Isaia 61
1 Amako t’i Arofo’ i Talè, Iehovà; ie noriza’ Iehovà hinday talily soa amo mpirèkeo; nirahe’e hamolonkoñe ty jagobo, hitaroñe fidadàñe amo am-balabeio, naho fañahañe amo mirohio;
The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
2 hitsey ty taom-pañisoha’ Iehovà naho ty androm-pañondrohan’Añahare, hañohòa’e o mihontokeo,
To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
3 hamahana’e ze mirovetse e Tsione ao, hampisabakae’e voñe halimbe ty lavenoke, tavon-kaehake hasolo ty fandalàñe, saravim-bolonahetse halimbe ty hamonjèrañe. Hatao kilen-kavañonañe, ty fambolèa’ Iehovà hisengea’iareo ty volonahe’e.
To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
4 Le hamboare’ iareo o tanàn-taoloo, hatroa’ iareo o nangoakoake haehaeo, vaho ho vaoe’ iareo o rova niantoeñeo, o nibangý fa tariratse maro izay.
And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
5 Hiavotse hamahañe o lia-rai’oo o ambahinio, le ho mpiava’o naho mpañeteke o vahe’oo ty renetane.
And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
6 Fe hatao mpisoro’ Iehovà nahareo, hatao ondatio ty hoe: Mpiatrak’ an’Andrianañahare’ay; ho kamae’ areo ty vara’ o fifeheañeo, vaho ho sengè’ areo ty volonahe’ iareo.
But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
7 Kanao ni-roe ty hasalara’ areo, naho nirebeha’ iareo ty hoe: Anjara’ iareo ty fivoteboteñañe, le hanañe roe an-tane’ iareo ao, vaho ho nainai’e am’ iareo ao ty hafaleañe.
As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
8 Fa mpitea ty hatò izaho Iehovà; hejeko ty kametse naho ty lilatse; hondrohako ami’ty hahiti’e iereo, naho hanoako fañina tsy modo.
For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
9 Ho fohiñe amo kilakila ondatio o tarira’ iareoo, naho am’ondatio o taminga’ iareoo; hapota’ ze mahaoniñe t’ie ty tiry nitahie’ Iehovà.
And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
10 Handia taroba am’ Iehovà iraho, hirebek’ aman’ Añahareko ty troko; amy te siniki’e sikim-pandrombahañe, Nasaro’e sarimbom-pandrebahañe, le sinabaka’e hoe fañombeam-pañenga i sabaka’ey, vaho nihaminañe hoe enga-vao amo bange’eo.
I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
11 Toe hambañe ami’ty fampitiria’ i taney o hatae’eo naho ty fampiporotsaha’ ty goloboñe o nitongiseñe ama’eo; ty hampipitsiha’ i Talè, Iehovà fandrebahañe naho engeñe añatrefa’ ze kilakila’ondaty.
For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
