¹Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.

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 been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you — from hearing.

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 have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.

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

⁴There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing 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.

⁵Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth 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 become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed 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 to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.

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.

⁸A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known 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 hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness — in thick darkness we go,

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 feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.

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 make a noise as bears — all of us, And as doves we coo sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation — it hath been far 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 have been multiplied before Thee, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities — we have known them.

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

¹³Transgressing, and lying against Jehovah, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostacy, 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 removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,

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

¹⁵And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is 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 seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to 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.

¹⁷And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.

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 deeds — so He repayeth. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their] deed He repayeth.

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

¹⁹And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun — His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign 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 come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.

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.

²¹And I — this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed`s seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!

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.
