Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-gitith. Nataon’ i Asafa. Mihobia ho an’ Andriamanitra herintsika; manaova feo fifaliana ho an’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Fony azom-pahoriana ianao, dia niantso Ahy, ka namonjy anao Aho; namaly anao tao amin’ ny fiafenan’ ny kotrokorana Aho, ary nizaha toetra anao tao amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba. (Sela)
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
