Psalms 97
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
Mifehe t’Iehovà, hirebeke ty tane toy, hifale o tokonose maroo.
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Ie arikoboñen-drahoñe naho hamoromoroñañe; havantañañe naho ty hatò ro ioreña’ i fiambesa’ey.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Miaolo Aze ty afo, mamorototo o rafelahi’eo mb’etia mb’eroa.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Nihazavae’ o hela’eo ty voatse toy; niisa’ ty tane toy le nihondrahondra.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Nitranake hoe karafo o vohitseo ami’ty niatrefa’ Iehovà, añatrefa’ i Talè’ ty tane toy iaby.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Mitalily ty havantaña’e o likerañeo, vaho fonga mahaoniñe ty enge’e ondatio.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Hene salatse ze mitoron-tsare sokitse, o misenge raha kòakeo; miambanea ama’e ry ndrahare iabio!
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Nahajanjiñe ty Tsiône le niehake, nirebeke o anak’ampela Iehodào, ty amo fizaka’oo ry Iehovà.
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
Amy te Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro Andindimone’ ty tane toy; vaho onjoneñe andigiligi’ ze hene ndrahare irehe.
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
Hejeo o haratiañeo ry mpikoko Iehovà; ambena’e ty fiai’ o noro’eo, avotso’e an-taña’ o lo-tserekeo.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Ararake ho a’ o vantañeo ty hazavàñe, ho a’ o mahity arofoo ty hafaleañe.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Mirebeha am’ Iehovà, ry vantañeo, vaho andriaño i tahina’e masiñey.
