¹For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.

¹[Ny handrosoan'ny voninahitr'i Jerosalema] Tsy hangina Aho noho ny amin'i Ziona, Ary tsy hitsaha-miteny Aho noho ny amin'i Jerosalema, mandra-piposaky ny fahamarinany tahaka ny famirapiratry ny mazava, ary ny famonjena azy tahaka ny fanilo mirehitra.

²And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

²Ny firenena hahita ny fahamarinanao, ary ny mpanjaka rehetra hahita ny voninahitrao; dia homena anaram-baovao ianao, Izay hotononin'ny vavan'i Jehovah; [Heb. hotendren']

³And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

³Ka dia ho tonga satro-boninahitra eo an-tànany ianao sy satrok'andriana eo am-pelatanan'Andriamanitrao.

⁴Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

⁴Hianao tsy hatao intsony hoe nafoy, ary ny taninao tsy hatao intsony hoe Lao fa ianao hatao hoe Ilay sitrako, ary ny taninao hatao hoe Vady ampakarina; Fa sitrak'i Jehovah ianao, ary ny taninao hampanambadina.

⁵For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall thy God rejoice over thee.

⁵Fa tahaka ny zatovo mampakatra virijina ho vadiny no hampakaran'ny mponina aminao anao; ary tahaka ny fifalian'ny mpampakatra amin'ny ampakariny no hifalian'Andriamanitrao aminao. [Heb. zanakao-lahy]

⁶I have set watchmen upon thy walls, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night they shall never hold their peace: ye that put Jehovah in remembrance, keep not silence,

⁶Efa nanendry mpiambina ho eny ambonin'ny mandanao Aho, ry Jerosalema ô, koa mandrakariva na andro na alina dia tsy mahazo mangina ireny; eny, ianareo izay mpampahatsiaro an'i Jehovah, aza mitsahatra;

⁷and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁷Ary aza mamela Azy hitsahatra mandra-panaony an'i Jerosalema ho mafy orina sy hoderaina amin'ny tany.

⁸Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, I will indeed no more give thy corn [to be] food for thine enemies; and the sons of the alien shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast laboured;

⁸Jehovah efa nianiana tamin'ny tànany ankavanana, dia tamin'ny sandriny mahery, hoe: Tsy homeko hohanin'ny fahavalonao intsony ny varinao, ary ny hafa firenena tsy hisotro ny ranom-boalobokao izay efa nisasaranao;

⁹for they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

⁹Fa izay nijinja azy no hihinana azy ka hidera an'i Jehovah; ary izay nioty azy no hisotro azy ao amin'ny kianjako masina.

¹⁰Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

¹⁰Mivoaha, mivoaha amin'ny vavahady, amboary ny lalana halehan'ny olona; asandrato ho avo ny lalambe; esory ny vato eny aminy; manangàna faneva ho tazan'ny firenena.

¹¹Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.

¹¹Indro, Jehovah efa nanambara hatrany amin'ny faran'izao tontolo izao nanao hoe: Lazao amin'i Ziona zanakavavy: Indro, avy ny famonjena anao; Indro; ny valim-pitia hatolony dia ao aminy, ary ny valin'asa homeny dia eo anoloany.Ary Ireny hotononina hoe Firenena masina, dia olona navotan'i Jehovah; ary ianao dia hatao hoe Ilay notadiavina, Tanàna tsy foy.

¹²And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah; and thou shalt be called, The sought out, The city not forsaken.

¹²Ary Ireny hotononina hoe Firenena masina, dia olona navotan'i Jehovah; ary ianao dia hatao hoe Ilay notadiavina, Tanàna tsy foy.
