Isaiah 48

Mihainoa, ry taranak'i Jakoba, dia ianareo izay antsoina amin'ny anaran'Isiraely sy avy amin'ny loharanon'i Joda, ianareo izay mianiana amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah ary mankalaza ny anaran'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, kanefa tsy araka ny marina, na araka ny hitsiny;

Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

Fa milaza ny tenany ho avy amin'ny tanana masina izy ka miankina amin'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no anarany.

For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.

Ny zavatra taloha dia efa voalazako hatramin'ny fahiny, ary naloaky ny vavako izany sady nambarako; Tampoka no nanaovako izany, ary tonga izany.

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Satria fantatro fa maditra ianao, ka ozaby ny hatokao, ary varahina ny handrinao,

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

Dia nambarako taminao hatramin'ny fahiny izany, eny, fony tsy mbola tonga aza izany, dia efa nambarako taminao rahateo, fandrao hataonao hoe: Ny sampiko no nanao izany, ary ny sarin-javatra voasokitra sy ny sarin-javatra anidina no nandidy izany.

I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

Efa renao, ka dia jereo izany rehetra izany, moa ianareo tsy hanambara izany va? Mampandre anao zava-baovao kosa Aho hatramin'izao, dia zavatra miafina izay tsy fantatrao.

Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

Vao izao no namoronana azy, fa tsy hatramin'ny fahiny, ary tsy mbola nandre azy ianao talohan'ny andro anio, fandrao ianao hanao hoe: Indro, ny efa fantatro ihany izany.

They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

Fa tsy nandre na nahalala ianao; Eny, hatramin'ny fahiny aza no tsy mbola nisokatra ny sofinao; fa fantatro fa tena mpivadika ianao sady natao hoe mpiodina hatrany an-kibo.

Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Noho ny anarako dia ononiko ny fahatezerako, ary mba hiderana ahy dia manindry fo aminao Aho, mba tsy hamongorana anao.

For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Indro, nodioviko ianao, nefa tsy toy ny volafotsy; Efa nizaha toetra anao tao amin'ny memy fahoriana Aho.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Noho ny tenako, eny, noho ny tenako ihany no anaovako izany; indrisy, lotoina ny anarako! Ary ny voninahitro tsy homeko ny hafa.

For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Mihainoa Ahy, ry Jakoba, sy y Isiraely izay nantsoiko: Tsy miova Aho; Izaho no voalohany, ary Izaho koa no farany.

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

Eny, ny tanako no nanorina ny fanambanin'ny tany, ary ny tanako ankavanana no namelatra ny lanitra; Raha antsoiko ireo, dia indray miseho avokoa.

Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

Mivoria ianareo rehetra, ka mihainoa: Iza moa amin'ireny no mba efa nanambara izany; ilay tian'i Jehovah no hahefa ny sitrapony amin'i Babylona ary ny sandriny ho amin'ny Kaldeana.

All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

Izaho dia Izaho ihany no miteny sady miantso azy, nitondra azy Aho, ka hambinina ny lalany.

I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

Manatona Ahy ianareo, ka mihainoa; hatramin'ny taloha no efa tsy nitenenako tamin'ny mangingina, hatry ny fony vao nisian'ireo dia teo Aho, ary ankehitriny Jehovah Tompo no naniraka Ahy sy ny Fanahiny.

Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Mpanavotra anao, dia ny Iray Masin'ny Isiraely: Izaho, Jehovah Andriamanitrao, no nampianatra anao hahita soa sady mitarika anao amin'ny lalana tokony halehanao.

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

Toy izay anie ianao mba nihaino ny didiko! Dia ho tonga tahaka ny ony ny fiadananao, ary ho tahaka ny onjan-dranomasina ny fahamarinanao,

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Ary ho tahaka ny fasika ny taranakao, ary ny aloaky ny kibonao ho tahaka ny sombim-pasika; Ny anarany tsy ho tapaka na ho foana eo anatrehako.

Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

Mivoaha hiala any Babylona; miezaha avy any amin'ny Kaldeana; torio amin'ny feo mahafaly, ary ambarao, ka aelezo hatrany amin'ny faran'ny tany, lazao hoe: Jehovah efa nanavotra an'i Jakoba mpanompony.

Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

Ary tsy nangetaheta ireo tamin'ny nitondrany azy tany an-efitra; Nampiboiboika rano ho azy avy tamin'ny vatolampy Izy, Eny, nampitresaka ny vatolampy Izy, ka dia nigororoana ny rano.

And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

Tsy misy fiadanana ho an'ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah.

There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
