Isaia 54
1 Mirebeha ry betsiterake, ihe tsy nanaranake, mipoñafa sabo, mipazapazaha ry tsy nitsongo! Fa maro ty ana’ i vahiniy, te amo ana’ i amam-baliio, hoe t’Iehovà.
Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.
2 Itàro ty toen-kiboho’o, tibaho o lamba fañefen’ akiba’oo, naho ko tomoreñe; halavao o tali’oo, vaho haozaro o tsato’oo.
Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.
3 Amy t’ie hañivake mb’ankavana, naho mb’ankavia; naho handova o kilakila’ ndatio o tarira’oo, vaho hampimoneñañe o rova mangoakoakeo.
For I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.
4 Ko hemban-drehe fa tsy ho salatse, ko meñatse, fa tsy hinjèñe, toe ho haliño’o ty hameñaran-katora’o, vaho tsy ho tiahi’o ka ty fañinjeañe i haramavoi’oy.
Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.
5 Fa tañanjomba’o i Mpamboatse azoy, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e; t’i Masi’ Israele ro Mpijeba’o, t’i Andrianañahare’ ty tane toy ro fikanjiañe Aze.
For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.
6 Fa nitok’azo t’Iehovà hoe valy naforintseñe naho mihontoke, aa kanao valin-katora’e, hapoke hao? hoe t’i Andrianañahare.
For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.
7 Andro bory ty namorintseñako azo; fe am-piferenaiñañe jabajaba ty hanontonako azo.
For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.
8 Fifomboañe fohe ty nañetahako ama’o ty tareheko; fe am-pikokoañe migahiñe nainai’e ty hiferenaiñako, hoe t’Iehovà Mpijeba’o.
In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.
9 Toe rano’ i Noake amako itoy; amy te hambañe ami’ty nandiliako te tsy hañàmpo ty tane toy ka i rano’ i Noakey, le nititiheko ka t’ie tsy hibosehako vaho tsy ho trevoheko.
For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
10 Fa hafahañe o vohitseo, naho haveve o haboañeo; fe tsy hieng’azo ty fiferenaiñako, vaho tsy hovaeñe i fañinam-pilongoakoy, hoe t’Iehovà mpiferenaiñ’azo.
For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.
11 O ry malorè avalitaboa’ i tio-beiy, ie tsy amam-pañohò, heheke te harafeko am-bolo soa o vato’oo, naho ho tsenèko an-tsafira o faha’oo.
O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.
12 Hanoeko roy o tilik’abo’oo, le am-bato mañabasà o lalam-bei’oo, vaho am-batosoa o olotsolotseo.
I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.
13 Hene hanare’ Iehovà o ana’oo; vaho hampitomboeñe ty fierañeraña’ o keleia’oo.
And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
14 Horizañe an-kavantañan-drehe; hitots’azo ty famorekekeañe, tsy hihembaña’o, tsy hitotok’ azo ka o fandrotsahañeo.
All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.
15 Mete hifanontone iereo, fa tsy ty amako; hikorovoke añatrefa’o eo ze mikitroke azo.
See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.
16 Izaho ‘nio ty nanao i mpanefe mitiotioke vaen’afoy, Ie añakara’e fialiañe hitoloña’e; nanoeko ka ty mpijoy hijoia’e.
See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.
17 Tsy hanjofake ze fialiañe namboareñe haname azo; naho fonga hafà’o ze fameleke hitroatse hiatreatre azo an-jaka. izay ty lova’ o mpitoro’ Iehovào, vaho tamako ty havantaña’ iareo hoe t’Iehovà.
No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
