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, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children 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.

“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your 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 you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in 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.

“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood 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 your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole 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 called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

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

“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.

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 you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.

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 waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke 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 depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has 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.

“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colours, and lay your foundations with 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 pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

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

All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.

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

You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.

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

Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

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

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

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 weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
