Psalms 89
1 Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me; people not yet born will hear that you faithfully [do all that you have promised].
Maskila nataon’ i Etana Ezrahita. Ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah no hohiraiko mandrakizay; Hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby no hampahafantaran’ ny vavako ny fahamarinanao.
2 I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever, and that your being faithful [to do what you have promised] is as permanent as the sky.
Fa hoy izaho Hotovonana mandrakizay ny famindram-po; Ny fahamarinanao hampitoerinao any an-danitra.
3 Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose [to serve me]. I have made this solemn (agreement with/promise to) him:
“Efa nanao fanekena tamin’ ny voafidiko Aho; Eny, efa nianiana tamin’ i Davida mpanompoko Aho hoe:
4 ‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”
Hampitoetra ny taranakao ho mandrakizay Aho Ka hanangana ny seza fiandriananao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.” (Sela)
5 Yahweh, I desire that all [those beings who are in] [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do, and that all your holy angels will sing about how you faithfully [do what you promise].
Ary ny lanitra hidera ny fahagagana ataonao, Jehovah ô, Ary ny fahamarinanao koa ao amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny olo-masìna.
6 There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh. There are no angels [RHQ] in heaven who are equal to you.
Fa iza any an-danitra no mitovy amin’ i Jehovah? Ary iza amin’ ny zanak’ ireo andriamanitra no manahaka an’ i Jehovah,
7 When your holy angels gather together, they declare that you must be revered; they say that you are more awesome than all the angels that surround your throne!
Dia Andriamanitra mahatahotra indrindra eo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny olo-masiny Ary hajain’ izay rehetra manodidina Azy?
8 O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are; your faithfully doing [all that you promise] is [like a cloak that] [MET] [always] surrounds you.
Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, ô, iza no mahery tahaka Anao, Jehovah? Ary manodidina Anao ny fahamarinanao.
9 You rule over the powerful seas; when their waves rise up, you calm them.
Hianao manapaka ny fisavoan’ ny ranomasina; Raha manonja ny alony, dia mampitsahatra azy Hianao.
10 You are the one who crushed [and killed the great sea monster named] Rahab. You [defeated and] scattered your enemies with your great power [MTY].
Hianao nanorotoro an-dRahaba ho tahaka izay voavono; Ny sandrinao mahery no nampielezanao ny fahavalonao.
11 The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; and everything on the earth is yours, because you created it all.
Anao ny lanitra, Anao koa ny tany; Izao tontolo izao sy izay rehetra eo aminy. Hianao no nanorina azy.
12 You created [everything from] the north to the south. Tabor [Mountain] and Hermon [Mountain] joyfully praise you [MTY].
Ny avaratra sy ny atsimo. Hianao no nahary azy; Ny anaranao no ihobian’ i Tabara sy Hermona.
13 (You/Your arms) are very powerful; (you/your hands) are extremely strong.
Manan-tsandry mahery Hianao; Mahery ny tananao, avo ny tananao ankavanana.
14 (Your rule [MTY] over us is based on/As you rule over us, you are always) treating people fairly and justly, and on/are always faithfully loving us and doing [what you promised].
Rariny sy fitsarana no fanorenan’ ny seza fiandriananao; Famindram-po sy fahamarinana no mialoha ny tavanao.
15 Yahweh, happy are the people who worship you with joyful shouts, who live knowing that you are always watching over them.
Sambatra izay olona mahalala ny feo mahafaly; Jehovah ô, amin’ ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao no handehanany.
16 Every day, throughout the day, they rejoice in what you [MTY] [have done], and they praise you for being very good [to them].
Ny anaranao no hifaliany mandrakariva; Ary ny fahamarinanao no hisandratany.
17 You give us your glorious strength; because you act in our favor, we defeat [MET] [our enemies].
Fa voninahitry ny heriny Hianao; Ary amin’ ny fankasitrahanao no hisandratan’ ny tandrokay.
18 Yahweh, you gave us [the one who] protects us [MET]; you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship, chose a king for us.
Fa an’ i Jehovah ny ampinganay; Ary an’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely ny mpanjakanay.
19 Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying, “I have helped a famous soldier; I chose him from among all the people to be a king.
Tamin’ izany ny olonao masìna dia nilazanao tamin’ ny fahitana hoe: Nametraka famonjena tamin’ izay mahery Aho Ary nanandratra ny anankiray voafidy tamin’ ny olona.
20 That man is David, the one who will serve me [faithfully], and I anointed him with sacred olive oil [to make him king].
Efa nahita an’ i Davida mpanompoko Aho; Ny diloiloko masìna no nanosorako azy;
21 I [MTY] will always strengthen him; with my power [MTY] I will make him strong.
Izy no homban’ ny tanako; Eny, ny sandriko no hampahery azy.
22 His enemies will never find ways to defeat him, and wicked people will never defeat him.
Tsy hamitaka azy ny fahavalo; Ary tsy hampahory azy ny ratsy fanahy.
23 I will crush his enemies in front of him and get rid of those who hate him.
Fa handripaka ny fahavalony eo anoloan’ ny tavany Aho Sady hamely izay mankahala azy.
24 I will always be loyal to him and faithfully love him and enable him to defeat [MET] [his enemies].
Ny fahamarinako sy ny famindram-poko homba azy; Ary ny anarako no hisandratan’ ny tandrony.
25 I will cause (his kingdom/the area that he rules) to include all the land from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Euphrates] River.
Dia hampitoetra ny tànany amin’ ny ranomasina Aho Ary ny tànany ankavanana amin’ ny ony.
26 He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the one who protects [MET] and saves me.’
Izy hiantso Ahy hoe: Raiko Hianao, Andriamanitro sy Vatolampin’ ny famonjena ahy.
27 I will give him [the rights/privileges that a man’s] firstborn son has [MET]; he will be the greatest king on the earth.
Ary Izaho kosa hanao azy ho lahimatoa, Ambony indrindra amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany.
28 I will always be loyal to him, and my agreement [to bless] him will last forever.
Hitahiry ny famindram-poko ho azy mandrakizay Aho, Ary ny fanekeko hampaharetiko aminy.
29 I will establish a line of his descendants that will never end, various ones of his descendants will always be kings.
Hampaharitra ny taranany ho mandrakizay Aho, Ary ny seza fiandrianany ho tahaka ny faharetan’ ny lanitra.
30 But, if [some of] his descendants disobey my laws, and do not not behave like my commands say that they should,
Raha mahafoy ny lalàko ny zanany Ka tsy mandeha araka ny fitsipiko,
31 if they disregard my requirements and do not do the right things that I have told them to do,
Raha ny teniko no ataony ho fahavetavetana, Ary ny didiko no tsy tandremany,
32 I will punish them severely [MTY] and cause them to suffer for doing wrong.
Dia hovaliako tsorakazo ny fahadisoany, Ary kapoka ny helony.
33 But I will not stop faithfully loving [David], and I will always do what I promised him.
Nefa ny famindram-poko tsy hofoanako aminy, Ary ny fahamarinako tsy havadiko,
34 I will not break the agreement that I made with him; I will not change even one word that I spoke [to him].
Ny fanekeko tsy hotsoahako, Ary ny nolazain’ ny molotro tsy hovako.
35 Once I made a solemn promise to David, and that will never change, and because I am God, I will never lie to David.
Izao zavatra iray loha izao no nianianako tamin’ ny fahamasinako, Tsy handainga amin’ i Davida mihitsy Aho:
36 [I promised that] the line of kings descended from him will go on forever; it will last as long as the sun [shines].
Ny taranany haharitra mandrakizay, Ary ny seza fiandrianany ho tahaka ny masoandro eo anatrehako;
37 That line will (be as permanent/last as long) as the moon that is always watching everything from the sky.
Hampitoerina mandrakizay tahaka ny volana izy, Tahaka ny vavolombelona marina any an-danitra. (Sela)
38 But [Yahweh], now you have rejected [DOU] David! You are very angry with the king whom you appointed.
Fa efa narianao sy nolavinao izy; Efa tezitra tamin’ ny voahosotrao Hianao.
39 [It seems that] you have broken the agreement that you made with your servant, [David]; it seems as though you [have signaled that he is no longer the king by] throwing his crown into the dust/dirt.
Efa nahafoana ny fanekena tamin’ ny mpanomponao Hianao; Efa nataonao ho fahavetavetana ny satro-boninahiny ka narianao teny an-tany.
40 You have torn down the walls [that protect] his [city], and allowed all his forts to become ruins.
Efa noravanao ny fefiny rehetra; Efa nosimbanao ny fiarovany mafy.
41 All those who pass by plunder/steal his possessions; his neighbors (laugh at/ridicule) him.
Izay rehetra mandalo eny an-dalana dia manimba azy; Efa fandà-tsan’ ny mpiray monina aminy izy.
42 You have enabled his enemies to defeat him; you have made them all happy.
Efa nampisandratra ny tanana ankavanan’ ny rafilahiny Hianao Ary efa nampifaly ny fahavalony rehetra.
43 You have caused his sword to become useless, and you have not helped him in his battles.
Efa nampihemotra ny lelan’ ny sabany Hianao Ka tsy nampaharitra azy tamin’ ny ady.
44 You have caused his splendor to end (OR, You have taken away his power by knocking his throne to the ground.
Efa nampitsahatra ny voninahiny Hianao Ka nanongana ny seza fiandrianany ho amin’ ny tany.
45 You have caused him to look old when he is still young and caused him to be very shamed/disgraced.
Efa nahafohy ny andron’ ny fahatanorany Hianao Ary efa nanaron-kenatra azy. (Sela)
46 O Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like a fire?
Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô? Hiery mandrakizay va Hianao? Mirehitra tahaka ny afo va ny fahatezeranao?
47 Do not forget that life is very short; have you created all us people in vain?
Tsarovy ny hafohin’ ny androko; Toa zava-poana mihitsy ny namoronanao ny zanak’ olombelona rehetra!
48 No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die; (No one can [RHQ] avoid going/Everyone will go) to the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
Iza no olona ho velona tsy hahita fahafatesana, Fa hamonjy ny fanahiny tsy ho azon’ ny tanan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita? (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
49 Yahweh, you promised long ago that you would faithfully love us; why are you not doing that? You solemnly promised that to David!
Tompo ô, aiza ny famindram-ponao fahiny, Izay nianiananao tamin’ i Davida tamin’ ny fahamarinanao?
50 Yahweh, do not forget that people insult me! (Heathen people/People who do not know you) curse me!
Tompo ô, tsarovy ny latsa manjo ny mpanomponao, Ny tratrako vesaran’ ny firenena rehetra,
51 Yahweh, your enemies insult your chosen king! They insult/ridicule him wherever he goes.
Dia ny nandatsan’ ny fahavalonao, Jehovah ô, Eny, ny nandatsany ny dian’ ny voahosotrao.
52 I hope/desire that Yahweh will be praised forever! Amen! May it be so!
Isaorana mandrakizay anie Jehovah. Amena dia Amena.
