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.

Sing, O thou barren, that didst not hear! Break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that wast not in travail! For more are the children of the desolate Than of the married woman, saith Jehovah.

2 Itàro ty toen-kiboho’o, tibaho o lamba fañefen’ akiba’oo, naho ko tomoreñe; halavao o tali’oo, vaho haozaro o tsato’oo.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let the canopy of thy habitation be extended! Spare not; lengthen thy cords, And make fast thy stakes!

3 Amy t’ie hañivake mb’ankavana, naho mb’ankavia; naho handova o kilakila’ ndatio o tarira’oo, vaho hampimoneñañe o rova mangoakoakeo.

For on the right hand and on the left shalt thou burst forth with increase; And thy posterity shall inherit the nations, And people the desolate cities.

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.

Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded; Blush not, for thou shalt not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.

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 thy husband is thy Maker; Jehovah of hosts is his name. Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 Fa nitok’azo t’Iehovà hoe valy naforintseñe naho mihontoke, aa kanao valin-katora’e, hapoke hao? hoe t’i Andrianañahare.

For as a woman forsaken, and deeply afflicted, hath Jehovah recalled thee, And as a wife wedded in youth, that hath been rejected, saith thy God.

7 Andro bory ty namorin­tseñako azo; fe am-piferenaiñañe jabajaba ty hanontonako azo.

For a little moment I have forsaken thee, But with great mercy will I gather thee.

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 I hid my face from thee for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy upon thee, Saith thy redeemer, Jehovah.

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.

As in the time of the waters of Noah, so shall it be now; As I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, So do I swear that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.

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 shall depart, And the hills be overthrown, But my kindness shall not depart from thee, Nor shall my covenant of peace be overthrown, Saith Jehovah, that hath pity on thee.

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 thou afflicted, beaten with the storm, destitute of consolation! Behold, I lay thy stones in cement of vermilion, And thy foundations with sapphires.

12 Hanoeko roy o tilik’abo’oo, le am-bato mañabasà o lalam-bei’oo, vaho am-batosoa o olotsolotseo.

And I will make thy battlements of rubies, And thy gates of carbuncles, And all thy borders fill of precious stones.

13 Hene hanare’ Iehovà o ana’oo; vaho hampitomboeñe ty fierañeraña’ o keleia’oo.

All thy children shall be taught by Jehovah, And great shall be the prosperity of thy children.

14 Horizañe an-kavantañan-drehe; hitots’azo ty famorekekeañe, tsy hihembaña’o, tsy hitotok’ azo ka o fandrotsahañeo.

By righteousness shalt thou be established; Be thou far from anxiety, for thou shalt have nothing to fear, And from terror, for it shall not come near thee.

15 Mete hifanontone iereo, fa tsy ty amako; hikorovoke añatrefa’o eo ze mikitroke azo.

If any be leagued against thee, it is not by my command; Whoever shall be leagued against thee shall come over to thee.

16 Izaho ‘nio ty nanao i mpanefe mitiotioke vaen’afoy, Ie añakara’e fialiañe hitoloña’e; nanoeko ka ty mpijoy hijoia’e.

Behold, I create the smith, Who bloweth up the coals into a fire, And produceth an instrument for his work; I also create the destroyer to lay waste.

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.

Whatever weapon is formed against thee, it shall not prosper; And against every tongue that contendeth with thee, thou shalt obtain thy cause. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And the blessing which they receive from me, saith Jehovah.
