Isaia 56
1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mifahara ami’ty hatò, naho ano ty havantañañe; toe mitotoke mb’eo ty fandrombahako, vaho ho bentareñe ty havañonako.
Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Haha t’indaty manao zao naho ty ana’ondaty mivontititse ama’e; te ambena’e i Sabotsey tsy hañotà’e faly, vaho tana’e ty fità’e tsy hanoe’e raty.
Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Tsy apo’e hanao ty hoe, i renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovày: Toe havi’ Iehovà am’ondati’eo iraho; vaho tsy hado’e hanao ty hoe ty vositse: Inao! Hatae maike iraho.
Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: O vositse mpitañ’ o Sabatakoo, naho mijoboñe o mahafale ahikoo, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
For thus says the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Ho tolorako lily naho tahinañe an-trañoko ao naho am-po’ o rindrikoo ambone’ ze atao anadahy naho anak’ ampela: hitolorako tahinañe tsy ho modo, tsy haitoañe nainai’e
Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Le o renetane mpirekets’ am’ Iehovà hiatrak’ Aze, hikoko ty tahina’ Iehovà ho mpitoro’eo, ze mañambeñe i Sabotsey tsy haniva aze, vaho mifahatse amy fañinakoy:
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;
7 Ie ro hendeseko mb’amy vohiko miavakey mb’eo, vaho hampifalèko an-kivohom- pitalahoako ao; ho rambeseñe amy kitrelikoy ty enga’ holora’ iareo naho o fisoroña’ iareoo; amy te hatao: Anjombam-pitalahoa’ ze kila ondaty ty kivohoko.
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 Hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà, Mpanontone o naitoañe amo ana’ Israeleo, Mbe eo ty havoriko ho ama’e amo fa natontoko.
The Lord GOD, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered to him.
9 O ry biby an-kivok’ ao, mb’etoa hampibotseke, eka ry hene biby añ’ala ao.
All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all you beasts in the forest.
10 Goa o mpijilo’eo, Songa tsy aman-kilala; Sindre amboa bobo tsy maha-hiake; mañinofy t’ie mibabòfoke, mpitea-roro.
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Eka matity o amboao, tsy apota’iareo ty atao etsake, toe mpiarak’añondry tsy mahafohiñe, o retiañe; songa mitsile mb’an-dala’e mb’eo sindre mampitombo ty aze avao pak’ an-tsitso’e.
Yes, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Antao, hoe iereo, Hangalake divay, hampiboboke ty tron-tika an-toake; le hanahake ty andro toy avao ty hamaray, fe ampitoaboreñe.
Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
