Salamo 115
1 Jehovah ô, aza izahay, aza izahay no omena voninahitra, Fa ny anaranao ihany, Noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
2 Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
3 Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
4 Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
5 Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
6 Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 Manan-tanana izy, fa tsy mandray; Manan-tongotra izy, fa tsy mandeha; Ary tsy mahaloa-peo ny tendany.
they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
8 Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
9 Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
10 Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
11 Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
12 Jehovah mahatsiaro ka mitahy antsika; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Isiraely Izy; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Arona Izy;
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
13 Hotahiny izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, Na ny kely na ny lehibe.
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
15 Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
16 Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
17 Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
18 Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
