1Bel is bowed down, Nebo bendeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things ye carried are laid on, a burden to the weary [beast].
1[Ny fahatsinontsinon'ny sampin'i Babylona, sy fanomezan-toky ny Isiraely hifikitra amin'i Jehovah, ary ny hery sy ny fahalalan'i Jehovah] Mangozohozo Bela, efa miraika Nebo, ny sampiny dia nampitondraina ny biby folahina sy ny biby fiompy; Ny zavatra fitondranareo dia asampy ka tonga enta-mavesatra entin'ireo biby reraka.
2They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity.
2Miraika sy mangozohozo avokoa izy, ka tsy mahavonjy ny entana akory; Fa na dia ny tenany aza dia lasan-ko babo koa.
3Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
3Mihainoa Ahy, ry taranak'i Jakoba sy izay sisa rehetra amin'ny taranak'Isiraely, izay nobabena hatrany an-kibo sy nentina hatrany am-bohoka:
4Even to old age, I [am] HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry [you]: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
4Na dia mandra-pahantitrareo aza, dia tsy miova Aho, ary mandra-pahafotsy volonareo, dia Izaho ihany no hisahirana mitondra anareo. Izaho no nanao, ka Izaho ihany no hitrotro, eny, izaho no hitondra sy hanafaka.
5To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like?
5Hampitovinareo amin'iza moa Aho, sy amin'iza no hanoharanareo Ahy ary iza no hataonareo ho tahaka Ahy mba hitahany amiko?
6-- They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a ùgod: they fall down, yea, they worship.
6Izay mandraraka volamena avy ao an-kitapo sy mandania volafotsy amin'ny mizana dia manakarama mpanefy volamena mba hanao izany ho andriamanitra, hiankohofany sy hivavahany.
7They bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place; there he standeth, he doth not remove from his place: yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not; he saveth him not out of his trouble.
7Dia betainy ho eny an-tsorony iny ka entiny ary apetrany eo amin'ny fitoerany iny, ka dia mitoetra eo; Tsy mahay miala eo amin'ny fitoerany iny; ary na dia misy mitaraina aminy aza, dia tsy mahay mamaly izy, na mahavonjy azy amin'ny fahoriany.
8Remember this, and shew yourselves men; call it to mind, ye transgressors.
8Tsarovy izany ka mahereza ianareo eritrereto tsara izany, ry mpiodina. [Na: misehoa ho lehilahy]
9Remember the former things of old; for I [am] ùGod, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me;
9Tsarovy ny zavatra taloha izay efa lasa ela; Fa Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy hafa; Izaho no Andriamanitra, ka tsy misy tahaka Ahy,
10declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
10Izay manambara ny farany hatramin'ny voalohany, ary nanambara hatramin'ny ela izay tsy mbola natao akory, dia ilay manao hoe: Ho tò ny fikasako, ary hefaiko ny sitrapoko rehetra,
11calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
11Izay miantso vorona mpihaza avy any atsinanana, dia lehilahy avy any an-tany lavitra hahefa ny fikasako; sady efa niteny izany Aho no hahatanteraka azy koa, sady nikasa Aho no hahefa azy.
12Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
12Mihainoa Ahy ianareo madi-po izay lavitra ny fahamarinana:Hampanatoniko ny fahamarinako, ka tsy ho lavitra intsony; ary ny famonjeko tsy hitaredretra; fa hametraka famonjena ao Ziona Aho sy ny voninahitro ho an'ny Isiraely.
13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will give salvation in Zion, [and] unto Israel my glory.
13Hampanatoniko ny fahamarinako, ka tsy ho lavitra intsony; ary ny famonjeko tsy hitaredretra; fa hametraka famonjena ao Ziona Aho sy ny voninahitro ho an'ny Isiraely.
