< Salamo 115 >
1 Jehovah ô, aza izahay, aza izahay no omena voninahitra, Fa ny anaranao ihany, Noho ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 Manan-tanana izy, fa tsy mandray; Manan-tongotra izy, fa tsy mandeha; Ary tsy mahaloa-peo ny tendany.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 Jehovah mahatsiaro ka mitahy antsika; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Isiraely Izy; Hitahy ny taranak’ i Arona Izy;
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 Hotahiny izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, Na ny kely na ny lehibe.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
