Salamo 121

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Ny famonjena ahy dia avy amin’ i Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Tsy mba havelany hangozohozo anie ny tongotrao; Tsy ho rendrehana anie ny Mpiaro anao.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Indro, tsy matory na rendrehana Ny Mpiaro ny Isiraely.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 Jehovah no Mpiaro anao; Jehovah no fialofanao eo amin’ ny an-kavananao.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Ny masoandro tsy mba hamely anao nony andro, Na ny volana nony alina.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 Jehovah hiaro anao amin’ ny ratsy rehetra; Eny, hiaro ny fanahinao Izy.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 Jehovah hiaro anao, na mivoaka na miditra, Hatramin’ izao ka ho mandrakizay.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
