Psalms 81
1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully 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 Lift up 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 on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, 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 by the God of Jacob.
Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
5 As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.
6 I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.
Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
7 In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the 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 give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.
9 There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to 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, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy 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 did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
12 So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: 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 would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
14 In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
15 The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
16 And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
