¹Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this — the house that ye build for Me? And where [is] this — the place — My rest?

¹[Ny toe-panahin'ny tena Isiraely sy ny fandavana ny tsy izy, ary ny fandrosoan'ny Fiangonana sy ny hamoriana ny firenena rehetra hankany Jerosalema, ary ny handringanana ny ratsy fanahy] Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Ny lanitra no seza fiandrianako, Ary ny tany no fitoeran-tongotro; Trano manao ahoana no hataonareo ho Ahy? Ary fitoerana manao ahoana no ho fitsaharako ?

²And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.

²Fa izao zavatra izao no nataon'ny tanako. Ka dia ary izao rehetra izao, hoy Jehovah; Nefa izao no olona hotsinjoviko, Dia izay malahelo sy torotoro fanahy Sady mangovitra noho ny teniko.

³Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present — The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.

³Izay mamono omby dia hoatra ny mamono olona; Izay mamono ondry hatao fanatitra dia hoatra ny mamolaka ny vozon'alika; Izay manatitra fanatitra hohanina dia hoatra ny manatitra ran-kisoa; Izay mandoro ditin-kazo mani-pofona ho fanati-pahatsiarovana dia hoatra ny misaotra ny sampy. Eny, tahaka ny nifidianan'ireny ny halehany, Sy ny nifalian'ny fanahiny tamin'ny fahavetavetany,

⁴I also — I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.

⁴Dia tahaka izany kosa no hifidianako ny fampahoriana azy, Sy handatsahako ny fahatahorany ho aminy, Satria niantso Aho, fa tsy nisy namaly, Niteny Aho, fa tsy nihaino izy; Fa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko, Ary izay tsy sitrako no nofidiny.

⁵Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name`s sake: `Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,` But they are ashamed.

⁵Mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah, Hianareo izay mangovitra noho ny teniny! Hoy ny rahalahinareo izay mankahala anareo, Ka mandroaka anareo noho ny amin'ny anarako: Hampiseho ny voninahiny anie Jehovah, Mba ho faly mahita ny fifalianareo izahay! Kanefa ireny ho menatra kosa.

⁶A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.

⁶Injany! horakoraka any an-tanàna, Ary feo ao amin'ny tempoly, Dia feon'i Jehovah izay mamaly ny ataon'ny fahavalony.

⁷Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.

⁷Fony mbola tsy nihetsi-jaza aza izy, dia niteraka; Fony mbola tsy nanaintaina aza izy, dia velon-jazalahy.

⁸Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.

⁸Iza akory no efa nandre zavatra toy izany? Iza no efa nahita zavatra toy izany? Hisy tany hateraka indray andro va, Na firenena azo atao indray miteraka? Fa raha vao narary hiteraka Ziona, dia velon-jaza izy.

⁹`Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?` saith Jehovah, `Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,` said thy God.

⁹Izaho moa hahatonga ho eo amin'ny fiterahana ka tsy hampiteraka va? hoy Jehovah; Izaho hampiteraka, nefa hampikombona indray va? hoy Andriamanitrao.

¹⁰Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,

¹⁰Miaraha mifaly amin'i Jerosalema, Ary miravoravoa aminy ianareo rehetra izay tia azy; Aoka hiara-mifaly aminy tokoa Hianareo rehetra izay malahelo noho ny aminy,

¹¹So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.

¹¹Mba hinonoanareo sy hivokisanareo amin'ny nonony mahafaly, Eny, mba higoka ianareo, Ka hiravoravo amin'ny haben'ny voninahiny.

¹²For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.

¹²Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hitarihako fiadanana tahaka ny ony izy, Ary ny voninahitry ny firenena tahaka ny renirano tondraka, Ka hinono ianareo; Ary hosakalehina ianareo sady hohindrahindraina eo ambony lohalika.

¹³As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.

¹³Tahaka ny olona ampiononin-dreniny No hampiononako anareo; Eny, ao Jerosalema no hampiononana anareo.

¹⁴And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.

¹⁴Dia hahita izany ianareo, ka ho faly ny fonareo, Ary ny taolanareo ho tsara fitombo tahaka ny ahi-matiso; Ary ny tànan'i Jehovah dia ataony fantatry ny mpanompony, Fa ho tezitra amin'ny fahavalony kosa Izy.

¹⁵For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.

¹⁵Fa, indro, Jehovah ho avy amin'ny afo, Ary tahaka ny tadio ny kalesiny, Mba hanao famaliana amin'ny fahatezerany mirehitra, Sy ny fitenenany mafy amin'ny lelafo.

¹⁶For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah`s pierced ones.`

¹⁶Fa ny afo sy ny sabany no ho entin'i Jehovah hifandahatra amin'ny nofo rehetra; Ary ho maro ny voaringan'i Jehovah.

¹⁷Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁷Izay manamasina sy manadio ny tenany ho ao an-tanimboly, Ka manaraka ny iray ao afovoany, Ary mihinana ny henan-kisoa sy ny zava-betaveta ary ny totozy; Dia hiaraka ho levona avokoa, hoy Jehovah.

¹⁸And I — their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.

¹⁸Fa Izaho dia hamaly ny asany sy ny heviny, Ho avy ny hamoriana ny jentilisa rehetra sy ny samy hafa fiteny; Dia ho avy ireo ka hahita ny voninahitro.[Na: mahalala]

¹⁹And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.

¹⁹Ary hasiako famantarana eo aminy, Ary izay afaka mandositra dia hirahiko ho any amin'ny jentilisa, Dia ho any Tarsisy sy Pola ary Lydia, izay manenjana tsipìka, Ary ho any Tobala sy Javana, Dia ho any amin'ireo nosy lavitra izay tsy mbola nandre ny lazako; Na nahita ny voninahitro, Ary hitory ny voninahitro any amin'ny jentilisa izy.[Heb. Loda]

²⁰And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.

²⁰Ary hitondra ny rahalahinareo rehetra izy, Avy any amin'ny jentilisa rehetra ho fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah, Mitaingin-tsoavaly sy ao anaty kalesy sy filanjana, Ary mitaingina ampondra sy rameva haingam-pandeha ho any Jerosalema tendrombohitro masina, hoy Jehovah, Dia tahaka ny fitondran'ny Zanak'Isiraely ny fanatitra hohanina ao anatin'ny vilia madio ho any an-tranon'i Jehovah;

²¹And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.

²¹Ary avy amin'ireo aza no hakako ho mpisorona sy Levita, hoy Jehovah.

²²For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.

²²Fa tahaka ny lanitra vaovao sy ny tany vaovao, izay hataoko, no haharitra eo anatrehako, hoy Jehovah, Dia toy izany ny haharetan'ny taranakareo sy ny anaranareo.

²³And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.

²³Ary isaky ny voaloham-bolana sy isan-tsabata; Dia ho avy ny nofo rehetra hiankohoka eo anatrehako, hoy Jehovah.Ary hivoaka izy ireny ka hijery ny fatin'ny olona izay efa niodina tamiko; Fa ny kankany tsy ho faty, ary ny afony tsy hovonoina, Ary hataon'ny nofo rehetra ho fahavetavetana izy.

²⁴And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!

²⁴Ary hivoaka izy ireny ka hijery ny fatin'ny olona izay efa niodina tamiko; Fa ny kankany tsy ho faty, ary ny afony tsy hovonoina, Ary hataon'ny nofo rehetra ho fahavetavetana izy.
