< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
Jehovah ô, aza izahay, aza izahay no omena voninahitra, Fa ny anaranao ihany, Noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
5 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
6 they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
7 they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
Manan-tanana izy, fa tsy mandray; Manan-tongotra izy, fa tsy mandeha; Ary tsy mahaloa-peo ny tendany.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
Jehovah mahatsiaro ka mitahy antsika; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Isiraely Izy; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Arona Izy;
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
Hotahiny izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, Na ny kely na ny lehibe.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
15 Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
