Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
Haleloia. Miderà an’ i Jehovah, ry any an-danitra; Miderà Azy any ambony.
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
Miderà Azy, ry anjeliny rehetra; Miderà Azy, ry miaramilany rehetra.
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
Miderà Azy, ry masoandro amam-bolana; Miderà Azy, ry kintana mazava rehetra.
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
Miderà Azy, ry lanitry ny lanitra, Ary ianareo rano ambonin’ ny lanitra.
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
Aoka hidera ny anaran’ i Jehovah ireo; Fa Izy no nandidy, dia ary ireo.
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
Nampitoetra ireo ho mandrakizay doria Izy; Nomen-dalàna ireo ka tsy mba mihoatra.
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
Midera an’ i Jehovah etỳ an-tany, Hianareo dragona sy ianareo rano lalina rehetra,
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
Ny afo sy ny havandra, ny oram-panala sy ny zavona, Ny rivotra mahery izay mankatò ny teniny,
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
Ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana rehetra, Ny hazo fihinam-boa sy ny sedera rehetra,
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
Ny bibi-dia sy ny biby fiompy rehetra, Ny biby mandady na mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina,
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
Ny mpanjaka amin’ ny tany sy ny vahoaka rehetra, Ny mpanapaka sy ny mpitsara rehetra amin’ ny tany,
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
Na ny zatovolahy, na ny zatovovavy, Na ny antitra, na ny tanora,
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
Samia midera ny anaran’ i Jehovah avokoa, Fa ny anarany ihany no misandratra; Ambonin’ ny tany sy ny lanitra ny voninahiny.
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
Ary manandratra tandroka ho an’ ny olony Izy, Dia fiderana ho an’ ny olony masìna rehetra, Eny, ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, firenena akaiky Azy. Haleloia.
