Salamo 105
1 Miderà an’ i Jehovah, miantsoa ny anarany; Ataovy fantatra any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
2 Mihirà ho Azy, mankalazà Azy; Saintsaino ny fahagagana rehetra ataony.
Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
3 Ataovy ho reharehanareo ny anarany masìna; Aoka hifaly ny fon’ izay mitady an’ i Jehovah.
Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
4 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah sy ny heriny Katsaho mandrakariva ny tavany.
Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
5 Tsarovy ny asa mahagaga natao-ny Dia ny fahagagany sy ny fitsaran’ ny vavany,
You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
6 Ry taranak’ i Abrahama mpanom-pony, Dia ianareo olom-boafidiny, taranak’ i Jakoba.
7 Jehovah, Izy no Andriamanitsika; Manerana ny tany rehetra ny fitsarany.
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 Mahatsiaro ny fanekeny mandrakizay Izy, Dia ilay teny izay voadidiny ho an’ ny taranaka arivo mandimby,
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 Eny, ilay nataony tamin’ i Abrahama, Sy ny fianianany tamin’ Isaka;
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 Izay naoriny ho lalana ho an’ i Jakoba, Sy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an’ Isiraely,
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 Ka nataony hoe: Homeko anao ny tany Kanana, Ho lovanareo voazara amin’ ny famolaina,
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 Fony mbola olom-bitsy izy, Eny, vitsy sady vahiny tao,
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 Ary nifindrafindra tany amin’ ny firenena, Sy nifindrafindra fanjakana ho amin’ ny firenen-kafa,
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 Tsy nisy navelany hampahory azy, Ary nananatra mpanjaka Izy noho ny amin’ ireo hoe:
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 Aza manendry ireo voahosotro, Ary aza manisy ratsy ireo mpaminaniko.
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 Dia niantso ny mosary ho amin’ ny tany Izy; Notapahiny avokoa ny mofo rehetra, izay tohan’ aina;
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 Naniraka lehilahy hialoha azy Izy; Josefa namidy ho andevo;
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 Nampijaliny tamin’ ny fatorana ny tongony; Nogadrany vy izy.
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 Mandra-pahatongan’ ny fotoana hahatanterahan’ ny teniny; Nizaha toetra azy ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 Naniraka ny mpanjaka hamaha azy, Eny, ny mpanapaka ny vahoaka, mba handefa azy.
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 Nanao azy ho tompon’ ny tranony izy Sy ho mpanapaka ny fananany rehetra,
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 Mba hamatotra ny mpanapaka araka ny sitrapony, Sy hampianatra fahendrena ny loholony.
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 Ary Isiraely nankany Egypta; Eny, Jakoba nivahiny tany amin’ ny tanin’ i Hama.
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 Dia nahamaro ny taranaky ny olony ho be indrindra Izy ka nampahery azy noho ny fahavalony.
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 Nampiova ny fon’ ireny hankahala ny olony Izy Sy hihendry ny mpanompony.
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 Naniraka an’ i Mosesy mpanompony Sy Arona izay nofidiny Izy.
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 Ary izy ireo nanao ny famantarany teo aminy Sy fahagagana tany amin’ ny tanin’ i Hama.
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 Nahatonga aizina Izy ka nahamaizina; Ary tsy nandà ny teniny izy ireo.
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 Nahatonga ny ranony ho rà Izy Ka nahafaty ny hazandranony.
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 Nisy sahona betsaka ny taniny, Eny, na dia hatrao an-trano fandrian’ ny mpanjakany aza.
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 Niteny Izy, dia tonga ny lalitra betsaka Sy ny moka teny amin’ ny faritaniny rehetra.
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 Nahatonga havandra ho solon’ ny ranonorana Izy Sy afo midedadeda teny amin’ ny taniny.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 Namely ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny Izy Ka nanapatapaka ny hazo teo amin’ ny taniny.
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 Niteny Izy, dia tonga ny valala Sy ny sompanga tsy hita isa;
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 Dia nihinana ny zava-maitso rehetra teny amin’ ny taniny ireny Ka nandany ny vokatry ny taniny.
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 Ary namely ny lahimatoa rehetra tany amin’ ny taniny Izy, Dia ny voalohan’ ainy rehetra.
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 Ary dia nitondra ny olony nivoaka Izy sady nampahazo azy volafotsy sy volamena; Ary tsy nisy nangozohozo na dia iray akory aza tamin’ ny fireneny.
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 Faly Egypta tamin’ ny nahalasanany; Fa efa nahazo azy ny fahatahorana ireo.
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 Namelatra rahona ho fialokalofana Izy Ary afo ho fanazavana nony alina.
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 Nangataka izy ireo, dia nahatonga papelika Izy, Ary mofon-danitra no namokisany azy.
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 Nanokatra ny vatolampy Izy, dia nigororoana ny rano Ka nandriaka tamin’ ny tany maina ho renirano.
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 Fa nahatsiaro ny teniny masìna Sy Abrahama mpanompony Izy,
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 Dia nitondra ny olony nivoaka tamin’ ny fifaliana Izy Ary ny voafidiny tamin’ ny fihobiana;
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 Ka dia nanome azy ny tanin’ ny jentilisa Izy; Ary nandova ny vitan’ ny firenena maro ireny,
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 Mba hitandremany ny didiny, Sy hankatoavany ny lalàny. Haleloia.
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
