¹Keep silent towards Me, O isles, And the peoples pass on [to] power, They come nigh, then they speak, `Together — to judgment we draw near.`

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 stirred up from the east a righteous one? He calleth him to His foot, He giveth before him nations, And kings He causeth him to rule, He giveth [them] as dust [to] his sword, 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 pursueth them, he passeth over in safety A path with his feet he entereth not.

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

⁴Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, 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.

⁵Seen have isles and fear, ends of the earth tremble, They have drawn near, yea, they come.

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

⁶Each his neighbour they help, And to his brother he saith, `Be strong.`

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

⁷And strengthen doth an artizan the refiner, A smoother [with] a hammer, Him who is beating [on] an anvil, Saying, `For joining it [is] good,` And he strengtheneth it with nails, it is not 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.

⁸— And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover,

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

⁹Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou [art], I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.

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:

¹⁰Be not afraid, for with thee I [am], Look not around, for I [am] thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld 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.

¹¹Lo, all those displeased with thee, They are ashamed and blush, They are as nothing, yea, perish Do the men who strive with thee.

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

¹²Thou seekest them, and findest them not, The men who debate with thee, They are as nothing, yea, as nothing, The men who war with thee.

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

¹³For I, Jehovah thy God, Am strengthening thy right hand, He who is saying to thee, `Fear not, I have helped thee.`

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

¹⁴Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even 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.

¹⁵Lo, I have set thee for a new sharp threshing instrument, Possessing teeth, thou threshest mountains, And beatest small, and hills as chaff thou makest.

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 winnowest them, and a wind lifteth them up, And a whirlwind scattereth them, And thou — thou rejoicest in Jehovah, In the Holy One of Israel dost boast thyself.

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.

¹⁷The poor and the needy are seeking water, And there is none, Their tongue with thirst hath failed, I, Jehovah do answer them, The God of Israel — I forsake them not.

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 open on high places rivers, And in midst of valleys fountains, I make a wilderness become a pond of water, And a dry land become 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 give in a wilderness the cedar, Shittah, and myrtle, and oil-tree, I set in a desert the fir-pine and box-wood 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]

²⁰So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy One of Israel hath prepared 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.

²¹Bring near your cause, saith Jehovah, Bring nigh your mighty ones, saith the king of Jacob.

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

²²They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things — what they [are] declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear.

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]

²³Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see [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.

²⁴Lo, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought, An abomination — it fixeth on you.

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

²⁵I have stirred up [one] from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in [on] prefects as [on] clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.

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 first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, `Righteous?` yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.

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.

²⁷First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one proclaiming tidings I give,

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

²⁸And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return 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.

²⁹`Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!`

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