¹Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples from afar. Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

¹[Ny amin'ny Mpanompon'i Jehovah, Izay voatendry hamory sy hamonjy ny Isiraely sy ny firenena rehetra] Mihainoa Ahy, ry nosy, ary atongilano ny sofinareo, ry firenena lavitra; Jehovah efa niantso Ahy hatrany am-bohoka; Hatry ny fony Aho mbola tao an-kibon'ineny no efa nankalazainy ny anarako.

²And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, he hath concealed me under the shadow of his hand, and he hath made me a polished shaft: in his quiver hath he hidden me.

²Ary nataony tahaka ny sabatra maranitra ny vavako; tao amin'ny aloky ny tànany no nanafenany Ahy. Ary nataony zana-tsipìka voalambolambo tsara Aho; teo amin'ny tranon-jana-tsipìkany no nanafenany Ahy.

³And he said unto me, Thou art my servant, Israel, in whom I will glorify myself.

³Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Mpanompoko Hianao, ry Isiraely ô. Izay entiko mampiseho ny voninahitro.

⁴-- And I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and in vain; nevertheless my judgment is with Jehovah, and my work with my God.

⁴Fa hoy kosa Aho: Foana ny nisasarako, zava-poana sy tsinontsinona no nandaniako ny heriko; kanefa ao amin'i Jehovah ny rariny tokony ho Ahy, Ary ny valin'ny asako dia ao amin'Andriamanitro.

⁵And now, saith Jehovah, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I should bring Jacob again to him; (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorified in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength;)

⁵Ary ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, Izay namorona Ahy hatrany am-bohoka ho Mpanompony, hampodiana ny Jakoba ho ao aminy indray sy hamoriana ny Isiraely ho ao aminy, (Fa mahazo voninahitra eo imason'i Jehovah Aho, Ary Andriamanitro no heriko),

⁶-- and he saith, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; I have even given thee for a light of the nations, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁶Eny, hoy Izy: Mbola zavatra kely foana, raha tonga Mpanompoko hanandratra ny firenen'i Jakoba Hianao sy hampody ny Isiraely sisa voaro; Fa homeko ho fanazavana ny jentilisa koa Hianao, mba ho famonjeko hatrany amin'ny faran'ny tany.

⁷Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to the servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall worship, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

⁷Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Mpanavotra ny Isiraely, dia ny Iray Masiny, Amin'Ilay hamavoin'ny olona sy halan'ny firenena ka tonga mpanompon'ny mpanapaka: Ny mpanjaka hahita ka hitsangana, ary ny mpanapaka koa, ka dia hiankohoka noho ny amin'i Jehovah, Izay mahatoky dia ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely, izay efa nifidy Anao.

⁸Thus saith Jehovah: In a time of acceptance have I answered thee, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

⁸Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Tamin'ny taona fankasitrahana no nihainoako Anao. Ary tamin'ny andro famonjena no namonjeko Anao; Dia hiaro Anao Aho ka hanome Anao ho fanekena ho an'ny olona, mba hanangana ny tany indray sy hampandova ny lova izay efa rava

⁹saying to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all bare hills.

⁹ka hanao amin'ny mpifatotra hoe: Mivoaha, Ary amin'izay ao amin'ny maizina hoe: Misehoa; hihinana eny an-dalana izy, ary na dia any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady aza dia hisy ahitra ho azy ihany; .

¹⁰They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, and by the springs of water will he guide them.

¹⁰Tsy ho noana na hangetaheta izy, ary tsy hamely azy ny hainandro migaingaina na ny masoandro; fa Izay mamindra fo aminy no hitarika azy, ary any amin'ny loharano miboiboika no hitondrany azy.

¹¹And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be raised up.

¹¹Hataoko lalana ny tendrombohitro rehetra, ary hasandratra ny lalambeko.

¹²Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

¹²Indreo, tonga avy lavitra ireto; ary, indreo, avy any avaratra sy andrefana ireto, ary avy any amin'ny tany Sinima ireto.

¹³Shout, ye heavens; and be joyful, thou earth; and break forth into singing, ye mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted ones.

¹³Mihobia, ry lanitra! Ary mifalia, ry tany! Ka velomy ny hoby, ry tendrombohitra! Fa Jehovah efa nampionona ny olony sy mamindra fo amin'ny olony mahantra.

¹⁴But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

¹⁴Fa hoy Ziona'Jehovah efa nahafoy ahy, ary ny Tompoto efa nanadino ahy.

¹⁵Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even these forget, but I will not forget thee.

¹⁵Mety manadino ny zanany minono va ny vehivavy ka tsy hamindra fo amin'ny zanaka naloaky ny kibony? Eny, mety manadino ihany izy, Fa Izaho kosa tsy mba manadino anao.

¹⁶Lo, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my] hands; thy walls are continually before me.

¹⁶Indro, efa vitako tombo-kavatsa eo am-pelatanako ianao, ary ny mandanao dia eo anatrehako mandrakariva.

¹⁷Thy sons shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that laid thee waste shall go forth from thee.

¹⁷Tamy faingana ny zanakao; Ary izay nanimba sy nandrava anao dia miala aminao.

¹⁸Lift up thine eyes round about and behold: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt indeed clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and bind them on as a bride doth.

¹⁸Atopazy manodidina ny masonao, ka mijere; ireo rehetra ireo dia mivory ka mankeo aminao; raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Ireo rehetra ireo dia hihaingoanao tokoa tahaka ny firavaka sy hiravahanao tahaka ny fanaon'ny ampakarina.

¹⁹For [in] thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy destroyed land, thou shalt even now be too straitened by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

¹⁹Fa ny taninao rava sy ny fonenanao lao ary ny taninao simba dia tsy ho omby amin'izany noho ny habetsahan'ny mponina, ary ho lasa lavitra ireo nihinana anao.

²⁰The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too narrow for me: make room for me, that I may dwell.

²⁰Ny zanakao izay efa lasa teo dia mbola hilaza eo an-tsofinao hoe: Tsy omby ahy loatra ity tany ity, Mikisaha kely mba hitoerako.

²¹And thou shalt say in thy heart, Who hath borne me these, seeing I had lost my children and was desolate, an exile, and driven about? and who hath brought up these? behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?

²¹Dia hanao anakampo ianao hoe: Iza no niteraka ireto ho ahy? Fa efa maty ny zanako, ary nitsaha-jaza aho. Babo aho sady noroahina, koa iza no namelona ireto? Indro, nilaozana ho irery aho, fa taiza kosa moa ireto?

²²Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in [their] bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon the shoulder.

²²Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo; Indro, hanandratra ny tanako amin'ny jentilisa Aho ary hanangana ny fanevako amin'ny firenena; dia hitrotro ny zanakao eo an-tratrany ireo, ary ny zanakaovavy ho entiny eny an-tsorony.

²³And kings shall be thy nursing-fathers, and their princesses thy nursing-mothers: they shall bow down to thee with the face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet. And thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah; for they shall not be ashamed who wait on me.

²³Mpanjaka no ho rainao mpitaiza anao, ary zanakavavin'andriana no ho reninao mpampinono anao; hiankohoka amin'ny tany eo anatrehanao izy ka hilelaka ny vovoka amin'ny tongotrao; Dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah, ka tsy ho menatra izay miandry Ahy.

²⁴Shall the prey be taken from the mighty? and shall he that is rightfully captive be delivered?

²⁴Azo alaina eny amin'ny mahery va ny sambotra? Na ho afaka va ny babo marina?

²⁵For thus saith Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will strive with him that striveth with thee, and I will save thy children.

²⁵Nefa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Na dia ny sambotry ny mahery aza dia halaina ihany, ary ho afaka ny babon'ny mpandrombaka; fa Izaho no hiady amin'izay miady aminao, ary Izaho no hamonjy ny zanakao.Sady hampihinaniko ny nofon'ny tenany ihany izay mampahory anao, ary ho leon'ny ran'ny tenany ihany ireny, toy ny amin'ny ranom-boaloboka; dia ho fantatry ny nofo rehetra fa Izaho Jehovah no Mpamonjy anao, ary Ilay Maherin'i Jakoba no Mpanavotra anao.

²⁶And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with new wine. And all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

²⁶Sady hampihinaniko ny nofon'ny tenany ihany izay mampahory anao, ary ho leon'ny ran'ny tenany ihany ireny, toy ny amin'ny ranom-boaloboka; dia ho fantatry ny nofo rehetra fa Izaho Jehovah no Mpamonjy anao, ary Ilay Maherin'i Jakoba no Mpanavotra anao.
