Psalms 81
1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." Asaph’s. Shout ye for joy, unto God our strength, Sound the note of triumph, 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 Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:
Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
3 Blow, at the new moon, the horn, At the full moon, for the day of our sacred festival:
Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
4 For, a statute to Israel, it is, A regulation, by the God of Jacob;
Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
5 A testimony in Joseph, he appointed it, When he went forth over the land of Egypt: A language I liked not, used I to hear;
Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.
6 I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.
Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
7 In distress, thou didst cry, and I delivered thee, —I answered thee, within a hiding-place of thunder, I proved thee by 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 adjure 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 not be, within thee, a foreign GOD, —Neither shalt thou bow down to a strange GOD:
Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
10 I, Yahweh, am thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, —Open wide thy mouth, that I may 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, hearkened not, unto my voice, Even, Israel, inclined not unto me.
Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
12 So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart, They might walk in their own counsels!
Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
13 If, my people, were hearkening unto me, [If, ] Israel, in my ways, would walk,
Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
14 Right soon, their foes, would I subdue, 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 Yahweh, should come cringing unto him, Then let their own good time be age-abiding!
Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
16 Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock—with honey, would I satisfy thee.
Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
