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, YHWH, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.
2 Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
3 Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
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 mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
6 Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not 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 do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
Israel, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
10 Ry taranak’ i Arona ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
House of Aaron, trust in YHWH. He is their help and their shield.
11 Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
You who fear YHWH, trust in YHWH. 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;
YHWH remembers us. He will bless us. 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 those who fear YHWH, both small and great.
14 Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
May YHWH increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Blessed are you by YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
16 Ny lanitra dia an’ i Jehovah: fa ny tany nomeny ho an’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
The heavens are the heavens of YHWH; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
17 Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
The dead do not praise JAH, neither any who 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 forevermore. Praise JAH.
