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!
Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].
2 Ny nirin’ ny fony dia nomenao azy, ary ny nangatahin’ ny molony tsy mba nolavinao. (Sela)
You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.
3 Fa notsenainao fitahiana soa izy; teo an-dohany nasianao satro-boninahitra tena volamena.
In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.
4 Aina no nangatahiny taminao, dia nomenao azy izany, dia andro lava mandrakizay doria.
I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.
5 Lehibe ny voninahiny amin’ ny famonjenao; Laza sy voninahitra no nataonao taminy.
(I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.
6 Fa nataonao ho fitahiana mandrakizay izy; ampifalinao indrindra amin’ ny tavanao izy.
You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.
7 Fa ny mpanjaka matoky an’ i Jehovah, ary noho ny famindram-pon’ ny Avo Indrindra dia tsy hangozohozo izy.
Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.
8 Ho azon’ ny tananao ny fahavalonao rehetra; eny, ho azon’ ny tananao ankavanana ny mankahala anao;
You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.
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, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.
10 Ny zanany haringanao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany, ary ny taranany tsy ho eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona;
You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.
11 Fa nikasa hanisy ratsy anao izy, ka namoron-kevi-dratsy fa tsy nahefa.
They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.
12 Fa hampiamboho azy ianao; ny tsipìkanao no ikendrenao ny tavany.
You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.
13 Misandrata amin’ ny herinao, Jehovah ô, hihira sy hankalaza ny herinao izahay.
Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
