< Salamo 21 >
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, ny herinao no hifalian’ ny mpanjaka; ary endrey ny haben’ ny hiravoravoany amin’ ny famonjenao!
The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!
2 Ny nirin’ ny fony dia nomenao azy, ary ny nangatahin’ ny molony tsy mba nolavinao. (Sela)
Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Fa notsenainao fitahiana soa izy; teo an-dohany nasianao satro-boninahitra tena volamena.
For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Aina no nangatahiny taminao, dia nomenao azy izany, dia andro lava mandrakizay doria.
He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 Lehibe ny voninahiny amin’ ny famonjenao; Laza sy voninahitra no nataonao taminy.
His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.
6 Fa nataonao ho fitahiana mandrakizay izy; ampifalinao indrindra amin’ ny tavanao izy.
For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.
7 Fa ny mpanjaka matoky an’ i Jehovah, ary noho ny famindram-pon’ ny Avo Indrindra dia tsy hangozohozo izy.
For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Ho azon’ ny tananao ny fahavalonao rehetra; eny, ho azon’ ny tananao ankavanana ny mankahala anao;
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.
9 Hataonao tahaka ny fatana misy afo mirehitra izy amin’ ny andro hisehoanao, Jehovah handany azy amin’ ny fahatezerany, ary handevona azy ny afo.
Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Ny zanany haringanao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany, ary ny taranany tsy ho eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona;
Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.
11 Fa nikasa hanisy ratsy anao izy, ka namoron-kevi-dratsy fa tsy nahefa.
For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
12 Fa hampiamboho azy ianao; ny tsipìkanao no ikendrenao ny tavany.
For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
13 Misandrata amin’ ny herinao, Jehovah ô, hihira sy hankalaza ny herinao izahay.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
