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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2 Nahoana ny jentilisa no manao hoe: Aiza izay Andriamaniny?
Why should the heathen say, “Where is now their God?”
3 Nefa any an-danitra Andriamanitsika; Efa nanao izay sitrapony rehetra Izy.
Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Volafotsy sy volamena ny sampin’ ireny, Asan’ ny tanan’ olona:
Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 Manam-bava izy, fa tsy miteny; Mana-maso izy, fa tsy mahita;
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but 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 cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8 Ho tahaka azy izay manao azy Sy izay rehetra matoky azy.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9 Ry Isiraely ô, matokia an’ i Jehovah; Heriny sy ampingany Izy.
O Israel, trust in the Lord: 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 the Lord: 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 the Lord, trust in the Lord 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;
The Lord, mindful of us, 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 the Lord, the small and the great together.
14 Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of 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 the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down into silence.
18 Fa izahay hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay. Haleloia.
But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
