< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
Jehovah ô, aza izahay, aza izahay no omena voninahitra, Fa ny anaranao ihany, Noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao.
2 Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
3 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
5 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
6 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
7 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
Manan-tanana izy, fa tsy mandray; Manan-tongotra izy, fa tsy mandeha; Ary tsy mahaloa-peo ny tendany.
8 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
11 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
Jehovah mahatsiaro ka mitahy antsika; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Isiraely Izy; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Arona Izy;
13 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
Hotahiny izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, Na ny kely na ny lehibe.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
15 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
16 The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
17 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
18 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
