Salamo 24
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
2 Fa Izy no nanorina azy tambonin’ ny ranomasina. Tambonin’ ny rano no nampitoerany azy.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Iza no hiakatra any an-tendrombohitr’ i Jehovah? ary iza no hitoetra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna?
Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
4 Izay madio tanana sy mahitsy fo, izay tsy manandratra ny fanahiny ho amin’ ny lainga, na mianiana hamitaka.
[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
5 Handray fitahiana avy amin’ i Jehovah izy, ary fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitry ny famonjena azy.
(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
6 Izany no taranaka mitady Azy, izay mitady ny tavanao, dia Jakoba. (Sela)
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Asandrato ny lohanareo, ry vavahady, ary misandrata ianareo, ry varavarana fahagola, mba hidiran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny voninahitra.
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
8 Iza izao Mpanjakan’ ny voninahitra izao? Jehovah mahery tsitoha, Jehovah mpiady mahery.
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
9 Asandrato ny lohanareo, ry vavahady; ary manandrata ny lohanareo, ry varavarana fahagola, mba hidiran’ ny Mpanjakan’ ny voninahitra.
Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
10 Iza ary izao Mpanjakan’ ny voninahitra izao? Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izy no Mpanjakan’ ny voninahitra. (Sela)
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
