Isaiah 44

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

Fa ankehitriny dia mihainoa, ry Jakoba, mpanompoko, sy ry Isiraely, izay nofidiko;

Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Izay nahary anao sy namorona anao hatrany am-bohoka sady mamonjy anao: Aza matahotra, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, Ary ianao, ry Jesorona, izay nofidiko;

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

Fa handatsaka rano amin'izay mangetaheta Aho, ary riaka ho amin'izay tany karankaina; Eny, handatsaka ny Fanahiko amin'ny taranakao Aho, ary ny fitahiako ho amin'ny terakao;

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

Dia haniry eny amin'ny ahitra tahaka ny hazomalahelo eny anilan'ny rano mandeha ireny.

One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Ny anankiray hilaza hoe: An'i Jehovah aho: Ary ny anankiray koa hankalaza ny anarana hoe Jakoba; Ary ny anankiray koa indray hanoratra amin'ny tànany hoe: An'i Jehovah, Ary ny anarana hoe Isiraely dia hotononiny amim-panajana.

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, dia Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Mpanavotra azy: Izaho no voalohany, ary Izaho no farany: Ka tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho.

And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

Ary iza moa no mba mahantso tahaka Ahy (Aoka hanambara sy handahatra izany amiko izy) hatrizay nampitoerako ny firenena fony fahagola? Ary ny zavatra ho avy sy ny mbola ho tonga, dia aoka hambarany koa izany.

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Aza matahotra na mangovitra ianareo; Tsy efa nampandre anareo hatramin'ny fahiny va Aho ka nanambara taminareo? Eny, ianareo no vavolombeloko; Misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Izaho va? Tsia, tsy misy Vatolampy, tsy hitako izany.

They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

Izay mamorona sarin-javatra voasokitra dia zava-poana avokoa; Ary ny zavatra tiany indrindra dia tsy mahasoa; Ny vavolombelon'ireny dia tsy mahita na mahalala, mba hahamenatra azy.

Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

Iza no namorona andriamanitra, na nanao sarin-javatra an-idina izay tsy mahasoa akory?

Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

Indro, ho menatra ny namany rehetra; Fa ny mpiasa dia olona ihany; Aoka hivory izy rehetra ka handroso; Aoka ho raiki-tahotra sy ho menatra avokoa izy.

The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

Ny mpanefy manamboatra fiasana; Miasa amin'ny arina izy ary manamboatra azy amin'ny tantanana sy miasa azy amin'ny sandriny matanjaka; Eny, noana izy, ka ketraka ny heriny; Tsy misotro rano izy ka reraka.

The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

Ny mpandrafitra manenjana ny kofehy sy manamarika azy amin'ny fitsipihana; Manamboatra azy amin'ny vankona izy, dia manamarika azy amin'ny kompà ary mahavita azy ho tahaka ny endrik'olona, dia tahaka ny hatsaran-tarehin'ny olona, Mba hampitoerina ao an-trano.

He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

Tsy maintsy mijinja ny sedera izy ary maka ny hazo ileksa sy ôka Ary mifidy hazo any an'ala; Mamboly ny hazo orno izy, ka ampanirin'ny ranonorana izany;

Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

Ary dia anaovan'ny olona kitay izany ka analany hamindroany; Eny, ampirehetiny izany mba hanendasany mofo; Anaovany andriamanitra izany, ka dia ivavahany; Eny, anaovany sarin-javatra voasokitra koa izany, ka dia iankohofany.

He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

Ny sasany dorany amin'ny afo, eny, ny sasany ahandroany hena; Manatsatsika hena izy, ka dia voky; Eny, mamindro izy ka manao hoe: Aha! mafana aho izany! nahita afo aho lahy!

And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

Ary ny sisan'izany dia amboariny ho andriamanitra, ho sarin-javatra voasokitra, Ary miondrika sy miankohoka eo anatrehany izy ka mivavaka aminy hoe: Vonjeo aho, fa andriamanitro ianao.

They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

Tsy mahalala na mahafantatra ireny; Fa voatampina ny masony ka tsy mahita, Ary ny fony, ka tsy mahalala.

And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

Tsy misy mieritreritra ao am-pony, na mba manana fahalalana na saina akory hanao hoe: Ny sasany mantsy nodorako tamin'ny afo; Eny, efa nanendy mofo tamin'ny vainafony aho: Efa nanatsatsika hena aho ka nihinana; Koa ny sisa va hataoko fahavetavetana, Hiankohofako eo anatrehan'izay vatan-kazo?

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

Homan-davenona izy; Voafitaka ny fony ka nampivily azy, ka dia tsy mahavonjy ny fanahiny izy na mahalaza hoe: Moa tsy lainga va no eto an-tanako ankavanana?

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

Tsarovy izany, ry Jakoba, dia ianao, ry Isiraely, fa mpanompoko ianao; Noforoniko ianao ka mpanompoko; Tsy hohadinoiko ianao, ry Isiraely ô,

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Izaho efa nandevona ny fahadisoanao tahaka ny fandevona ny zavona, ary ny fahotanao tahaka ny rahona; Koa miverena amiko, fa efa nanavotra anao Aho.

Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

Mihobia, ry lanitra; Fa Jehovah no nanao izany; Manaova feo fifaliana ianareo, ry fitoerana lalina any ambanin'ny tany; Velomy ny hoby, ry tendrombohitra, ary ianao, ry ala mbamin'izay hazo rehetra ao; Fa Jehovah efa nanavotra an'i Jakoba sy mampiseho ny voninahiny eo amin'Isiraely.

Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, izay nanavotra anao sady namorona anao hatrany am-bohoka: Izaho no Jehovah Izay manao ny zavatra rehetra, Izaho irery no manenjana ny lanitra; Ny tenako ihany no mamelatra ny tany;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

Izaho mahafoana ny famantarana lazain'ny mpibedibedy sy mampahavery saina ny mpanao fankatovana ary mampihemotra ny olon-kendry ka mampody ny fahalalany ho fahadalana,

That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

Ary mahatò ny tenin'ny mpanompoko sy mahatanteraka ny saina atolotry ny irako, ary manao amin'i Jerosalema hoe: Honenana ianao, sy amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda hoe: Hatsangana ianareo, ka hamboariko izay rava eo,

That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

Ary milaza amin'ny rano lalina hoe: Tankina, Fa hataoko tankina ny oninao,

That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Ary milaza an'i Kyrosy hoe: Izy no mpiandry ondriko, ka izay sitrako rehetra dia hotanterahiny; Ary izy hanao amin'i Jerosalema hoe: Hatsangana ianao, ary amin'ny tempoly hoe: Haorina indray ny fanorenanao.
