Isaia 66
1 Hoe t’Iehovà: Fiambesako i likerañey, atimpaheko ty tane toy; aia arè ty traño ho lefe’ areo rafeteñe ho Ahiko? Aia ty toetse mete ho fitofàko?
This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
2 Toe kila satan-tañako; izay ty nampiboahañe o fitoloñan’ Añahareo, hoe t’Iehovà; fe ondaty zao ty henteako: ty rarake añ’arofo mikoretse, naho minevenevetse amo volakoo.
I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
3 Hoe mañe-doza ama’ ondaty ty mitombok’ añombe; hoe mamolake vozon’amboa ty mañenga vik’añondry; hoe mañenga lion-dambo ty mañenga mahakama; hoe te mitata sampondraha ty mañemboke; eka fa jinobo’iareo ty lala’iareo, naho mampinembanembañe ty tro’iareo o raha’e mampangoriñeo. o raha tiva’iareoo.
When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
4 Izaho ka ty hijoboñe ty fandilovañe iareo, vaho hafetsako am’iereo ty ihembaña’ iareo; amy te, nikanjy iraho, fe leo raike tsy nanoiñe; nitaron-dRaho, fe tsy amam-pañaoñe, te mone nanoe’ iareo haloloañe aolo’ o masokoo, vaho jinobo’ iareo ty tsy maha fale ahiko.
I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
5 Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà ry mpinevenevetse amo tsara’eo: fa nanao ty hoe o rolongo malaiñe anahareoo, o nandroak’ anahareo ami’ty añarakoo, ami’ty hoe: Itolorañ’engeñe abey t’Iehovà, hisamba’ay ty firebeha’ areo. F’ie ho salatse.
Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
6 Inay ty feon-koràke boak’an-drova ao, inao ty feo boak’ amy anjombay, ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà mañondroke avake amo rafelahi’eo:
Hear all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back what they deserve.
7 Ie mbe tsy nitsongo le fa nisamake, ie mbe tsy niavy i fanaintaiña’ey le nahatoly ana-dahy.
She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
8 Ia ty nahajanjiñe i hoe zay? Ia ty nahaisake i rahay? Hiterake añ’andro raike hao ty tane? Aboake aniany hao ty fifeheañe? Fe vata’e nitsongo ty Tsione, le nasama’e o ana’eo.
Who has ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into labor, she gave birth to her children.
9 Hampitsongoeko hao, le tsy hampisamaheko? hoe t’Iehovà; Izaho mpampisamakey hao ty handrindriñe i hoviñey? hoe t’i Andrianañahare.
Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
10 Mitraofa rebeke am’ Ierosalaime, le itraofo fifaleañe ry mpikoko aze iabio; irebeho an-kaehake ry mandala azeo.
Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns over her.
11 Soa t’ie hinono vaho hiareare ami’ty fatroa’ o fañohòa’eo; hiriota’ areo an-kafaleañe miheotse, ami’ty havokara’ o enge’eo.
Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
12 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo, ho taroñeko fierañerañañe hoe oñe, naho ty enge’ o fifelehañeo hoe torahañe mandopatse. Hinono nahareo, ho vaveñe añ’ila’e, vaho honkoñeñe añ’ongotse eo.
This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on her knees.
13 Manahake ty fañohòan-drene’e ty ana-dahy, ty hañohòako anahareo; e Ierosalaime ao t’ie hanintsiñe.
Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Ie isa’ areo le hifale añ’ arofo, naho hiraorao o taola’ areoo hoe ahetse tora’e; naho ho fohiñe te mpañimba o mpitoro’eo ty fità’ Iehovà, vaho hatreatrè’e o rafelahi’eo.
When you see this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing his enemies.
15 F’inao! Ho totsake aman’afo t’Iehova, naho hoe tangololahy o sarete’eo, hamalea’e am-piforoforo ty haviñera’e, naho añ’ afo mirebareba ty fitrevoha’ey;
Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in flames of fire.
16 Fa añ’afo ty hiatrefa’Iehovà zaka, naho am-pibara’e ze hene nofotse; fa maro ty ho zamane’ Iehovà.
The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed by the Lord.
17 Ze mañamasim-batañe naho miefetse himoaha’e an-goloboñe ao, sindre mañorike ty añivo ao, milintseñe henan-dambo, ty mampangorý, naho ty kotika, le fonga hatraoke ho mongoreñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
Those who dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says the Lord.
18 Toe hene apotako ze sata’ iareo naho o vetsevetse’ iareoo, le ho tondroke te songa hatontoko ze fifelehañe naho fameleke; ie homb’eo hahaisake ty engeko.
I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. They will come and see my glory.
19 Le hanoeko fanoroañe am’iereo ao, naho hafantoko amo nahafirimatseo, ty hañavelo mbe Tarsise, mbe Pole, mbe Lode mpitàm-pale, mbe Tobale naho mbe Iavane, mb’amo tokonose tsietoitaneo, o mboe tsy nahajanjiñe o engekoo ndra nahaisake o volonahekoo; vaho ho koiha’iereo amo fifeheañeo ty engeko;
I will give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce my glory among the nations.
20 vaho hampiavote’ iareo boak’ amo kilakila’ ndatio o longo’ areoo ho fañenga am’Iehovà ambonen-tsoavala, naho an-tsarete, naho an-tsarete mitafo, naho miningitse borìke, vaho ambone’ ty biby masìka mb’ am-bohiko miavake mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, manahake ty fibanabana’ o ana’ Israeleo o enga’ iareoo am-pinga malio mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà.
They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
21 Boak’ am’ iereo ao ty hangàlako mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy, hoe t’Iehovà.
I will choose some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 Fa hambañe amy te ho añatrefako nainai’e o likeram-baoo naho i tane vao hanoekoy, hoe t’Iehovà, te hifahatse eo ka ty tiri’ areo naho ty tahina’ areo.
As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
23 Ho tondroke ka te boak’ami’ty jiri-bolañe pak’ am-pipeaha’e, naho hirik’ an-tSabata pak’ an-tSabata, le homb’añatrefako eo ze hene veloñe, hitalaho, hoe t’Iehovà.
Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, says the Lord.
24 Hiavotse ka iereo hisamba o fate’ ondaty niola amakoo; tsy ho modo ty oletse ama’e, tsy hakipeke ty afo ama’e, ie hampangorý ze atao nofotse.
They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
