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? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am 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 thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?

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 wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my 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 deliverance was 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; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.

6 Le niliako an-­kaboseke ondatio, naho nimamoeko am-poroforo, vaho naretsako an-tane ty haozara’ iareo.

I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.

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 celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.

8 amy natao’e, ty hoe; Toe ondatiko iereo, anake tsy handañitse; Ie ro nandrombake iareo.

He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.

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 straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore 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; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself 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?

Then remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd 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;

That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?

13 ie niaolo iareo hitsake i lalekey hoe te soavala ampatrañey, tsy hitsikapy?

That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?

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 the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for 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 heaven, and behold from thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?

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.

Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.

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, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against 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

But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.

19 Fa ninjare hoe mbe lia’e tsy nifehe’o zahay, amy te tsy nitokaveñe amy Tahina’oy.

It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
