< 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 music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
2 Ny nirin’ ny fony dia nomenao azy, ary ny nangatahin’ ny molony tsy mba nolavinao. (Sela)
You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
3 Fa notsenainao fitahiana soa izy; teo an-dohany nasianao satro-boninahitra tena volamena.
You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 Aina no nangatahiny taminao, dia nomenao azy izany, dia andro lava mandrakizay doria.
He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
5 Lehibe ny voninahiny amin’ ny famonjenao; Laza sy voninahitra no nataonao taminy.
Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
6 Fa nataonao ho fitahiana mandrakizay izy; ampifalinao indrindra amin’ ny tavanao izy.
You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
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; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
8 Ho azon’ ny tananao ny fahavalonao rehetra; eny, ho azon’ ny tananao ankavanana ny mankahala anao;
You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
9 Hataonao tahaka ny fatana misy afo mirehitra izy amin’ ny andro hisehoanao, Jehovah handany azy amin’ ny fahatezerany, ary handevona azy ny afo.
When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
10 Ny zanany haringanao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany, ary ny taranany tsy ho eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona;
You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
11 Fa nikasa hanisy ratsy anao izy, ka namoron-kevi-dratsy fa tsy nahefa.
Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
12 Fa hampiamboho azy ianao; ny tsipìkanao no ikendrenao ny tavany.
They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
13 Misandrata amin’ ny herinao, Jehovah ô, hihira sy hankalaza ny herinao izahay.
Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
