< Isaia 63 >

1 Ia o mb’atoy hirik’ Edome, reketse lambam-Botsrà nimenaeñeo? i minday engeñe amo saro’eoy, i maràm-bintañ’ ami’ty ha’ra’elahin-kaozara’ey? —Izaho mivolañe ami’ty hatò, fatratse te handrombake.—
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Aa vaho ino ty mahamena o saro’oo, naho ty sarimbo’o, manahake ty mpandia divay an-tsajoa ao?
— Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
3 Izaho avao ty nandialia i fanindrian-divaiy, fa ondatio, leo raike tsy nimpiamako; eka ho liàko ami’ty fifomboko, naho hatsafeko ami’ty fiforoforoako; naho nifitse amo sikikoo ty lio’ iareo vaho hene kinomatraoko o sarokoo,
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.
4 Toe androm-­pañavahañe ty an-troko ao, fa tondroke ty taom-pijebañako.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.
5 Nenteako te tsy teo ty hañolotse, niisako an-kalatsañe fe tsy teo ty hanozañe; aa le ty tañako avao ty ninday fandrombahañe ho ahiko, nanozañ’ahy ty fifomboko.
And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 Le niliako an-­kaboseke ondatio, naho nimamoeko am-poroforo, vaho naretsako an-tane ty haozara’ iareo.
And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.
7 Ho taroñeko ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà, naho ty fijejoañe Iehovà, ty amo hene raha fanjàka natolo’ Iehovà antikañeo, naho i fatariha’e ra’elahy amy anjomba’ Israeley, i natolo’e iareo ty amo fitretreza’eoy naho amo fiferenaiña’e bey heneheneo,
I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
8 amy natao’e, ty hoe; Toe ondatiko iereo, anake tsy handañitse; Ie ro nandrombake iareo.
And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.
9 Amo haferenai’ iareo iabio, le niferenaiña’e, naho nandrombake iareo ty anjelim-piatrefa’e; ty fikokoa’e, toe i haleñ’arofo’ey ty nijebaña’e iareo naho notroñe’e vaho nivavè’e amo hene andro taoloo.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.
10 Fe niola iereo, nanjehatse amy Arofo’e masiñey; aa le nifotetse re ho rafelahi’ iareo; ie avao ty nialy am’ iereo.
But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.
11 Nitiahi’ ondati’eo amy zao o andro taolo faha’ i Mosèo: Aia i nampitroatse iareo amy riakey rekets’ i mpiara-lia-rai’eiy? Aia i nampijoñe i Arofo’e Masiñey am’ iereoy?
But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,
12 ie nanehake ty fitàn-kavana’ i Mosè am-pità’e lifots’engeñey; ie nandriatse i rano aolo’ iareoy, hanoe’e tahinañe tsy modo ho aze;
his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
13 ie niaolo iareo hitsake i lalekey hoe te soavala ampatrañey, tsy hitsikapy?
— who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?
14 Manahake ty fizotsoan’ añombe mb’am-bavatane mb’eo, ty nampitofà’ i Arofo’ Iehovà iareo; izay ty niaoloa’o ondati’oo, hanoe’o tahinañe bey volonahetse.
As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Mijilova boak’ andikerañ’añe, mivazohoa boak’ amy akiba’o miavake lifots’engeñey; aia ty fahimbaña’o, naho o haozara’o ra’elahio, ty fitrekotrekon-kovi’o, naho o fiferenaiña’o ahio? nisebaneñe hao?
Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?
16 Ihe ro Rae’ay; ndra te nofi’ i Avrahame naho amoea’ Israele; Ihe ry Iehovà ro Rae’ay, i Mpijebañe Anay Haehaey ro tahina’o.
For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.
17 O ry Iehovà, ino ty ampandilara’o anay o lala’oo naho mampigañe ty tro’ay tsy hañeveñe ama’o? Mibaliha amo mpitoro’oo, amo fifokoan-dova’oo.
Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 Didý tsy ho rinoa’ iareo ondaty navahe’o iabio, fa linialia’ o rafelahi’aio i toe’o miavakey
Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Fa ninjare hoe mbe lia’e tsy nifehe’o zahay, amy te tsy nitokaveñe amy Tahina’oy.
We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
