori-kavantañañe, ry mipay Iehovà; itoliho i lamilamy nampitserahañe anahareoy, naho i koboñe nihaliañe anahareoy.
Give ear to me, you who are searching for righteousness, who are looking for the Lord: see the rock from which you were cut out, and the hole out of which you were taken.
2 Haraharao t’i Avrahame rae’ areo, naho i Sarae nisamake anahareo am-panaintaiñañe, amy t’ie nirery avao te tinokako, le nitahieko vaho nampitozantozañeko.
Let your thoughts be turned to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth: for when he was but one, my voice came to him, and I gave him my blessing, and made him a great people.
3 Fa nohoñe’ Iehovà t’i Tsione; hene nampanintsiñe’e o tanan-taolo’eo, naho nampanahafe’e amy Edene o ratraratra’eo, le hambañe amy golobo’ Iehovày o liolio’eo; ho tendrek’ ao ty firebehañe naho ty hafaleañe, ty fañandriañañe naho ty feom-pisaboañe.
For the Lord has given comfort to Zion: he has made glad all her broken walls; making her waste places like Eden, and changing her dry land into the garden of the Lord; joy and delight will be there, praise and the sound of melody.
4 Haoño iraho ry ondatiko, toloro ravembia ry fifeheako; fa hiboak’ amako ty Hàke, vaho havereko ami’ty havañonako ho failo’ ondatio.
Give attention to me, O my people; and give ear to me, O my nation; for teaching will go out from me, and the knowledge of the true God will be a light to the peoples.
5 Fa marine ty havantañako, fa mionjom-beo ty fandrombahako, vaho hizaka ondatio o sirakoo; handiñe ahy o tokonoseo, hiato ami’ty sirako.
Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.
6 Andrandrao mb’andikerañe eñe o fihaino’ areoo, le isao ty tane ambane atoy; fa himosaoñe hoe hatoeñe o likerañeo, naho hihamodo hoe saroñe ty tane toy, naho hihomake hoe izay ka ondatio; fe ho nainai’e donia ty fandrombahako vaho le lia’e tsy haitoañe ty havantañako.
Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.
7 Mañaoña ahy ry mahafohin-kavañonañeo, ry ondaty mitan-Kake añ’arofoo; ko ihembaña’areo ty ifañembaña’ondatio, vaho ko ilonjera’ areo o inje’iareoo.
Give ear to me, you who have knowledge of righteousness, in whose heart is my law; have no fear of the evil words of men, and give no thought to their curses.
8 Ie ho hanem-bararaoke hoe lamba, naho habotsen-oletse hoe volonañondry; fe nainai’e kitro añ’afe’e ty havantañako, naho pak’ an-tariratse tsitso’e añe ty fandrombahako.
For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.
9 Mivañona, Mivañona, mañombea haozarañe ry fità’ Iehovà! Mivañona manahake o andro taoloo manahake o tariratse haehaeo. Tsy Ihe hao ty nampitseratserake i Rahabae? ty nitomboke i fañaneñey?
Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?
10 Tsy Ihe hao ty nañamaike i riakey, o rano’ i laleke mangonkoñeio; mbore nanoa’o lalañe an-daleke ao hitsaha’ o jinebañeo?
Did you not make the sea dry, the waters of the great deep? did you not make the deep waters of the sea a way for the Lord's people to go through?
11 Aa le himpoly o vinili’ Iehovà fiaiñeo, higodañe an-tsabo mbe Tsione mb’eo, nainai’e hilolohe hafaleañe, naho handia taroba an-kaliforan-kaehake, vaho hihelañe añe ty haoreañe naho ty fiselekaiñañe.
Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
12 Izaho, le Izaho ty mañohò anahareo, Ia-mb’arè irehe te ho hembañe am’ondaty tsi-mahay tsy hivetrakeo, naho amo ana-ondaty nanoen-ko ahetseo?
I, even I, am your comforter: are you so poor in heart as to be in fear of man who will come to an end, and of the son of man who will be like grass?
13 Nihaliño’o hao t’Iehovà, Andrianamboatse azo, I namelatse o likerañeo naho nañoreñe o faha’ ty tane toio? ihe miriatsandry lomoñandro ty amy haleveleve’ i mpamorekeke mihentseñe handrotsakeiy! Fa aia ty haromota’ i mpamolevoley?
And you have given no thought to the Lord your Maker, by whom the heavens were stretched out, and the earth placed on its base; and you went all day in fear of the wrath of the cruel one, when he was making ready for your destruction. And where is the wrath of the cruel one?
14 Ho hahàñe aniany ty nasese-androhy; tsy hizotso mb’ am-pihomahañe mb’an-tsikeokeoke ao, vaho tsy hieren-kaneñe.
The prisoner, bent under his chain, will quickly be made free, and will not go down into the underworld, and his bread will not come to an end.
15 Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ty mampivalitaboake i riakey vaho nampitroñe o onja’eo— Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.
16 Fa najoko am-palie’o ao o volakoo; naho nanakoñe azo ami’ty talinjon-tañako, soa te hambole i likerañey, naho hañoreñe ty tane toy, vaho hanao ty hoe amy Tsione: Ondatiko ‘n-iheo.
And I have put my words in your mouth, covering you with the shade of my hand, stretching out the heavens, and placing the earth on its base, and saying to Zion, You are my people.
17 Mivañona, Mivañona, mitroara ry Ierosalaime, fa ninoma’o am-pità’ Iehovà i fitovim-piforoforoa’ey; ie gineno’o reketse karafo’e ty fitihem-pivembeñañe, vaho nikapaihe’o.
Awake! awake! up! O Jerusalem, you who have taken from the Lord's hand the cup of his wrath; tasting in full measure the wine which overcomes.
18 Tsy eo ty hiaolo aze ami’ty hatozantoza’ o anake nisamahe’eo; tsy eo ty mañoho-pitañe aze amo ana-dahi’e tsifotofoto nibeize’eo.
She has no one among all her children to be her guide; not one of the sons she has taken care of takes her by the hand.
19 O raha roe zao ty hifetsak’ ama’o; ia ty handala azo? Ty fangoakoahañe naho ty fandrotsahañe, ty kerè vaho ty fibara; aia ty hañohòako azo.
These two things have come on you; who will be weeping for you? wasting and destruction; death from need of food, and from the sword; how may you be comforted?
20 Fa toirañe o ana-dahi’oo, mifitake amo lohan-dala’o iabio, hoe fanaloke tsinepake an-karato; lifore’ ty fifombo’ Iehovà, ty fañendahan’ Añahare’o.
Your sons are overcome, like a roe in a net; they are full of the wrath of the Lord, the punishment of your God.
21 Ehe janjiño zao ry mpisotry, naho ry mpijike—fe tsy an-divay;
So now give ear to this, you who are troubled and overcome, but not with wine:
22 Hoe t’Iehovà Talè naho i Andrianañahare’o milozoke ty am’ ondati’eoy: Hehe te rinambeko am-pità’o ty fanovim-pivembeñañe, naho ty fitovin-kaviñerako; le lia’e tsy hinoma’o ka;
This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:
23 Fa hapoko an-taña’ o mamorekeke azoo; o nanao ty hoe ami’ty sandri’oo: Mibaboha handialià’ay; le nampanahafe’o amy taney ty lambosi’o, vaho amy damokey hijelajelaña’iareo.
And I will put it into the hand of your cruel masters, and of those whose yoke has been hard on you; who have said to your soul, Down on your face! so that we may go over you: and you have given your backs like the earth, even like the street, for them to go over.
