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 coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' — 'I, speaking 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] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'

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,

— 'A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

4 Toe androm-­pañavahañe ty an-troko ao, fa tondroke ty taom-pijebañako.

For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath 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 look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath — it hath supported me.

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

And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.

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,

The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.

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

And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons — they lie not, and He is to them for a 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 distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth 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.

And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath 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?

And He remembereth the days of old, Moses — his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?

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;

Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.

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

Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble 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 a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to 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 attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.

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, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our Father, Our redeemer from the age, [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 causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back 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

For a little while did Thy holy people possess, 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 been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
