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.—
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
2 Aa vaho ino ty mahamena o saro’oo, naho ty sarimbo’o, manahake ty mpandia divay an-tsajoa ao?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
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,
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
4 Toe androm-pañavahañe ty an-troko ao, fa tondroke ty taom-pijebañako.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
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.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
6 Le niliako an-kaboseke ondatio, naho nimamoeko am-poroforo, vaho naretsako an-tane ty haozara’ iareo.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on 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 tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
8 amy natao’e, ty hoe; Toe ondatiko iereo, anake tsy handañitse; Ie ro nandrombake iareo.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
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.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
10 Fe niola iereo, nanjehatse amy Arofo’e masiñey; aa le nifotetse re ho rafelahi’ iareo; ie avao ty nialy am’ iereo.
But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
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 we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
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;
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 ie niaolo iareo hitsake i lalekey hoe te soavala ampatrañey, tsy hitsikapy?
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
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.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
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?
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
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.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
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.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Didý tsy ho rinoa’ iareo ondaty navahe’o iabio, fa linialia’ o rafelahi’aio i toe’o miavakey
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Fa ninjare hoe mbe lia’e tsy nifehe’o zahay, amy te tsy nitokaveñe amy Tahina’oy.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
