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!

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

2 Ny nirin’ ny fony dia nomenao azy, ary ny nangatahin’ ny molony tsy mba nolavinao. (Sela)

Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

3 Fa notsenainao fitahiana soa izy; teo an-dohany nasianao satro-boninahitra tena volamena.

For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

4 Aina no nangatahiny taminao, dia nomenao azy izany, dia andro lava mandrakizay doria.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

5 Lehibe ny voninahiny amin’ ny famonjenao; Laza sy voninahitra no nataonao taminy.

His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

6 Fa nataonao ho fitahiana mandrakizay izy; ampifalinao indrindra amin’ ny tavanao izy.

For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

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 the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

8 Ho azon’ ny tananao ny fahavalonao rehetra; eny, ho azon’ ny tananao ankavanana ny mankahala anao;

Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that 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 shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and 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 shalt 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 evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

12 Fa hampiamboho azy ianao; ny tsipìkanao no ikendrenao ny tavany.

For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

13 Misandrata amin’ ny herinao, Jehovah ô, hihira sy hankalaza ny herinao izahay.

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.
