Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
Misaora an’ i Jehovah, ry fanahiko. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, lehibe indrindra Hianao, Famirapiratana sy voninahitra no fitafinao,
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Mitafy ny mazava tahaka ny lamba Izy Ary mamelatra ny lanitra tahaka ny lay,
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
Ary mametraka ny rairain-drihan’ ny tranony amin’ ny rano, Sady manao ny rahona matevina ho kalesiny ka mandeha amin’ ny elatry ny rivotra,
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
Ary manao ny rivotra ho irany Sy ny lelafo ho mpanompony.
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
Nanorina ny tany tambonin’ ny fanorenany Izy, Mba tsy hihetseha-ny mandrakizay doria.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Ny rano lalina no nasaronao azy tahaka ny lamba; Nandifotra ny tendrombohitra aza ireny.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
Noho ny teny mafy nataonao dia nandositra ny tendrombohitra, Noho ny feon’ ny kotrokoranao dia nirifatra izy
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
Nisondrotra ny tendrombohitra, nietry ny lohasaha ho any amin’ izay namboarinao hitoerany.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Efa nasianao fetra tsy hihoarany izy Mba tsy hiverina hanarona ny tany.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Mampandeha loharano eny amin’ ny lohasaha Izy; Eny anelanelan’ ny tendrombohitra no alehan’ ireny,
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Ka isotroan’ ny bibi-dia rehetra, Sy analan’ ny boriki-dia ny hetahetany;
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Eo amboniny no itoeran’ ny voro-manidina; Ary eo amin’ ny ran-tsan-kazo no anenoany.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
Manondra-drano ny tendrombohitra avy amin’ ny tranony ambony Izy; Ny vokatry ny asanao no mahavoky ny tany.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Mampaniry ahitra ho an’ ny biby fiompy Izy Sy anana hahasoa ny olona. Ary mamoaka hanina avy amin’ ny tany.
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
Ary divay izay mampifaly ny olona, ka mampinendonendo ny tavany mihoatra noho ny diloilo, Ary mofo hanohanana ny ain’ ny olona.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Voky ny hazon’ i Jehovah, Dia ny sederan’ i Libanona, izay namboleny;
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Izay anaovan’ ny voron-kely ny akaniny; Ary ny vano, dia ao amin’ ny kypreso no anaovany ny tranony.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Ny tendrombohitra avo dia ho an’ ny osi-dia; Ny harambato no fiarovana ho an’ ny hyraka.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Nanao ny volana ho fotoana Izy, Ary ny masoandro mahalala ny filentehany.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Mahatonga aizina Hianao, dia tonga ny alina, Ka mivezivezy ny biby rehetra any an’ ala;
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Ny liona tanora mierona maniry toha Ka mitady ny haniny avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Miposaka ny masoandro, dia miverina ireny, Ary ao an-davany no amitsahany.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
Fa ny olona kosa mivoaka ho any amin’ ny taozavany, Sy ny asany mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Endrey ny hamaroan’ ny asanao, Jehovah ô! Fahendrena no nanaovanao azy rehetra; Henika ny zavatra nataonao ny tany.
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
Indro ny ranomasina sady lehibe no malalaka, Any no misy zava-mihetsiketsika tsy tambo isaina, Dia zava-miaina, na kely na lehibe.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Any no alehan’ ny sambo Sy ny trozona, izay noforoninao hilaolao any.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
Ireo rehetra ireo miandry Anao, Mba homenao ny haniny amin’ ny fotoany.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
Manome Hianao, dia manangona izy; Manokatra ny tananao Hianao, dia voky ny soa izy;
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
Manafina ny tavanao Hianao, dia raiki-tahotra izy; Alainao indray ny ainy, dia maty izy Ka mody any amin’ ny vovoka nanalana azy,
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
Maniraka ny Fanahinao Hianao, dia ary izy, Ary manavao ny tarehin’ ny tany Hianao.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Ho mandrakizay anie ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah; Aoka Jehovah hifaly amin’ ny asany.
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
Jereny ny tany, dia mihorohoro; Tendren’ ny tànany ny tendrombohitra, dia midonaka.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
Hihira ho an’ i Jehovah aho, raha mbola velona koa; Hankalaza an’ Andriamanitro aho, raha mbola miaina.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Ho maminy anie ny fisainako Azy; Izaho no hifaly amin’ i Jehovah.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
Ho lany ringana tsy ho etỳ amin’ ny tany ny mpanota, Ary ny ratsy fanahy tsy ho etỳ intsony. Misaora an’ i Jehovah, ry fanahiko. Haleloia.
