¹Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

¹[Ny amin'ny ota, izay efitra fisarahana, sy ny fandravana azy] Indro, ny tànan'i Jehovah tsy fohy, fa mahavonjy, ary ny sofiny tsy lalodalovana, fa mahare;

²But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

²Fa ny helokareo no efitra mampisaraka anareo amin'Andriamanitrareo, ary ny fahotanareo no mampiafina ny tavany aminareo, ka dia tsy mihaino Izy.

³For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

³Fa ny tananareo dia voaloto amin'ny rà, ary ny rantsan-tananareo amin'ny heloka; ny molotrareo miteny lainga, ny lelanareo mibedibedy faharatsiana.

⁴None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁴Tsy misy mitory olona araka ny fahamarinana, na mandahatra ny rariny araka izay mahatoky; matoky ny tsy izy sy miteny zava-poana izy; Torontoronina fampahoriana izy ka miteraka fandozana.

⁵They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

⁵Mikotrika ny atodin'ny menarana izy ary manenona ny tranon-kala; Izay homana ny atodin'ireny dia ho faty, fa raha poritra iny, dia menarana no miporitsaka avy ao.

⁶Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

⁶Ny tranon-kalany tsy azo atao fitafiana, ary ny asany tsy mahatafy azy; ny asany dia asa fampahoriana, ary asan-doza no eo an-tànany.

⁷Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

⁷Ny tongony miriotra ho amin'ny ratsy sy mimaona handatsaka rà marina; ny fisainany dia fisainana fampahoriana, fandravana sy fandringanana no eo amin'ny alehany.

⁸The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

⁸Ny lalan'ny fiadanana tsy fantany; ary tsy misy rariny ao amin'ny alehany; lalana miolakolaka ny lalany, ka na iza na iza mandia izany dia tsy mahita fiadanana.

⁹Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

⁹Ary noho izany dia lavitra antsika ny rariny, ary ny fahamarinana tsy mahatratra antsika; miandry ny mazava isika, nefa indro ny maizina, ary fahazavana, fa mbola ao amin'ny aizim-pito ihany no andehanantsika.

¹⁰We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

¹⁰Mitsapatsapa manara-drindrina tahaka ny jamba isika eny, mitsapatsapa tahaka ny tsy mana-maso; tafintohina amin'ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin'ny maizimaizina isika, ary eo amin'ny matanjaka dia tahaka ny maty isika. [Na: any an-efitra]

¹¹We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

¹¹Isika rehetra mampierona tahaka ny bera ary mitoloko tokoa tahaka ny voromailala; miandry ny rariny isika, nefa tsy misy, ary ny famonjena, nefa lavitra antsika izany.

¹²For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

¹²Fa efa betsaka eo anatrehanao ny fiodinanay, ary ny fahotanay miampanga anay; eny, tsaroanay ny fahadisoanay, ary ny helokay dia fantatray,

¹³In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

¹³Dia ny miodina sy ny mandà an'i Jehovah, ary ny miala amin'ny fanarahana an'Andriamanitray, ny miteny fampahoriana sy fikomiana, ary ny mamorona sy mamoaka teny lainga avy ao am-po. [Heb. torontoronina]

¹⁴And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

¹⁴Nahemotra ny rariny, ary mijanon-davitra ny hitsiny; fa tafintohina eny an-kalalahana ny fahamarinana, ary ny hitsim-po tsy mahazo miditra.

¹⁵Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

¹⁵Eny, tsy eo ny fahamarinana; ary izay mifady ny ratsy dia hoatra ny manolo-tena hobabom'ny sasany. Ary hitan'i Jehovah ny tsi-fisian'ny rariny, ka nataony fa ratsy izany;

¹⁶And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

¹⁶Eny, hitany fa tsy nisy olona, sady talanjona Izy, satria tsy nisy mpanalalana, ka dia ny sandriny ihany no nanao famonjena ho Azy, ary ny fahamarinany no nanohana Azy.

¹⁷For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

¹⁷Niakanjo fahamarinana tahaka ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra Izy, ary fiarovan-doha famonjena no teo amin'ny lohany; ary niakanjo ny akanjo famaliana Izy eny, nandray ny fahasaro-piaro ho akanjo ivelany Izy.

¹⁸According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

¹⁸Araka ny asa natao no hamaliany, dia fahatezerana mirehitra ho an'ny fahavalony, famaliana ho an'ny rafiny; ary ny nosy dia hovaliany tokoa.

¹⁹So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

¹⁹Ary hatrany andrefana dia hatahotra ny anaran'i Jehovah ny olona ary ny voninahiny hatramin'ny fiposahan'ny masoandro; ary ny fihaviny dia ho toy ny rano maria, Ampandehanin'ny Fanahin'i Jehovah.[Na: Fa raha avy toy ny ony ny fahavalo. Ny Fanahin'i Jehovah hanangana faneva hisakana azy]

²⁰And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

²⁰Dia hisy Mpanavotra ho tonga any Ziona, Ho amin'ny Jakoba izay miala amin'ny fahadisoana, hoy Jehovah.Raha Izaho, dia izao no fanekeko aminy, hoy Jehovah: Ny Fanahiko Izay ao aminao sy ny teniko izay nataoko teo am-bavanao dia tsy hiala amin'ny vavanao, na amin'ny vavan'ny taranakao, na amin'ny vavan'ny taranaky ny taranakao, hatramin'izao ka ho mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah.

²¹As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

²¹Raha Izaho, dia izao no fanekeko aminy, hoy Jehovah: Ny Fanahiko Izay ao aminao sy ny teniko izay nataoko teo am-bavanao dia tsy hiala amin'ny vavanao, na amin'ny vavan'ny taranakao, na amin'ny vavan'ny taranaky ny taranakao, hatramin'izao ka ho mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah.
