Psalms 115
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
Jehovah ô, aza izahay, aza izahay no omena voninahitra, Fa ny anaranao ihany, Noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
4 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
5 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
7 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
Manan-tanana izy, fa tsy mandray; Manan-tongotra izy, fa tsy mandeha; Ary tsy mahaloa-peo ny tendany.
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
12 Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
Jehovah mahatsiaro ka mitahy antsika; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Isiraely Izy; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Arona Izy;
13 He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
Hotahiny izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, Na ny kely na ny lehibe.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
