Salamo 149

1 Haleloia. Mihirà fihiram-baovao ho an’ i Jehovah, Ny fiderana Azy eo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny olona masìna.

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

2 Aoka ny Isiraely hifaly amin’ ny Mpanao azy; Aoka ho finaritra amin’ ny Mpanjakany ny zanak’ i Ziona.

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

3 Aoka hidera ny anarany amin’ ny dihy izy Sy hankalaza Azy amin’ ny ampongatapaka sy ny lokanga.

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 Fa sitrak’ i Jehovah ny olony; Ravahany famonjena ny mpandefitra.

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

5 Aoka ny olona masìna hifaly amin’ ny voninahitra; Aoka hihoby tsara eo am-pandriany izy.

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

6 Aoka hisy fanandratana an’ Andriamanitra eo am-bavany Sy sabatra roa lela eny an-tànany,

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 Hamaliany ny Jentilisa Sy hamaizany ny firenena maro,

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

8 Hamatorany ireo mpanjakany amin’ ny gadra, Sy ny olo-malazany amin’ ny gadra vy.

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

9 Mba hanaovany ny fitsarana voasoratra: Voninahitry ny olony masìna rehetra Izany. Haleloia.

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
