1Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock [whence] ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye were digged.
1[Ny fiposahan'ny famonjena, sy ny fanesorana ny kapoaky ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah] Mihanoa Ahy, ianareo izay miezaka mitady fahamarinana, dia izay mitady an'i Jehovah: Tsarovy ny vatolampy izay nakana anareo sy ny ati-lavaka izay nihadiana anareo. [Heb. Jereo]
2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him when he was alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
2Eny, tsarovy Abrahama rainareo sy Saraha, izay niteraka anareo; fa fony mbola tokana izy, dia nantsoiko sy notahiko ary nohamaroiko. [Heb. Jereo]
3For Jehovah shall comfort Zion, he shall comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.
3Fa Jehovah mampionona an'i Ziona; Eny, mampionona izay rava rehetra ao Izy Ka manao ny efitra ao ho tahaka an'i Edena. Ary ny tany foana ao ho tahaka ny sahan'i Jehovah; Hafaliana sy haravoana no hita ao mbamin'ny fisaorana sy ny feo fiderana.
4Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will establish my judgment for a light of the peoples.
4Mihainea Ahy, ry vahoakako, ary atongilano amiko ny sofinareo, ry oloko; fa hisy lalàna hivoaka avy amiko, ary ny fitsipiko dia hampitoeriko ho fanazavana ny firenena.
5My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples: the isles shall wait for me, and in mine arm shall they trust.
5Akaiky ny fahamarinako, efa nivoaka ny famonjeko, ary ny sandriko no hitsara ny firenena; izaho no hantenain'ny nosy, ary ny sandriko no andrasany.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
6Andrandrao ho amin'ny lanitra ny masonareo, ary jereo ny tany ambany; fa ny lanitra ho levona tahaka ny setroka, ary tany ho tahaky ny lamba mangarahara, ary ny mponina ao dia ho faty tampoka; fa ny famonjena kosa haharitra mandrakizay, ary ny fahamarinako tsy mba ho rava.[Na: tahaka ny fahafatin'ny moka]
7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their revilings.
7Mihainoa ahy, ianareo izay mahalala ny fahamarinana, dia ianao, ry firenena izay manana ny lalàko ao am-ponao; aza matahotra ny latsa ataon'ny zanak'olombelona, na manahy noho ny faharatsiany.
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
8Fa ny kalalao hihinana azy tahaka ny fihinan-damba, ary lolo fotsy hihinana azy tahaka ny fihinam-bolon'ondry; fa ny fahamarinako haharitra mandrakizay, ary famonjena hihatra amin'ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
9Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, [as in] the generations of passed ages. Is it not thou that hath hewn Rahab in pieces, [and] pierced the monster?
9Mifohaza, mifohaza, ry sandrin'i Jehovah, mitafia hery! Mifohaza tahaka ny tamin'ny andro fahiny! dia tamin'ny taranaka lasa ela. Tsy Hianao va Ilay nitetitetika an-dRahaba sy nitomboka ny dragona? [Na: mamba; izahao Ezek. xxix. 3]
10Is it not thou that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
10Tsy Hianao va Ilay nahamaina ny ranomasina, dia ny rano ao amin'ny lalina indrindra, ka nanao ny ranomasina lalina ho lalana halehan'ny navotana?
11So the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
11Eny, ny navotan'i Jehovah hiverina ka hankany Ziona amin'ny fihobiana, ary ny fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; hahazo fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; hahazo fifaliana faharavoravoana izy, ka dia handositra ny alahelo sy ny fisentoana.
12I, [even] I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou fearest a man that shall die, and the son of man that shall become as grass;
12Izaho dia Izaho no mpampionona anareo, koa nahoana ianao no dia matahotra ny zanak'olombelona mety maty sy ny zanak'olona hatao tahaka ny ahitra
13and forgettest Jehovah thy Maker, who hath stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and thou art afraid continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepareth to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
13ka manadino an'i Jehovah, Mpanao anao, izay namelatra ny lanitra sy nanorina ny tany, sady matahotra lalandava mandritra ny andro ianao noho ny fahatezeran'ny mpampahory, raha mikendry hamono izy? Fa aiza intsony izay fahatezeran'ny mpampahory?
14He that is bowed down shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
14Izay mitanondrika dia ho afaka faingana; Tsy ho faty havarina ao an-davaka izy ary tsy ho diso hanina.
15And I am Jehovah thy God, who raiseth the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
15Fa Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrao, Izay mampanonja ny ranomasina, ka dia mirohondrohona ny onjany; Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no anarako. [Na: Izay mampitsahatra ny rano, raha mirohondrohona ny onjany] [Heb. anarany]
16And I have put my words in thy mouth, and covered thee with the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens, and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
16Ary nataoko eo am-bavanao ny teniko, ary ao amin'ny aloky ny tanako no nanaronako anao, hanao ny lanitra sy hanorina ny tany Aho ary hanao an'i Ziona hoe: Oloko ianao. [Heb. Hamboly]
17Arouse thyself, arouse thyself, stand up, Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury. Thou hast drunk, hast drained out the goblet-cup of bewilderment:
17Mifohaza, mifohaza, mitsangana, ry Jerosalema ô, izay efa nisotro ny kapoaky ny fahatezerana avy tamin'ny tànan'i Jehovah; eny, ny kapoaka gobilia mampiraikiraiky dia efa nisotroanao, ka notrohinao mbamin'ny faikany.
18-- there is none to guide her among all the children that she hath brought forth; neither is there any to take her by the hand of all the children that she hath brought up.
18Tsy misy mitondra azy ny zananilahy rehetra izay naterany; ary tsy misy mitantana azy ny zananilahy rehetra izay notezainy.
19These two [things] are come unto thee; who will bemoan thee? -- desolation and destruction, and famine and sword: how shall I comfort thee?
19Izao zavatra roa Izao no hanjo anao (Iza no hanony ny alahelonao?): Fandravana sy fandringanana ary mosary sy sabatra, koa hataoko ahoana no fampionona anao?
20Thy children have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an oryx in a net: they are full of the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
20Ny zanakao-lahy efa reraka, ka miapokapoka eny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny izy, tahaka ny diera ao anatin'ny fandrika harato eny, tahaka ny olona rakotry ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah sy ny teny mafy ataon'Andriamanitrao.
21Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
21Koa mihainoa izao, ianao ry ilay ory sady mamo tsy amin-divay:
22thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, and thy God, who pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I take out of thy hand the cup of bewilderment, the goblet-cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
22Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tomponao, dia Andriamanitrao, Izay mandaha-teny ho an'ny olony: Indro, esoriko eny an-tananao ny kapoaka mampiraikiraiky, dia ny kapoaka gobilian'ny fahatezerako; Tsy hisotroanao intsony iny,Fa hataoko eo an-tànan'izay mampahory anao kosa, dia izay efa nilaza taminao hoe: Miankohofa mba hohitsahinay, ka dia nataonao ho tahaka ny tany ny tenanao sy ho tahaka ny lalambe ho an'izay mandeha eo.
23and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
23Fa hataoko eo an-tànan'izay mampahory anao kosa, dia izay efa nilaza taminao hoe: Miankohofa mba hohitsahinay, ka dia nataonao ho tahaka ny tany ny tenanao sy ho tahaka ny lalambe ho an'izay mandeha eo.
