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 loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 Manan-tsofina izy, fa tsy mandre; Manana orona izy, fa tsy manimbolo:
They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t 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 don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t 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 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 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 the LORD, both small and great.
14 Jehovah anie hampitombo anareo, Dia ianareo mbamin’ ny zanakareo.
May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Hitahy anareo anie Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Blessed are you by the LORD, 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 LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 Ny maty tsy mba hidera an’ i Jehovah. Na izay midìna any amin’ ny mangingina;
The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any 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 this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
