Salamo 132
1 Fihirana fiakarana.
Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
2 Dia ilay nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah Sy nivoady tamin’ ny Maherin’ i Jakoba hoe:
He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
3 Tsy mba hiditra ao an-daiko aho, Na hiakatra amin’ ny farafara fandriako,
He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
4 Tsy mba havelako hatory ny masoko, Na ho rendrehana ny hodimasoko,
I will not sleep at all
5 Mandra-pahitako fitoerana ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia fonenana ho an’ ny Maherin’ i Jakoba.
until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
6 Indro, nandre azy tany Efrata isika; Nahita azy tao amin’ ny saha anaty ala isika.
In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
7 Aoka hiditra any amin’ ny fonenany isika Ka hivavaka eo amin’ ny fitoeran-tongony.
[Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
8 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, ho amin’ ny fitsaharanao, Dia Hianao sy ny fiaran’ ny herinao.
Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
9 Aoka ny mpisoronao hirafy fahamarinana Ary aoka ny olonao masìna hihoby.
I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
10 Noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanomponao Dia aza mampiala maina ny tavan’ ny voahosotrao.
You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
11 Jehovah efa nianiana tamin’ i Davida, Ary marina izany ka tsy hitsoahany Ny ateraky ny kibonao no hapetrako eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandriananao.
Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
12 Raha hotandreman’ ny zanakao ny fanekeko Sy ny teny vavolombeloko izay hampianariko azy, Dia hipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandriananao mandrakizay doria kosa ny zanany.
If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
13 Fa Jehovah efa nifidy an’ i Ziona. Ary naniry azy ho fonenany.
Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
14 Ity, hoy Izy, no fitsaharako mandrakizay doria; Eto no honenako, fa efa niriko ity.
he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
15 Hotahiko tokoa ny fihinana ao; Hovokisako hanina ny malahelo ao.
I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
16 Ny mpisorona ao dia hampitafiko famonjena; Ary hihoby tokoa ny olo-masìna ao.
I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
17 Ao no hampitsimohako tandroka ho an’ i Davida Sy hanamboarako jiro ho an’ ny voahosotro.
There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
18 Ny fahavalony hampitafiko henatra; Fa eo aminy kosa no hamirapiratra ny satro-boninahiny.
I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
