Salamo 108

1 Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Andriamanitra ô, tafatoetra ny foko; Ny fanahiko no hihira sy hankalaza.

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Mifohaza, ry valiha sy lokanga; hifoha maraina koa aho.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

3 Hidera Anao eny amin’ ny firenena maro aho, Jehovah ô, Ary hankalaza Anao eny amin’ ny jentilisa.

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 Fa lehibe mihoatra ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; Ary mipaka eny amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 Misandrata any ambonin’ ny lanitra Hianao, Andriamanitra ô; Ary aoka ho etỳ ambonin’ ny tany rehetra ny voninahitrao.

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 Mba hahafaka ny malalanao, Dia vonjeo amin’ ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: Hifaly Aho ka hizara an’ i Sekema, Ary ny lohasahan’ i Sokota horefesiko;

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Ahy Gileada, Ahy Manase; Ary aron’ ny lohako Efraima; Tehim-panjakako Joda;

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 Tavindranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no hanipazako ny kapako; noho ny amin’ i Filistia ho hihobiako.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? Iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

11 Tsy Hianao va no efa nanary anay, Andriamanitra ô, Sady tsy mivoaka miaraka amin’ ny miaramilanay, Andriamanitra ô?

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

12 Vonjeo amin’ ny fahavalo izahay; Fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon’ ny olona.

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

13 Andriamanitra no haharezan-tsika; Fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
