Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto 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 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.
Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
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 testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
10 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, 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 hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.
Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
