< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
Tsy zahay ry Iehovà, tsy zahay fa i tahina’oy, ro anolorañe engeñe, ty amy fiferenaiña’o naho ty figahiña’o.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Ino ty atao’ o kilakila ‘ndatio ty hoe: Aia t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo?
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
Andindiñe ao t’i Andrianañaharentika; anoe’e iaby ze satrin’ arofo’e.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Volamena naho vola-foty ty fitalahoa’ iareo, satam-pità’ ondaty.
5 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
Amam-bava iereo, fe tsy mivolañe, ama-maso, f’ie tsy mahatrea;
6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
aman-tsofy, f’ie tsy mahatsanoñe; aman’ oroñe, f’ie tsy mahaàntsoñe;
7 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
aman-taña, f’ie tsy maharambe, aman-tomboke, f’ie tsy mahalia; tsy mahalefe fiñeoñeoñañe o feo’eo.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Ho hambañe ama’e ty mamboatse aze, Eka! ze hene mpiato ama’e.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ry Israele, atokiso Iehovà! Ie ty mpañimba naho kalan-defo’ iareo.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ry tarira’ i Aharone, atokiso Iehovà! Ie ty mpañimba naho kalan-defo’ iareo.
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ry mañeveñe am’ Iehovà, atokiso Iehovà! Ie ty mpañimba naho kalan-defo’ iareo.
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
Fa nitiahi’ Iehovà tika, ho tahie’e; ho soae’e ty anjomba’ Israele, ho soae’e ty anjomba’ i Aharone,
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
ho tahie’e o mañeveñe am’ Iehovào, ndra ty kede ndra ty bey.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
Hampivangongoe’ Iehovà nahareo, inahareo naho o tiri’ areoo,
15 Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
hampanintsiña’ Iehovà, Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
O andikerañeo! a Iehovà o likerañeo, fe natolo’e amo ana’ i Dameo ty tane toy.
17 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
Tsy mandrenge Ià o vilasio, ndra ia ia mizotso mb’am-bangìñe ao;
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Fe hañandriañe Ià tika henane zao ho nainai’e nainai’e. Treño t’Ià!
