¹Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

¹[Ny fahalehibiazan'i Jehovah, izay miseho amin'ny fitondrany ny firenena sy ny fiarovany ny Isiraely, ary ny fanambarany rahateo ny zavatra mbola ho avy] Mangina hihaino ahy ianareo, ry nosy, ary aoka handroso hery ny firenena; Aoka hanatona izy, ka dia hiteny; Andeha isika hifanatona eo amin'ny fitsarana.

²Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.

²Iza no nanaitra avy any atsinanana ilay nomban'ny fahamarinana tamin'ny diany rehetra, ary nanolotra ny firenena ho eo anatrehany, ka nampanapahiny ireo mpanjaka izy? Iza no nanao ny sabany ho tahaka ny vovoka, ary ny tsipìkany ho tahaka ny vodivary voapaoka? [Na: nantsoin'ny fahamarinana hanaraka azy]

³He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

³Mipaoka ireo izy ka mandroso soa aman-tsara any amin'izay lalana tsy mbola nodiavin'ny tongony.

⁴Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

⁴Iza moa no nanao sy nahavita izany, sady miantso ny taranaka maro hatramin'ny taloha? Izaho Jehovah no voalohany, ary hatramin'ny farany dia mbola Izaho ihany no Izy.

⁵The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

⁵Ny nosy nahita ka raiki-tahotra; Toran-kovitra ny vazan-tany dia nanatona izy ka tonga.

⁶They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

⁶Samy nanampy ny namany avy izy rehetra, ary samy nilaza tamin'ny rahalahiny avy hoe: Matokia.

⁷So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

⁷Koa ny mpandrafitra dia nampahery ny mpanefy volamena, ary izay nandama tamin'ny tantanana nampahery izay nively teo amin'ny riandriana, ka hoy izy, miantso ny solohoto: Tsara ity, dia nohomboany mafy tamin'ny hombo izy mba tsy hihozongozona.

⁸But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

⁸Fa ianao kosa, ry Isiraely mpanompoko, sy Jakoba, izay nofidiko, Taranak'i Abrahama sakaizako,

⁹Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

⁹Hianao izay efa notantanako avy tany amin'ny faran'ny tany ary nantsoiko avy tany an-tsisiny ka nilazako hoe: Mpanompoko ianao, Efa nofidiko ka tsy mba nariako:

¹⁰Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹⁰Aza matahotra ianao, fa momba anao Aho; Ary aza miherikerika foana, fa Izaho no Andriamanitrao; Mampahery anao Aho sady mamonjy anao; Eny, mitantana anao amin'ny tanana ankavanan'ny fahamarinako Aho.

¹¹Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

¹¹Indro, ho menatra sy hangaihay izay rehetra tezitra aminao, ho tsinontsinona izy; Eny, ho levona izay miady aminao.

¹²Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

¹²Hotadiavinao izay mifanditra aminao, fa tsy ho hitanao, ary ho tahaka ny tsinontsinona sy ny zava-poana izay miady aminao.

¹³For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

¹³Fa Izaho Jehovah Andriamanitrao no mitantana ny tananao ankavanana, dia ilay manao aminao hoe: Aza matahotra, Izaho no hamonjy anao.

¹⁴Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁴Aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba kankana, dia ianareo, ry Isiraely olom-bitsy, Izaho no hamonjy anao, hoy Jehovah, Ary ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely no Mpanavotra anao.

¹⁵Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

¹⁵Indro, ataoko kodia vy vaovao misy nify maranitra ianao; Hively ny tendrombohitra ianao ka hanorotoro azy ho vovoka ary hanao ny havoana ho tahaka ny akofa.

¹⁶Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶Hikororoka azy ianao, ka hopaohin'ny rivotra izy, ary ny tafio-drivotra hanely azy; Fa ianao kosa dia hiravoravo amin'i Jehovah, ary ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely no ho reharehanao.

¹⁷When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

¹⁷Ny ory sy ny malahelo mitady rano, fa tsy mahita, ary ny lelany mainan'ny hetaheta; Izaho Jehovah no hihaino azy, Izaho, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tsy hahafoy azy;

¹⁸I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁸Hampiboika renirano ao amin'ny tendrombohitra mangadihady Aho ary loharano ao amin'ny lohasaha; Hanao ny efitra ho farihy Aho ary ny tany karankaina no loharano miboiboika.

¹⁹I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

¹⁹Hampaniry hazo sedera sy akasia sy rotra ary oliva any an-efitra Aho ary kypreso sy pina sy bokso eny an-tani-hay, [myrta][Heb. oliva maniry ho azy]

²⁰That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

²⁰Mba ho hitany sy ho fantany sy hoheveriny ary ho azony an-tsaina fa ny tànan'i Jehovah no nanao izany, ary ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely no nahary izany.

²¹Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

²¹Alaharo eto ny teninareo, hoy Jehovah; Asehoy izay mahamarina ny anareo, hoy ny Mpanjakan'i Jakoba.[Heb. fiarovana mafy]

²²Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

²²Aoka hampanatoniny ka hasehony amintsika izay zavatra mbola ho avy; Ambarao izay zavatra taloha, mba hoheverinay ka ho fantatray izay hiafarany, na ilazao izay zavatra ho avy izahay. [Heb. zavatra voalohany]

²³Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

²³Ambarao anay izay zavatra ho avy rahatrizay, mba ho fantatray fa andriamanitra ianareo; Eny, manaova soa, na manaova ratsy, mba hitaha isika, ka samy hahita.

²⁴Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

²⁴Indro, ianareo dia naman'ny tsinontsinona, ary ny asanareo dia naman'ny zava-poana; vetaveta izay mifidy anareo.

²⁵I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

²⁵Nanaitra ny anankiray avy tany avaratra Aho, ka tonga izy. Dia ny anankiray avy any amin'ny fiposahan'ny masoandro, izay hiantso ny anarako, ary hanosihosy ny mpanapaka tahaka ny fanosihosy feta izy, ary tahaka ny mpanefy vilany mihosy tanimanga.

²⁶Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

²⁶Iza no nitory izany hatramin'ny voalohany, mba ho fantatray? Ary hatry ny fony taloha, mba hataonay hoe: Marina? Tsy nisy nanambara, eny, tsy nisy nitory; Ary tsy nisy nandre ny teninareo.

²⁷The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

²⁷Izaho no voalohany Izay milaza amin'i Ziona hoe: Indreo, indreo izy, sady manome mpitondra teny soa mahafaly ho an'i Jerosalema.

²⁸For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

²⁸Dia nijery Aho, kanjo tsy nisy olona, eny, nojereko ireny kanjo tsy nisy mpanolo-tsaina hamaly Ahy, raha manontany azy Aho.Indro, zava-poana avokoa izy rehetra; Tsinontsinona ny asany; Rivotra sy zava-poana ny sampiny anidina.

²⁹Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

²⁹Indro, zava-poana avokoa izy rehetra; Tsinontsinona ny asany; Rivotra sy zava-poana ny sampiny anidina.
