< Salamo 2 >

1 Nahoana no mitabataba ny jentilisa, ary misaina anoano foana ny firenena?
Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.
2 Ireo mpanjakan’ ny tany mitsangana, Ary ny mpanapaka miara-mioko hanohitra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Mesiany ka manao hoe:
The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,
3 “Aoka hotosantsika ny famatorany, ka hariantsika hiala amintsika ny famehezany.”
“Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”
4 Izay mipetraka any an-danitra mihomehy, ny Tompo maneso ireo.
But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.
5 Dia hiteny azy amin’ ny fahavinirany Izy ka hampangorohoro azy amin’ ny fahatezerany hoe:
He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “Izaho kosa efa nanendry ny Mpanjakako Tambonin’ i Ziona, tendrombohitro masìna.”
“It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 “Hilaza zava-boatendry Aho; Jehovah nilaza tamiko hoe: Zanako Hianao, Izaho niteraka anao androany.
“I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Mangataha amiko, dia homeko ho lovanao ny jentilisa ary ny faran’ ny tany ho fanananao.
Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.
9 Hotorotoroinao amin’ ny tehim-by izy: toy ny famaky vilany tany no hanamontsamontsananao azy.”
You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
10 Ary amin’ izany dia hendre ianareo, ry mpanjaka; minoa anatra ianareo, ry mpitsaran’ ny tany.
So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!
11 Manompoa an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fahatahorana, ary mifalia amin’ ny fangovitana.
Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!
12 Manoroha ny zanaka, fandrao ho tezitra izy, ka ho very eny an-dalana ianareo; fa vetivety dia hirehitra ny fahatezerany. Sambatra izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
Submit to his son so that he will not become angry and you die suddenly. His anger flares up quickly, but how happy are all those who go to him for protection.
